Low Quality at WHS
High Quality at WHS
Low Quality at QuakeUnity

HOT DIGGITY DAMN!!! Doom - Exclamation Doom - Thumbs Up! Doom - Love

That brought a tear to my eye. To finally see the Doom shotty as it was intended after all this time. Loving the Strogg grenades, too.

Thank you very much, that helped to ease the pain slightly.

Possibly.  I won't make any promises though, as we don't want to give too much away.  Doom - Thumbs Up!

Clearly, But seeing weapons in action rather than just staying frozen in place... THAT is just beautiful

Amazing job doing what you're doing with the mod. Personally, the screenshots were enough for me.. but this video makes the wait seem even easier.

One thing I did notice were the original sounds from the original games for most of the guns.. I take it those are placeholders..? Did add a bit of nostalgia to the video though. Slipgate - Smile


mmmm.. slippy's axe finally swinging with full force..

EDIT: I'm liking the new nails too. They seem a lot more true! Slipgate - Wink

You just totally made my day.  That was awsome!  I'm more excited about this than any game about to come out in retail.

The video is awesome and does show how much work has been put into it

however surely this shouldn't be the only thing your looking forward to

i for one am looking forward to the following

StarCraft II (gonna be 2008 i know but still)
Bioshock (It's looking ace and the demo is brilliant, plasmids are the way of the future  Slipgate - Thumbs up!)
CNC 3 Kane's Wrath (if EA can finally fix CNC 3 and add back the cyborgs and walkers with style i'll be dead happy)
NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer ( Shifter class finally back woo hoo)

plus others that i can't think of at the moment

Also, this is the Generations news forum, not the "retail games in general" news forum. :]

Very, very impressive!  Doom - Thumbs Up!
All animations seem spot on, especially the Doom and Quake2 shotguns. Great job!

the new promo looks amazing, especially the Quake2 models.. i can hardly wait for 1.0 Slipgate - Smile

however some of the Quake1 models look a little washed out and make use of excessive brown. here's something that might inspire you in a more faithful remake of the Quake1 weapon skins and such: reskinning work by Primevil @ quakeworld.nu. you can also see how they look in-game by downloading nQuake (a free Quake1 package - 85 MB) @ nquake.sourceforge.net

anyway.. i hope the release will be soon Slipgate - Laugh thanks for putting another great game on my waiting list Slipgate - Laugh

make use of excessive brown.

Uh... Quake 1 was almost completely brown.  You realize this do you not? Slipgate - Wink

Primeval's stuff... it looks fine for use as retextures in Quake 1, but you realize we're not using the same models from Quake, right?  You might check out the image gallery for a better look at the guns.  The promo video shows off action better than it does the quality of Tab's skin work.  Gallery is better for that.

LuGia:  I've been optimizing the network code as much as I can throughout Gen's development.  I did have bump the server framerate to 40 Hz for some things to work the way I wanted, but I did a lot of optimizing of event handling early on.  Some of Gen's weapons actually use less network code than the original Q3 guns, and I modified some Q3 weapons (like the lightning gun) to not generate excessive network traffic.  I plan on adding some additional optimizations later.  Unless you're on a 26.6 baud modem connection you should be able to play on any server from any part of the world - provided they don't have a maxping cap like that server in Germany currently does.

I modified some Q3 weapons (like the lightning gun)

I noticed the other day that Generations uses the original lightning effect for the Quake3 lightning gun, rather than the newer effect that comes with the later patches. If I remember correctly, the plasma gun and rocket launcher both received newer effects in that patch as well; the rocket's smoke was altered and the plasma balls "dripped" plasma as they flew. Anyway, what brought on that decision? I personally think that the newer effect looks a lot better and would be more in line with the Shaft's lightning even.

Anyway, the video looks great! You guys are sneaky though, not showing off Doom's double barrel or Earth's duel gatling guns. You know we want to see those the most! Slipgate - Tongue
