Oni was a slapper. Would love to see it done justice. Not by Bungie though.
Rockstar acquired Oni to get its proprietary engine and killed its sequel, Oni 2 because they got what they wanted
Or, Angel Studios became Rockstar San Diego and they made Red Dead Revolver instead.
But I admire your hate version.
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..?)
Oni still had better hand to hand combat gameplay than all of those games though 😅
Boo rockstar. That game’s mechanics were some of the most fun I ever experienced. It was absolutely crying out for a sequel.
I absolutely loved Oni. I didn't own a copy for a while but I'd play it round a friends house once a week.. Those fighting mechanics just felt so tight (for the time) and the gun play was weighty and responsive.
Shame to hear about the fate of Oni 2 from here, I had no idea
The Never Hood is so good.
Fuck yeah Neverhood!
omg the Neverhood.
I still use the song "Operator Plays a Little Ping Pong" from the Neverhood OST as my ringtone. Never fails to amuse.
My favorite was always "dum da dum doi doi."
Everybody waaaaiiill
5-ball, corner pocket.
Potaties, love
My gravy, love
Potaties, love
My gravy, love
Potaties and my gravies and pa-peas...
I thought neverhood was just a fever dream I had as a child
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.
Oni is so good.
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.
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.
Neverhood was a fantastic experience. If you like puzzlers.
And that soundtrack was so good
Bandcamp link here - one of my all-time favourite VG soundtracks. Never heard anything like it before or since!
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.
The day I figured out the mouse cheese puzzle was a major milestone of my childhood
Oni! <3
Can’t believe that woke garbage Wolfenstein is in there. /s
Ahh the paperboard case for Deus Ex. That brings back some memories. It's amazing that it is in such good condition.
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.
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.
I don't remember that Oni game by Bungie. That cover art looks nice.
Eidos, I know that name.. Anyone remember commandos?
Loved commandos. They’re making a new one. There is a demo out. Probably launched next year.
absolutely loved Oni, still one of my favorites ever.
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.
Now I can finally activate my RtCW
Wolf's logo rocks. I believe all id games have that touch, even Rage.
Their logos and packaging were designed by focus2 in Dallas, TX. I used to work there. Fun fact: The lead designer for Return to Wolfenstein project was flying back from Hong Kong, from a press check/approval of the metal tin packaging, on 9/11. He was stuck out of the country for a while. Really cool guy. But I’m not sure focus2 was involved in Rage. They were decimated by the economy after 9/11, never did really recover from that. I think they had gone under by then.
The Neverhood is deeply underrated. It got a spiritual sequel a few years back.
Blade of Darkness was kickass
Wait, those games came on CD? I thought they came as ISOs with a nocd_patch.exe
If it's on a cd, it ain't old yet.
Your computer still has a CD drive. How retro
I didn't know for like six months that mine has a cd/dvd drive. It's practically hidden.
I remember playing Project IGI, that one was hard. Die and you have to redo the entire mission, brutal.
But it was a cool game
I dont't think I've ever played an eidos game that actually worked and ran out of the box. Such a bad experience.
FF7 was hot garbage
