Every time I play The Ultimate Doom, Doom II, or Final Doom, I am simply amazed by the quality of id Software's design. The original Doom games sit atop the list of best pure first-person shooters...

Hahaha. Duke 3D is identical to DNF? Apparently you haven't played D3D, DNF, or either of the two.

I was hoping this would happen: http://www.gog.com/gamecard/legacy_of_kain_soul_reaver. I've made a few LoK threads on RPS and was pretty surprised by how many fans of the series are on the forum....

Who the hell pledged $5,000 to this project? I'm going to assume it's a joke for my sanity's sake.

I worked them all out shortly after my post, but "Alice" was pretty clear.

Oh, lord. The acronyms!

I'm curious as to why you picked MP2 instead of MP.

For the record, I think that Max Payne is a TPS, but I've read the argument that it is just a FPS with the camera backed up. The person argued that since Max Payne does not separate the movement of...

Having just made a thread about not-so-great games, I thought I'd follow it up by asking the RPS community to list their favorite game(s) and, if you want, give a brief explanation as to why you love...

I almost forgot about Alan Wake, but I also dislike it. I absolutely love Max Payne and, to a lesser extent, Max Payne 2. After producing those gems, I can't understand what possessed Remedy to...

I'm guessing we've all picked up games that were massively hyped, expecting to have really fantastic experiences with them, only to be bitterly disappointed and underwhelmed. For me, one such game is...

I'm not discounting RPGs. I am, however, yet to encounter an RPG that allows for the creation of a satisfactory villain. I'd happily consider any RPGs recommended in this thread, though.

That's true, though most violent games don't play any different than the ones I'm describing, in that the basic premise is killing a lot of things. The only real difference is aesthetic. In Blood,...

I tried them. They're really bad games.

I'm really disappointed by the lack of games with a villain/anti-hero protagonist. A few that come to mind are Blood, Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain, the Hitman series, and the original Call of Juarez....

I don't see how I suggested that a MW3/Skyrim clone is the only thing a developer would want to produce. I wrote that games like Skyrim and MW3, big budget games with high-end production values, are...

I didn't claim Kickstarter would be bad for developers, so I'm not sure why you quoted 'bad.' I stated that Kickstarter will not displace publisher funding, largely because Kickstarter will not...

Yes, I suppose my post got a little convoluted, so my apologies for that. The real issue is that I didn't word the OP to properly express my concerns. My ultimate point is that I do not think...

In the case of the recent successful Kickstarters, no publishers would be willing to fund the games. The publishers realize the games won't be that popular, leading to my belief that the games...

Yes, but it could be a very small profit.

I agree that there are more people willing to buy a finished product than fund a concept, which is why I included this sentence: "I can understand how Kickstarter games will develop a profit, but I ...

I've looked through other threads and posts to make sure this idea hasn't been posted before (if I missed it please let me know), but I'm questioning the potential profitability of fan-funded...

I'm not aware of the dimension-shifting in any other game, but I know Soul Reaver and Darksiders supposedly have very similar designs.

Yeah, that's why I want them to use the original voice acting. I also didn't like Soul Reaver's combat.

If they're just remaking Soul Reaver, I don't think they'll need a writer. I just hope they keep the original voice acting. There's simply no way to replace Tony Jay's resonating, textured voice:
