So you're saying there's a chance

Sometimes it sort of feels like D&D, I guess?

There's a pretty cool skybox here but ALAS you cannot see it because the screenshots save at 0 brightness (and also because I failed to apply a dozen patches)

Spoiler

whoa grimdark

feels like prisoner of ice all over again

ah, finally a friendly NPC!

OMG HE'S NOT ACTUALLY FRIENDLY

this skaarj muthaship also looks much less imposing after screen capture, too bad because it gives off major x-files vibes

ah, the sudden all-ammo dump right before the grand finales

I'M COMING FOR YOU, ASSHOLES

i hope these ugly alien larvae don't expect me to leave them alive

burrrrn baby burn

the cool thing about the skaarj queen fight is that you get infinite super-jump boots to bounce around the arena like a retard (just have to look out not to get instagibbed by the instagib green energy tubes)

eat shit and die!

Unreal is great because it really allows me to behead all skaarj, including their women AND children!

looks like my ride off this rock

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

ah fuck

 

[Hag]

Another kind of tourist trophy.

There should be an achievement for such a feat.

Actually, only the wrapper for the renderer is necessary (and it lets you make regular screenshots with correct gama, as it can output in Direct3D 11 or 12).

Especially for you, without the C.R.T. filter (but the dithering stays, it just stands out more because of the scaling and LCD monitors):

Admittedly, the skies do look better in 32-bit mode which would have become available in the later added renderers anyway (though the colours seem to look better in 3dfx):

[janior]

imo unreal looks way better with some glide wrapper, dx has way too dark color palette

The original Direct3D renderer also needs dgVoodoo or maybe alternatively the Old Unreal patch for its gamma to function correctly, otherwise it's stuck on a level that's too dark. Still, even with correct gamma, it looks a little flat and desaturated compared to Glide. The updated ones (Direct3D and primarily OpenGL) included with the Old Unreal patch should be accurate.

What game? And is that the Giant's Causeway?

I'm trying to work out if the angle makes sense for that to be Dunluce Castle in the distance

Kinda optimistic I guess.

Nice to see Prosper making getting his graphics into a game, even if it's the giant statues in the background.

I'm done with Arcane Dimensions and played through every map on Nightmare except the test maps. Some screens of my favorites:

ad_mountain

Equip the ring!

ad_swampy

Insanely complex village thing.

Of course, you only get the RL after you've reached the rooftops. It's a shame, many of the maps won't give you the most fun weapon in the game until the map is almost over. Or I missed the secrets.

Grendel's Blade

Spoiler

Cool vertical map built around a giant sword. If you find all the runes you can destroy the blade. But the following battle is kinda lame.

The Realm of Enceladus

Too bad the lighting doesn't look that good with the soft shadows.

Terror Fuma

Base with spider infestation.

The Forgotten Sepulcher

Yeah, fuck that! I swear, this map changes over time. I kept finding secrets in places I was sure I'd already checked before.

Nyarlathoteps Sand Castle

Secret!

These enemies should have been used more often.

Ak-Alakha

This is basically just one complex arena that you slowly progress through upwards. But this was also the only time I found the combat to be somewhat challenging with nasty monster placement.

Sir!

The end.

But my initial excitement has now almost vanished. I just happened to have randomly picked the most impressive map first (Tears of the False God), and then continued with the other maps in chronological order, oldest first. Most of them are also pretty good. There are only two that I disliked, ad_magna and ad_lavatomb, made by Noel Lacaillade. Both have rather boring combat and progression, and lavatomb is also outright prosper.
I don't know what it is, but after I was halfway through AD's maps, it started to feel more like "going through the motions".

Is this what the mod looks like out of the box or did you have to add more stuff to get those graphics?

From the Give Credit Where It's Due Dept.:

This does look almost Moria-like.

Underdark is the best part of the game.

we tomb raider now?

these cute swinging crushing jaws would suggest as much

as would this lava pit under them

actually we quake 2 now

As I suspected, you have had the problem with both lightmaps blending and the skies looking wrong all along. It causes the world geometry to look darker than it should, while the layers of the skies just don't combine right. It's an old problem, though, so you may have seen the game like this not long after its release.

Here's the same scene on emulated Voodoo 1 (or Direct3D, or OpenGL without MultiTextures and OneXBlending):

Using Voodoo 2 does make the window on the right more transparent, though. Here's a screenshot from dgVoodoo with the same gamma ramp for comparison:

 

[Strange Fellow]

Here we are, in a situation where my ship's lazorz aren't powerful enough to penetrate the flagship's shields, but all its weapons have been taken down by boarding parties. So now we're just sitting here, neither capable of damaging the other.

If it were any other ship I could jump away, but the flagship has to be destroyed. RIP this run. It was going so well.

It's TT Isle of Man : Ride on the Edge 2.
The screenshot comes from the free roam mode that is supposed to take place in Ireland, but I think it's a mix of different places. Here is the full map :

 

[Kabas]

Ashes: Afterglow

More Ashes

Nukes were involved last time my bike got stolen, just saying

A quick and simple death is not enough for me, huh?! Rotten muties

It was nice of them to keep all of my upgraded weapon collection in one place tho

You can skip the entire key hunting sequence on this map by using this route.
Cool but why would you want to miss out on a potential loot/junk though?

"Hmm... Fresh victims for the evergrowing army of the undead."

The town ruins are my most favourite locations here. They're all very pretty and are fun to explore.

The next part was a bit painful indeed

Ok, i did not expect this.
