@Duende@snouts.online Is this some kind of corruption thing?

s/release/emulator

@fraggle@octodon.social I meant to type emulator, not release

Doom 64 rerelease but they use an older version of the 1964 n64 release and it sucks

i will get to 80 tonight

(1 full hour later I still haven't gotten through a third of 77)

@fraggle@octodon.social my grazings with the games industry suggests to me this happened because the vast majority of the new talent flowing in is mobile-centric and trained on Unity, and the product leadership that seeps in comes from the mobile market too.

so a producer from that space might think "yeah this seems fine, it'll be easy because everyone we hired has experience in unity"

this is of course very silly. there are dozens of people they could have hired with far more expertise on doom specifically.

@fraggle@octodon.social it is very frustrating, especially when far better jobs have been done on it commericially. it seems bizarre that nerve took this approach and that Bethesda and id seem okay with it.

@fraggle@octodon.social i mean fair enough, lol

@fraggle@octodon.social this isn't accurate -- they ported the original engine to a form usable within Unity, and used Unity as the vehicle to drive each of the ports they released. it is the original game: just running inside Unity.

LET'S GO KHOLUSIA

it is an absolute shame that bethesda/zenimax are getting the profits from id software's seminal works in this medium.

literally they didn't have to put the bethnet shit in these ports and nobody would have cared about it using unity

hey but apparently the doom 3 bfg port by panic button is pretty good

upset about doom ports

what if i just burned away this weekend by repeatedly entering the leveling roulette as whm until i hit level 76 would that be fucked up or what

gotta admit I'm pretty jelly of snouts' ffxiv emoji
