Those ā2.5Dā multiplayer maps were pretty trippy. They could do stuff you canāt do with a real 3D engine.
Did you ever play that map (it may have been Marathon 1 only, thus on the Mac) that was like a cube within a cube, with openings in each wall of the inner one that led to crossing hallways within? Youād go into one of them, hang a right, and emerge in a different āoutsideā than the one youād left. I wish I could remember what that map was called.
Wish theyād do Myth too!
Iām not so sure they own the rights to Myth. That was by far my favorite game back in the day. I played it online nonstop. So much fun.
Yeah, I think they sold the rights off somehow. all I remember is that Myth III (not developed by Bungie) kinda blew chunks compared to Myth 1 and 2.
Yeah Take 2 got the Myth and Oni IPs.
:cry: 12345
To be fair, with the recent Marathon news, if Bungie revived Myth it would probably be another monkeyās paw situation.
Man, Oni was underrated for its time. The melee combat was pretty cool.
It remember it being a very cool experience, but I donāt remember it too well anymore. The only thing that stands out in my mind about that game is that I opened a door late in the game, and it was full of bad guys in a big room with all their guns aimed at the door I was coming through, and my only thought at that time was not āoh noā, āoh shitā, but more like āOh Hell Yeahā as I ran towards the closest guy while doing cartwheels to dodge their bullets.
That was from a separate Bungie studio, IIRC. I want to say in San Diego maybe.
Edit: Looking it up, nope, āBungie Westā that developed Oni was in San Jose.
Also it did the thing that I wish all third person games did, which is make things that would block the camera view of your character transparent at critical moments.
I canāt understand why that hasnāt become the standard, honestly. There must be a terrific cost in programming it that way or something, I guess (Iām not a dev/programmer).
You guys confused me, youāre taking about āOniā but I kept thinking you were talking about the Ori games.
So Iāve been looking at higher-end Xbox controllers, specifically to play Zelda streaming from my PC via Moonlight. Streaming works perfectly on Xbox, and I donāt need to re-pair my XSX controller with my shieldTV or appleTV. Itās pretty neat.
Anyway Iām looking for a controller with:
Surprisingly the product I want does not seem to exist. The closest I can find is an 8bitdo ultimate wireless bluetooth controller ($70) with its wireless bluetooth dongle stuck into a Brook converter dongle ($50). That controller is wireless with back paddles and hall effect joysticks, but itās obviously bluetooth, it has switch-oriented face buttons, and sticking its bluetooth dongle into another dongle then hanging that out of the console seems inelegant, to say the least.
Iām frankly shocked this device isnāt available. It seems like an obvious thing, but no. Xboxās wireless is only supported by a bare handful of controllers and none of them seem to have the rest of what I want.
Go onā¦
Zelda is on PC?
People emulate it on the PC. Iām too lazy to figure out how to do it.
I realize many of you will probably think, great, another ho-hum month. But I kind of like these choices! I am not familiar with Adios but it does sound kind of interesting. And Iāve nearly bought The Vale a couple of times so thatās a positive in my book.
Both of those sound great.
It does sound interesting, but I do note that Amazon was giving it away to Prime members a while back.
Not sure what the proper characterization for MSās acquisition policies for GWG would be, but what pops into my mind is āsub-prime gaming.ā
Iād probably go with āsub-Game Pass gamingā, since it seems pretty clear where the effort (and money) is going.
I think theyāre going for āsmall overlooked indie gemsā. If they can achieve that, Iām fine with it.
