A fan decomp of Perfect Dark just got a VR mod working. I've been lukewarm on N64 decomp projects, but actually playing GoldenEye's spiritual sequel in VR might change my mind. Does it change yours? #PerfectDark #N64 #VR #Decompilation #RetroGaming

CW: game design talk, video game gun violence (Perfect Dark and Doom)
there’s something that I love in old #shooters that seems to have been forgotten since then, and I would love to see it make a comeback: enemies that react substantially to being shot
in a shooter I ideally want an enemy to immediately “sell” the damage that they’ve taken - like how a wrestler would “sell” a punch by flinching and acting out pain. if they don’t do this it generally feels to me like my weapons are incredibly weak - like I’m just shooting red paintballs at enemies instead of actually hurting them. I want their reaction to be immediate, involve audio and animation changes, and I want it to have gameplay implications too. for example in Perfect Dark you can:
- shoot a gun out of an enemy’s hand (there’s a sound effect and they’re now disarmed)
- shoot an enemy in the leg (they make a pain noise, clutch their leg in pain, and begin limping)
- shoot an enemy in the arm (they clutch their arm in pain, make a pain noise, and have a harder time aiming)
- etc.
also in #PerfectDark, any body part that you shoot will immediately play a very simple procedural “animation” of it being blown back slightly, which helps to sell the impact of the bullet
but you don’t have to have a really elaborate bullet reaction system like that. good old #Doom does just three things:
- when you shoot an enemy, they instantly switch to a graphic of them grimacing in pain
- at the same instant, they play a pain noise, which is very satisfying because it gives you instant feedback that you’ve hit something with your shot
- and finally, they freeze in place, unable to even shoot, until their grimace animation is done
so Doom has visual and audio feedback that is instantaneous, plus it has gameplay implications (enemies are briefly stunned when you shoot them). and the mechanic of stunning enemies by shooting them actually deepens the gameplay by a lot (I could write a whole post about that, and about the other tactical elements involved in prioritizing targets in Doom. Doom has a staggering amount of depth for such a simple game. I genuinely think Doom might be the best #FPS ever made)
anyway, please bring this back! I’m so tired of shooting at enemies and having them act like being shot is nothing. it brings the whole feel of the game down by comparison

Perfect Dark to produkcja, którą wciąż warto poznać, ale robiąc to, należy mieć na uwadze, że dość mocno się zestarzała.

Vous vous rappelez les flingues de GoldenEye imprimé en 3D ? Et bien voilà le premier pour Perfect Dark :bave:
Même principe qu'avant : extraire le modèle 3D du Falcon 2 et ses dérivés et rebosser le tout pour que ce soit imprimable.

Gaming news sites reporting on how Perfect Dark was «almost saved» by another greedy company is laughable.
Big Corpo isn't some superhero entity that's into saving others. It's all about deals and profits, not free meals and cool parties.

My dream is to play #PerfectDark as an Action RPG.
- #MassEffect decisions
- #SplinterCell gameplayIt doesn't have to clone Goldeneye.
It doesn't have to be "Generic Videogame".It has to be fun to play and capture what the first game was all about: spionage and good writing. Add action-consecuence and you have it.

I'm totally behind #Destin on this one: You shouldn't trust #Xbox anymore.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSsNnKt3Jq4
Xbox is now #MicrosoftGaming. If the line goes down, Xbox gets the cuts. #PhilSpencer, #CraigDuncan and #SarahBond are not in charge.
Xbox leadership may say everything it's fine, but #SatyaNadella is the one who says when it's not.

Cognition Dissemination: Resistance to Xbox Acquisitions Wasn’t Strong Enough
Not that they could have been stopped, but more efforts to fight consolidation would have been nice.
