Re-releases with new content and polish if Titan Quest is anything to go by. I was actually shocked at it seeing a fucking switch physical release

GoG PC releases hopefully.

Get ready for your timesplitters hero shooter niggers.

Where the fuck are they getting all this money to buy all these IPs?

>>15301523

I'm all kinds of erect right now

Better fucking have TS2/FP ported to PC by next year.

>>15301611

its not like TimeSplitters is worth anything at this point

>>15301611

By selling games that are attached to the IP they acquired and by releasing medium budget title that are continuation of those or original stuff entirely, also a couple of cheap and easy remasters ironically they still tend to have more support and work behind them than big releases, and I would assume Crytek is in the gutter so they're probably selling low.

>>15301624

I liked Back In Action's projectile system. Sadly, the lack of fully destructible environments killed it for me. Wish they'd do it justice this time.

>>15301523

If you wanna make money, just release Timesplitters 2 multiplayer as free to play and cash in on character and weapon skins.

>>15301666

Why 2 over Future Perfect?

them trips

>>15301680

Probably nostalgia or maybe EA's involvement with Future Perfect…but by the time FP came out I was already totally burned out after playing 2 for so long. FP for whatever reason just didn't hook me.

>>15301704

>there's actually a chance of Timesplitters 4 getting produced when it was dropped after the disaster of Haze

>that fan project TimeSplitters forever/whatever the fuck it is called that will probably end up failing or getting disbanded will now not have as much weight from fans as they can look at an actual company rather than the slogfest of what the fan project's development is.

>>15301680

How can Future Perfect be perfect if it doesn't have Chicago and Tommy Guns?

>>15301638

Actually never mind any hope that I had, it's done by the devs of Jagged Alliance Online. 95% chance it's gonna suck.

HD jo-beth in current year never ever!

>>15301523

God I hope its both, I need a good and proper fps. I'm tired of the trash heaps that keep getting shoveled out by shitty devs and publishers. Using the level builder with kb+m will probably be pretty comfy too.

>>15301523

Nah I think they fire out a Timesplitters remaster collection. That type of shit seems to be the new THQ's business model.

>>15301523

That's good, but my problem is that the devs scattered to the winds, just like Darksiders 3, are THQ gonna get a couple of them or all of them back together?

Offtopic, but why are we archiving Nichegamer? I thought they were OK?

Or is it more to preserve the articles out of habit?

>>15301894

Well duh it's an upper body shot above teetees of a bitch wearing what seems to be a tight leotard/one-piece swimsuit or something to hide the flabby rolls of fat she most likely has in her mid-section due to shitty lifestyle of booze and partying "hard"…

>a thread worth talking about

Hope they dont fuck it up. They have a lot of IPs now. How long have they been around? Depending on dev cycles we might start hearing stuff

>>15301611

Y'know how there are all these companies out there that hold on to IPs and then do absolutely nothing at all with them, not even selling the games that other people have already made for them under those licenses?

Yeah, turns out that actually selling games is a pretty good way of making money.

>>15301936

for a while, they started out as comic scalpers, then became video game scalpers, and in 2008 became involved in development. They literally never made anything good and this hasn't changed since they acquired the THQ branding. For all the celebration for buying all these IPs, they sure have done fuck all with them.

>>15301523

O H

F U C K

Y E S

I like the Timesplitters IP, but if whatever they do with it (assuming it doesn't stay dormant) doesn't have the same style of gameplay as 2 or FP, I'm out. If I see anyone aiming down goddamn iron sights I'm done with first person shooters forever.

>>15301993

Uh… You could always aim down iron sights in TS, depending on the gun .

A bunch.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THQ_Nordic#Properties_acquired

I'm not keeping up with what they release though. I know they did Spellforce recently, but I never played those games.

Since they have a bunch of dev teams scattered around now they could work on multiple things at once, but my bet is that they're focusing on Darksiders 3 mostly.

Considering they appear quite conservative financially it makes me wonder how many of those IPs we'll see used in the near future.

I do very much want to see them work on some Novalogic IPs like Delta Force for nostalgia's sake.

>>15302052

Shoot, meant to reply to >>15301950

>>15301523

I find it strange they call themselves THQ Nordic despite not having any roots to THQ, because I have a lot of bad memories of games published by THQ.

