You aren't familiar with the FN P90, or things like this guy?

Okay.
well if we're going to play make-believe and attribute some characteristics of one weapon platform onto a completely different weapon platform, why have casing eject at all? Just go with caseless rail-gun physics.

ambi-ports still have to be "set" to either left or right - the casing don't fly out of both sides.
Doesn't change the point that having a weapon with the option to eject left or right handed would make somebody chose the option of having the casings eject into their face.
"Lets see. I can either hold these weapons in opposite hands or flick a selector to make these eject the empty shells over my shoulder. Hell naw! Hot brass to the face is the way to go!"

Isn't that what we're doing by creating fictional weapon platforms for video games in the first place?

Whoa, who said they flew out both sides at the same time? That would be hilarious. Somebody definitely forgot to flip the casing directions in IM when implementing the dual wielding and that will be fixed. There's definitely no intention to have hot brass pegging you in the dome.

Heskel has a rule for all his henchmen to have the first weapon Shelly picks up to be for left handed and all subsequent pickups to be for right handed people.

Looks good as always, but I don't like the left SMG for being just a mirrored image. Would be possible to create something like this?



The reload animation has a lot of frames, so I guess it would cost a bit, but it would look better in my opinion, just like the Uzis from Shadow Warrior.

That's a nice edit.

I know it'd be a huge blowup in expense and wouldn't make any business sense at all, but it would be really cool if at some point one game developer went crazy and hired like 3 composers to produce 3 separate soundtracks for the same game all toggleable in options. Perhaps one metal, one electronic, one orchestral. Maybe even an ambient soundtrack. Totally unrelated melodically, but all of them catered to the game's experience.

Ahem

I am intrigued.

Apparently the discord warriors had their sensibilities hurt over excessive "nitpicking" on ejection ports.

So, how about a logistics query - does the character's ammo carrying capacity double when the second weapon is picked up, and how many rounds, or percentage of maximum carry-able ammo, did you burn through in that short gif?

oh, and to appease the watchers, since this is what I'm 'supposed' to care about:

oOOOooo.....aaaAAAaaa...so pretty......that's so effin awesome....I want to have your babies....

I wouldn't call it 'upset', but some people do tend to gnaw at a bone long after the flavor is gone.

On a positive note, there was talk of making "IM a realistic gun ejection port simulator instead [.] scrap all the work"


I can see the point though - I'm sure a lot of work was put into creating those weapons - just to have some knuckle-dragger make a drive-by comment can be a bit annoying.

True. So is going off-site to troubleshoot other people's comments. It used to be known as gossiping.

I carried multiple combat-grade weapons around for 20 years, Function and operation was the first thing I noticed. Then I couldn't stop noticing. Like a slo-mo train wreck. I'm a product of my environment and government brainwashing. I failed to make positive comments alongside the negative comments. Feels were ruffled. Sorry.

[MusicallyInspired]

Oh, I wasn't criticizing you. And I don't necessarily think you were being pedantic. I was moreso talking about the so-called "Discord Warriors".

It's just a miniscule part of a level, likely chosen to show off the weapon rather than the level. Don't you think you're being a bit ridiculous?

True, but the artstyle is a bit worrying. I hope for more visually attractive levels like "Disrupted Service", and not generic gray coloured bases.

I'd have to see a significantly larger portion of the level before I make judgement, but if what you're implying is correct and there's little variation, then it's just a trimmed up Brown Water. Depends on who made it.

[MusicallyInspired]

I mean, how much colour variation/vibrancy can there be in an air duct hub?

This level and DS might have more in common than you might think

There is quite a bit of amazing sector work that is easy to miss in this GIF.

Why no chill, Forge? I already agreed with you that the shells shouldn't eject into her face and had it changed.

That should be on a gun-ad in the game somewhere.

"The NEW SMG-9050. Now with smart eject!"

I also propose there's at least one sign in-game with the name "Discord Warriors" on it.

It's okay big guy, I'm past it, but at least you got a couple of your back-up singers to chime in and bring it up again, so it wasn't a complete waste of a comment.
