Laura Beyer’s Doom Remastered when

Laura Beyer's should be considered official CanCon (Canadian content)

I paid money for this shit in 1990-whatever (because I would buy anything that looked like a Wolf3D clone) and I got way more entertainment value from your video trashing it than I ever did trying to coerce my 486 into playing it.

Is there really enough money in meme sales to justify this insanity?

reply

Yes, it's also super cheap.

The Doom 3 comparison is apt considering the lead programmer in Kreed (Dmitry "AND" Andreev) made this 64K intro in 2003 that got 1st place in the Assembly demoparty :-P : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtJvSvQnep0

reply

badsectoracula.bsky.social•11 days ago

He also made this in 2002 which i like a bit more myself but aside from the use of stencil shadows, it is much less Doom3-y: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5teG6s8Zzq4

eatsthewholeass.bsky.social•11 days ago

I kinda hate this goofy shit though. They could be using their resources to do a full remaster of something good and obscure like Cybermage, or porting AVP from the Jaguar to modern systems, but they just do this instead.

reply

zoom-platform.com•10 days ago

That's not how it works

reply

eatsthewholeass.bsky.social•10 days ago

I have multiple sources that tell me all you have to do is push a big red button that says "REMASTER" on it.

But in all seriousness, is it an IP issue? How does one go about updating abandonware for instance?

kingsigy.bsky.social•11 days ago

Oh, the store page says it is. It has strafing, actual mouse support, a crosshair, and support for the DK Bongos. This might be okay, even if the game itself isn't very good.

We did improve, it's art now

Excuse me, what? googling right now

eocharyb.bsky.social•11 days ago

So this is how I'm finding out the Gex games are getting ported. Was Gex always this popular? What did I miss? I played like one of the 3D games as a kid and barely remember it.

reply

eatsthewholeass.bsky.social•11 days ago

Gex was popular for like a year, but now it's just known for being one of the few really good 3DO games and for the whole "say gex" thing

reply

sirusthemaddj.bsky.social•10 days ago

Gex had a cult following, sure. Most mascot platformere have their fans, though Gex certainly wasn't a mega hit in the same vein as others around at that time.

Ugly truth here is your own part in the blame. So many know it because of you - thus making the prospect of making this that much more plausible. None of us escape this life free of sin, Civvie. At least your sins are funny.

reply

nonemployee.bsky.social•11 days ago

You warned them about Redneck Rampage and Extreme ROTT as well....honestly this ""remaster"" pisses me off, because it's clearly a meme release attempting to make money because of the infamy it got from your review. Maybe that's a bit too harsh, but I can't help but feel that way looking at the page

reply

sirusthemaddj.bsky.social•10 days ago

Peaked at 500 players.

It's £5.

And you probably can still find the original DOS version for free.

But I get it. Be mad over a release of a 1994 game because you thought they only did this because of a video three years ago.

reply

nonemployee.bsky.social•10 days ago

but eh. Not like being mad about it will accomplish anything.

reply

nonemployee.bsky.social•10 days ago

Look, I would write it off, but this isn't the first time I've seen a game put on steam lazily to appeal to a specific content creator's audience. One was just the exact same game and same dev, but asset flipped to match them.

reply

sirusthemaddj.bsky.social•10 days ago

.... Do you have any idea what you're talking about? Or are you too high on your own farts that logic, facts and what goes into getting a game onto a store front? No publisher is dredging the back catalogues of YouTubers just for this.