>>15302091

>because I have a lot of bad memories of games published by THQ.

Tell us about the THQuality

>>15302031

Yes, but it wasn't cowadoodee right down the sights for any pistols, shotguns, or modern rifles (aside from the sniper rifle)

How did Free Radical Design lose control of their own IP in the first place? They used to talk about how important that was in interviews all the time.

>>15302140

>How did Free Radical Design lose control of their own IP in the first place?

They went bankrupt after making Haze and closed down. They were promptly bought up by Crytek and made next to nothing for them. Then Deep Silver acquired (?) them and now somehow THQ Nordic bought their IP.

What about the group that was working on timesplitters rewind?

>>15302151

They aquired Koch Media which owns Deep Silver

Time splitters was always a really shitty console shooter series.

>>15302188

no your mom is

>>15301580

i would have thought "hero shooter" was some kind of alternate term for run and gun. but no it refers to fps aos clones.

The last thing Nordic did was release a free remaster of red faction gorilla,so,they're good in my eyes for the forseeable future

>>15301881

>are THQ gonna get a couple of them or all of them back together?

Actually, Free Radical lives on as Dambuster Studios.

>>15302151

>>15302170

What happened is that Crytek tasked Free Radical (Renamed as Crytek UK) with making a sequel/reboot to Homefront. However, during development, Crytek canned the project, shut down the studio, and sold the IP to Deep Silver. Not long after that, Deep Silver hired all the ex-Free Radical/Crytek UK employees under a new studio named Dambuster Studios, and then tasked them with finishing Homefront: The Revolution. Since then, they've been a subsidiary of Deep Silver, and are now part of THQ Nordic due to the Koch Media acquisition.

>>15302188

it's definitely better than PC shooters.

>>15302292

>lemme prove them wrong by posting the clunkiest arena shooter

double tapping for dodge on an input device with the longest travel time of all input devices is evidence of bad design.

Here's a random thought: What if THQ Nordic plans on entering the console market?

They'll sit on it for another 10 years

>>15302321

then their retarded fans will have a plastic piece of shit to cling onto. Doesn't make sense for them, though. They're in the market of reselling, that's why most of their releases are remasters. Their new games are utter trash.

>>15302346

there we go, you can post games with good movement after all. UT has always felt like shit. Timesplitters isn't a game about movement, however. It's got a far better single player campaign than almost every PC FPS, I struggle to think of one better - for now I'll say there might be but in my 30 years PC gaming experience I haven't played one.

>>15302376

What's your point?

Those games play like fucking ass with a gamepad, much like every FPS.

Defending playing FPS games on console is like defending Racing games with a fucking Keyboard.

>>15302372

killzone is terrible, but good job derailing a thread about timesplitters I guess. Keep up the good fight against evil console games while sucking down all those ports though.

I only care about pointing out the autistic spergs that are easy to spot and which uneducated opinions should be ignored.

>>15302376

>>15302403

You are all retarded.

Console shooters can be fun but Timesplitters controls were obsolete by the time the game launched, the single player campaign is just a series of shitty empty levels with generic enemies and the multiplayer is only fun for its extensive customization and options. UT was clunky too, not assigning dodge to a modifier key like shift was really a retarded idea but other than that, at least it had well designed maps except for facing worlds.

>Defending playing FPS games on console is like defending Racing games with a fucking Keyboard.

Games like Halo proved you can design a fps around controller limitations and create a fun experience: thumbsticks and aim assist just means the focus shifts from the basic act of aiming and shooting to other aspects of the gameplay but there's still a considerable amount of depth.

Problems arise when you play a game on a platform it wasn't designed for and pretend it will work just the same: UT and Quake play like shit on a controller, but the same can be said about playing Halo with a mouse, it's not just about how easy it is to aim on pc.

>Always that one autist who has to derail threads when he sees UT being mentioned.

I'd be impressed at your ability to show up every damn time if it wasn't so pathetic.

>>15302523

These days it seems more and more like threads are ruined by a small number of autists. It's starting to discourage me from even using /v/ anymore. It makes me want to seclude to the smaller boards where that doesn't happen.

