Other PC Games Thread.
So with the film and music threads still going and being discussed... why don't we get some discussion going on something on topic to the board? What other games are you playing now?

It's Visually Stunning But 
It's very puzzle oriented. Combat is unforgiving. Mostly Giger but plenty of other visual references throughout and yes BeksiƄski is represented. I stopped playing as I have other games that are higher on my list right now. 
 
I think this is part of getting old, but I just can't play any new games. They all feel like mediocre attempts at movie-making, completely misusing the interactivity available to them. Cutscene here, press buttons in sequence, cutscene there, press different buttons in different sequence.

Got a PS5 recently and been playing the Plus Catalog. Everything sucks. The games are simply not fun, they are just tech demos. Death Stranding is a joke. Horizon, The Surge, Days Gone, Uncharted, all repetitive and boring. Demon's Souls was the only title that had some fun in it, but quickly weared out.

Back to PC, spin up Q1 or Q3 and it's just pickup, have fun. 
 
It Will Be Realised Someday 
 
So there's no developer or anything yet, just McGee's drawings.

"Each new concept image can cost between $750 and $1200 depending on the style, complexity of the image, and artist in question."

1 concept picture = $1200? Crikey.

Anyway, yes here's hoping, but could be years away. I was never really into the puzzles in these games and it looks like this will be mostly puzzles/exploration, only 20% combat, but the art was always good for it's time. A new Alice game to current standards could look amazing. 
End Of The Adventure

that's a bummer. alice was a great game. 
 
what are the best looking Q3A levels? q3gwdm1 and q3gwdm2? 
 
It might not be for everyone but http://lunaran.com/maps/quake3/lun3dm5/ blew me away. Loved reading about how it was created too 
 
Q3A: there is limited number of bots to select from. how do I add a bot w/ certain skin like Stroggo, Krusade or Roderic pls? what console command does that? thanks 
 
there is something about skins under addbot command in this http://www.joz3d.net/html/q3console.html how-to but what is the correct syntax pls? can not get it working 
 
I don't think that is possible. The bots and their models/skins are defined in bots.txt file, main game has one in pak0.pk3 file. Some community made maps usually also have bots added like that in their own .pk3 files. And if these bots are defined in these scripts, they can be easily added through the GUI menu without any console commands.

If you use addbot command in Q3A, it shows you the syntax:

]\addbot
Usage: Addbot <botname> [skill 1-5] [team] [msec delay] [altname]

<botname> is the bot entry from bots.txt file. As you can see, with this command you can't add a bot with different skin, only different name, like for example

\addbot orb 3 blue 50 Eye

will add a bot with name Eye which is really just Orb (model, skin, sounds, etc). 
 
possible to play Q3 Team Arena w/ the OG vanilla game HUD pls? 
 
no way to have smooth Q3A aiming (VSync OFF) and smooth bot movement (VSync ON) at the same time pls? I do not see any frame cap option neither in-game nor in config... 
 
found it, so VSync OFF and com_maxfps 125 is the smoothest overall solution for 85Hz screen? 
 
are there some stunning-looking Q4 maps to play against bots pls? 
 
Team Arena: I can not play against vanilla game bots, they all look like Ursula, half the new bots also load as Ursula. is it a bug or a feature pls? other way to fix it than reinstall? thanks 
 
ok, cg_deferPlayers needs to be set to 0 in config file 
 
 
Brutal Lab *.pk3 map file somebody pls?
