Unreal Engine 1

It only looks that good because of the resolution you nig. Back then everybody played it on 800x600 computers so of course it looked shitty by today's standards.

The only thing I hate about early Unreal Engine games is how fucking square everything is, otherwise they're entirely serviceable by today's standards

My grandpa was a big computer geek. He had 4 in his house, and got me unreal tournament. I was a kid back then, so i kept asking them to play with me.

My grandma did, and she actually took a liking to the game. Until just a few years ago, she was actually in a clan and everything. She had clan practice days and clan vs clan drama and everything.

Also, Unreal (original) was god tier and still a metric by which i judge people's taste.

Soooo... why do we continue to use the steering wheel?

I mean, mechanically speaking, there's no reason to still have this kind of input.

And the wheel is objectively inferior and less precise compared to something like a joystick.

So why haven't we made the switch, at the very least in racing?

There is a pretty regular /v/(/vg/?) group that I see threads pop up for on the regular here. They have a steam group, and apparently play on the regular, but I don't know what it is off hand.

I just very recently got into this game.
Really sad that I hadn't tried it out earlier, I always assumed it was a bland Quake ripoff.
Honestly, I might like it better than Quake at this point.

Honestly, I think the opposite. A lot of the hard edges and wonky details get lost in the pixelation. Crysis looked a lot better when I couldn't make out the individual polygons on every branch at 50 yards. Another example: you may have thought this image was a photograph up until the point where you expanded it.

It still pisses me off that the Wii actually had a ton of games that had great art styles and visuals that was fucked because of the 480p maximum.

Brawl, No More Heroes, Super Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Sonic Colors, etc.
