What? Who says everything has to be the same? Or is? There's a reason "90s style fps" games are coming back, and that reason is design principles have changed. If *one* fps game per 10 new ones adheres to old principles, it's neither "not fun" nor about "living in the past".

Neither Q3A nor UT lock you in a room full of dozens of enemies, essentially turning into a first person Robotron & the like.

No, I don't. Just a different design of a shooter, that brings the genre closer to Robotron.

Trading @nerflad in this, as I'm having pretty much the same conversation in different threads. I might have been too fast to call Painkiller-style games "arena shooters", but my point is this: How's Q3's gameplay any different than playing on a any multiplayer-only maps of Q12?

"Streamlined" doesn't mean the same as "simplified". Not a bad thing, but it's not quite the same as far as gameplay goes. While Prey keeps the complexity intact.

So far Prey has been a lot closer to that. I'm already out of inventory space. Ammo for firearms is scarce. Direct confrontations with even trivial enemies result in big losses. All this brings Prey close to System Shock 2. BioShock wasn't that, very much intentionally.

Guys. It depends on your card and what sound device you've selected in your config. Windows would handle your MIDI through your sound card directly, and so would DOS. Both would be identical.

The ONLY way this could have been different if you DIDN'T have a card with MIDI capabilities. Then Windows had its own MIDI to FM instrument table, while DOOM for DOS had one built in. Then it would be different. But then that soundtrack isn't really designed for that.

It was tinted ever so slightly, varied from scene the scene. There were green props and part of sets that stood out. But around 2003 when the sequels were coming out new masters were made that just slapped a layer of green over EVERYTHING to the point that it was ridiculous.

To people who are saying the tint was intentional: the grotesque ultra green tint DIDN'T exist for the first four years of this film's existence. You know what I'm talking about if you've seen it in a theater and/or the first generation DVD.

This video is terrible because it pushes both contrast and brightness, so it's not actually representative of either of the sources, but at least it can give you the idea of HOW MUCH this movie was changed for the previously used master https://youtu.be/gtktg9hbC_g

Just an example of how extreme some of the changes were in the 2004 version. But the original DVD was also crap, so a lot of more colorful stuff got lost in it. I'm happy that now there's a proper HD source that actually represents the original look of this film.

Yes, I know why it was done. It was also done *poorly*. As a professional colorist I'm sure you can appreciate the movie not being ruined. There are few shots in the 2004 version that had me screaming because it was obvious someone spent 5 sec on it & moved on.

I feel that as far as point & clicking, Larry 7 is the most optimal. A custom list of verbs in a drop down menu for each hot spot, inventory items in a menu that drops down from that menu, and also an option to type in your own verb.

If you want good nearest neighbor resizing, I suggest using FFMPEG instead.

Blood team severed the connection with 3D Realms earlier. The letter complaining about Ken & the company can be found in leaked Blood alpha. That's why Blood actually handles many things differently from other Build games. Voxels were in before then.

I personally think that QFG is Sierra's best series, and most people aren't admitting the same mostly because of their nostalgia for [insert name] Quest.

QfG games always felt tightly designed, when many of Sierra's titles short of felt mostly made up as they went along (especially Space Quest)
