Everyone that downvoted that post just downvoted Iron Maiden and Motorhead. You guys are lame.

Agreed. I don't know how many times I thought metal was just so out of place in various things. IM and Motor all the way!

[Jimmy]

Metal is way too oversaturated in our culture right now. It's just as bad as this crappy pop music. For every good metal band, there are two hundred shitty ones.

I wonder if you can even list ten metal bands that you believe are shitty.

[Kathy]

Maybe we should go someplace else? Can comeone create "Discussing metal music" thread and move all the messages there? That would be fantastic.

Wow, what a shitty intro... Screaming "RETRO" interlaced logo(why? PC was progressive since late 80s) with a completely out of place metal music.

Absolutely agreed.
If you want to update that intro, at least update it entirely and make it look different.

Metal in and of itself is not lame. It's just that - usually - it doesn't quite work for covering old game songs. Usually. IMO.

Actually it works wonders on doom music remakes but that's probably because the old doom music was based on metal in lots of instances.

In the case of the Apogee theme it doesn't work because it was never really a metal theme. (They did it in a jazzy-rock form for one of the games back in the day) But it's really supposed to be a symponic orchestral piece. THAT would have sounded awesome.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

Those weapon renders look nice, but I'm not a big fan of them. A bit too busy and futuristic. They looked like they've been ripped from Quake 4 or somesuch game.

[rasmus thorup]

I think they look awesome.

Thats just basically how Interceptor has been designing things since Duke Nukem Reloaded. "Hyper-next-gennish" with lots of excessive greebly stuff on things.

At the least there's similarities with the original in terms of color. In any case "It's a rocket launcher, son, don't make it complicated."

[Tetsuo]

The original rocket launchers for the original game weren't exactly retro either in their styling except for perhaps the standard bazooka a little. At any rate none of them looked like WWII weapons.

Not much to bitch about. They compare it to the original sprites and they look perfect. Hyper-next-gennish or not. They are great adaptations. Its called weapon design people. Its modern conceptual art. If it ain't busy, its boring. Nothing seems real unless there seems like life exists in where it shouldn't, and imperfections exist where they should.

Why are they suppose to look like WWII weapons?

I can't help how I feel, I'm sorry. Nothing is above a teeny bit of criticism. I'm just calling it how I see it. I'm otherwise impressed with the progress of this project.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't criticizing you either. haha Just pointing out modern weapon designs for games.

Today is 10/11/12 - that's good of an excuse as any to get drunk! Just don't fire this!

That's right, it's the D.R.U.N.K missile! The next weapon to be added to the growing H.U.N.T arsenal!

The gatling-like design helps to pump out its unguided payload of death at a rate of fire that was simply unimaginable back in 1995! At least that's what this one fat monk told us...

*All concept art is subject to change. Final in-game weapons may be considerably more awesome

I was referring to how the original game was a spinoff or was originally supposed to be a sequel to Wolf3D but was changed since John Carmack canned it so they changed the Nazis into cultists but kept the nazi look. I didn't say they where supposed to I just said they don't have to especially since it's not set in WWII era after all since someone said they thought the new rocket launchers looked too futuristic.

Will this game support tesselation?
I doubt it will so I just wanted to point out that even though this weapon looks good, I think they are overdoing it with the polygon count optimizations.
I haven't seen such optimizations on a hud weapon model since 2004.
I'm pretty sure that an fps game can run just fine on today's general hardware even if you don't get so greedy with the polycount on the hud weapons.
I've always thought that if you want to optimize 3d models for an fps game, focus on everything else before the hud weapon models.
If the hud weapon models appear low poly, people will be more tempted to perceive the entire game as being low poly and outdated.
I really think this weapon could have had more polygons to it, at least on the big parts that are supposed to be round.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

That's cute that the firebomb has a warning label on it, no matter what it says. Little touches of demented humor like that always make me smile.

The "High poly" on your paint over is actually the LowPoly, used for the In-game FPS view.
The one to the right on the screenshot is the Third Person model, which is used for pickups as well.
The shot is just a snippet of a magazine exclusive where the models were accidentally swapped.

Ok thanks for mentioning that.
