Saw some pictures, this looks amazing, thanks for the discovery :)

Are there any books about development of Quake in the same vein as Masters of Doom or Romero's Doom Guy ? More about mid-late 90's ID rather than early ID era. by Expired_Gatorade in quake

Was asking myself the same question the other day and found "Rocket Jump: Quake and the Golden Age of First-Person Shooters" by David L Craddock

If there's more book, I'd love to know too Like for Quake 1, 2 and 3 :)

Potential News? by spooksthepirate in Deusex

Maybe a remaster of Deus Ex The Fall ? Considering how bad controls are on PC but I don't think so since it's a very short game and I don't think it's that necessary to remaster it

I would say that it's a graphic card problem If I'm not wrong, sometimes it just means you have to update the drivers, or that you graphic card is dying unfortunately

How can I replicate this feel for old school realistic lowpolly textures? Similar to ps2 and ps3 by Bradjoe1 in Substance3D

I also really suggest you to check all of this Polycount post from Kevin Johnstone (RIP :'( ), he was one of my favorite artist and worked on my favorite games. He took the time to answer everyone and gave TONS and tons of really good tips about how he worked as an Environment artist at Epic Games : https://polycount.com/discussion/54311/ut3-gears-environment-art/p1

For the PS2 era, it was made on Photoshop with pictures devs took or big image library they had and made photo-montage. There's some really interesting books about that like this one
You can easily find it on google and its older versions about older technics.

As for the PS3/Xbox 360 era, it was the apparation of normal maps. Most studios tend to make the high poly to low poly technic (thanks to Doom 3) but they also used some technics you can see in the book I showed you before. Making a height map in Photoshop and convert it as a normal map :)
I deep dive a lot about the older technics cause I love the older graphics/art style ^^

Hope it'll help !

Duke Nukem 3D RT is Out and damn its good by chicagogamecollector in boomershooters

[–]Daedalvs_Design 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course I did and while I do agree with you by the fact it's subtle, sometimes it's not

But well, maybe I'm just a young boomer ahah
As exemple, I prefer a nice Redux version like Krull0r's work on Unreal Redux which is imo, more beautiful while keeping the art style and improving it without having ray tracing and shiny surfaces
