1993 game engine omg!

[LabR@t]

Using the doom engine from 1993!

Selaco will also sport voxel-powered 3D details, destructible environments, objects that use physics, advanced lighting, and fully voiced characters. One of these is The Juggernaut, a large enemy that will surprise players and break through walls, almost like a sci-fi version of Resident Evil 2’s Mr. X. And remember, all of this is being done using a source port of a game released back in 1993

A bit like Hedon Bloodrite using GZDoom

damn that's cool

It is actually impressive what can be pushed out of some of those older engines with a little modern makeover and the artists having to be inventive - for example the new Quake 1 Dimension of the Machine episode, Bridgeburner's Bastion of Chaos for Doom II or Danlex's Lullaby for Doom, etc.

 

[Spleen Sauce]

Fair play, that looks awesome.

 

[Kautya]

Have to say looks good given the age of the engine. And seems quite fluid.

 

[arc@css]

Looks excellent, very impressive.

 

[cheesyboy]

Love the look of this!

Mostly, I'm just posting here so I can insert some key words that'll help me find this thread when I inevitably remember seeing it but forget what it is called

Modern Doom engine

 

[Alan McFall]

That's one crazy mix of textures and sprites.

 

[LabR@t]

i prefer this look to the hyper-realistic look some games go for.

 

[Guest2]

Looks fantastic. Only 234 years to wait

I wonder what the system requirements are though, doubt it will run well on a 486.

Good point! Engine from DOS era, but requires 8GB RAM, 4Ghz CPU and a 3080 to run.

I notice this with a lot of Win10 remakes of DOS / Win9X games

Anyone playing this? DF are big fans and as a boomer shooter having played a few others in recent months, is right up my street. £18 on Steam, so no reason not to I guess.

 

[mrk]

Alright so having a quick play before continuing later this eve but the GFX settings are VAST, also Ultra preset isn't actually fully ultra because...

Hah, I laugh in the face of such warnings:

 

[Noxia]

Fancy being able to run such a good looking mobile game with a 4090 on crazy settings.

 

[mrk]

The text does say "ANY" computer, which would include a 4090. There does seem to be a few fps drops to the 80s and 60s for the first few frames of massive explosions, then it goes back up to the hundreds. All destriction and thrown particles remain where you left them even after coming back to an older area, so this is probably why it's pretty demanding.

not running on 1993 hardware though

 

[Raumarik]

Oddly doesn't look as smooth as it should IMHO. Sure we had fewer frames to animate but the games would generally feel smooth regardless especially with a 3DFX card etc.

Looks great regardless

 

[D-Ranged]

Wow, that does look really cool!
