Classical FPS clearly sets the frame limiter to 35 fps, like in Doom, the Classical FPS

I think that's a more recent thing, a lot of older games let you pick between 2x, 4x, and 8x MSAA. And I think I prefer that to Low, Med, High.

no you wouldn't

And I'd love my anisotropic filtering to be at the elusive "3X" samples.

Same here, I know I've played this but only on PS2, and this feels super familiar. Maybe something else from the era, Hitman 2 or something

Is Force Object LOD like Force Meat? *shudders*

genuinely hilarious

i swear older games are just built differently......mostly by insane people

"Allow Gamma" clearly is asking if you would like to play as The Incredible Hulk or not.

a W-buffer is like a Z-buffer the difference is that Z-buffering allocates more bits to the middle of the render window whereas W-buffering is uniform and I can only assume Force Object LOD means forcing it to minimum given the age of this game

No one can be told what the options do. You have to see them for yourself.

Still thinking about this and just realized that "W-Buffer" is how they explained "double buffering" which is wild 😂

this really makes me just want to make a bunch of fake shitty esoteric game launchers now, thank you for this 😂

You sound like an optometrist, except for graphics*. Come to think of it, tho, they kinda ARE adjusting the graphical settings and asking you which one runs better on your machine🤔 *Gonna assume this was your intention

W buffer is actually like.. a more accurate z buffer.. rather than storing non-linear values, it divides the distance between the near and far plane in to even chunks, so it's a little more accurate with depth distribution

They just shipped it with the devopers' debug menu, didn't they...

allowing gamma turns you into the hulk, watch out

my settings menu feels like this rn. i gotta fix my words

and what does Safe Mode do???

I remember that! One of those settings made Serif's glasses square.

Almost pissed myself laughing reading the ending of this post

classical fps means you gotta turn a crank to make the frames progress

Wachowski buffer

I played this game on xbox and I'm so glad I did now hahaha W-buffer is a scaled Z-buffer field to give better distribution of precision I'm guessing "Classical FPS" has to do with a less accurate way of calculating frames per second I'm guessing force LOD means force max LOD? lol

How does it run on modern hardware? I mean, it was a psuedo finished mess at released from what I recall, but I remember enjoying it.

My particle threshold goes to 111

Kinda want this on a shirt now

Puts my favourite menus to shame youtu.be/s62uIzqTwNU?...

its to make you feel like cypher so, past a certain point, you don't even see the options as weird and can be fully immersed in the roleplaying experience

So immersive the settings look really like they were straight off the computers in Nebuchadnezzar

The billboards are all mid tone grey rectangles (unless you unchecked Allow Gamma of course)

Honorable mention to "Lentitud Arma" and "Dejar Cuerpos" 🤣🤌

Almost thought this was a bit but nope you've got people in 2003 wondering what the fuck this stuff is

If Classical FPS did anything other than load up Doom2 with Matrix.wad I would be deeply disappointed...

If you say no, it becomes a Zork-style text-based FPS

Far Clip Bias I dunno if that actually has a real reason but I never saw a setting like that for a PC game so it feels unneeded.

W buffer better than L buffer I guess

i hope if you set it to "no" it force quits the launcher
