What FPS subgenre is DOOM Eternal?

A
Amritpal last edited by

I'm trying to figure out how to find more games similar to Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. The problem is lots of google results seem to return FPS games like Call of Duty and Battlefield.

Although Call of Duty and Battlefield are also FPS games they play very differently from Doom. In Doom you basically run and shoot everything that moves without hiding behind cover or stealth. You have multiple weapons to upgrade to kill more enemies.

Wolfenstein games seem to fit the same category.

Does this genre have a name?

These kinds of games are often referred to as Arcade-style shooters. This genera of FPS games are, as you described, defined by their emphasis on movement instead of utilization of cover.

They have their roots in the original FPS games which existed before the use of cover, stealth, or other complex FPS mechanics were technologically feasible. In the case of DOOM and Wolfenstein these Arcade-style FPS roots are quite strong , as it these were some of the first breakout hits in the whole FPS genera.

Examples of these games also include Quake franchise, RAGE, DUSK, and even has some similarities with games like Overwatch which focus more on gameplay than realism.

Authentics (authentication) checks the authenticity ( authenticity) of the user ' s identification data - login, password, or other equivalent data.When Vasia's user sends a request to the server, the authentication mechanism checks that it's Vasia. The authentication may consist of request and inspection of the password, verification of the identifier of the session, IP addressP, or other information that determines that the user is the person for whom he is extradited.Authorization (authorization) - Testing of user credentials. The user can only perform the actions that he has been authorised.For example, Vasia ' s user can only read OBD records, and Masha ' s user can add new records. Usually, copying is done for an authenticated user. The authentication shall contain and confirm the user identifier for which the list of his privileges shall be determined.

There is not a clear definition of MOBA out there, so let's define it. MOBA is a genre definition for multi-player games where not only two parties struggle for resources or attack/defend, but each party/person is against all others in a confined space, therefore the term arena. Battle arenas in real terms had a pre-defined resource collection: Multiple entry points for opponents, and spread out in the arena, weapons and shields. Loosely defined, one can see it as a mixture of RTS/RPG and Free-for-all deathmatch, the emphasis is in some games on the former part (DoTA-type games) and in others on the latter (Monday Night Combat).
Is playing a FPS with lower resolution beneficial?

Most first person shooter engines have a fixed FOV (Field Of View) angle. That means the screen from left to right always shows the same content regardless of screen resolution (usually about 90°). So a lower resolution on a screen of the same size means basically one thing: larger pixels. Larger pixels mean less detail. That means on long range, a player with a higher resolution can perceive details which a player with a smaller resolution wouldn't. This gives him a distinct gameplay advantage on larger distances. Also note that running a screen on a different resolution than what it was designed for will result in interpolated pixels which further reduces image quality which can also affect the players performance negatively. An argument I read in a similar discussion several years ago is that bigger pixels means that you aim at larger targets and thus have an advantage. This is based on the wrong assumption that you hit what you see. This is wrong because hit detection is usually done with invisible hitboxes which aren't affected by the screen resolution of the player. In online gaming it's double-wrong, because the hit detection is done on the server, and the server doesn't even know the resolution the players are playing with.

I'm going to make this an answer so I can give a more complete and better formatted reply. First off, keep in mind that most popular streamers usually have a separate computer dedicated toward streaming. This requires a significant investment! In order to immediately improve your performance you should put minecraft at the lowest possible settings as well as look to reduce the compression ratio of OBS. Higher ratio = more work for your CPU = FPS lag/drops. I'm at work at the moment, but when I get home I could look into it further. Don't worry about burning out your CPU either. The only way that would happen is if youre trying to overclock it or if its just faulty. Feel free to adjust the priority, just understand that it can negatively impact the performance of other programs including OBS. If you prioritize Minecraft you run the risk of taking processing power from OBS which will cause your stream to lag. Having a good rig doesn't always guarantee the ability to stream either. I can hit about 200 fps in league on my computer, but if I try streaming I get a considerable performance drop along with a nearly imperceptible delay. I'll add onto this if anything else comes to mind as my caffeine kicks in.

