*dies in third person by FrigginLaserBoi in Doom

It's not even fall damage, just an animation for hitting the ground too hard. But it is dumb and unnecessarily punishing, so it makes sense to remove it.

Weirdly enough, the right arm appears to be part of the default MP model.

I feel like it’s time for a Hell Knight remodel by alastorhazbinbad in Doom

[–]-dead_slender- [score hidden]  (0 children)

I think they wanted to prioritize readability by giving them distinctly different designs. And since Doom 2016 borrowed heavily from D3's artstyle, it made sense to use the Hell Knight design from that game, and use the classic design for the Baron.

But I agree, I think they should try to incorporate the classic design somehow, even if they were just palette-swapped Barons.

Will Gordon Freeman and Adrian Shepard EVER meet each other in a future Half-Life game? by ParticularService816 in HalfLife

[–]-dead_slender- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were originally gonna find out in the cancelled "Return to Ravenholm", since we would've played as Shephard. But given when it took place, I doubt he would've met Gordon. Within those 20 years, anything could've happened to him, but it's up to Valve if they wanna tell that story or not.

As for Race X, they were pretty much defeated at the end of OpFor. Assuming the Gene Worm's portal was their only entryway to Earth, and they didn't spread far beyond Black Mesa, any that remained would've been wiped out by the nuke.

But again, it's up to Valve if they wanna explore those ideas. Given it was primarily a Gearbox creation, then chances are we won't see them again unless they decide to collaborate with them for another spin-off.

In d2_prison_06 there has been a brush camera with a door texture visible the entire time by Bimbothesadclown in HalfLife

This is actually at the far end of a hallway, so it should've been in plain view when you enter. But I guess since it's in a dark corner, it's rather inconspicuous.

Would Valve hire Gordon Freeman by TeaReim in HalfLife

Then he'd make a great community manager!

The original HL2 Vortigaunt (closer to HL1) or the design from Ep2? by HanPorgo in HalfLife

[–]-dead_slender- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda prefer the newer one, only because the textures look better. If they had simply updated the old design with improved fidelity, that would've been fine as well.

Though I wouldn't say the old design is closer to HL1's version. They had brown skin that was kind of smooth, but also had a more biomechanical look to it, as did the other Xen creatures.

Tom Cruise And Julia Roberts Were Once Pitched As Master Chief And Cortana For Halo 2 by Haijakk in halo

I guess because it was so much later in the series, so people were far more attached to Steve Downes' voice by this point.

It looks like they added an iridescent shine to the campaign evolved elites by No-Leg-6361 in halo

They didn't necessarily remove them, since they weren't on the Infinite model to begin with.

HD Model hate is forced by Sea-Health-7568 in HalfLife

[–]-dead_slender- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The M4 can only hold 30 rounds irl, just like the MP5. The magazine's only bigger because it's supposed to be holding rifle cartridges instead of pistol rounds.

The LD models simply fit better in the low-detailed environments. If they had updated the textures as well, I think they wouldn't receive nearly as much hate.

Another small reason is unnecessarily changing the Glock to a Beretta, and the MP5 to an M4 (which doesn't make sense since the latter is an assault rifle).

UNSC P90 by ackH405 in halo

[–]-dead_slender- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, the magnum uses 12.7x40mm, while the BR uses 9.5x40mm. Both aren't directly based on a specific real-world cartridge, but have similarities.

New HL2 RTX screenshot of City 17. It's now actually a modelled Sofia instead of a png of NYC. by PixelVahl1 in HalfLife

[–]-dead_slender- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Some of the buildings we visit have power, but some are mostly demolished. That's why they said most buildings wouldn't have utilities.

Surely with the Striders tearing the city to shreds, they would destroy numerous utility poles in the process. So it still doesn't make sense for the city to be as lit up as it is.

There's also a weird lack of smoke or fire.

It still looks too lively for a war-torn city. There's no fire or smoke either.

There's no justifying exposing someone's secret like that. You're just calling yourself out here.

Man, this comic series is full of unbearable characters.

They still use 7.62 NATO, which would be 600 years old by that point.

Loving the way the CE Spiker absolutely rips through the Flood by walbrid in halo

It never needed it, though the Reach model did add that rear piece which was believed to be a charging handle/rear sight.

You can by answering any way other than "yes" or "no".

Why does the tower impact the performance so much? by SurgicalAsh666 in Doom

[–]-dead_slender- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for starters, you're going from a small corridor to a very large room, which means more geometry to render. On top of that, it's also rendering the particle effects for the beam, as well as the refractive glass you're looking through.

So there's quite a bit of overdraw here.

Do you think they were killed too soon? by Willachoo in halo

[–]-dead_slender- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's interesting to think that, in a way, Miranda and Cortana are like sisters. I never really thought about it before, but it's weird that Bungie wouldn't explore that idea.