Ragnarok was trash though, it also lengthened the game unnecessarily, still runs like shit and feels cheap all around (the voice acting, re-recycled enemies, etc).

>>15302578

Oh good, gamezard is gone. I think this could be a good thing if they ever do anything with the ip. Seems like the might too, as they were prompted to announce the acquisition.

I'd like to see the same team that handled the homefront port manage this one. A full scale port would be a great thing, along with an expanded toolset beyond the limits the console editor had wouod be awesome. For the first time a goldeneye style fps can be on pc, something that has always been lacking from the platform.

>>15303145

Did you reply to the right person?

>>15302372

Time Splitters was the spiritual successor to Perfect Dark and Goldeneye. It had open ended missions.

>>15303266

fuck yeah it was.

>>15302052

Releasing remasters of games that have a good following, and then use that to fund sequels or more remasters of another property isn't that bad of a move. It won't make them insanely rich, but it should be enough to stay afloat. Maybe this is the sign more AA studios will finally start popping up again.

>>15303244

No

>>15303210

So easy to get your attention, but no

I won't be satisfied until they get rights to S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

>>15303376

Time splitters is a western game, you okay there? Not sure what all this has to do with your arch nemesis.

>>15301539

>GoG PC releases hopefully.

A PC release is what they'd do if they're smart.

As there's been a huge push to get the franchise on PC for a while. There were even fans who attempted to remake Future Perfect's multiplayer.

>>15301576

>Whatever happens, it will probably be more than Crytek has done with it.

People asked for years if Crytek would remaster Timesplitters 2. They eventually just went and stated "no because Timesplitters didn't sell well"

Iirc the only reason they acquired Free Radical in the first place was because FR was working on Star Wars Battlefront 3 and they wanted that. But then that project fell through.

Already a thread

>>15302581

>>15303533

>mods

Timesplitters 1, 2 and 3 allowed you to make custom maps. It's the bulk of the time I spent playing the game was making levels for those games on the PS2

>>15303544

I'd like to see an expanded editor.

I'm not as excited as I would have been last week. THQ just showed off a god awful Jagged Alliance cash in from a mobile studio that looks shit.

Still I hope they do a rerelease of the 3 games on PC with online MP and a full map editor.

>a game with preset objectives has never been on pc

Just fucking kill yourself.

>>15302318

No it just means that the dodge isn't a get out of jail free card. Nothing pisses me off more than instantaneous dodge, you can play like an absolute retard and not get punished for it so long as you press the magic button right before you get hit even if it's just a single frame before collision. Fuck that, only a slack jawed retard would appreciate such a casual mechanic.

People also forget Timesplitters 3 had online multiplayer that was only up for a few months before being completely taken down by the publisher. Most people barely had any time to actually play it during the game's lifespan. Almost everyone who played the game just played it with bots or splitscreen.

>>15303613

Nothing like goldeneye, unless you want to try and explain how thief has anything in common with it. Not even nolf is like goldeneye.

>>15301881

THQ Nordic owns Deep Silver and Koch Media now. Koch Media owns Dambuster Studios, a lot of whom are the former Free Radical.

>>15301947

>no good games

This is the Police, Elex, Spellforce and Wreckfest. They are releasing more stuff in the near future like Biomutant and Fade to Silence which have potential as they are both interesting Euro-RPGs. There is a solid chance that they might work with GSC Game World and Stalker 2 too, as THQ Nordic loves to work with smaller European studios.

>>15303659

Pick a game, damn near any first person shooter. CoD and Medal of Honor were also on PC and at least in those you could aim properly. Hate to burst your nostalgic sheltered bubble but GoldenEye is not a particularly unique game as far as what the game expects you to do. It's just an console shooter, and as thus played like shit. Especially with a fucking N64 controller.

>>15303743

None of those are like goldeneye.

>>15303622

>it just means that the dodge isn't a get out of jail free card

Having to double tap just makes dodging more painful and inconsistent, it doesn't make it any less fast than using a modifier key. A real solution to the problem you are talking about would be just doing what Quake already did before: make movement momentum based so that you reach the maximum speed gradually, making the player trajectory more predictable would also make projectile weapons more effective at range which was also another big problem in UT, where hitscan weapons usually dominate.