It is one of many development models created in recent decades to make the software development process better. None of them have clear proof of effectiveness and none are very different from using common general sense about project management, each with their positive and negative bias. The only point that really differentiates you from other best-known ones is that you don't have such a good marketing and because/if you don't have a broad adoption, which generates a vicious cycle.As the name says it focuses on specific features of the application. Although preaching is an agile methodology, as everything seems to have to be to succeed, there is no clarity that is linked to small interactions, but it seems to follow the original basic precepts of what is agile, which almost anything fits.It tries to share the project more or less as it is done with the code making each Feature have a owner who is responsible alone. The other members of the project do not need to understand anything but the public contract they need to interact with the component. More or less as with any project, including frameworks and known public libraries. The question is who can put his hand on that. What is legal, but depending on the size of the project it makes little sense and or even is unviable since teams are not stable, which ends up being a problem.The important thing is that everything is thought of as Feature centrally. Has a flowchart Directly has nothing to do with these other techniques or methodologies, but can be used together.In general I do not like any of these things that end up in DD, the way they are created. They may even be useful, but they are not fundamental as people believe, and it changes little the way software develops if you know what you're doing.That is, it's just another handbook of how you can manage your project, study it a little and decide if it is useful to you more than other way. If you think so, deepen further, apply, test, improve, and if you see that you have given no benefit, that if you stop using it you will have more benefits, do not hesitate to abandon.

I'm not sure if they have a formal name but I would refer to these as page indicators. You can compare this to a tabbed view quite nicely (the difference is that you navigate by swiping). If you are using this idiom, the dots are now the tab headers.

Lookup tables I believe this to be where a table refers to a second table, where many rows/records in the first table share identical fields/column data. In the simpler cases, this table may be replaced by an ENUM type on the original table. Example, where many users can have the same job title, the "Job Title" table is identified as a lookup table and the "Users" table is identified as the data table (see below): Users >- Job Title Transactional / Junction / Many-to-Many tables I believe this to be where a many-to-many relationship occurs between two tables, and this transaction/junction table resolves this relationship. Example, where many developers may be working on many projects, the "developer_project" table is identified as the transaction/junction table, and the "Developer"/"Project" tables are indentified as data tables (see below). Developer -< developer_project >- Project Data/Entity table I am pretty much making this one up, but where a table is able to exist on its own, irrespective of other tables I consider this to be primarily a data storage table as opposed to a structural table. It may use lookup tables as part of the normalisation/optimisation process, but this is incidental. I have seen the term "weak" entity floating around and it may/may not apply here. I need to do further reading to be sure. Example, "staff" and "building" may exist independently of any other tables whereas transactional or relational tables/entities may not: Staff Building Self-Referencing Table A self-referencing table has a foreign key to itself, creating a hierarchical structure. create table employee ( id serial primary key, name text not null, supervised_by int null references employee(id) ); Closure Table History Table Subtype/Supertypes Represents concrete entities and their abstraction. For example, it is wise to abstract an Individual and an Organization into a Party type, so that you can easily add either as a customer on a sales order line item. Single Table Inheritance: create table party ( id serial primary key, party_type int not null references party_type(id), organization_name text null, individual_first_name text null, individual_last_name text null ); Class Table Inheritance: create table party ( id serial primary key, party_type int not null ); create table organization ( id int primary key references party(id), name text not null ); create table individual ( id int primary key references party(id), first_name text not null, last_name text not null ); In data warehousing: Fact Table Represents a process or event to be analyzed, and usually contains (unenforced) keys to dimension tables, as well as some numeric measures. create table sales_item_fact ( order_id bigint not null, order_line_item bigint not null, calendar_key int not null, customer_key bigint not null, quantity_sold int not null, unit_price numeric(19,4) not null ); Dimension Table Describes a dimension of a fact table, often with hierarchical attributes. For example you can analyze (break apart) dates into their component pieces to make querying easier. create table calendar ( id int primary key, date_iso date unique, year int, quarter_of_year_int, month_of_year int, ... ); Aggregate Table

