God I miss Unreal Tournament, why can’t we have multiplayer games like this again? Just a silly fun multiplayer shooter with lots of options on how to play and no greedy shit on top.

kattenluik,

There’s plenty games that’re like that, just not as popular as other shooters around right now.

KISSmyOS,

But still with more players than there ever were on Unreal Tournament.

kattenluik,

Edited my comment to make that clear for you.

KISSmyOS,

I understood your comment without the edit.

WuergerLarsDietrich,

You like to name some?

Goronmon,

Multiplayer games with some form of progression are much more popular. Games like you describe still exist, they are just less popular relative to others.

AsterixTheGoth,

Because Fortnight. Epic cancelled development on everything else except fortnight.

I played that beta. I played that Early Access. UT4 was fun and I was stoked for it. I was shit at it, but I was having a blast when I played it. Now it’s dead. All Hail Fortnight!

Don’t even remind me of UT4, I was there day one and was absolutely furious when they cancelled it. Seriously, fuck Epic.

One of the beste games i’ve ever played.
I remember that I played at 2x Gamespeed, lowgrav and Instagib for so many nights. Thanks for the good memories

Was just thinking the same. A happy trip down memory lane. We used to do quad jump + low gravity + instagib. There was some capture the flag map that was great with these mods. I can’t remember the name now though.

WuergerLarsDietrich,

Maybe CTF-Face? With the two huge towers?

But there were many maps extra made for this. And even whole servers runnig this gamemod 24/7.

Yup. That’s it.

dan1101,

It was so great to have those options. Games could do that now but most don’t.

Instagib deathmatch with low gravity was so much fun :)

Glamborghini,

[The map] Morpheus with those settings was a riot.

Man, this could be mistaken for a Wes Anderson film. This looks incredible.

Ever since playing The Neverhood I always wished more games would use the stop motion aesthetic.

So that’s what Woody has been up to. Buzz was asking about him again.

The animation, art style, and music all seem fantastic. Doesn’t appear to be a very gameplay-drive game, but I could be wrong. Certainly could be very enjoyable for the story alone.

I found this so interesting that I then went and watched the full version, absolutely fascinating view into how you make a video game in the brave new 3d world of the 90s!

What a lovely art style.

The way it moves seamlessly from isometric to 3rd person shooter is cool. The pixel art is very good-looking. I hope the game turns out to be fun.

It’s worth mentioning that there is a demo available on Steam: Holstin Steam Page

7112,

That’s awesome. Isometric is great for exploring but always hated combat with it. Animation is really smooth too.

Was not expecting to see Talos but damn is it cool.

The first Dragon’s Dogma is one of my favorite games of all time and this one is shaping up to look great!

Elves, minotaurs, colossuses, and gorgons! This looks really good.

I want more Ars Technica War Stories. They’re the reason I subscribed to the channel.

Already saw this a year or two ago, it’s a great watch and would highly recommend anyone who hasn’t seen it yet does watch it

This made Naughty Dog the pioneers of the streaming levels, I guess.

They also pulled a really cool hack on Jak and Dexter. They were able to hack into the PS1 chip hidden away in the PS2 for backwards compatibility to get some extra processing power!

vrighter,

source? I’d really like to read about this

pastel_de_airfryer,

I read about it over a decade ago. Something about the game being difficult to emulate because of it. Now I can’t find anything :(

TwilightVulpine,

Their engineers were crazy good to pull off this sort of stuff.

Another interesting fact concerning the ps1 chip, Sony used it as an Io controller so backwards compatibility was essentially built in to the design of the ps2

PlayStation 2 software is distributed on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. In addition, the console can play audio CDs and DVD movies, and is backwards compatible with original PlayStation games. This is accomplished through the inclusion of the original PlayStation’s CPU which also serves as the PS2’s I/O processor, clocked at 36.864 MHz in PS2 mode.