>>15303687

There are entire aspects that stop making sense when you play Halo with mouse and keyboard, you may aswell not play it at that point and focus on fps designed with pc in mind.

The fact that you are taken out of scope when you get hit for example, in Halo it's used as a suppression mechanic since the aim assist effective range for precision weapons is based on the zoom level you are using. This obviously doesn't translate to mouse gameplay, and weapon balance is fucked up as a result.

Physics for certain vehicles like the banshee in H2 again, are completely broken when you can almost instantly turn 180 degrees with a mouse.

The game also uses controller vibration a lot to effectively communicate what's happening on screen, pc games usually have some sort of visual effect and audio cues like the grunts you hear in Quake, but Halo takes a more minimal approach with its hud and it can be difficult to understand when you are getting hit without vibration.

>>15303762

NOLF 1-2 are very similar in both theme and execution and they are a lot of fun, the first is more linear and packed with a huge variety of levels and set pieces, the sequel takes a more open ended approach but I didn't like it as much.

>>15303979

>double tap dodging

>double tap to run

>double tap inputs for any defensive move

This is the worst fucking meme, short of tying actions to on-release inputs instead of on-press inputs

Yes, this dodge move which you will often use reflexively in response to fast incoming threats obviously needs an input method which takes two presses instead of just one. Do you like your jumps and block moves with double tap inputs too? It's not like dodge spam can be counteracted in any other way instead of making it less reliable to execute (in time). It's not like there can be recovery frames or cooldown periods after dashing at all.

Literally the only people I see actually defending double tap inputs as a means of balance on the internet are UTards. UT4 did not suffer from one-tap dodging at all. In singleplayer this is a complete cancer, even moreso with old console games with inconsistent framerates where a dropped frame means a dropped input.

>>15303762

>my linear objective fps is totally unique and no one has ever put a game like that on PC before

Fuck off underage shitter.

>>15304089

No one has, there's only 5 like it and they're all on consoles, never on pc.

>>15303659

Goldeneye was shit dude. Granted, I never played it as a child so I don't have any nostalgia for it, but it's way more clunky than other games from the same year and before. Unbearably so.

>>15304135

>Goldeneye was shit

>I never played it

Why post at all? It's a great game, has dual analog controls, excellent levels and really intricate enemy behavior and brought objective based levels to the genre.

>>15304087

>Yes, this dodge move which you will often use reflexively

Slack jawed retard confirmed. Having to play defensively by observing an enemies attacks and then using dodge to counter a tell and get in is far more interesting than just run up, mindlessly mash attack like a dipshit and then press button when the game tries to punish you for being an idiot. What exactly is the problem with double tap to run? With pointless dedicated buttons for dodge and another for run you have sacrificed two keys that could have been used for other mechanics which would have resulted in a more complex and interesting game. However, needing to actual think when using a dodge or defensive manuever seems to make your head hurt so more simple games are more your speed.

>Do you like your jumps and block moves with double tap inputs too?

>Herp derp if u liek double for one thing u liek double tap for ALL thing!

chimp tier logic. Anything more complex than 0 or 1 is too much for you to handle. Much more comforting to try and file everything into 2 groups at max, good guy and badguy, left and right, black and white.

>instead of making it less reliable to execute (in time).

There is nothing unreliable about double tap dodge. It's not the games fault you're an inbred who can't plan ahead at all and just like to mash buttons. If you understand how your enemy works you will be able to reliably dodge them with 100% consistency.

>It's not like there can be recovery frames or cooldown periods after dashing at all.

All of which are compatible with double tap dodge while saving you an extra button.

>>15304148

I said I never played it as a child, I was trying to imply I only played it as an adult.

>>15304291

I'm saying you never played it. Only way someone could tap into the le goldeneye was never good meme.

>>15304310

I have played it, though. I didn't like it.

>goldeneye was never good meme

I'm sure it was great for its time, but that was when most console gamers had never played a first-person shooter before. Goldeneye is the definition of a game aging poorly.

>>15304402

>Elaborate

Framedrops everywhere, slow movement speed, clunky controls, extremely low draw distance.

It's better played via emulation for a reason and it's average at best.

