I’ve always seen The Force as eternal rather than something of antiquity. The fact that Jedi Knights were everywhere 20 years prior to the Battle of Yavin is a testament to that.
Yeahhhh… not sure I’d be clicking any of those links haha.
In other news, I’m definitely more hyped for Rogue One than I am for Episode VIII.
As of now…I agree but once the first teaser trailer hits it’s du dunn dunn. Let me even see a new photo of Rey, Luke or Kylo Ren and I’ll change my stance on the spot.
Well not all users can be like you. This is just another example of that.
Good because to overly surprised and the “I’m on the verge of crapping my pants” look while funny at first gets distracting eventually.
I’ll never forget this but my Mom watched me play OoT once and she yelled “It’s just an ocarina! Why are you so amazed by an ocarina?”
You might be right. I run through OoT at least once every two or three years so the next time I do I’ll play it with a texture pack. I just hope one of them fixes Link’s face. Above all I’m glad that OoT made Link’s face not uncomfortable to look at.
“Verbal abuse” lol
I weep for my brethren and sisters as well.
EDIT:
Well let me say this so there’s no confusion…looking at it now yes the texture pack looks better than the original. However it doesn’t look good enough to warrant an installation.
One month to go!
Seriously, how crazy is that? Felt like 6 months ago when I was complaining that this movie needed to come quicker and boom it’s right around the corner.
Plus resolution doesn’t really matter for a game that old.
Couldn’t be more wrong about that. Not only do the texture packs make the graphics legitimately HD and detailed, but when you’re playing on a screen that’s plus 60 inches having the graphics generated at a higher resolution (which is much different than upscaling) makes a fuckload of difference.
Here’s something I did up real quick to show this. I don’t have the proportions exactly right, I got the one on the right too small I think but that should actually make it look better. Enhanced texture packs displayed in HD on the left, regular game displayed at N64’s native resolution but resized to the same as the enhanced one. The screenshot I took isn’t a very good example it’s just from the title screen. Not the exact same frame either but close enough.
I mean if you would rather look at the one on the right, that’s your business I guess lol.
Still looks like shit either way. It’s not as though we’re talking a modern Morrowind visual overhaul. Now those changes are astronomical.
I’m not allowed to ignore that thread. Take it to the Doctor Who thread.
Too bad. I’ll be taking any further shooed away conversations there. It’s not as though any rational debates go in there anyway. Monkeys throwing shit at each other is as graceful as most of the discussions in that thread.
I just think the increased speed suits it.
The only time it’s noticeable is at the end and it does work rather nicely. Not a fan of the generic modern Death Metal guitar tone though.
And don’t let my bitching fool you; I like the cover. I’m just extra nitpicky because I deem the original to be almost perfect.
And about Deicide: I actually don’t really like them on the whole as a band, it’s just that Legion is such a good album I have to mention them.
I feel the same way as there are only a few songs from them that I really fuck with. They’re like Cannibal Corpse in the fact that they’re big because of brutality rather than good song writing.
If I wanted to pay on a screen that’s a couple inches long sure.
That’s why Nintendo made the XL. Plus resolution doesn’t really matter for a game that old.
But I honestly think the n64 versions with texture packs look better anyway.
I’d say that I actually prefer the original to the version with texture packs. Opinions are weird lol
From what I’ve seen the remakes only upgraded the modes but with the texture packs everything looks beautiful and detailed.
Well the 3DS version upgraded textures and cleaned up a couple of animations not to mention that can play the game in 3D which is more naturally than one would expect. I think for the price it’s the best version of OoT one can play.
Listen to the song Sadistic Intent by sinister I think you’ll enjoy it.
Going to look it up in a sec
And as for the legion of the famed pestilence cover the song is Chronic infection I prefer it offer original and it has original vocalist.
I wish Martin had taken lead on the vocals because somehow he still has it. Where people like Tom Araya, Mille Petrozza, David Vincent, Tom Angelripper and Ross Dolan have fallen off Martin has still retained a decent amount of his vocal prowess.
As for the cover it’s pretty damn good but the only thing I can give it over the original is the production.
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.
Me as well, Majora’s Mask about every other year too. I like it almost as much, but it’s alot ‘heavier’ so I can’t handle it every year lol. There’s a really good HD texture pack for it too by some guy called Bluedart.
Or you could just get the 3DS version.
79 = prime
Legion of the Damned did a very good cover of a Pestilence song though. I think they even got pestilence vocalist to come in and do vocals for it.
want now
There are a few smaller death metal bands I like but I’m not a huge straight-death metal fan. And when I’m in the mood for some traditional death metal I usually go for the bigger names because they have a certain"spark" that makes their sound pop to me and most smaller acts bore me. I like Morbid Angel, Deicide, Sinister, the first couple vital remains records, and a few others.
Pestilence is definitely one of the bigger names. I dare say they’re more popular than Deicide…Well maybe not but Consuming Impulse is definitely more popular and held in a higher regard than anything Deicide has ever done. The only Sinister song I have ever heard was their Necrophiliac Cover.
I’m much more into melodic death metal. (Kalmah, Insomnium, Children of Bodom, Sateriel, Stuff like that).
Funny thing is that I like melodic riffs but not Melodeath. I prefer Doom Metal in terms of an Extreme Metal Genre that is based on melodic riffing. Candlemass and Sabbath (if you count them) of course being my favorites.
I also love black metal as long as the production isn’t shit (a few exceptions to this) and the lyrics/imagery aren’t too cheesy or over the top. Older Mayhem, Antestor, Emperor, Svartsyn, Setheriel, Crimson Moonlight, Behexen.
Honestly I don’t listen to too much Black Metal these days. Darkthrone is all I really listen to in terms of Black Metal.
You’ve never listened to Pestilence, Asphyx or any of the other bands he’s been in? I would be pretty surprised if you haven’t listened to Consuming Impulse. That’s a Death Metal essential.
I’ve heard pestilence and asphyx but never took an interest in them.
I feel you. It took me a couple of listens to get into Pestilence. Same goes for Immolation
You’ve never listened to Pestilence, Asphyx or any of the other bands he’s been in? I would be pretty surprised if you haven’t listened to Consuming Impulse. That’s a Death Metal essential.
Martin Van Drunen is a fucking beast.
I could have sworn it was something you use to speak to aliens or ghosts…I don’t know.
It’s only sad now that Rogue One is literally almost a month away from being released.
And there’s little-to-no hype…
Oh here yes but Star Wars discussion in the General Board is minimal. In general people are pretty excited for this film but not as excited as they were for TFA 😄
It’s only sad now that Rogue One is literally almost a month away from being released.
Pestilence - Chronicles Of The Scourge - Consuming Impulse (Rehearsals)
They would only be nuts if they were talking about the sequel. And yes, I’m probably one of the only people one the planet who has actually seen the sequel.
