That is da best right there!

played some last night again.... man it is brutal!

After reading about the additions the mod provides - like "much more blood, plus it adds unique gibs, death animations, dismemberments, headshots, executions" - this sentence seemed to stand out for me: "The whole world becomes more real [...]."

from the videos I saw this seems to be a pretty good mod, the sound and the effects are just much more hardcore

My obligatory Freedoom @ Sandisk Sansa Clip video. You forced me to post this!

looks painful

is that noise actually what you see or just a side effect of the recording?

That's what I see.

Had a Clip(+) myself with RockBox, playing Doom on it is simply epic.
Then one day it un-clipped from my pocket and fell in front of a moving car :( I will never forget you Sansa Clip+

I tried it on my iPod Mini running rockbox a few years ago. Since it displayed a handful of shades of gray the dithering was nowhere near this annoying and it was reasonably playable... although scroll wheel moving/aiming was worse than keyboard only.

Years later, I still don't have a device in my pocket that does proper gapless playback :|

Buy yourself a Sansa Clip+

Actually, I almost did. Couldn't be arsed geeking it out on yet another device...

Sweet

For those interested in ancient things, the development of a Doom port for the Atari Falcon has restarted after a 15 year break.

It's playable but not yet "finished" in time for the 20th anniversary sadly:

It is pretty impressive just what is being squeezed out of a 16MHz CPU (+32MHz DSP) and is several orders of magnitude faster than a straight recompilation of id's code.

i remember playing it at my cousin's on a win95 pc.

There is a book about the entire story of the two johns from cartriges to id software to the split. it's called "masters of doom". an amazing read and absolutely fascinating for every doom and quake player.

I loved it.

Best book ever!

Doom is great. Probably among the best memories of my childhood.

I'm the last of five children, and I remember the day my older brother brought home doom. I was ten. We all sat next to the PC and were blown away by it. I then spent countless hours playing it, and soon after the DCK came out, started creating maps.

One year for Christmas we hooked together two PCs and played LAN for the first time. Keyboard only, and we played some of the maps I made. For a kid of 12-13 years old, that was just amazing.

Ahh... nostalgia :)

I remember those first LANs as a kid, they were just E P I C.

Doom 64 is soo good to play. Way better than the PC version..

its another kind of beast. there are some ppl who say the snes version is the best, because it was their first doom :-)

Not going to lie, Doom 64 was my first Doom.

You can still play Doom 64 using a source port somebody made and also you need the doom64.n64 ROM to play it, It still feels like Doom 64 on N64

to defend it, it is a gem and shows new things. a doom-similar game. i played it three years ago, the first time, on pc with kaisers doom64ex. its not a substitute for original doom, its something else. some like it, some dont. the n64 players wanted doom and dont got it, thats what i find really strange. but its a win (today) to have something else. the mapmakers were obviously posessed with doom and they play with it. their fun is in the game. i think the publisher williams did some other risks (creative wise) with the doom gameboy versions (limited tech). to that time doom variations were not commercial risks because doom on the cover sold anyway. i recommend also the chiptune music from doom 1 gameboy, doom 2 gba didnt have it. http://www.doom2.net/~doomdepot/music.html#gba



new ambient music from the man who did the psx soundtrack, more colored grafix and new lightning system but the game itself is darker, new scripting (objects can teleport), higher resolution and the pixels got bilinear filtering, i think it got room-over-room in the engine. more riddles, playerview is from the chest (funny idea) which is akward at first/all looks bigger through it, some weapons have recoil etc. it left the common doom rules in some places.

My apt in 2003. :)

How is that better?

At least is an entirely different game, the real doom3.

Better graphics, has excellent ambience, etc.

I do love the game on the n64 but I didn't like the graphics

Not sure if serious.

I am.

come get some

happy birthday FFS

€ good moment 2 try BRUTAL DOOM >_< moddb.com

watching that utube flick with romero playing doom 1st ep and sharing his memories of those days... priceless. never had a chance to get to know this dude any better than shits and rumors from all over, but now he's uncovered himself as a cool, collected and very likable man. a true artist of his art.

and i always guessed right - it was always gibs [jibs] and dwango [not d-wango] for me.

he's definitely cool and down-to-earth and quite the contrast to carmack.

say what, hes opposite, where carmack does work romero spews shit out of his ass and hes not even a gamer anymore. far from down to earth. romero work has ended in 1996 with quake. and hes still talking about games as if hes head of activision or smth. maybe he does work were he is not credited, who knows, he needs to put his name back in the industry through actual work.

Both are a thing of the past, past millennium. One does known speeches the other does not.

If you didn't grew up playing Doom you missed out on life.

