    The resolution thing is interesting. They want to store the resolution in a single 32 bit word, with the height in the first 16, and the width in the second. So they have you multiply the height by 65536 (2^16) to shift it over 16 bits, then add the width, setting the width to the second 16 bits. Stuff like that is a way to save memory. It's not much, but it adds up. Strange that they'd do it in a game from 2006 though.

    I don't know if you've done one on sniper elite but after currently replaying 3 and 4 with no red diamond I'm realizing the majorly impressive replay value. I enjoyed 3 and 4 but finished and forgotten. During this game drought I decided to try them again with no red diamond and I'm loving it. Learning wind and bullet drop in relation to distance or ammo type is fun to learn, frustrating at first, but your first 350 high wind kill in the first shot is immensely satisfying.

    To be fair, the way resolution is stored makes sense (given that it was supposed to be an internal representation that user should never see): it is two 16 bit numbers stored as one 32 bit number - the width is first, so you need to shift it 16 bits to the left, which is the exact same as multiplying it by 2^16 or 65536 and then add the second number without modifying it

  • @fsmcas
    @fsmcas 5 лет назад +4

    BAck then when it came out we loved it for its physics. Not that they are especially great, but the game used soooo many objects that got pushed around, dropped, were blown away.... physics were somehow new and Übersoldier really used them. Often in a ridiculous way (some boxes in a hallway, enemies run through it and they fly around) but it was so cool to see more than just some ragdolls and here and there a box. Dynamic objects were everywhere and that was the main reason the game was fun :D
    Not anymore, tho. It's nothing special nowadays. But it has been!

    Well, it was a game from Burut Studios, infamous in Russia for "Kreed" - The "Doom killer" from 2003. They had it all: heavy sci-fi lore and kilobytes of text on in-game monitors, graphics downgrade, bad voice acting, etc. But, this "Uber Soldier" series shown that they can do better. Bit by bit, but they can. Unfortunately, along comes World Financial Crisis and russian game development's died((
    Yet, there are another couple of Russian/Ukrainian studios which made far from ideal but still memorable PC-shooters:
    Orion - "Hellforces" (2004/ Begun in zombie infested city streets, continued in underground secret labs, through Columbian jungles, straight to the Alien ship & ends up in Hell);
    "Metro-2: Stalin's Subway" (2005/ The 1950-s Moscow and soviet conspiracy);
    "The Hunt" (2008/ Condemned look-alike).
    Mandel ArtPlains/Digital Spray Studios - "You Are Empty" (2006/ The experiment goes wrong in the big soviet city - all citizens' mutated).
    Action Forms - "Chasm: The Rift" (1997/ Great Quake/HeXen 2 look-alike);
    "Cryostasis" (2008/ Great atmospheric action/horror).

    Regarding the resolution situation.
    For DX7-8-9 games, you can use DgVodoo to run the games in DX11 or DX12.
    DgVodoo also handles resolution scaling like a native SSAA implementation. So you get all benefits of 4K for example on a 1080p screen, but no UI is misaligned or scaled improperly. (think of FEAR 1 and its ridiculously small subtitles at high resolutions. Even arguably, 1080p)
    Would've worked for this game also. Probably.

    I can't get over how friggin weird the first person view models are.
    Like he's not even remotely pointing the gun forward, he just sort of awkwardly pointing it at the center of the screen. (Maybe this is a result of the fov change, but it's still weird)

    This is one of those games like Gore of Gunman Chronicles that seems like it was killed by its own ambition

    I personally feel republic commando aged very well on the PC, heck I still feel it was ahead of it's time.

    So this is basically a worst version of Wolfenstein 2009 directed by Micheal Bay's long lost Russian brother?

      It's more like a worse version of return to castle wolfenstein.

      With bad voice acting, but not the fun kind like 1996's Resident Evil. No Jill Sandwiches. :(

    I thought this was a game about a soldier and working for Uber. So misinformed.

    I honestly feel like the voice actor behind this is a big Tommy Wiseau fan
