Digital Foundry Retro Discussion [2021]

@swaaye shared this video of an Alien game, 'cos the other day marked the 7th anniversary of Alien Isolation launch date.



Also wanted to share this video, which seems impressive for the time.

Alien Resurrection trailer (PS1) - YouTube

This game reminds me of my second favourite alien game, Alien vs Predator. The marine campaign was superb. I couldnt believe it when I got it "for free". I purchased the Sound Blaster Live! and I noticed that it was bundled with Alien vs Predator. It wasnt typical at the time, iirc.

 

Hello, does anyone know what is the native resolution of "Cars 3 Driven to Win" on Nintendo Switch in tv mode please ?

 

I think you would be if you had a forcefeedback wheel

 

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart. I recently discovered this game thanks to a youtuber.

The game uses the Doom engine and it's a blast!

You can download it here. It's sooooo fun.

SRB2Kart has been released « Sonic Robo Blast 2 – Official Website



Also the game allows you to use hundreds of mods featuring new characters, like Fatal Fury staff, or 2B, Link from Zelda, etc etc etc.

It also has a very successful Discord server with thousands of users.

There was also a racing game done in Quake
Quake Rally

 

heheeheh superb. The mod still exists.

Quake rally mod - Mod DB

From what I've seen, there is a Quake 3 Rally mod too.

I'd love a Quake 3 or Doom 3 kart mod tbh.

 

Had never seen the full demo, only pieces of it. Good old times

 

Thats just amazing for 1999 tech, wow. Its a tech demo, but still, its realtime.
Take a look at this one.

 

A tech demo but it was surpassed by games then (silent hill, ffx-xii...)
Same for the water tech ! (Splashdown)

 

the first tech demo with the birds was for randomized path movement if I recall.
There was also another one I cant find which I think had an hourglass and a few other objects on a desk!
I really want to find that one.

 

DF retro play , halo combat evolved on original xbox

 

The first game is still the best one imo.

 

Thanks DF, a 6th gen retro video

 

Probably had to maintain full control of both VUs for some of those more physical tests.
