Happy 20th Anniversary, DooM! Oh man... 20 damned years already... that's just depressing
Yeah, it's a lot of time really when you think about it. Doom was among the first games that I played on my very first PC back then..so many memories. What's even more depressing though is that 20 years later, it's still more fun than the majority of the shooters out there. Something went terribly wrong. xD
That's definitely impressive.
Hope the guy manages to find a job in the industry, he would deserve it. Speaking of which, Carmack's spot is free..
You want another gamepad fps like rage? where enemies wait on screen
while you manage to turn the bropad and aim at them.
I need to finally fully complete both dooms. Never managed every time i modded it.
Its just very hard compared to most fps's today. finding keys and stuff, always found that tough in oldies as
I really got into fps's around the post quake 2, unreal void,
where a ton of games were fighting for the throne and
the mechanics were moving away from weird level design with key hunting.
Hexen's and the first heretic were insane with the levels... i would get lost all the time
Indeed the levels can be annoying but never too much in my opinion. There's always some element of surprise hidden somewhere which either amazes you or fucks you in the butt, or both. But it's always a very pleasant sensation even if it can be frustrating. Shooting is still immensely fun, especially with the Brutal mod, it will never get old really.

Yep, I think o got as far as episode 2 on nightmare, or whatever last difficulty is.
I got to some level filled with those flying red ball demon's, in a maze like environement.
Got owned there a lot, and then I moved on to something else. But this was before I was diagnosed mustcompletitis.
To anyone looking for a good megawad: play Vanguard.wad. If anything, you should play it to experience the truly spectacular Map3, which is by far one of the best maps I've ever played for Doom 2: it's basically another take on the Hunted level of Plutonia experiment (pissed archviles running all over the level), except on a far smaller map with truly mindblowing design.
Too bad there's far too much ammo lying around and most levels become far easier than they should be. In spite of that complaint, though, a highly recommended wad.

well, it's cheating quite a lot
3d objects and 3d characters especially
if 3d objects are allowed, you can do anything
i would accept displacement maps, and you could do similar objects with them, but proper 3d is just cheating

Yea, there's probably a line or two of doom code in the source engine, doom3, others of that lineage

Classic Doom 3 is one of my absolute favourite remakes and it was a crying shame the developers only ever did Episode 1. This new one looks to be remaking the entirety of Doom 1 and 2 (thanks to Doom going open source, I guess this is a legal route as opposed to how it was back during the original Classic Doom 3 stuff) so I'm really looking forward to this - despite the visual quality not looking exactly.... mindblowing.
Haha! I saw that yesterday, forgot to post it up Shame the colours are all screwed up.. but man... Doom.. on a bloody PRINTER It's like the Doom on ATM thing a few weeks back, heh.
I'm comparing the strangeness of devices that aren't supposed to be running something like that. That's all, not the level of tech or ingenuity required
