Enemy ships seemingly average around 200 polygons while larger foes can be anything up to four times more detailed.

It's visually basic by today's standards, with entire maps featuring roughly 18,000 triangles in total - significantly less than a single model in a modern game. With its fast 3D engine, Forsaken could fill the screen with coloured, dynamic lighting - a look so 90s it hurts - along with large, detailed stages to explore and lots of enemies. It was also a showpiece for 3D accelerator cards at the time. The action features a Doom-like quality to it with large numbers of enemies swarming the player at any point - and this mix of hectic action with fluid controls and puzzle solving feels great even today. Forsaken featured much the same gameplay formula as Descent, but thanks to its more advanced graphics engine, the visuals are less abstract than Descent, making it easier to navigate the complex structures.

It was developed in the UK for PC and PlayStation by Probe Entertainment while Iguana Entertainment UK handled the N64 version. The original game launched in 1998 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation and Nintendo 64. And now, thanks to the efforts of Nightdive Studios, Samuel 'Kaiser' Villarreal (the developer behind the EX versions of Turok, Doom 64 and Powerslave) and other talented coders, Forsaken has returned. Interplay's Descent popularised the concept, but other brilliant games followed in its wake, including Probe Software's stunning Forsaken.

Dropped into a labyrinthian mass of tunnels, players are tasked with navigating complex spaces utilising a full six degrees of freedom while dealing with enemies, hunting for keys and finding exits. I don't understand, you said 'more options are better' but you can see why the N64 soundtrack wasn't included? What's your reasoning? If you think focusing on the PC version was the right call, fine, but why not include an option for alternate n64 soundtrack like in Turok 2 HD? Doesn't hurt anything, only question should be if they're ABLE to do that, not whether or not they should.If there's one gaming genre that embodies the spirit of late 90s PC gaming, it's the six degrees of freedom shooter. Unlike Turok i can totally see why this remaster would focus on its original PC release, despite using the PS1 crosshair for some reason, more options are better obviously but i can see why the N64 soundtrack wasn't included. Originally posted by cikame:I've only ever seen Turok on an N64, only finding out fairly recently that it even had PC versions, and listening to them side by side the N64 soundtrack is clearly better, so it made sense for me that the remaster included the option.Ĭonversely Forsaken was the latest and greatest in a traditionally PC based genre, supporting the latest video cards and online multiplayer, the soundtrack was created by a group in the UK and was popular enough that it was sold seperately on CD. I know at least some of you out there gotta feel the same way.Īnd, yea.if a dev sees this (likely given the board traffic).if possible.acquisition of said versions would be necessary I assume.can it happen? It would be reeeeally nice if this game had an n64 version option like Turok 2 HD did, and also the ability to change the track on the fly like in the original game. I'm sure others like these versions, but honestly some soound obnoxious to me to the point I want to turn the music off. I've listened to all the tracks in the music folder (each is properly named, kudos for that), so I know there's only one version of each in the game. Then playing a bit, I realized I completely missed the real issue I had: all the tracks are here but they're what I assume to be the PC or PSX versions (some sound the same, but others have a lot of extra sounds in them).

So after probing in a thread about the n64 music being in the game, I bought it, immediately heard the track I wanted the most, and was golden.