There are a couple of aspects to this issue: The same terms being used differently in different locations/workplaces. For that issue I'd recommend getting a clear definition of the terminology in use there, even if it isn't correct. Why? Terminology usage in an organization is part of that organization's culture, and changing the culture isn't always easy or even possible. You might need to start by adding clarifiers and letting those be accepted before you start chipping away at incorrect usage.Using a given term to mean more than one thing is even more likely to be a cultural issue in my view - in my experience, if a term like user acceptance tests is used to describe more than one kind of test, chances are the organization does not see a difference between the two usages. If this is the case, you've got a much more difficult education hill to climb. For sites like this, an accepted dictionary so that new testers (and experienced ones who've come through company cultures where the terminology is used in a non-standard way) is an invaluable resource. No matter how the incorrect terminology gets there, it helps to start from the assumption that the person using it is misinformed rather than ignorant - tester tact is always a good thing.

So, a few things. First of all, you don't have to take one of those two stat-gated options. If you're not able to successfully con Simoc into drinking the poison, the final quest outcome is going to be pretty similar, even if you're straight up with him. Second of all, you don't need both Intellect and Resolve. Just one or the other. Finally, 20 Resolve starting from 9 is, quite frankly completely out of reach. You can only have one each of a buff from an item (+2 generally - +3's are very rare, and higher is nonexistent), a Buff from food (maxes out at +2), and a buff from resting at an Inn (maxes out at +2 for all stats with one exception). Luckily for you, the one exception for Inn rests is for Intellect and it's a doozy. In the Brackenbury district of Defiance Bay, you'll find the Charred Barrel, an inn. Among their room offerings is the Noble's Stay, which grants a whopping +4 to Intellect. Combine that with your +2 Int item, and the +2 Int from a cartable Fish Dish, and you're at 20 Int.

Ekhmm... they're not inversely related. They're directly related: when one increase the other increase as well: 70% | 0.01% 90% | 1% 70% < 90% and 0.01% < 1% This is really a machine learning question. False accept rate is a false positive. In other words, it is the chance that a random someone will verify his fingerprint as another person. Assuming that Bob is an authorised person whose fingerprints we have loaded into our biometric system. Now, we can tune the parameters of our biometric sensor to check whether Bob is Bob by using his fingerprint. If we tune the sensor to be very very picky (acceptance threshold is low), Bob will have 77% of chance of verifying that it is himself on the first try. If now Eve tries to impersonate Bob through this very picky system she has only 0.01% chance that her fingerprints will be recognized as Bob's on her first try. When we lower the "pickiness" of the sensor (have a bigger threshold of acceptance), Bob will be able to verify that he is himself easier: he will have a 90% chance that the sensor will conclude that he is Bob based on his fingerprints (on the first try). On the other hand, in this less picky system, Eve has a bigger chance to impersonate Bob: On her first attempt to read her fingerprints, there is a 1% chance that the sensor will conclude that Eve's fingerprints are actually Bob's (and authorize Eve as if she was Bob). Any machine learning system that has an acceptance threshold parameter will perform in the above fashion. In ML you always will have: true negatives - An impostor's fingerprints are not Bob's true positives - Bob's fingerprints are Bob's false negatives - Bob's fingerprints are not Bob's false positives - An impostor fingerprints are concluded to be Bob's The perfect ML system would give only true positives and true negatives, but it does not work like that. There is noise and noise will require some acceptance threshold. A sensor that would not have any acceptance threshold would only provide true negatives and false negatives. But that would e completely useless because no one would ever be authorised to do anything. An acceptance threshold is an amount of difference that is allowed between the fingerprints stored in the database and the ones read by the sensor (and processed by the ML system). Making this threshold bigger increases the number of true positives and false positives (remember that without the threshold we had only true negatives and false negatives). In the context of the article "probability of verification" is the amount of true positives, and the "false accept rate" is the amount of false positives.

