it has its pros and cons. Art style was genius though. Even during cutscenes and still the characters retain a low poly and hardly textured or untextured look. As a result, gameplay and story mesh exceptionally well

You ever notice that convoy and Everett kinda look alike ?

But yah I saw a let's play of the game and it blew me away, sure it's like you said about the lack of texturing and polygons but it's the gameplay that matters right ?
It was a shame that they didn't port this to consoles instead of just being PC only ( i assume that the processing power of the consoles vs pc is different so correct me if I'm wrong )
Although we did get vigilante 8 which wasn't bad & both games had a good sound track.
I have to admit I was excited when I heard they were doing a re release of vigilante 8 but that turned to disappointment when I learned that it was 360 only .
Anyways enough of my griping, the game is on my list to play.

if you find/have webms of NFS 3 or 4, the cars in these games have a ridiculously high suspension. They look like monster trucks with really small wheels

Anyone played driver ?
The pc version was a step up from the PlayStation version.
>>
>>3315516
sure, but in between were at least two NASCAR and two indycar games. Yet Indy 500 and GPL are the top of the top. It's not just who made them, but what they are. It does give me happy thoughts though to think of GPL as a really souped up Indy 500

>>
>>3315574
No I'm not gonna report anything cause someone made an error in judgment and we all lost our cool so it's kinda be a waste of time. Anyways there's not really anything to report anyways no rules were broken.

Anyways moving on I also believe they had a pc release of resident evil 3.

fair enough. Thanks for what you could contribute

>blame keyboard controls
will do. Though you should give wrappers a chance. Something has to work. Also kb+m not an option? I think I used a Sidewinder 3D Pro back then, but it's been a while

Aw yiss . Muh cozy litel sub

Fuck that last mission though, holy shit. And then if you cheated even once you don't get to see the ending cinematic.

was quite a revelation when I realized that ocean they're in is literally a dirty pond
>>
>>3315789

I always figured they were modern day descendants of like, elves? Fairies? Who developed underwater tech to hide from humans
>>
>>3315795
have you looked at the objects you're picking up? The sub is barely 3 inches long, the whole ocean can't be more than a couple yards in diameter.
>>
>>3315802

Yeah like I said, they're a race of tiny little humanoids who I assume are either descended from fairies or they're a race of tiny ayy lmaos that happen to look very human like

But I prefer the fairies/elves theory because I like the idea that they would develop their own technology at the same pace we did, but use it to hide where we would never think to look
>>
>>3315809
fair enough

Anyway, there's one thing the game taught me that I still follow: I make sure I throw all my trash in nearby lakes. Someone's gonna make a killing with it. I'm social and supportive like that.

Haha! You know there's a sequel though right? Pic related. More combat focused but still has a lot of the same features as the first one
>>
>>3315821
if you enjoy sub combat, take a look at Archimedean Dynasty and the sequel-ish Aquanox series.
>>
>>3315828

Oh way ahead of you bro, I have them all. Btw in Subnautica I named my first colony Touka Reef
>>
>>3315821
I didn't know. At a quick glance it doesn't look much like a sequel either. Same theme and gameplay, but entirely different setting? Gonna take a closer look regardless, thank you.
>>
>>3315836

The plot is that the tiny people have fled Earth to an alien world with no humans. But it's volcanically unstable. So they must gradually gather resources needed to build a new starship and find a new home.

There are live action cutscenes now, it's really weird. Otherwise plays the same, you still collect thorium, there's a day/night cycle, the fish are still huge compared to you, etc.
>>
>>3315834
not /vr/-retro, but is it reasonably feasible to run AD, Aquanox 1 and 2 nowadays? I got the last two long after release, and it took even longer until I had a GPU to play them. Unfortunately now I don't have these old computers any longer. They seem to be from that unfortunate period, that's too old to play directly, and too "new" to emulate/vm
>>
>>3315842

the Aquanox games still run fine and can be had on Steam for cheap. Dunno about AD. Maybe an unpopular opinion but imo Aquanox 2 was the better of the 2 titles in that series. It's tiresomely grimdark but it brings back a lot of gameplay features from AD that were left out of the first Aquanox.
