Question: Why not capitalize on the date and have all this happen in February?

That's a surprisingly decent preorder bonus. Probably not enough to actually get me to preorder rather than using gray market sorcery to get Doom 2-2 for cheap, but it's something.
If you can play 1 and 2 you can play 64. It's basically the real Doom 3. If you can't play Doom 1 or 2 anymore, then 64 ain't gonna change that.

There's a few ports of it that you can play, even a Brutal Doom version.

They're 2D sprites.

Wow, that does look great. I always had this thought that Doom 64 would be some pussified version because it was on a Nintendo system.
It's the real Doom 3 dude. It's great.

Doom 64 is the last Doom game John Romero worked on - in a sort of consulting role, but still.

Doom 64 is a horrendous game made for console peasants. It features none of the hallmarks of level design that made the PC Doom games great, incomparably uglier sprites for the enemies and colored lights in literally every sector.
I urge anyone who disagrees to watch the linked stream above and count the elevation changes in both floors and ceilings as well as the light / shadow contrast spots in the entire footage.

Doom64: More atmospheric, worse level design. Worse game overall.

On the original hardware, Doom 64 was notoriously dark and didn't have the intense neon look present in that stream.
Er...they actually mention that in the stream. They cranked the brightness up for that footage. It's adjustable in this version.

The game had some crazy traps and levels. It's Doom on crack.
Such excitement over a console-ation prize.

Don't see the need to get this when there's already Doom 64 EX and Brutal Doom 64 available for free. And the options they show here are way less than what GZDoom provides.

This release is definitely aimed at console gamers.
