>this motherfucking game came out 20 fucking years ago and still has pretty impressive lighting, shadows, physics, visual effects and graphics together with detailed enviroments and really cool gameplay
>despite all these GRAPHIX and physics you can run the game at constant triple digit fps maxed out natively
And niggers will tell me gaming hasn't become much worse
>muh rose tinted glasses
Played this game for the first time a few years ago and playing it now as well. It rocks.

"It's just nostalgia bro" is a shill tactic, normalfags have been gaslit to adapt it.
Old games ARE factually bettter than most modern ones.

>>724772862 (OP)
It looked pretty slick. Shame about the gameplay.

>>724772862 (OP)
It helps when every location is the same grey box with no features, allows you to dedicated development time to all the other stuff you mentioned.

*yawn*
Old good new bad. In 5 years you will be saying how kino a 2020 game is. Boring
Didn't see any of you faggot back then. Bioshock was too busy being trashed for being a casual, consolified babbys first system shock
Oh but NOW it's kino? Go off lol

>>724773391
Bioshock doesn't have amazing gameplay but the devs put a lot of effort into the visuals and atmosphere, the intro alone is pretty iconic
Meanwhile modern games are corporate, bland and low effort.

>>724773391
I always said it's kino, I'm 38 and I've played the previous shock games before playing BS.
Another shill tactic, moving goalposts and trying to attack the messenger.

FEAR is a pretty good example of the sum being greater than its parts.
The incoherence, lack of coordination and office politics in modern gamedev just ensure that the final product is less than the sum of its parts.
The kind of coherent planning across multiple disciplines needed to make people think that the AI in FEAR is good is just out of reach of even the same franchise just a few years later.

>>724772862 (OP)
Yeah, F.E.A.R is fantastic. Sneaking through dimly lit offices where replica soldiers or paranormal fuckery could be behind every corner was extremely tense. The lighting also manages to hide any imperfections in terms of texture quality, so the game still looks fantastic.

>>724772862 (OP)
Agreed. Too bad the level design was very weak (90% corridors)
>>724773391
Bioshock was always shit.

OH SHIT

>>724773887
is webm related Kung Fu mod or something else

>>724774259
how tf do you program something like that?

>>724776031
Yeah it's the kung fu mod

Seething shill

>>724776191
thanks, it's been a while so I ought to go replay both games with mods

>>724772862 (OP)
It's funny that FEAR is remembered for it's gameplay and ai, then it's downward spiral with 2 being only remembered for pc rape scene and 3 is straight up forgotten.

OH SHIT

>>724776298
I recommend this for 2
https://www.moddb.com/games/max-payne-2/addons/payned-action-v141
it's like vanilla plus with some changes to bullet time and effects. You need to disable pixel shader skins in the menu for it though.

>>724776261
still baffled that nobody made a VR remake of Arx

>>724772862 (OP)
Why can't I buy it on any online store tho.
I only played 2 and 3 because of that.

>>724776889
The engine is custom and ancient, porting it to something modern it a monumental task some people tried and got bored with.

>>724776087
Store variable of amount of liquid in barrel, calculate 1 - (height of shot on barrel/total height of barrel)
When amount of liquid in barrel is within 2% of height of shot on barrel change to thin liquid spray animation, when liquid in barrel is below height of shot cease liquid spray animation

>>724776959
>Why can't I buy it on any online store tho.
GOG.
It's even in their games preservation program.

The game isn't scary, at all. F.E.A.R 2 was better.

F.E.A.R 2 is kinda epic because the entire plot of the game is some hot grudge ghost woman with big tits is horny over you and stalks you and it ends with you getting raped and knocking her up.

>>724777137
Then explain why I got stiff every time Alma was on screen, huh?

>>724777193
Chad tales

>>724777137
F2 has way worse gameplay, huns, graphics, AI, level design, and story.

>>724777997
Counterpoint, F2 have rape scene.

