Hey /V/ what are some good 2.5D 90s fps'?
So far i've came across the following:
Blood
Powerslave - Exhumed
Duke Nukem 3D - DKN64 - Total Meltdown
Doom 1 - 2 - Ultimate - Final
Eradicated (has both third and first person)
The Terminator - Skynet - Future shock
System shock (which is more so a adventure RPG)
Star Wars Dark Forces
Shadow Warrior
Have you tried DOOM clones like Heretic/Hexen, Strife and Chex Quest?

>>336132010
Ah shit,yeah i love hexen-herectic great games,chex quest i have not,strife was okay,but honestly felt held back by the ID tech 1 engine,impressive but flawed to some extent.
>>336132073
Redneck rampage was alright for what it was,not the best BUILD engine game,but it was decent.
>>336131859
Heretic and Hexen
>>336132280
See >>336132280
Thanks for contributing though,im kind of hoping the brutal hexen - heretic mod gets completed and isn't too over the top with it's weapon set like brutal doom was.
>>336132413
RIP,i meant see >>336132272
>>336132413
Not liking Brutal Hexen so far because it's making all the weapons generic, like both the Arc of Death and Blooodscourge are now simple rocket launchers. It also removes the Fighter's fists, takes away the magic enchant on Timon's Axe, and gives him the Ethereal Crossbow for no reason.
>>336132823
I kind of agree actually.
>>336131859
For anyone curious of what eradicator is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12oXmwqbUjk
its pretty fucking cool game,shame there isn't a source port yet,also skip to 1:42 for gameplay :P
>>336133438
Is that a cat girl? holy shit.
>>336133628
Yup and before you ask,no that is not a build engine game,well at least it's believed to not be one,could be but nobody is sure,more then likely it's based off one of ken silvermens earlier engines that he used to showoff.
Also new game.
Alien trilogy
While some of the spirites are a bit meh looking (see xenomorph drones) the environments are impressive and the music is amazing
(following screenshot was taken with mednafen's PSX core using NTSC composite filter)
>>336134108
Whoops forgot link to video.

what about rise of the triad?

This.

