“In addition, the PS3 classic Red Dead Redemption will be coming to PlayStation Now soon. Relive the epic story of former outlaw John Marston as he hunts down the gang members he once called friends through the harsh and punishing landscape of America’s dying West.”
Nice!
When it’s on real PC, I’ll pick it up. ;D

I’m thoroughly enjoying BF1, anyone else?
I installed it last night but haven’t checked it out yet. I really enjoyed the beta though!

I just got a YPbPr component cable from HD Retrovision for my Sega Mega Drive as a birthday gift!
(This is their webzone.)
It’s fantastic. Looks wonderful on my 27" CRT, and it’s miles better than composite and RF/coax. It really helps bring that BLAST PROCESSING to life.

THE SUN RACES THROUGH A BLUE SKY FILLED WITH WHITE CLOUDS.
THE WAYS OF HIS HEART ARE MUCH LIKE THE SUN. SONIC RUNS AND RESTS; THE SUN RISES AND SETS.
DON’T GIVE UP ON THE SUN. DON’T MAKE THE SUN LAUGH AT YOU.
For a moment I was thinking: “Why would they put yttrium, lead and praseodymium in a cable?”
Ceci n’est pas une signature.
Haha nice.

Just played some Ultimate Doom with the Brutal Doom mod.
It’s amazing how a 23 year old game still holds up well with only minor graphics and control updates.
I feel like there’s a very big tonal difference between Episode 1: Knee-deep in the Dead and Episode 2: The Shores of Hell.
I usually wouldn’t use the term ‘lighthearted’ to describe DOOM, but compared to the dark and foreboding atmosphere of Episode 2, Episode 1 feels almost ‘lighthearted’. I think this tonal difference is reflected in the soundtrack, too. We have the classic At Doom’s Gate, a very energetic theme ripped straight from Metallica’s No Remorse, and it makes the perfect backdrop for high-action demon killing. Sinister is quite the opposite, it’s suspenseful, subdued, and coupled with the visuals of it’s respective level; can make you thoroughly uncomfortable.
Speaking of DOOM the new one is fucking amazing. The only real problem I have with the game is that I became a nigh unstoppable God of Death even by the time I went to Hell for the first time. Hopefully the more difficult options give me a thorough beating before I return the favor.
On the topic of old school FPS, I recently found out about this indie game called Dusk. A game coming out next year inspired by 90s shooters like Half Life, Quake etc and is showing quite a bit of potential, looks like I finally have something to be excited for in 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN1N05WmiqU

Finally finished DOOM 1. Very good game, a true classic that still holds up today. I was glad to see that Episode 3 opened up with a track more reminiscent of the first Episode. E3M1/Untitled is an amazing track, and the metal cover used in Brutal Doom is amazing as well.
On to DOOM 2.
I pretty much agree with your thoughts on DOOM 2016, Haseo. I’m just disappointed in the lack of mod support. The modding scene is probably the best thing about the original DOOM. I’m also not too sure about how I feel about DOOM 2016’s soundtrack. The industrial music style is nice, and it fits DOOM 2016 well, but it’s very subdued. Occasionally I’ll find myself listening to the original DOOM’s soundtrack in the background.
So that Reaper/Leviathan shaped thing in the new Cinematic trailer…I don’t like the idea of Reapers being in the new ME game but hopefully they’re just being mentioned.
EDIT:
@Jeebus
I mean the game just came out and it even took Skyrim and GTA V to get rolling out of the gate. Hell, GTA V’s modding community is still not all that.
GTA’s modding community is sad mostly because Rockstar is so tight assed about mods. I mean, I guess it makes sense from an online standpoint, but they will drop the hammer on you if you so much as slip and they see it.

I actually used SweetFX during the early days of the GTA V PC port and luckily wasn’t banned. Them being assholes about MP modding shouldn’t affect the SP mods so long as they aren’t (somehow) intertwined. But then again I’m no expert on modding.
Battlefield One trailer with actual World War 1 music. I love the juxtaposition.
Happy (4 day late) 12th birthday to one of my favourite shooters, Halo 2. I guess.
I can’t believe that franchise is 15 years old. That’s NUTS.
Just recently purchased both Battlefield One and Overwatch; I’m very much enjoying both. Battlefield is an absolutely beautiful game, and at times it looks better than real life. I love the environmental destruction; there’s something so cool about starting in a grassy European village, and by the end of the match it’s a muddy field littered with craters and rubble. My only issue with it is the menu/user interface, it’s absolutely atrocious. It lacks very basic functionality; it doesn’t even let you leave a game in between matches, forcing you to terminate the game via Task Manager.

Yes, I love the game also, it is probably the most beautiful game to date. As far the menu, it is atrocious. However, DICE is getting a lot of flak for it, and they’ve proven in the past that they actually do listen to their fans, so I believe it’ll get a hefty fix in the next update.
I haven’t noticed too much menu performance weirdness, but I do kinda agree that they’re weird.
They started it with Battlefront, and from a design standpoint I love them. They’re super modern and super clean and sexy, but they just don’t fit the spirit of the games. It feels a bit like Assassin’s Creed where you’re (spoilers?) playing a game set in a certain time period through a futuristic modern real-world interface, and that just rubs me wrong, gives it a kinda clinical “you’re playing a game” feel, and takes me out of it immersion-wise. I’d prefer if the menus fit the game.

Just got through with a play through of ocarina of time. Damn that game is like a spiritual journey for me. I always have to fight tears at the end. With high definition texture packs and ran at 1080p on project 64 it even looks beautiful.
I’m in the process of acquiring what I need to set up a 120 inch projection screen, and paying this game in hd on it is one of the first things I’m gonna do. It all started when I saw an amazon listing for a used projector that normally runs for about 700 dollars for under 300 used. Native 1080p resolution. Now I’m just going to drop about 45 bucks on a 120 screen and I already have a surround sound system… I’m excited. Probably why I’m talking about it in the wrong thread from getting side tracked.

OOT is a yearly playthrough for me. I love it.
