It's Not Megatexture'd Is It?

I Believe It Is...

#24387 posted by killpixel on 2014/05/19 22:48:33

...Judging by the size of the download and quality of environment textures from the screenhots anyway (most of which are out of focus)...

Errrrmmmm.

This, to me, sounds pretty fucking cool indeed. Is it really right that the video can be processed on one PC and streamed that that PC's quality onto a lesser PC??

As long as the main pc is a good pc and you have a fast network should be fine.

I'll have to try it later. There's likely a couple ms delay, but likely nothing terrible for most games.

Eric Brosius Sampled Quake For Thief Soundtrack?

#24395 posted by FifthElephant on 2014/05/26 03:11:14

I was mapping and listening to Thief's soundtrack when I noticed this section at 54mins 24 seconds -

Sound familiar? Sounds quite... Lifting?

#24396 posted by - on 2014/05/26 03:19:26

It's very likely the sound is from a library. Lots of game sounds are.

#24397 posted by FifthElephant on 2014/05/26 03:45:18

I wonder if that explains this...

"John Carmack Has Explaining To Do"?

Ogres have the same sight bark as the Pig Cops in DN3D. In fact a number of the monster sounds in DN3D sound like sounds from Doom, just pitch shifted.

Imp sounds from Doom 1/2 are from a set of stock sounds, too. They're recordings of a camel.

THAT DAMN JOHNNY CARMACK!!!

Stealin' all them sounds for his VIDDY-O GAMES

#24400 posted by Spiney on 2014/05/27 23:31:30

There's probably more straight-from-library stuff in games than you think.

"There's probably more straight-from-library stuff in games than you think."

I agree. They may get mixed in to get a slightly new sound but there's really only so many sounds to work with and still be identifiable to the player as being recognizable as being a certain thing happening.

Doors opening, growls and so on all have a limited set of sounds that we all can identify as being from a certain thing. I suppose someone could make a sliding pocket door sound work into the maw of some bizarre creature with pocket doors for a mouth but that would probably turn into an LSD fueled game type where the bizarre was normal and I'm not sure how that would work out.

I know I've heard Doom door sounds in movies and TV shows.

Heh

#24403 posted by DaZ on 2014/05/30 16:07:18

The Ogre aggro sound and zombie sounds appear absolutely everywhere. I've heard them in other games and tv, film etc.

I believe the ogre sounds were in Dark Souls :)

#24404 posted by JneeraZ on 2014/05/30 16:15:20

Oh, and that weird sound you hear in the background while trying to shoot Romero in the head during that final battle ... you hear that a lot in supernatural shows/movies.

also the drip sound in quake! you can recognize it by the quick cluster of drips.

Yes

#24407 posted by SleepwalkR on 2014/05/31 01:56:49

Those are very distinctive and they keep getting used in movies and TV shows.
