I seriously don't think this game gets enough credit. It basically invented the combat system used in a bunch of AAA titles today. Like the Batman games. Sure they have been refined and improved it, but it was revolutionary at the time.

omg the Neverhood.

[–] glorkon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I still use the song "Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong" from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.

Wait, those games came on CD? I thought they came as ISOs with a nocd_patch.exe

[–] Acidbath@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I didnt know oni was on pc. Ive been playing it recently on ps2 and let me say the movement in that game is amazing.

[–] Arkhive@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

I recently went through getting it to run on Linux. It’s one of the only Bungie games I haven’t played. Shockingly in depth combat, I’m enjoying it, but I’m bad at combo based fighting games, so I’m playing it in very bite sized pieces.

Man, my brother and I were obsessed with the Neverhood back in the day. That game was so weirdly satisfying

I swear one day I'll beat it.

I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child

[–] eluvatar@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

That game is so good, one of my early gaming memories

Looove Dues Ex. I just looked up The Neverhood, and it looks so interesting. Definitely going to need to watch a long play of that.

Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.

But I admire your hate version.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Rockstar is pretty shitty to devs, but okay, the Midtown Madness devs did have a glow up because they were under new management

I just recenly learned about Oni 2s leaked prototype existence and I'm salty that they piecemealed that IP into oblivion.... HOWEVER...Oni's engine would become the RAGE engine that powers and gave life to GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 (...and perhaps GTA VI..?)

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

That's interesting, I didn't know it was the basis for the Rage engine. Thanks.

[–] splinter@lemm.ee 10 points 1 day ago

Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.

I don't remember that Oni game by Bungie. That cover art looks nice.

[–] astrsk@fedia.io 32 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Bungie’s Oni was really good for the era. Right before halo and when they were still releasing games for Mac. Think I still have that disc in storage somewhere alongside my Mac copy of Halo CE.

Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It's amazing that it is in such good condition.

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I used to play one of those demo disc games where you get to fly an aircraft and do missiona, but back then i had bo clue what the mission was i was just happy being able to fly.

I never stopped playing games, i was always taught that you can't pilot when you're colorblind so i was convinced video games would allow me to do things real life would never let me.

Skyrim really caught me and after that cyberpunk took it's place, i just love being rewarded for your work and getting to do cool shit with that money.

Real life barely feels like you're being rewarded anymore imo.

Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.

The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.

Some classics in there for sure. For those that haven't played it, Oni was a quiet favorite of mine from around then. I don't think it got a lot of attention at the time, or even today. This was Bungie near the end of its Mac-first pre-Halo era.

I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.