>>724777997
yeah but its scarier

I really really wish this was a F.E.A.R. thread

>graphics
they are fairly dated, but what sets FEAR apart, actually, is the enemy ai and how killing them interacts with the environment. The way they scurry around makes you actively switch positions instead of sitting in corner, and it adds to overall environmental decals when the fights are all over the place instead of just being these static objects

modern games are made with female and gay consumers in mind so they feel babyish

>>724773138
Bioshock is pretty but I feel like everything is made out of plastic or something
is it cause of unreal engine?

>>724779291
yeah but unreal engine wasn't shit back then. The graphics werent that much different than other titles at the time and UE3 actually was insanely optimized so any shitbox could play games made on it. Funny how it became the least optimized engine on the market now all because how much it demands in order not to look plastic.

>>724772862 (OP)
It really does rock and the current industry is a fucking joke, cheers anon and have fun with the replay.

>>724772862 (OP)
1/4 of the game consists of being forced to slowly walk through a hallway while some set piece unfolds, the other 1/4 you're crawling through a vent or underneath a grate which is just meant to show of the graphics/lighting engine, 1/4 is you walking around listening to some faggot talk to you in your earpiece, and only the final 1/4 is actual gameplay which consists of decent, but overrated, shooting.
This garbage was a precursor to the cinematic set piece slop that ended up plaguing the 7th gen.

>>724772862 (OP)
spooky detroit was a massive letdown thoughever

its a shame indie devs only know how to superficially copy the games they love.

>>724779732
>a precursor to the cinematic set piece slop

wat? it came out a year after half life 2.

>>724772862 (OP)
Still the best FPS campaign ever. After that whole period of games like HL2, Far Cry, Butcher Bay that were sort of piled with gimmicks, it was refreshing to play a zero BS shooting game with consistently excellent encounter design, and i don't think any game has ever matched the raw feeling of brutality & carnage. I don't usually care for excessive violence in games but FEAR turns it into an art.

>>724779732
Actually yeah the scary sections were lame but you're way exaggerating how much of the game that was, lol

>>724772862 (OP)
It doesn't have any of that. It's ugly and plays like shit
>Dude a nother boxy angular square room! A sewer!

>>724781689
>play it like a retard
>wooow this is boring

>>724781689
actual game with detailed environments for reference

>>724781689
I fail to understand how gameplay of someone playing literally the first level killing basic grunts is supposed to make the entire game look bad. This is like when a Calysto Protocol (remember that?) shill tried to make Dead Space look bd with a video of someone killing like the first necro you fight in the game by shooting off its leg. Or when fags want to make DMC look shit by showing someone juggling a single, isolated, low tier enemy you face in a first level.

>>724781943
It never changes from beginning to end. Those basic grunts are the only enemy in the whole game. That's literally the whole game.

>>724781689
I play fps like that.

>>724781851
He didn't take any damage but you're getting shot. You're the retard and this gameplay is forced cringe.

I used to think the last expansion is total shit but I think its grown on me a bit.

yes it looks like shit, and the lighting is ass but idk I guess after multiple playthroughs I can almost speed run it

>>724782123
Because he's playing on easy

>>724782194
It just looks like that because it's FEAR

>>724773391
But we aren't even saying 2015 games are good now. The limit for good looking games that don't run like shit is about 2014 at the latest.

>>724776438
>>724776298
I played Max Payne 3 for the first time this year, first game in the series I played. Absolute cinema. Remember when "movie game" meant you were playing a dope action movie not "you're literally watching a movie for most of the game".

I actually think the retards at Sony heard the praise for Uncharted and it's "movie" quality and actually thought we wanted actual fucking "press X to start the cinematic" type shit. It was all a simple misunderstanding!

>>724773391
>/v/ was harshly disapppointed by Infinite for no reason at all

>>724782058
>literally failed at the first level
No wonder you hate it.

FEAR 1 had better gunplay but FEAR 2 was actually scary

>>724781851

Do you even play games?

No, lol