>>15304402

I don't think I've played a single FPS made after 2013 so I wouldn't know

Everything feels off about it. From the weird "point roughly in the direction of your enemy to kill them" to the general awkward controls. I do like the locations and objectives, that one boat level being my favorite, but that's not enough to save it.

Some of it can be blamed on the controller, some of it can be blamed on it being too ambitious for an N64 game. There were better first-person shooters on the console like Doom 64, but a lot of them were ruined by being too fucking dark and forgetting about the texture filtering which ruined the sprites.

>>15304087

S4 League at least got dodging right with held modifier + held left/right strafe + jump.

>>15304445

The framerate is an n64 problem in general, not the end of the world. The movement speed is ideal for the pace of the game, it's not a fast paced shooter. It even has leaning. The draw distance is fine and rarely matters as occluded enemies aren't active unless set to be, it doesn't matter mostly because the game is corridor centric.

>play it via emulator

Only if you want to use the mouse injector trojan that utterly trivializes the game and messes with the timings, ruining the free aim system. Your post was average at best, lacking in criticism with any real gumption, avoiding specifics and from a historically bad poster. Work on that. B-.

>>15304713

All of those issues in comparison with other games of the same genre at the time make it an average game at best either you like it or not.

>ruining the free aim system

It was already ruined with the fact that you can't move while using it

>>15304761

>still no real criticism

I mean it's better than turok. It's better than the quake port. It's better than seeds of evil, better than everything or nothing, better than hexen 64, better than quake 2, better than duke64, better than daikatana, better than the southpark fps. I'd safely say that puts it in the upper echelon of n64 shooters, making it above average, and considering there's not much else to compare it to, so it's probbly in the top 3 shooters on the system. Hardly average.

>It was already ruined with the fact that you can't move while using it

weird it's almost like that's the point, to give you a really accurate shot.

This post is worse. Just an F. Apply yourself kid.

>>15304473

>Everything feels off about it

It feels different from most games. I don't know what you mean by off. The autoaim is toned down depending on the difficulty level which alters its activation range and its target in sight locking. Doom 64 isn't really too great, it's decent but it's got a few problems on the n64, namely the visibility which is just awful. You praise goldeneye a ton too, and it deserves it. It's got some very inventive level design, pacing which frequently introduces new things, surprises the player, and engages them in varied challenges. It's a very good game.

>>15304820

>If THQ Nordic were decent they should actually get the team behind the Timesplitters Rewind fan project to help out with a new game

The same group that for some reason tried to build the game on Cryengine and added Call of Duty-esque guns and shitty effects like reflections

Rewind is closer to a completely different game than a fan remake or a fan remaster. If this was finished as a fully released product nobody would think it was a good remake.

>>15304842

They might be worth engaging with or hearing out but fan creators are either focus point representations of what fans want or amateurs who have their own version they want to make to satisfy their autistic desires. The latter is unfortunately common with stalker mods, just as an example. Sonic Mania would be a decent example of the former.

>>15305277

>Haze was after Crytek bought them up;

No it was not. Haze came out in 2008. Free Radical was bought by Crytek in 2009.

>>15305323

But the Tony Hawk games were some of the biggest games at the time, and were of course on consoles (including being an Xbox launch title) and had level creators. Also, somehow I never thought of making a "Fuck map." I think I'm gonna boot up Tony Hawk 2 right now and do that. Fits with the hip hop vibe of that game.

>>15303533

They probably still won't let you jump, though cunts

>>15304842

Looking at this video makes me realize what a difficult thing it could be to remake the Timesplitters games. For example, would you keep the clunky aiming on console? Would you get normal m+kb aiming on pc? And if so, how would you balance the challenge maps and single player accordingly? I'm not even sure what I'd prefer myself.

The Hotel part looked atmospheric as fuck though. Also fuck the guy in the video for always moaning about "competitive" players, Timesplitters isn't meant to be competitive.

>>15304169

>Slack jawed retard confirmed. Having to play defensively by observing an enemies attacks and then using dodge to counter a tell and get in is far more interesting than just run up, mindlessly mash attack like a dipshit and then press button when the game tries to punish you for being an idiot.

this has nothing to do with what I said

>What exactly is the problem with double tap to run? With pointless dedicated buttons for dodge and another for run you have sacrificed two keys that could have been used for other mechanics which would have resulted in a more complex and interesting game.

