I've often found good music enhances a game (Quake, Alice, Gothic3, Doom3 etc)
err... quakemod.pk4/sound/sonic_clang/ beef_rock.ogg (has to be replaced by a dummy file apparently) Metl, is this bullshit with the Vital Information Concealing Ellipse of Doom ever going to go away?
(Yeah, you can read the path anyway. I'm still annoyed.) Tucked away in the pak, ha.
Just deleting it seemed to work. D3's original music was minimal dark amb style, it fitted well. ..always there to shout out loud what us mere mortals are afraid to whisper... That music plain sucks!
nothing beats a good pumping soundtrack while playing a game. I wish games would start going back to using actual music during gameplay and stop with the ambient music/sound stuff. That may work for movies, but action games need a higher level of adrenaline and the music needs to reflect that.
Sorry, but I had to quote this just for the sake of laughter. http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?s=6ad83f12de3d671777e87953e7710f13&p=1334869383&postcount=17 It is so much better with proper dark ambient...! Because I gave away my copy of Doom3, but;
Remember the shitty music from Painkiller? After turning the crap off I found that weeks of finely crafted sound work had been hidden by a crappy soundtrack. I mean, more Painkiller than Quake but a great job nonetheless. Only the music was bad -- it reminded me a lot of Quake 2 :-( Some of the monster models and mannerisms were a bit off but I liked having the ability to (finally) shoot Voreballs away :-) Awesome job on the boss and hairless Shamblers, BTW!
Impressive! ..always there to shout out loud what us mere mortals are afraid to whisper... That music plain sucks!
Well I might seem flamboyant in my criticism of the music, but it is genuine. I was actually surprised just how much it affected my experience. Thus it needed some emphasis. As a comparison, the textures in Madfox's recent map were a flaw that detracted a bit, but they most certainly didn't spoil the overall experience. Anyway, I played this without the music, and it's a great little map, if a little silent (but that is infinitely preferable). My earlier compliments still stand, although I would like to add: It has a good Quake atmosphere sans music, the general flavour, style, and some of the gameplay is quite evocative of the ol' Q. Monsters are generally well done - and well balanced., weapons are generally less so. The gameplay is good, although there could have been more ambushes in places, it felt a bit sparse sometimes for us veterans. On the other hand the "trapped with Vores" room and the underground Shamblers room were fairly spicy. Just a good honest map that does a good honest job of D3 meets Quake (sans you-know-what). Played it a while ago. Thought it was really really good, almost pretty much what I expected a Quake to Doom3 port would look like. The music I didn't mind, but I hated how the fiends had eyes. Boooo. Oh, and it was in no way 30 minutes worth of gameplay, maybe 15 at the max. Still, it was a lot of fun and felt right too. Classic level layout that looped around on itself.
Scrags = r4wk. I always thought of them as being ears, also...
Though I could see how they would work as horns, too. What fiendish antennae you . .
Is that what you say when making love to a fiend? I usually begin with a 'Relax, this may hurt a little but you'll get use to it', but different strokes for different folks, and, hey, you go with your strengths, mine just happen to be a skinny set of knuckles. Ears that point straight forward and are covered in blood? What the fuck is wrong with you people.
As some stupid shit a producer stuck on the front of the completed artists model to make it look scary.
Very scary; shitty producer inspired modelling.