What is a loose comparison?

The loose comparison is the default of PHP. As a weak typing language, it puts aside the rigidity of types at the time of buying, then one tries to get a result, even if it is comparing https://pt.stackoverflow.com/q/80767/101 , which is often harmful.In general this is considered bad practice and should only be used if it has a very large benefit, as shown by link up.Rigid or strict comparison as it is also called, is made with ===, taking into account the type of the data, so if the type is different, it is already guaranteed that the result is false. Loose comparison uses ==. The documentation makes it clear that at the time of switch is this comparison that will be used. Then this will enter one case$x = "1"; switch ($x) { case 1: echo "é 1"; break; case 2: echo "é 2"; break; } http://ideone.com/LoSXGS the probably unwanted effect of performing something that should be different. And https://repl.it/join/lyvimxhh-maniero . Also https://github.com/maniero/SOpt/blob/master/PHP/Syntax/LooseComparison.php .In strong typing languages no would perform. In static typing or compiled languages.Note that case is a numeric guy, but the value is a guy string. When he tries to compare different types he gets lost.To prevent this type of problem occurs, unlike if or other construction where you explicitly use ===, it is necessary to sanitize the data before comparing, unless you have confidence that it will always be right. But when you do this in practice you're not using one switch, just use his syntax. The concept of switch is to make a deviation based on a data table, is not to use conditions. Conceptually if you will use conditions, the if is more suitable, mainly used rigid comparison:$x = "1"; if ($x === 1) { echo "é 1"; } else if ($x === 2) { echo "é 2"; } http://ideone.com/KQwOYu as now the result is more intuitive not running any of the blocks since the types are different. And https://repl.it/join/nnwcgtnq-maniero . Also https://github.com/maniero/SOpt/blob/master/PHP/Syntax/LooseComparison2.php .Given this difficulty switch PHP is not useful unless it is used a great discipline in the use of variables. Or if you use switch as if it were a if, which again has no advantage. I don't usually use it. In general this mechanism was created in other languages because of performance that was better than the if for these cases, but in PHP there will rarely be some gain and the syntax ends up being verbal and susceptible to errors.It has https://pt.stackoverflow.com/q/58192/101 . And about the new https://pt.stackoverflow.com/q/485419/101 .Na http://br.php.net/manual/en/types.comparisons.php#types.comparisions-loose there are tables of how comparisons are made. There is much more possibility of getting a real one with the loose comparison, and it is not always the desired.

He's actually in the game, it's not an unused sprite. It's in level 32: Grosse, which is accessable from secret map 31: Wolfenstein. As you might have guessed by now, the levels/sprites are references to ID's other games. The level's name and other graphics are all Wolfenstein references though, the only Commander Keen reference is the killable prop. You kill 4 Keens to open the exit of the level. He's just an object to hurt, he himself isn't an enemy and doesn't do anything.

If Fraps is like any sane recording software, no. FPS stands for frames-per-second, and when initially recording a video it's a measure of how many still images the software/camera will capture per second. You're not condensing the playing time, you're taking more images for each second. Depending on the frame rate that your playback device (TV, monitor, etc.) runs at, higher FPS may look better - although as I understand FRAPS is specifically designed to record your screen or a game, it can only record the rate that your games are playing at (so it will record in 60fps but as it may be recording something playing at a lower fps, it won't look any better). It will, however, dramatically increase the size of your recorded files and slow down your load times.

This command is only one of many possible solutions to temporarily fix the fps bug. logaddress_add xy does nothing to the game itself. It is used for adding external hosts to the game. These hosts will receive a live game log (such as Go TV or client software like HLSW). So why does it work? It causes a small lag. This lag temporarily "fixes" the bug. That's about it. Don't other commands cause lag too? Yep. And they work just fine. You could as well start/stop recording a demo, change graphic settings or whatever you can think of to cause a small lag. Most of them will work too.
