Re: Weren't sound artists frustrated to know that very few players would be hearing the true sound of their creations?

Posted on 2024-04-25, 03:13

I recall reading something about how a composer for early Sierra games (Ken Allen or Mark Seibert maybe?) only worked for them because they could use the MT-32 since it allowed for better sounding compositions. Not sure if they were overly concerned with how many people who hear that music, so much …

Re: What is the LAST 5 DOS Game ever made for DOS?

One of my favorite games made during the twilight years of DOS was Heroes of Might and Magic II: The Price of Loyalty expansion pack. I believe it came out in May of 1997, and received several patches after that. On a side note, when fully patched, that game has the most up to date version of the …

I think I'll try the "Burial at Sea" DLC next since it sort of ties into the main story, at least from what I've been told. Tried this briefly. You get to revisit Rapture and can even carry multiple weapons at once, which is nice. However, the game still uses the shitty checkpoint system. After a …

Finished BioShock Infinite . There was a pretty big difficulty spike near the very end, when you're supposed to protect the power core of an airship from multiple enemy waves. It's not hard in the sense that you'll get wiped out. More so, it's difficult to keep the enemies from damaging the core, …

Made it to Comstock's house in BioShock Infinite . Things are progressing faster than I initially expected. I will say, the story got a bit too outlandish for my taste, with the alternate realities and all. It's not quite Kojima levels of crazy, but it's not too far off either. Combat continues to …

Things are moving forward in BioShock Infinite now that I've gotten over the motion sickness. Having two characters working together is interesting. The dynamic between Booker and Elizabeth kind of reminds me of Joel and Ellie from The Last Of Us. Both games were released around the same time, so …

Why would one actually use the 2MB or 4MB sets when the 8MB is available? Is it a question of RAM used or am I missing something? Apparently, the 8MB set has some issues with MT-32 emulation. And yeah, in the old days when many PCs had 32MB RAM total, some people would have used a smaller ECW set.

Seems like you solved the problem, but it's worth mentioning that lower FOV settings can also make people nauseous. I remember playing Half Life 2 in 15 minute sessions because I would get sick pretty quickly. Yeah, that came up when I was googling the issue. Unfortunately, even maxing out the FOV …

Made a bit of progress in BioShock Infinite but I encountered an unexpected issue. Turns out the game gives me motion sickness when I play with a keyboard and mouse. I googled this, and it seems I'm not the only one with this problem. I think it has something to do with how the game makes the camera …
