2014-05-27 17:13:37 +0000 UTCGotcha. And if we wanted to leave a suggestion for a Review, where would the best place for that be?

2014-05-27 16:18:39 +0000 UTCNo review plans, no. But I may do a thoughts video like I did with Thief
LGR
2014-05-27 15:55:28 +0000 UTCAre there any plans for a Review of The New Order any time soon?

2014-05-27 14:25:02 +0000 UTCHaha, nice! No anthrax on-board I assure you. Can't promise a lack of 90's DOS viruses though.
LGR
2014-05-25 22:13:29 +0000 UTCFrom what I gather, the creator of ECWolf is trying to add such a thing to the next version of that port!

2014-05-25 22:13:03 +0000 UTCif there was map hack for the original i would play this game alot more often. maybe i should look into that, hmm...
2014-05-25 22:04:00 +0000 UTCGreat review! And I also got my patreon supports disc a minute ago. Will open it carefully in case of anthrax :)

2014-05-22 09:17:27 +0000 UTCPlaying it now and yeah, it feels amazing. WASD + Y Axis disabled = Nazi killing fun

2014-05-22 06:46:27 +0000 UTCIt's pretty incredible that we can so easily kill off mecha-hitler while taking a dump nowadays.
LGR
2014-05-22 05:48:32 +0000 UTCYou're quite welcome! ECWolf is a lifesaver as far as making it more playable.
LGR
2014-05-22 05:47:36 +0000 UTCHappy to bring on the nostalgia.
LGR
2014-05-22 05:47:21 +0000 UTCGreat stuff. I definitely agree that Doom has aged much, much better even without mods. Even so, there are decent mobile ports and I'll occasionally kill some Nazis on the toilet at work. 8-year-old me would've been amazed.

2014-05-22 05:47:00 +0000 UTCDude, totally radical review! And that's really righteous of you to let me know about EC Wolf. Been playing it vanilla in DOSBox all these years cause I thought that was the only way to play it on PC... :P

2014-05-22 04:49:59 +0000 UTCBesides, if you want a more technical indepth review I highly recommend checking out Ancient DOS Games' review of Wolf3D which goes very much into detail about game mechanics.

2014-05-22 04:22:28 +0000 UTCAnother great trip down memory lane.

2014-05-21 23:02:38 +0000 UTCYes, there are a crapload of tidbits and interesting mechanics that I left out in the interest of brevity (and/or laziness) :)
LGR
2014-05-21 22:59:37 +0000 UTCTotally, as close to the old ones as possible while still updating it would be fine by me. Doom 3 was good for what it was, but it was a huge departure.
LGR
2014-05-21 22:59:01 +0000 UTCGreat episode as usual, but I have one little critique: You didn't seem to mention that the amount of damage that the weapons deal really depends on the distance between you and your target, and vice versa. If a guard shoots you from across the room, it only deals a bit of damage, but if he shoots you point blank, you'll die in a couple of shots.

2014-05-21 22:21:46 +0000 UTCI'll take a simple straight forward oldschool nonsense - or no nonsense (depending on how you look at it I guess) fps over some of the newer ones any day. Too many buttons man, give me a break! Although I must admit I'm not much for the mazelike level design of Wolf3D as you also mentioned, I rather thought games like Doom and Quake had some of the most engaging leveldesign. Granted, Doom had it's fair share of mazes as well. What I really want now, is for the upcoming Doom game to be as much like the original as possible - complete with the trademark catchy ominous music by Robert Prince. Quality work as usual, always a treat! /Christian