>>336134263
Great game for what it was,the large open environments and the fluids sprites were really stunning at times in this game,the music was alright,the story was garbage though,kind of a challenging game at times.
Thanks anon.
>>336134381
I have,it was pretty fun for it was,thanks anon.
>>336134473
You should really tried the playstation version of DOOM,the difficultly curve even on easy is a fucking bitch,alot more enemies on screen the DOS - windows versions,also the music and new affects like the colored like lighting almost make it the perfect version of DOOM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atdyHvLhJXo&list=PL8Ze5WK7zCVWudTwLZj_u06RqFcCSrSHC
>>336133438
Eradicator was pretty ahead of his time.
What was that one multiplayer game that had you pick characters like Doomguy and other MCs like the ones from Hexen etc and co-op against hundreds of enemies along with bosses?
>>336135159
Yup,shame there isn't a source port of it or alien trilogy,yeah you can play them in dosbox or an emulator but meh
>>336135292
Samsara i think
>>336131859
I'm afraid you already played all the good stuff, OP.
There's Witchaven I & II if you liked Heretic and Hexen. NAM was pretty good as well. Other than that there's only shovelware like Corridor 7 left.
>>336131859
Strife
>ctrl+f marathon
marathon
Ken's Labyrinth was the best ofc.
Redneck Rampage was okay. Nowhere near as good as Blood or Douk. Great soundtrack though.
>>336135540
>Corridor 7
HNNGGG that shit was amazing,the level of gore in that game was crazy,also it at times was better then wolfenstein 3D
>>336135579
See >>336132272
>>336135712
Eh it's so meh.
>>336135732
For what it was,it was pretty good.
I remember Chasm - The Rift, but that may be more into Quake era.
>>336136125
Chasm looks god damn stunning,even more impressive then quake 1 and 2 to some extent and god damnit,yes the game WAS 3D,it was just using software rendering (nearest neighboring-mipmapping)
I really liked the only proper Dark Forces, have yet to play Powerslave, but am interested in it, and PO'ed is a third game for this sentence. I bet that one sucks.
>>336136258
PO'ed sound very familiar? Link?
Also here is a video of chasm
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCjVx1iPOBg again truly stunning
>>336132280
Is this game close to what Romero wanted Quake to be?
I played some FPS that was on a PC Gamer demo disc when I was real young, it was full 3D like Quake, had cutscenes with talking heads, and I remember most of the enemies in the demo were these scorpion looking things that had stegosaurus spikes where their stingers should be that they swung at you. anyone know the name of it?
>>336131859
Just get some doom .wads lad. Hellbound is an excelent choice.
>>336136740
That was probably chasm see >>>>336136520
>>336136125
You can check out the Catacomb 3-D series if you're super nostalgic.
You should totally try Legend of the seven paladins. But be warned it's the hardest of all 2.5d shooters.
>>336136683
Kind of, especially since Romero worked on the Heretic/Hexen series.
>>336131859
>2.5D FPS
Ok, I'll bite. What's a 2D FPS if you're refusing to consider Doom/Build 2D?
>>336136520
Here's PO'ed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5I1eFoU42us
For an extra dose of ass, here's H.U.R.L., also known as Slob Zone 3D (video has no audio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2umEsAtXzok
>>336136901
that is it, thanks. looks a shit ton better than I remember it, ill have to find a copy.
>>336134173
why do people insist on ruining text with filters
>>336136980
Being a prodocuer doesnt really mean he worked on it.
H.U.R.L. was a really fun FPS, you essentially go around neighborhood destroying dirt and everything that spawns it.
>>336131859
>System shock (which is more so a adventure RPG)
there you have it OP, it does not get much better than that.
I wonder how many obscure Amiga/Atari FPS-es existed that nobody heared of. Or forgotten Doom clones for DOS like Operation Body Count and such.
>>336136918
Yeah i have,shame no source port :(
>>336136964
Will definitely check that out looks interesting,thank you for contributing anon :)
>>336137063
But that's the ID TECH 1 and BUILD weren't 2D,they were techinacally 2.5 in the sense the enemies,assets were 2D but the levels were pseudo 3D
>>336137149
OH!!! okay yeah that game was amazing,is there a source port?
>>336137171
You're very welcome anon
>>336137183
Explain? the game is running with no filters,It's clearly using nearest neighboring - software rendering.
>>336137331
Looks really familiar,will check it out,thank you.
>>336137452
Great game,fairly gory and "realistic" for when it came out lol
>>336137536
>But that's the ID TECH 1 and BUILD weren't 2D,they were techinacally 2.5 in the sense the enemies,assets were 2D but the levels were pseudo 3D
Well, technically they're 2D because there's no Z-axis ever in Doom (not sure about Build)
But that's besides the point. What I'm asking is what's a 2D FPS? You calling these 2.5D makes me think you consider something else 2D, and you wanted to to differentiate them.
Or am I wrong?
Shadow warrior counts?
>>336137693
Not him but '2.5D fps' is pretty much the official unofficial term for s[rite based FPS'.
>>336131859
How can you forget Wolfenstein?
>>336137331
Shit, I haven't played this in ages.
>>336131859
Why is Blood's HUD such a disgusting cluttered mess?
>>336131859
William Shatner's Tekwar
If you can stomach it.
>>336131859
Blake Stone
>>336138051
Because you press plus key on the keyboard and it gets better.
>>336136254
stunning?It looks like shit dude/
>>336131859
Which FPS has the best sprites?
>>336137693
>>336137693
>Well, technically they're 2D because there's no Z-axis ever in Doom (not sure about Build)
That's incorrect for build,it did have a Z-Axis,again it they were both early attempts at pseudo 3D.
>>336137762
But of course it was 2.5D
>>336137935
My bad,i of course have played it,just forgot to put it on the list.
>>336138082
Yup pretty good game.
>>336138129
Loved it,there was project to port into Zdoom,didn't get finished sadly :(
>>336138210
Compared to the quake games and maybe even half life 1 it looked amazing.
also new game gents,another terminator game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0X44bUo8XQ awesome game,bit flawed sadly.
:)
>>336138306
Hexen has the best gib sprites.
>>336138318
Like I said, "not sure about Build"
Doesnt suprirse me it's actually 3D though, since Shadow Warrior had some polygon objects
>>336138306
Oh yeah doom 64 was pretty good for what it was,there was a really good port of it on PC,not absolution 64,the other one.
>>336138410
No,Shadow warrior used layered sprites at an angle for the cars,now it and blood did both use voxels for some shit,which was impressive.
>>336138559
>the other one
Doom 64 EX.That guy is working on Blood EX currently on the side and Turok 2 commercially.
>crtl + F Outlaws
>0 results
Niggers, please.
>>336136683
>>336136980
Didn't Romero want a really advanced melee system (and probably leveling similar to Daikatana)? Heretic basically has just reskinned Doom weapons.
>>336138728
that man is a goddamned hero
>>336138832
They're not talking about Heretic.
>>336131859
Hexen and sin.
>>336138728
Yup,i hope this time for turok 2 they allow the use of nearest neighboring for the texturing,sadly i couldn't figure out a way to enable for it the first turok port.
>>336138814
My bad forgot about it,played,very good game.
>>336139094
Sin was pretty decent,blood 2 was better :P
>>336138728
He also had a build of Powerslave EX, but pulled it, citing his job.
>tfw that Dark Forces quasi-source port hasn't been touched in years
>>336139628
Yup
>tfw there will never be ports of chasm,alien trilogy or proper dark forces 1 - 2
>mfw never ever
>>336139424
>blood 2 was better
SiN wasn't that bad.
>>336138306
While Hexen and Doom 64 probably have some of the best sprite work, I still can't believe how well Dark Forces has aged. Especially compared to its sequel Jedi Knight.
>>336140189
>surprised a sprite based game holds up better than early 3D
>>336139940
https://mega.nz/#!qMFhQSqa
https://mega.nz/#!TBMWjZhT
dont be a cuck. play this superior game instead
>>336140189
I would rather play Doom 64 with the old sprites.
The SSG needs a reload animation.
>>336140189
doom 64 is really not that good looking. last rites, blood, and powerslave had better sprite work.
>>336140095
I liked the intro of the game and how little choices impacted the game's path to enemy placement and level design. But fighting mutants was shit.
>There will never be good source ports of Blood and Redneck Rampage so you can play them in something that isn't DosBox
>>336140256
It's not necessarily the 3d models but rather the environments in general. Jedi Knight's level design is kinda bland and empty as opposed to Dark Forces' tight imperial corridors and facilities.
>>336138814
The soundtrack for that is stellar. Also the bounty hunter side missions were great.