... ahh, editing sectors, vertices and linedefs in MacDEU. Memories.

anyone knows what are the best custom doom episodes or level around ... I guess things got much better since 1993 by now ...
maybe there are doom mods with jumping included and new levels accustomed to it?

what kristus say.

you can try at first the commercial things for historical reasons and fun. final doom (2 different games), master levels (really impressive and wide spread of mapstyle [riddle maps, the appearence of black imp, the elevator map that blow me away], on older doom ports hard to install), nerve's no rest for the living. in quality there is no difference between the mentioned commercial outputs and good community maps, because all the mappers came from the community.

there is so much good and different stuff. memento mori 1 & 2, requiem, rebirth... i digg the old stuff, because they had crazy ideas. old doesnt mean bad here. the core of doom is the map itself, ideas and architecture. you remember how complex and different some areas were in the original maps. the player go up and down, has 3-4 doors to choose, does huge backtracking through the map. the engine couldnt do room-over-room. well the architecture cant get old, only the grafix. thats why i was angry when i saw the cubic console maps of crysis 2.

the relativley new community wad "back to saturn x" shows modern map style, custom textures and music, high mapdetails (many different textures in small places, like around windows and doors, various lightning). mappers optimised these methodes over time, and with new builders and port features (new engines). i think you only will appreciate in full if you play much doom and know the old stuff. from the grafix it was a blast for me. this guy here ( http://onemandoom.blogspot.de/p/index-of-reviews.html ) does good reviews with pictures, i compared it with my own opinion, hes able to talk about maps which is rare.

try to bind in your doom port (start client) in the config the weapons on single keys to be faster, like in quake mp. the weapons are well balanced. because after the original doom the skill went up - more monster, evil positions, more exessive style, mappers knew exactly what you will do and trick you. try skill 3. i personally play much on 3 because on 4 or 5 (more monsters, respawning) you must more cover behind something which i dont like so much. i want atmosphere and have time to look on textures and architecture. what i like is to activate fast monsters manually (i think it comes automatically with skill 4). means faster imp balls etc.

modern doom ports have now the feature jump built in and you can activate and bind it, but its some kind of lame to use it in singleplayer to shorten up ways, because most maps are designed for non-jumping. i dont know if there are jump mods. i know the doom ports for online play (zdaemon, zandronum, odamex) have a few trickjump servers. about multiplayer, in general, the server will force the rules (free or non free crosshair, jump or not etc) so dont wonder if something you use dont work.

i use different doom ports for different play. gzdoom for singleplayer and zdaemon for online coop. im only interested in doom online coop, because i play quake. i dont want to take part of the "doom port wars" so take your time, look after the known ports, think about what you want (oldschool look with chocolate doom or ports with extended features, try for yourself and pick one. and bring 30 minutes with you to configure the settings in options menues.

Nice one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyN7OtObuvk

good find :>

Download PRBOOM. A very nice windows launcher. You need the plutiona/TNT wads as base WADS, after that you can download every WAD you want.

I suggest Alien Vendetta, that is just a very, very nice WAD. It's tough, but also very doable. Above all: all the maps have very nice music.

the JC wired interview was quite a good read. As always with john carmac.

loved the romero commentary talking about level design, keeping it fresh and none linear.

wow doh, whats so non linear about doom design, just stupid pacman style labyrinths

if you compare doom levels to wolfenstein 3d you can already see they already were going to the tube tunnel syndrome of modern shooters of today.

graphics wasnt just as good to do the tunnel syndrom levels, it would look to stupid.

what really surpriresed when he said that his design is too bad, modern level design is done by gemoetry guys who dont do any art just create boxes to playtest, then artists do the rest. unless call of duty mappers just go straight to art stuff without playtesting which would explain why their leveldesign sucks ass

aahh he is to lazy he could easily gotten involved in some indie shooter project that would be just as good as doom with his design, through in some decent art and the game is done.

thats where his ego comes in , i can already imagine something like. oh but we already made doom... stupid tards

I missed you.
Welcome back.

thanks, i still here just not on esr. been doing nothing productive lately but. who gives a damn.

been thinktking how to explode this whole thing, its really getting annoying

before i tried this astupid wolfenstein 3d mod, it was all like a dream, then it went downhill, its like a satanic curse that keeps me down going down and down

i started playing csgo recently, can check out here

http://steamcommunity.com/id/_1k

its still crap, but i cant keep up with quake live, its too fast.

i am actually surprised a bit i know that its like crap and all aut why like 1 or 3 views, that thing didnt get stolen it just sits there on different moddb and google docs links for 2 years now, no one gives a fuck at all, except for a few crazy website posts. its like warfare or something, we have invented new way to drive people crazy, by showing them something that makes so little sense and then they just get mad or frustrated, its the new way to torture everyone. cybertrolling and fish hooking and then doing something to keep it all down.

i cant follow you, which mapdesign do you critise. wolf3d has better mapdesign than doom?

the fun games the last years were made by indis, for me. flying wild hog & cro team with painkiller style, interceptor (rise of the triad) with old school design.

if you mod for a little game with a small community, ofc you dont get much attention. i have no idea what site could feature your wolf3d mod. classic doom & doom 3 have some kind of healthy community. but only the bigger projects get attention. even the time when big gaming sites did features about doom 3 is over :(

What happened to the wolf3d mod, the images looked promising.

no one cares , last i heard they wanted to make a cellphone game from it, but no one cares really. moddb isnt making anything, no one making anything just a bunch of random posts on the internet. they are sharks, they not going to contact you unless you have a lump of money, they are stupid. i am russian, no one trusts russians, even russians dont trust russians.

"i am russian, no one trusts russians, even russians dont trust russians."

Another great quote

plus among other things everyone thinks i am some kid on the internet, they are dumb, circular logic. no one questions others but me. what am i supposed to? jump out of my body like stalin.

Since you're not just a kid on the internet, what would you consider yourself as?

He admits they are somewhat linear but the way in which the levels are constructed doesn't feel like it. Seeing other parts of the map from other areas and going back to certain areas later.
Especially when you compare it to modern day shooters which is one large area followed by another.

I think I am going for the Doom Christmas decorations this year.

absolutely need a Doom combat suit and helmet for myself ;-)

Ah, classic!