It's painful to have to do this constantly when frequently switching movement speeds, or in a side-scrolling game where you need to double-tap either left or right to run in that direction, directions which you'll constantly be changing. Or in Doom whete you can sprint in any direction, try imagining Doom with double-tap inputs for sprinting. PC games usually have enough buttons for a dedicated sprint button.

>However, needing to actual think when using a dodge or defensive manuever seems to make your head hurt so more simple games are more your speed.

There's no extra "thinking" involved with double-tap inputs. It's an input method which needlessly adds a delay to dodging and makes the game feel less responsive, making you prone to getting hit by lightning-fast attacks in the middle of a double-tap input. There's a place for this in more methodical games like the backflip in Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, but not in a fast-paced shooter like Unreal Tournament. Else you're better off with button combinations like Down+Left/Right+Jump for dodging since button combinations don't have a built-in input delay

>chimp tier logic. Anything more complex than 0 or 1 is too much for you to handle. Much more comforting to try and file everything into 2 groups at max, good guy and badguy, left and right, black and white.

No, try actually justifying why dodges need double-tap inputs but blocks and jumps don't.

>There is nothing unreliable about double tap dodge. It's not the games fault you're an inbred who can't plan ahead at all and just like to mash buttons.

Except mashing buttons is literally what you're doing with double taps.

>>15301539

Anything that THQ releases on PC is by default a GOG game.

Not many know, but not only does THQ own Timesplitters, they also own Free Radical - sort of. Many former Free Radical guys started a new studio called Dambuster Studios, who are now owned by THQ too since they bought Deep Silver (who own Dambuster.)

So far, the only thing that Dambuster has released is Homefront: The Revolution, which despite being mediocre I found pretty fun and and interesting as the Far Cry esque game it is. But, I think things are lining up here. You'll probably see Timesplitters remastered or rereleased on PC and modern consoles. Probably Switch too since Switch got no games and anything sells on it.

>>15306441

On that note, I'd like to mention that Dambuster are scaling up, and hiring some people for a future game. If it has anything to do with Timesplitters yet? No idea and probably not, they will probably work on another open world shooter like Homefront The Revolution first.

>>15308389

why dont you make like a time and split

Well there was a PC like thingy in that shitty FPS game as an easter egg so a PC port was in the works. Hope they go all out with it.

>>15301539

>>15311644

Does Timesplitters have a mouselook hack like Perfect Dark and Goldeneye?

Future Perfect was an awesome game. Best facial animations I've ever seen in a game too.

>>15312188

If they made a HD rerelease for PC my erection will be seen for miles

PC ports of all of the games would be nice.

How many of the old guard are still around for a potential fourth game? A few of them quit games altogether after being jerked around so much over the years, didn't they? I don't know I want Timesplitters made by just anyone. There's a very specific feel that the games made by the old Rare guys all had.

>>15315350

I just want a funny single player shooter.

There is almost no fanart of this game, and the characters. Why is that?

>>15314215

Truthfully I am kind of nervous about how Timesplitters 4 would be since Homefront The Revolution launched in a buggy state and was kinda forgettable, granted I liked the DLCs.

>>15316352

I recall hearing that Dambusters didn't make homefront from scratch, and they actually finished someone else's work with that. It might explain the bugginess of the game a little.

>>15316876

XBOX is 480p and doesn't lag in 4 player splitscreen it also has XBlive but that's dead and the replacement projects are like 95% Halo/Halo 2.

NGC also has everything the XBOX version has minus online (although FP might be a tad slower at parts), and it emulates very very well so if you want to play it you can also do that.

>>15316306

Because homosexuals like yourself started playing games on the 360.

>>15316876

The Xbox ports are much better. Even if you arent using 480p. Better rendering quality, doesnt drop framerate as much. The bot play as well is way more stable.

