That really goes for a lot of more modern FPS (post-Doom games, though in Doom the chain-gun made a decent semi-auto sniper - if you did a two round burst both shots were always accurate), you only want to "spray and pray" when a single/several fast targets are in your face and you have no other choice

I remember renting this game in the 90s, like you said, incredible atmosphere from a game of that era. In an interview (can't remember the source) a Probe directive said that in the past they were having lots of multiple games/ports being developed at once and in this game they learned from their mistakes, shifting all the studio efforts in order to make the best possible experiece for one game

I'm actually frankly surprised at the numerous bits on the video where Probe is referred to, quite matter-of-factly as if there was a general consensus about it, as a crappy developer. Honestly, both their original ip games for 8 bit computers, like Trantor and Savage, and also their works based on licences, like Out Run Europa, were widely loved and renowned amongst fans and critics alike. Even their work during the 90s, after their acquisition by Acclaim, was way more hit than miss, with many huge hits, both commercial and critic-wise, - T2, Alien3, Alien Trilogy, Die Hard Trilogy, Extreme G, to name a few - making up for the misses - which could be blamed, more often than not, on poor upper management and rushed development cycles more than a lack of talent.

However I could never put that game down and it was still my favorite, even managed to get a couple jump scares out of me. Wasn't till I started collecting for it recently that I was able to close that chapter (Action Replay, son!) . But I know exactly what you're talking about, this was on NTSC as well.

I also remember playing AVP back in 99 with said babysitter as well. Sadly though a few days later after we played it, he passed away in a motorcycle accident. I remember seeing his green motorcycle, the police and paramedics when I was in a bus full of kids heading off to a field trip.

Being a big fan of the Aliens movies, I was so excited about playing this one, and although I liked it in many ways, I preferred Aliens Vs Predator on the Atari Jaguar, simply because of the atmosphere of the game. The soundtrack on Alien trilogy simply takes the tension out of it, as opposed to the Atari game, where you only hear the humming of the power generators throughout the game. I also prefer the Atari version where you can roam freely on the entire base instead of this level to level design. I almost crapped my pants a thousand times while playing AvP on the Jaguar, whereas Alien Trilogy was more like a river cruise, where you don't really feel nervous about what's coming around the corner.

Holy shit, these games honestly look really cool. I've always loved the aesthetic of the early 3D graphics era of PC and console games. I think they look just as cool, if not cooler than modern games. I kind of see them as having a different artstyle, like Impressionist or Minimalist or something. They're much more interesting looking than hyper-realistic games.

Great sound design for the time, though. Graphics don't make up for bad gameplay, but modern games are absolutely better in just about every aspect, in addition to their graphics. This is just objectively true.

Full version of Duke 3D was not completed until May 1996. 2) I still miss Acclaim Entertainment, Inc.

I wonder if anyone made an enhanced version of this into a .wad to run in something like GZDOOM? Dual analogue aiming, improved resolution and lighting, improved enemy animations and frame rates, etc? That would be awesome!!

I didn't recognize this game at first until the side by side with the PS1 version. Realizing i have actually played this game on the PS1. I remember the gameplay being good enough. What i really liked was the atmosphere of the game. Play this in a dark room. Good stuff.

Looks like more fun than Fallout 76 which I am playing right now. (F76 isn't that bad, but it's just so slow. All the faffing about with inventory brings gameplay to a halt far too often. Like after almost every mission, I have to rearrange stuff in stash, sell or scrap weapons, compare weapons, upgrade, repair weapons and armour. Make food. Oh *expletives*, it just goes on and on.

I owned the Saturn version back in high school and played the living shit out of it. Didn’t play the PS1 version until a few years ago and was surprised how much the lighting improved things. Better atmosphere and the sections where you needed your shoulder lamp to see we’re very tense.

You mentioned the Saturn’s poor conversion of Doom. Saturn Doom was programmed by veteran programmer Jim Bagley. I attended a question and answer session with him presenting. He explained that he had Saturn Doom running brilliantly. My memory is hazy at this point but if I recall Jim was told by John Romero that he had to code the engine a specific way. Jim explained that he wouldn’t be able to get the performance that way but was told it was that or nothing. Totally bonkers.

Ive seen this game a few times and i really would love to play it. I was actually thinking of getting a saturn or seeing if my uncle still has his and would let me buy it just for this game. But you said its on pc as well, which i never knew. Now i can play it! This game is a good mix of doom and its own mild horror experience. Great formula for an alien game. And sounds like its a relatively long play session. Cool video! Good quality too, can see everything crystal clear.

I remember Turok being ripped apart for it's fog. Even today it's the first thing someone will say about that game. But games like Alien Trilogy and plenty of other FPS on PS1/SAT get a pass. Nobody mentions the pop-up or limited draw distance in these games. I wonder why the double standards. Not to mention how Turok features huge outdoor areas and fully 3D enemies, so it would be impossible for it having unlimited draw distance on the N64. But what;s Alien's excuse for this kind of pop-up?
@KryptKicker5
@KryptKicker5 3 жыл бұрын
It's precisely because Turok was outdoors that the fog became more of a sticking point. You expect something like Alien to be dark and foreboding so most people probably didn't think anything of it. Alien Resurrection is still probably the best looking shooter on the PS1.

@Imgema 3 жыл бұрын
Yeah but technically, rendering big, outdoor areas is far more demanding for the console, compared to indoor corridors. So maybe thematically it made more sense for Turok to not have fog and Alien Trilogy to have limited view, but technically it was the opposite. So i think it was unfair for Turok to be criticized so heavily for it. Besides, there wasn't a single fully 3D FPS game (that also had 3D enemies and models) with outdoor areas that didn't have some kind of pop-up. Ok maybe Quake 1 but the 3D models in Turok were far superior and way ahead anything at the time.

When you vs the queens you can use a pulse rifle with max ammo and it does enough damage consistently to push the queen back over and over and she never reaches you and you kill her before you run out of ammo.
