Infinite Doom - Part 7.1 (Japanese Community Project, Final Doomer+, War Trophies, and more)
0The RPG/RLA combo will still be there, but I wanted to hit up another of the Final Doomer+ map packs. Last time we took a look at what Russia had come up with, so today we're heading to Japan. Unfortunately, due to a late start I wasn't able to get in as much time as I'd like, but so far I really like what I see. These maps are using textures in combinations I hadn't seen before, but they look really good. Some remarkable looking set pieces as well. A lot of custom textures, including taking stuff from Hexen etc., help as well. At this point, that's nothing we haven't seen before. Even some of the new textures we've seen used elsewhere, like in Whitemare. I guess I'm more used to the days when people built their own per wad (says the person who ripped graphics from Strife for a project he worked on). But it's good to see the extra graphics 'in the community' as it were.
As for the weapons, it's another set that I'm not a big fan of so far. This one is designed around changing some of the gameplay, specifically this needle gun that weakens enemies, which you then are supposed to swap to something else to finish off. Though I'm wondering if these things are thrown together more for aesthetics than for how they work together, especially these weapons in conjunction to this map pack. Ah well, we'll see how it turns out. And, worst case scenario... I can always just use the Hellbound set that I loved so much. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/the_nametag
