Which clearly had a typo. Good grief.

"Turob"?

Explain what the connection is between Megaman and medical marijuana. And retroactively editing all your posts.

Orchestral score in a cyberpunk game? Why? WHHHHHYYYYYYY?

Who is he talking to?

The Vectrex doesn't have two sound chips. What he's alluding to is that the AY sound chip can be put into a mode where the CPU can directly control the volume level-- that is, play digital audio. Most 8-bit era sound chips were capable of this trick, even if they weren't explicitly designed for it.

So basically you don't even have an idea for a game, you have an idea for an idea for a game.

This remake was originally marketed as strictly a "remaster"-- the original game, but with graphics and controls updated to modern standards. Many people were very happy about this (see the comments on the teaser trailer), because System Shock is one of the most influential, highly-regarded PC games ever... and is also infamous for its cumbersome, pre-mouslook controls. All they had to do was stick to the original design and reimplement it. But no, this newbie game studio now thinks they can do better than the legendary Looking Glass. Original System Shock played perfectly well as a first-person Metroidvania. There is no reason to jump on the "make everything an RPG" bandwagon. So in addition to denying modern audiences the opportunity to play LGS's original design, they'll mostly likely f*ck it up as an RPG. Because a good, properly-balanced RPG is hard. Even SS2's RPG system is generally acknowledged to be a bit of an unbalanced mess, and that was coming from the guys who did Ultima Underworld. So hopefully now you understand why any reasonable person should be opposed to System Shock as an RPG.

Err, you could play the original in fullscreen as well.

Except for the part where one of the stretch goals is turning it into an RPG. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-07-01-how-will-system-shocks-reboot-differ-from-the-original This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

No reason? Riiight. Name one Jaguar game that has as many and as detailed polygonal objects on screen at once as Robotron 64 and that runs at a solid 30FPS.

You just did.

Bubbles crack? Never seen that happen before.

You're probably talking about dot crawl, the causes of which are quite well understood.

Shhhh. You know talk like that right in front of him just inspires him to even greater heights of aphasic rambling. Take that stuff to PM.

No, it isn't. DVD is a 4:3 format. What you mean is that you've letterboxed it. I swear to god, it's like you pick all the wrong words for things on purpose, and think you're clever for doing it.

This game is so bad, it took until the third page before anyone noticed the thread starter didn't even get the title right. It's "Trevor Mcfur IN the Crescent Galaxy".

Cranking the color knob on your 20-year-old TV all the way up so you get chroma bleed everywhere (which is, for the millionth time, NOT ARTIFACTING), can hardly be considered a "technique". Why do you hate English?

"Baud" isn't an acronym. It's just baud.

This thread is four years old. How the hell did you even find it in the first place?

Well the important thing is that you make this thread about yourself.

Uh no, the "48 sprite" part does. English harder.

Sheesh, I saw the thread title and thought someone had developed a 48-sprite kernel.

Completely wrong. Most people called them ghosts in the arcade too. Because y'know, they look like ghosts. Try this... go to Google search and type "pac man". When the suggestion list pops up, note that "pac man ghosts" is in there, but "pac man monsters" is not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghosts_%28Pac-Man%29

Because it's beyond obvious that Atari only called them that to explain why they're rectangular.