>>15314068

Plenty of good ones, just not anything mainstream

>>15314215

Considering they bundled Homefront 2 : Electric Boogaloo with a playable section of Timesplitters 2 on PC I'd say more than we expect

>Considering they bundled Homefront 2 : Electric Boogaloo with a playable section of Timesplitters 2 on PC I'd say more than we expect

The interesting pat is that they bundled the files for the whole fucking game, but only the first two levels were playable.

the Uterine Torsion fags are always a persistent sort of autist.

>>15316371

I heard the opposite, basically Homefront 2 was gonna be linear like the first, but midway through they decided to start over and make what they dubbed an "Open world HL2", but according to the dev they had a smaller team than needed for these kinds of games. It felt like the dev cared about the world and setting, but really lacked the experience, manpower, or budget to really see it through.

>>15317677

Wasn't there also mentions on The Cutting Room floor about Second Sight and Timesplitters Future Perfect? It seemed more like it'd just be

>Free Radical HD Collection, Homefront The Revolution also included!

>this has nothing to do with what I said

It has absolutely everything to do with what you said you shitsucking moron. Nice attempt trying dodge the points I made.

>It's painful to have to do this constantly when frequently switching movement speeds,

Again with the limp dicked soyboy fingers excuse. Here's a few exercises for you, It's a very foreign concept to you but you should try it anyway:

>try imagining Doom with double-tap inputs for sprinting

You're always running in DOOM. Double tap is a non issue as it frees you up from needlessly holding down an extra button while running, which should help with that soy fingers issue you have trouble dealing with.

>PC games usually have enough buttons for a dedicated sprint button.

and many keys are prime real estate. There are plenty of keys so lets just map sprint to P then. Do you see how fucking stupid that is? If you don't need a dedicated key for a certain input then you should use that key for something else that is more important.

>There's no extra "thinking" involved with double-tap inputs

Recognizing tells and reacting is more thinking than just press magic button right before hit which makes every attack feel the same.

>It's an input method which needlessly adds a delay to dodging and makes the game feel less responsive

There is no delay and it doesn't make the game feel less responsive, it activates the moment you double tap. If you want it to come out faster then simply tap faster and stop drinking so much soy.

>No

Wonderful argumentation skills right there.

>try actually justifying why dodges need double-tap inputs but blocks and jumps don't.

They don't need double tap inputs and they don't need single tap inputs, necessity was never the argument here, it was never even mentioned before you brought it up, it's just a much smarter way to do things in order to maximize the amount of actions you can have the player do. Since you won't be dodging constantly due to cooldown/balance there is no reason to have a dedicated button, allowing the player to mash the magic button constantly to avoid all damage would be broken and destroy any challenge, which is why the mechanic has a cooldown/delay afterwards to make you vulnerable and prevent constant use. Double tap jump worked fine in Dark Souls since you weren't jumping all the time, it was very sparingly. This wouldn't work in a platformer where jumping is constant and no cooldown necessary to balance the mechanic. Since it is the core of the gameplay it gets a dedicated button. There is a heirarchy of buttons at play, whichever ones are the core and need to be used constantly and frequently get a single tap while ones that are used sparingly get a double. This is what your mixed race mystery meat brain cannot comprehend.

>Except mashing buttons is literally what you're doing with double taps.

It LITERALLY isn't actually:

could this be it?

>>15317990

Maybe

>>15317990

Well, like it says. It could be anything.

>>15317677

I wonder if they were told to stop before they overshadowed the existing game with their better games.

THQ Nordic is the first based publishing company in years. Any way they can get Tribes?

>>15318461

Don't make a judgement call just yet, Jagged Alliance looks like shit and Darksiders 3 looks mediocre.

>>15318461

They'll get bought out by EA eventually.

>>15318458

Oh yeah, I forgot all about Iwata. He hasn't made many headlines lately, what's he been up to at Nintendo?

>>15330948

Anon he died

>>15330965

Nah. He's alright now.

>>15302292

Unreal fucking sucks compared to TimeSplitters.

>>15316306

TimeSplitters missed the boat for autist artists making porn of them. You ask nearly anyone and maybe a handful of people will kinda remember TS, if they even played it.

If TS came out right now, people would be playing the shit out of it and you wouldn't be able to throw a stone without hitting a shitty SFM porn clip with Angel Forge.

Wasn't THQ announcing new vidya at Gamescom? I didn't hear anything about it.