I have powerslave EX,It's amazing,thanks though.
>>336141798
Powerslave is a fantastic game, but some of the levels like Amun Mines are just totally unfun thanks to insta-kill death floors that are kinda hard to not accidentally step on. Also not being able to manually save fucking kills it at points.
>>336131859
Just finished duke nukem 3d nuclear winter, it's pure trash.
>>336142471
It's the weakest of the expansions. The DC one is the best.
>>336142471
What makes it so bad?
>>336142448
Pretty sure the EX version corrected the auto-manual save shit didn't it?
>>336142554
"One of the best" is easy when there's 2 good and 1 bad. Still, it is good but Caribbean is the best.
>>336142558
Horrid level design, lazy level design (first two levels are Red Light District and Hollywood Holocaust backwards), bad music, and all new features/enemies are look like shit and are poorly thought out.
>>336142554
>>336142792
I misread that actually but the second part of my statement still applies.
>>336142558
Very short(it's a good thing in this case though), horrible and annoying new enemies, bad level design, gimmicky final boss.

They had it on those big VR machines back in the 90's
Is there a source port for Shadow Warrior or is the steam version playable?
>>336138814
Do I need a source port to play this?
>>336144862
Shadow Warrior Redux is the source port.
As for Outlaws: >>>/t/657337
>>336145126
Thanks m8
>>336140262
Does it work well?
Does that mean my THinkpad can't play Exhumed EX?
Its pretty cool to find out that the rail gun from Shadow Warrior was based on the rail gun from the movie "Eraser"
>>336146041
You might miss some runtime components. Try installing DX9 from the web installer and see if you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005-2015 redistributables on your machine (don't know which ones are required for Exhumed EX.)
>>336146252
>Time to get erased!

Wasn't that shit took down?
