really nice vid

It's unfortunate what happened after he left id. He's a cool guy, talented and we need him back creating badass fps.

uh, someone has not played daikatana :D

he had some good influence imo but I doubt he was the reason quake was good

he is good designer, but making a game is not only concept, which imo was cool in daikatana

Supposedly daikatana isn't that bad once you get past the first couple of levels.

The main backlash was because the tech used was old, it took really long to make and the poor advertising.

Yea, by the time Daikatana was ready to go, Carmack had already created the new tech for Quake2 and it shat all over Daikatana. At least according to Masters of Doom, he had to pretty much wait for the license for tech2 and it just uber fucked him up.

I think if I remember correctly, he thought it'd be an easy transition from the old tech to the new tech, but Carmack totally switched the way he coded tech2 compared to tech1 and Romero was like, "FUCKKKK MEEE."

The worst thing about Daikatana is AI of NPC companions. Its so bad its almost unplayable at some points.

Nice vid! Thanks :)

Never played doom though :(

who the hell is this guy???? play it now!

Ok I have played it a bit on GBA, but I feel an urge to play it today. I'm sure I will tonight! Got any leads what/where to download doom? I am kinda interested in the coop so I can play with my GF. Is it a feature or a mod they use in the vid?

Ty!

off the top of my head I dunno haha, i'd start by just getting the normal game and playing through that with the standard graphics and then trying a mod such as Brutal Doom which adds nicer graphics and loads of glood and guts.

Official games are - Doom, Doom 2 & Final Doom

Get www.zandronum.com for your source port . Pretty vanilla but supports modern resolutions and texture filtering.
Gotta get doom doom2 and plutonia wad files to play them. You can yank them off http://iddqd.ru/old .
You really have to play those three because so many custom wads reference them. Then you can play with the brutal doom mod and custom wads like Alien Vendetta or Plutonia 2 or funky ones like 1monster.

To play coop with zandronum you gotta spawn a server and connect to it. Gotta edit gameplay settings at first too since they're weird by default for coop.

what was the replacement for zdaemon? the one you just linked?

More of a replacement for gzdoom or skulltag. They're all pretty similar though.

if you want the most faithful version do PRBOOM, movement and mouse is indifferent from doom.exe. remember 340x200 or up it to 640x400 for menu and map to look right though(I'm not sure if other source ports fix that, or have an option to fix it. on 4:3 screen it is to be played in that res)

If you really don't care, just get zdoom.

also, if you somehow thing ultimate doom is missing something, it's doom2 you're looking for.

I mannaged to get the zdoom i think (because the exe is called zdoom.exe). It was awesome! Makes me wonder how I didn't manage to play this as a kid. Too much HL and CS I guess.

for me doom2 and evolution(part of final doom) is the best "doom".

PRBOOM is no harder to set up. If you have any kind of ocd, and MUST play it as close to original as me it's the way to play it.

tnt evilution*
But anyway plutonia's way better. :P

ye spelling error on my part. didn't finish plutonia, as it got too much of just a demon maze, maybe i should revisit. Maybe it was just the fact that plutonia was the one kicking my ass on UV, that made me get bored of dieing all the time, though i usually don't give up on hard games, those are the ones i like the most.

seriously, do it! It's fun even nowdays! Also there are a lot of mods that up the graphics, tho I prefer the nostalgic old school pixelized hell.

yeah you've got to play it vanilla first then start with the mods

doom2 + client that supports mouse (horizontal only) + always run = one of the best fps single player games to this day.

yeah. no. doom 2 lacks atmoshpere. i think doom survives mostly on our past memories when it was really n1 game. i doubt someone who started playing games now would find it interesting at all.

Or could be the soundtrack.

my little doom collection that i need to continue!

i would get rid of doom 3.

but it has doom 1 and 2 on the disc also

ok

so you saying doom 3 was a bad game, wtf. it wasnt bad. it was great.

Romero said it himself: he didn't finish the game (I skipped tons of levels) because it's a different genre and is way too predictable, missing the point of what's doom about and making the game way too repetitive, frankly boring. In both aspects Romero had a key role in doom1.

That's one side of it. The other is multiplayer, and here we all know it was considerably worse than other games, though maybe acceptable for people that didn't play fps online.

That's why the "hardcore doomers" and enthusiast dislike the game as a whole, while neutral players kind of like SP and enjoy their space childish horror shooter, though it isn't a masterpiece by any means. At most 8/10 for them, nowadays 6 to 7 as the game hasn't aged well.

Personally after doom3 and now that we know the state of the company, I have zero interest in doom4. Furthermore the rumor is this is the second attempt at it, since one or two years ago the gold version of the game was rejected by Zenimax because it was awful.

zenimax rejecting doom 4? are they mad. they pumped out crap like brink.

doom should have been released, there is no worse games than cod and bf sequels.

how could you say doom 3 is crap when we have endless crysis, cod and bf sequels. are they good?

don't be mad doom 4 is in development hell fanboy

It's okish tbh. Not even near as good as doom and doom2, but it's playable.

Don't forget to pick up the Super Nintendo version. It had gimped graphics and no save system!

jaguar doom is totally legit. should lan jag doom.

also, why does it take them an hour and a half to beat e1?
