New Underworld game unveils its new look and... it looks... kind of shitty.
It really reminds me of how in the early 2000s everything had to have extreme bump mapping & look like it was covered in jelly in the light
I reserve my final judgement until I see it in motion, but for now I'm just sort of confused about it.
Tbh, the original Underworld didn't look that great either
The second game was a bit of an improvement.
I think last game I played that had that extreme shiny jelly look to everything was Duke Nukem Forever.
Ugh. I wish I could erase THAT game from my memory.

Over a quarter century later & we still haven't learned: Batffleck killed people as well.

And also marked people for a certain death. I'm not really sure which one is more annoying.
Replying to @darthhelmet86, @KlytosIQ and @IQ_Adventures
If I have to see Batman kill people, I'd rather see it happen Looney Tunes style like in Returns
Replying to @darthhelmet86, @KlytosIQ and @IQ_Adventures
Because come on XD https://youtu.be/ydZzeUD-x-Y
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
How about the car full of people Batman shot at that blew up?
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
Also "passive murder" isn't in Batman's vocabulary. And neither is "shit", if you wanna get technical.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
Snyder's excuse is pretty much "everyone else is doing it too."
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
He called it "by proxy". "Shoot the car they’re in, the car blows up or the grenade would go off..."
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
Snyder watched a YouTube video & read/watched The Dark Knight Returns. That's his Batman reference points.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
"A little more like manslaughter than murder, although I would say that in the Frank Miller comic book...
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
"...that I reference, he kills all the time."
a) Manslaughter?
b) NO. Absolutely not true.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
Miller's book is pretty amazing. I love it. But it builds on Batman's long legacy.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
It's a story that makes sense. And it works so well. Very emotional. They have REASONS to fight.
Replying to @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
I HIGHLY recommend watching the animated adaptation. It's fantastic. I cried watching it.
Replying to @frederik_olsen, @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
I think we all forgave Burton a long time ago. Because the blazed the trail basically.

Batman the animated series got emotional and dark as fuck at times. They did Batman the best.

Tom Hardy made that movie worth watching, the rest I didn't give a fuck about.
Replying to @frederik_olsen, @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
Not to mention, Nolan almost completely ignores Bruce Wayne in his films.
Replying to @frederik_olsen, @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
To me, you can't have a good Batman film without exploring the duality, but Nolan doesn't care
Replying to @frederik_olsen, @darthhelmet86 and @IQ_Adventures
I think Begins really only had ONE Wayne scene. The one taken from Year One. For shame.
Still the best Batman movie.

Honestly only the 1st game is worth it. Not one of Coktel's best, but I still love it.
Replying to @mcclure111
Hmmmm............... I'd say Goblins 3.
Replying to @mcclure111
Oh yes. Just stay away from the CD version! Luckily it's one of those few cases when GOG provides both options.
Replying to @mcclure111
You're loosing all the beautiful chip music, and gaining awful intro and voice acting that was never meant to be there.
I feel like getting drunk and playing Goblins 3. And I don't see anything wrong with that plan.
Replying to @mcclure111
Enjoy. It's a great game, despite being hard as hell sometimes.
Now that it's been some time, I'd like to ask:
If you're a GOG customer, how often do you use Galaxy instead of web?
Also why is it so hard for GOG to set their ScummVM games to OpenGL (no filtering) instead of forcing 640x480?
Replying to @dosnostalgic
All that requires is putting "gfx_mode=opengl_nearest" in the config file. How does 640x480 look on you LED monitor? I'm gonna say like shit
Remember, if you bought Goblins games on GOG, you might want to play the floppy versions of the 2nd & 3rd game.
With the exception of the first Goblins game and Inca, stay away from CD-ROM updates of Coktel Vision games.
Replying to @IkiFoo

Btw, this is what happens if you run Another World in EGA
Replying to @dosnostalgic
If Another World was changed a bit to use 640x350 EGA mode, it could have taken advantage of the full 64 EGA palette.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
And then I'm almost certain it could have looked nearly just as good as the VGA one.
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Especially considering that the original Amiga version did give you a choice of different resolutions.
Replying to @cookedmonty
Yes, but 320x200 EGA limits it to one EGA palette. Switching to 640x350 lets you chose 16 out of 64
Anyway, play Another World.
This is the full 64 EGA color palette, out of which you could choose 16, but only in 640x350 mode
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Very few games actually took advantage of this. But here's a pretty good example - Crisis in the Kremlin:

Probably the most famous game that used 640x350 EGA mode is SimCity
Replying to @dosnostalgic
Although to be fair SimCity has a rather extensive video support. You can play it hi-res mono CGA if you want:
Replying to @cookedmonty
No, here the difficulty was that you couldn't plot pixels, it was a text mode. You could hack it to draw with cut off text
Replying to @cookedmonty
characters. It's touch to explain. You can count the games that used that on one hand.
I'm gonna have a drink. Maybe I'll come up with some more IBM PC graphics history after a few.
Replying to @cookedmonty
Well, yes. 8088 Corruption, 8088 Domination, and especially 8088 MPH are absolutely amazing.
Oh, if you have any questions, please - look things up! Everything is rather well documented, & Twitter isn't exactly explanation friendly.
Also, I'm by no means an expert in DOS hardware of any kind. I just played a lot of games and read a lot of stuff at one point.
Replying to @cookedmonty
That's is pretty neat. He did both Corruption & Domination, and was involved in 8088 MPH as well. He's very knowledgeable.
I actually have no fucking clue what this "extended" mode is all about apart from the fact that a bunch of Lucas & Sierra games support it.

Replying to @ATMcashpoint
I understand that. I was remarking on the fact that I don't know much about the extended EGA modes.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
You didn't have to do that in VGA. VGA could do 640x400/640x480 16 colors in VGA.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
Nope.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
Nope. Here's a good example of 640x480 16 VGA. Trust me, it's a standard.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
What you COULD do VGA is switch to EGA mode & then alter its palette. That's how Darkseed gets its colors.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
That is NOT what's happening.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
That's Syndicate, man.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
No. It switched between 320x200x256 for menus, and 640x480x16 for the game. Both in VGA only.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
16 colors doesn't mean EGA! It's 640x480 16 color VGA - a mode only available in VGA. A standard mode.
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
You can't get 640x480 in EGA!
Replying to @ATMcashpoint
No. Oh Jesus Chist, Twitter is not the medium for that.

Oh shit, son. King's Quest 6 in EGA
Bullfrog's Populous 2 and Syndicate both use 640x480 16 color VGA mode
Darkseed's unique look was due to using a 640x350 16 color EGA mode, but in VGA, hence the custom palette

Replying to @ben_304
Yeah. It's still a part of the same scene though. Watch the movie.
Replying to @ben_304
Yes, that's Vadim Usov. He worked with Tarkovsky on Andrei Rublev and Solaris. Despite the last two being anamorphic widescreen,
Replying to @ben_304
it's very similar in structure. Tarkovsky then worked with Georgy Rerberg. That was a different, but an incredible collaboration.
Replying to @ben_304
It was NOT done on accident. BUT it was done "by the eye" sort of speak. Cinematographers were trained & taught.
Replying to @ben_304
That's why today all movies look great. There's instant preview on a monitor. It's amazing, and you have an option to adjust things
