Title: In-game demo by Chuck "TwoDev" Norris
Post by: LuckyDee on April 29, 2012, 01:17
Didn't the original Doom have a demo that played on the background of the menu?

Need I say more?

I would watch main menu all the time instead of playing the game :D

Weren't the demos played by some guy who always died after a few minutes?

Yep, but he did probably have a time-limit to meet.

Moreover, main menu demos were always meant for the dark days when games shops used to have the game showing in the store window to give customers a taster. You very rarely see that these days.

It would be like: 'explore!' <2dev lurking around>; 'discover new items!' <2dev getting chainsaw>; 'RIP'em OFF!' <2dev destroying entire Hell on N! without taking damage with chainsaw>. And you're like: 'I'm gonna play this game! It's awesome!'. Then you start the game ASAP.. and then...

Nope. Not a 2Dev demo. I don't want a constant reminder of how incompetent I am at this game ;).

Or we can get Game Hunter to record some stuff with his smooth and reassuring voice.

"This, as you can see, is the - er - main menu, which I'll be going through first very slowly, then really fast and, ehm,  if we still have time, then backwards."

We can't have that, because then everyone would just stay on the main menu instead of actually playing the game

Hmm, if I really did this, I'm sure that I could tone it down enough to not horribly disappoint some new players when they pick up the game.

Still 2Dev, I really want to see a video of how you play, preferably a N! speedrun :D

I second Kornel.

Just some N! game played like you usually use to play.
For obvious reasons without entering UC / without taking DS.

By my standards, *all* of 2Dev's games are speedruns.  :)

I imagined Game Hunter Voice Module for DoomRL.

You enter main menu - 'hello, GameHunter here.. and this is.... wwhooooaaaaaaahh what's this! DOOM RL GRAPHIC EDITION oh yeah!'
...
...
You pickup Computer Map - 'holy crap, it's the map!'

And so on..

On topic: Yes, we would like to see demos, come on 2dev, Kornel himself is ordering asking you to do so. :D
