    Great video, but most of those games dont use ray casting but rather binary space partitioning. Doom for example.

      Thanks, and you're correct. My mistake there, I'm pinning your message for everyone to see. Thanks for the correction yo :)

      MrsRental is correct, BSP isn't mutually exclusive from raycasting. Raycasting is a method of generating the pixels, BSP is a method of sorting and working with the level geometry so that not so many surfaces need to be considered when doing rendering (whether raycasting or some other method). Earlier, grid-based raycasters (like Wolf-3D [id-tech1) didn't need BSP because their grid-based layout inherently has the kind of properties that BSP attains for more free-form geometry; some later ray-caster-esque games (like Duke 3D [Build Engine]) used Sectors/portals instead of BSP -- A sector was a small section of a map, and a portal was basically an invisible 'surface' where one section joined through with another section (say entering a hallway); you'd render the current sector worrying only about its geometry, and if any portals were in view you'd then render the sectors that they lead through to. Wall's also had height in Build Engine games like Duke 3D, and that combined with Portals are how Build does things like overhangs, countertops, the theater seats.

      @Xilefian 7 лет назад +23

      Binary space partitioning is not a rendering technique, so it would still be incorrect to say "they didn't use ray-casting, they used binary space partitioning". Some of these games probably don't even use binary-space partitioning, they may be portal-based rendering similar to Duke Nukem 3D or Bungie's Marathon.
      There isn't a solid name for the Doom-style technique as it isn't actually closer to traditional 3D rendering than people realise (some real projection is happening, albeit it is on a 2D plane with depth as meta-information). The best phrase to describe the "Doom-style" rendering (which captures Duke 3D and more) would probably be "span-rendering" - as the rendering is purely about stretching 1D textured-spans.

    • @Xilefian
      @Xilefian 7 лет назад +17

      No this is incorrect. BSP is a culling technique, ray-casting is a visibility technique (with rendering tacked on for efficiency). There is no ray-casting happening in the Doom engine or other engines of that era (Duke 3D), etc.
      There is a definite difference between what Doom/Duke/Marathon/DarkForces is doing and what Wolfenstein 3D is doing. There is zero shared code or logic between these two rendering techniques.
      BSP is not a rendering technique, it is a data partitioning scheme that makes it very quick to locate the position of an entity in the world, the actual rendering done by Doom (and similar engines) is based on projecting 2D points onto a 1D plane and then rastering 1D textured-spans based on their distance from the camera plane and height of the wall. To prove that BSP is not a rendering technique; look at the early alpha versions of Doom - these versions of Doom do NOT have a BSP, they are based on a slow search algorithm of all the visible walls on the map, Doom's BSP optimisation was written late on in its development, well after the rendering engine was completed.
      This may seem complicated to read and understand, my apologies, it is a very complex piece of computer science and one can't describe it in a RUclips comment.

    • @Xilefian
      @Xilefian 7 лет назад +6

      This description is very much correct, however MrsRental is still incorrect in saying "BSP still uses ray-casting". BSP does not use ray-casting, its nature is exactly as Michael Thompson describes. Wolfenstein 3D uses ray-casting as a visibility algorithm and slaps the rendering of pixels inside the ray-casting as an optimisation.
      It is interesting to suggest that grid-based maps do not need ray-casting. It very much depends on the target hardware - Wolfenstein 3D on the SNES is famous for not using ray-casting at all but uses a BSP and span-rastering system similar to Doom as that is generally more performant for lower-clock processors (it is weird to think that ray-casting wasn't the most optimised technique for Wolfenstein 3D in 1992, but John Carmack stands by saying despite this, it was the best choice at the time).

    It pretty much immediately struck me that it was nearly impossible to see what the hell was going on and I gave up on it after not too long. I didn't even remember that the framerate was that terrible and how completely unfitting the background music was.

    The homebrew port of Wolfenstein 3D for the Genesis is so much better than the GBA version. It's almost 100% as good as the DOS port. The music and sound effects are very good, the controls are good, the graphics don't tear, and the framerate is good.

      I ported the legit DOS versions of Doom 1 and 2 .WADS to my DS using a special cart/harddrive/Homebrew for the system....it could run them amazingly well...perfectly smooth and the controls worked great. So it shows that the system could do, at least Doom-style FPS's, very well. The only drawback was the homebrew software that ran the game DID NOT run the music....soo it was Doom without the soundtrack :(
      It is a shame they did not officially port them over, the DS was a better chance to do those titles than the GBA was.

    >Back Track being a "Doom-esque shooter"
    It's a Wolfenstein clone. It doesn't have varied elevation, variable lighting, or walls with holes in them.
    Those might seem like silly distinctions... I mean, walls with holes? What? But in Wolfenstein and Wolf clones, there were no windows you could shoot through. There were in Doom, though. Doom also introduced floors that could be set to a different elevation than the rest of the stage - allowing for platforms that could rise and fall - and different light levels throughout the stage and lighting settings, such as strobing and flickering. Dark Arena, which you mention later, utilizes all of these things, so you are correct in naming it a Doom clone.
    (Obviously, not all holes in walls are windows... thus walls with holes in them.)

    Okay, for your idea, Medal of Honor infiltrater has it's own FP view. Sure that doesn't sound like much, though I am saying that it's much more respectful to that it try to reinitiate the classic rail shoot-em-ups (not sure of the term), which works for this portable nature. It also has some impressive FMV scenes albeit a little compressed.

    I remember seeing a tech-demo video for a GBA engine port of Quake once, back in 2002. It looked pretty impressive but to be honest i doubt it would have made much sense on the GBA, who really was barely capable of handling 2,5D Games (3D games that are still using 2D technology to create a 3D effect). So games like Dark Arena and Doom were great but Duke Nukem Advance already showed that it really wasn't a good 3D platform. That being said, Doom was my first GBA game :P Simply because it was the first time Doom could be legally bought in Germany since the uncut version was still banned back then and the GBA version was censored. It was still tons of fun to play on the GBA. Thou not so much on the dark original GBA display.

    • @minimme
      @minimme  6 лет назад +1

      That's a really interesting fact about GBA Doom being the first legal Doom release in Germany, maybe that's why it was censored? (But then why did the whole world get a censored version hm)

    • @KRAFTWERK2K6
      @KRAFTWERK2K6 6 лет назад

      Well German censors never really liked violence in videogames against humans and / or human-like creatures. A lot of things have changed since then. For the better part i must say. However Zombies are still a huge problem. The censorship of Doom for the GBA was probably a request by Nintendo. It also resulted in a lower age rating of the GBA version in Germany (USK16) while the uncut version was rated USK18. That included the PC version as well as the console ports for the Jaguar, the 32X, the Saturn and the Playstation and even the SNES version. All of which were banned in Germany (including Doom II) since 1994 till 2011 when it was successfully de-banned and newly rated. This time uncut as USK16 which means teenagers at the age of 16 are legally allowed to buy the uncut version of Doom now, in every version. Even original releases can be obtained now as used copies. Before that selling these on ebay for example was not allowed for German citizens, unless you imported them.

    The GBA port of wolfenstein 3d looked accurate to me. In the day, on a PC, you'd resize the screen to smaller to get better frame rate, disable sound, screw with RAM refresh rates, and have several copies of CONFIG.SYS, whatever to play! My early experience on the computer at home, best frame rate was a 5x4 inch screen shrink(14" monitor) and internal sound speaker on a 286 clone. no music on internal speaker, as with wth GBA port. Thanks for the video, brings back memories of computer shows filled with everone playing demos of Wolf3d on PCs for sale!
