Ego wouldn't let them do that, I just don't think Xaser knows as much about Heretic's maps as he likes to think he does, some of them just flow worse or put shit in front of monster emplacement windows so it's annoying to try to even hit them.

>>12185117
Yeah, the ego leaps right out of the game and is what really bugs me about it. If they did this with Doom and said "we know better than the original map designers" people would rightfully shit on them, but because it is Heretic, many are just ok with it or even worse "it sucked anyway". Ridiculous.
Maybe I'll forgive them, or at least overlook it, if they can get the rights to Portal of Praevus.
Though I didn't talk about the Hexen 1 release, which is basically "Brutal Hexen" masquerading as the real game.

>>12184572
There is no market for it. Even in the early 00's it would take an entire year for a middle class chinama to save up to afford a Famiclone.
There was no one to buy a brand release at retail price.

Bootlegs and romhacks cost less to produce and less to buy.

Yeah the weapon hit or miss quality is more 50:50.
Elec Beam is a statistical outlier as the most overpowered weapon in the entire franchise and should not be counted in the average quality

>the most overpowered weapon in the entire franchise
Metal Blade is, followed by regular ass Charge Shot.
Thunder Beam is hard to spam and slows the game, so I usually default to Rolling Cutter or Fire Storm. And then there is Ice Slasher freezing shit right and left.

>Try to keep things /vr/ related: Focus should be on 6th Gen Consoles and older. Slight off topic is fine so long as it's related to CRTs, such as later 16:9 models, HD models, etc. Systems with backwards compatibility are also safe territory, as are re-releases on newer hardware. PC CRTs are also welcome and appreciated.
>Produce OC! Bust out your camera and take photos of your CRTs displaying all sorts of games, featuring all sorts of tubes, using all sorts of signals. Getting good shots can be hard, but if you take enough, at least a few will turn out alright.

Limited discussion of video processing and scaling devices is alright, but remember to keep the focus on CRTs and CRT accessories.

Be sure to get a SuperFamicom/US Super Nintendo wired RGB cable and not a PAL SNES one since they are not wired the same.

I'm getting the universal nintendo cable by retrogamingcables, works with both pal and ntsc.
It's cheaper than getting cables for the snes, sfc, gamecube... and possibly n64 if I ever mod it for rgb.

This was the best one, right?

Not gonna lie, these ports were surprisingly good. Like, really damn fucking good. They fit both Warcraft II campaigns with all the cutscenes on a single CD.
Also missing KKnD Krossfire, arguably the best control scheme ever seen in console RTS games.
Also Carmageddon, Transport Tycoon and Z (all EU only), Myst, Dune 2000, and more Doom and GTA and Red Alert and Sim games.

>>12185053
I agree that controls in Q2 were not that good (my brother could play it well but only on DS and only because he was left-handed), but the removed levels did this game a favor, original PC campaign is a slog with all the boring faceless warehouses.
What's wrong with Total Meltdown? It even got a bonus episode.

Here's the deal with the gamecube. Was the console "just okay?" Sure. It was JUST OKAY.

Reminder there should be no visible black gaps between the scanlines. If there are, it's time to tune up your set, because that looks retarded and nobody had their CRT set up like that in the old days.

I might be mistaken as it is too technical for my understanding but I always thought the black lines was part of the "240p" trick to have more video information on fit within a small bandwidth, as the black lines themselves are the scanline. I remember an old EGM article which showed off how much sharper the video game image could be with Batman on the Genesis displaying the "Don't Walk" signs clearly, yet still having the scanlines. I am still on the lookout for help in properly calibrating my old CRT, but most information is about modern displays, so I'm just eyeballing what looks nice so far for the game until I get assistance for proper colors on the screen.
