This is a really amazing remaster
I didn't expect so many options and features for the price, this looks really amazing so far. Tons of graphics options too. Very good value, probably the best value on an oldschool shooter I've seen.

yea it's great. the mouse feels a bit weird though

I'm not really noticing that feels pretty accurate to me, I don't know maybe I'm wrong tho, never really played this game outside the free version.

the controller support feels great though. i only play this version on my deck now for the convenience and it feels very natural there.

Is it the mouse sensitivity? Is it to fast or slow? Those usually got fixes of some kind. Well regardless least you got something you can play it on steam deck looks pretty cool.

I'm not really sure why people bash this. I played SW as a kid and just recently started playing again with a source port. Then I noticed this version on sale, bought it and started from beginning because this has the expansions which I have never played before. It plays fantastically and I'm not noticing anything wonky about the mouse control compared to VoidSW.

Yea I find the bashing surprising too considering how crisp and clean everything looks and runs on it. Has upscaling and downscaling to original graphics. And everything runs smooth as silk. All the extra features, expansions and everything else you need. And for the price on sell one of the best remasters you can get.

I loved blood and played it to the end then finished duke. Both great games, but their remasters had issues. Duke randomly died sometimes, and blood didn't have much in terms of extra features besides achievements. This outdoes both on steam, and gets trashed for being a good remaster at a steal price?

This is why I don't trust any gamer opinions.

Well, it is my first time with Shadow Warrior and I really find it almost unplayable and a bit ugly with proportions, or fov and textures filtering or I don't know.
I think I'll try the dosbox version or a source port.
The mouse is weird and I tried a lot of option for the graphic too.. can't find a way to play it.
Maybe it is the game.. I don't know.
I expected something similar to Duke Nukem 3D, the engine of which feels a little bit clunky respect to the one of Doom, but this. this is far worse here.

Maybe there are weird things going on with some pc, or operative systems, or resolutions, or hardware pieces like specific gpus or cpus.. or the fact that I have a laptop..

Shouldn't it feel like Duke in movement and shooting??

I tried a lot of options..
I think now it is somehow better..
maybe because I capped the fps to 60.. I don't know.
But still it feel worse than Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary..
and in some things seems even an older game.. I thought it should have been more advanced.. kind of a spiritual sequel.
Can't I use the katana on a secondary button like Duke's kick?

A lot worse, stuttering a lot, not fluid, unplayable...

There is definitely an improvement with the new patch, but the frame rate limiter is busted causing stuttery movement for me so playing on raze feels much better.

Still trash after what ever they did with the patch. SW is free on GOG, using that with Raze is the best way to play. It's sad the players have to do what the devs wont.

That free shadow warrior was what made me buy this one, its not as good as you guys make it out. Needs workarounds for widescreen, and the colors look faded. This has slick menus and runs way better than you guys are making it out to be.

Meanwhile nightdive doom is crashing constantly for people in online and map menu, but you guys still want ND to do it cause mainstream and popular. I really don't see whats wrong with this game for the asking price. Works and runs amazing for me.

Redux crash a lot to me really. And it is pretty clunky.
I still played it though, to unlock the achievements and it is ok at the end of the day, with all its flaws.

No-one said the "Classic" version is ok as it is..
But the work around it needs is pretty easy: installing a source-port very simple; I have Raze (GZ-Doom like) but there are other popular too as WangGDX and VoidSW.
