An idea for samsara
I thought recently that most of the characters have been remade or reinvented in some way. So I thought about having a samsara 2 or something with like Doom3 guy,one of the other B.J. interpretations,the new ROTT characters(at least i think ther new),master chief, etc, etc and include some newer faces too. But this is just a thought that I think about.

RE: An idea for samsara
A mash-up mod for the modern side of things could be pretty cool, but please don't call it Samsara 2. TerminusEst13 has stated that he doesn't want people picking up Samsara once it's finished, so I don't imagine calling it Samsara 2, Samsara II: The Not-Classic-But-Modern-FPS-Crossover Project [Electric Boogaloo], or any title so directly connected with his mod would be a terribly classy move.
Basing the code on Samsara's might be a different story, though. You'd have to ask Term, I guess.
Master Chief for 7th hero

Well of course it wouldnt be called samsara 2. It was just an example.

RE: An idea for samsara
with how drastically first person shooters have evolved, it might be hard to pull off (Atleast in the doom engine). it sounds like a neat idea though. what time period are we talking about? late 90s early 2000s? or more contemporary? both could probably bring in a pretty interesting cast
(i can already think of a few for both. Gordon Freeman, JC Denton, maybe even Hiro Miyamoto for 90s/00s, and maybe Jack or Booker DeWitt on the more contemporary side)

RE: An idea for samsara
I don't know, if the evilution (do you see what I did there?) of the Doom engine has taught me anything, its that anything is possible with it as long as you are willing to invest the time into it! Think with enough time and effort you could pretty much recreate anything in it to a decent degree... although it would be a MASSIVE amount of work with a lot of things!!Captain Kupo wrote: with how drastically first person shooters have evolved, it might be hard to pull off (Atleast in the doom engine). it sounds like a neat idea though. what time period are we talking about? late 90s early 2000s? or more contemporary? both could probably bring in a pretty interesting cast

RE: An idea for samsara
Its not much a spand of time but more of a modern thing. Since almsot every character has been remade there should be a samsara for it. Like my example before, Doomguy would be Doom3guy,marathon guy is master chief,B.J. is switched with another interpretations of the games,and so on and so forth. And replace those who have not been remade like strifeguy could be replaced with turok(I cant think of any other characters)

Oh god, the cerebral bore in Doom... the sheer thought of that is making me moist...
RE: An idea for samsara
Sounds cool. But I don't know about all the "new" or "rebooted" characters like Doom3 guy or "new" BJ. Unless they contribute something unique gameplay-wise that the previous incarnations didn't have in Samsara.underbound wrote: Its not much a spand of time but more of a modern thing.

If Samsara is early-to-mid 90's games, then the most logical step forward from that would be late 90's to early 2000's era FPS's like Deus Ex, Painkiller, Postal 2 (lol), UT2k3, etc etc.
