Brutal doom is really weird. Graphics are the same but animation are quite different. For what i could watch it's Doom2 ? It looks cool. Do you know where you can buy it ? Morrowind would be really cool. I'll try to add your pics when i can. Also where can i find it ? Thanks all for you contribution. @Kevin_sorbo Try DR HD before as it's not as good as the original and controls are REALLY clunky (it's a PC port from a TABLET game). If you can find it at 1$ go for it. But not for 10$ IMO. It's still fun. Finished it in 2hours. On December 04 2013 01:15 Kleinmuuhg wrote: monkey island! Monkey Island as been revamped ?

I didn't realise they were remade and indeed they are I bought a lot of games on sale even i don't play them because i played the pirated version. And those games gave me value at their time and now i have the money. And if i want i can redo them. But at a slow pace since i'm older now and have responsability and such On December 04 2013 14:34 ETisME wrote: I think some of the games actually lose their identity after getting the graphics updated, dunno, maybe just me though I know what you mean. I have no problems playing the old games as graphics rarely affects me. But i'm all for it because for example my GF trust me on : "This game is good" but if graphics are too outdated she doesn't want to try it. Because she never experienced old games. So i'm glad i can make her play an old game because graphics are updated. She wanted to try monkey island after finishing Runaway but it was too ugly for her. Now i can give her the revamped one. | ||

That doesn't make it the "exact same game" at all. Dota 2 is not Dota 1 with new graphics, that's silly. It's a new game even if it's very similar. | ||

The same is true of most other examples as well. As soon as you switch engine you run into stuff that doesn't work the same. Dota 2 measuring stick for if something is a bug is, did it work this way in DotA? If yes, not a bug. If no, a bug. This goes from all stats on units to interaction of abilities that are plainly illogical. With that way of looking at it you get as similar a game you can on different engines. The differences they have added are in having MM, groups, in game watching of others games and an item shop for cosmetics. | ||

For example, there's an excellent mod called Psychic which adds an RPG-like system of upgradeable secondary attacks and also purchasable items; another weapons mod called NecroDoom, which lets you pilot a mech and use weapons from the 1996 game NecroDome; and another called Nazis! which replaces all the enemies with (you guessed it) Nazis and all the weapons with WWII guns. If you're interested in custom Doom maps, you could try Back to Saturn X. It's a huge pack of levels which use a beautiful custom texture set, very finely tuned game balance, and great custom music. I'd argue it's one of the most professional custom Doom WADs (or levels/level packs) out there and a great demonstration of how great Doom can be in 2013, without necessarily being all about massive amounts of gore! These are just a few of my favourites - if anyone is interested in any more Doom files or mod suggestions, do let me know! I just feel that it's a shame that Brutal Doom gets so much of the attention these days when there is so much else out there. | ||

very promising morrowind remake (using skyrim engine), though there are probably some mechanics changes from the original | ||
