Is Doom 64 the best Doom?

[Excidium]

Too bad the kid stuck with a n64 when everyone else had a PSX probably had shitty parents that wouldn't buy a game like this.

 

[Gragt]

But what about the kid who was stuck with wooden toys while his neighbours had a N64?

Those 3D monsters look so out of place. I much prefer doom using 2D sprites for the enemies.

 

[Excidium]

Where are you seeing 3D?

 

[Kahlis]

He means how the Doom 64 enemies have that plasticine, 3D modelled look to them. So do some of Doom 1/2's (since many of them were based off actual physical models) but they had far less pronounced lighting on them and generally looked more like traditional pixel art. Doom 64's look like bizarre prerenderings.

 

[Luzur]

the PC version is still the best.

What are the best homemade MegaWADs out there ?

For Doom 1&2 or Doom 64?

Fucking console controls man.

Yeah, a keyboard's arrow keys are just too hard to emulate on a controller's arrow keys

Keyboard for strafing, mouse for turning. Faggot doesn't even know how to play Doom.

Enemies seems pretty slow. Good atmosphere though

Uh? What? That is how I play doom, what is wrong with that?

 

[Excidium]

Using mouse in this sort of game just feels incredibly awkward, I don't know how you people manage

 

[Lyric Suite]

Its no different then playing a modern FPS. You just can't look up or down.

 

[taxalot]

I played all 2.5D FPS, including Duke3D, in keyboard only and I absolutely fucking ruled at these. Even in multiplayer.

A friend had a broken KB and he played Doom with mouse only, and was good at it too. It was weird, instead of strafing, he'd run in, shoot and then retreat backwards, in a straight line.

I tried that Doom 64 PC version. Seems like increasing gamma makes the game more playable but it somehow feels like it was meant to be very dark. Also I died second level to some block crushing trap. What the fuck?

I like the atmospheric soundtrack. Seems like this game succeeds in what Doom 3 failed to do.

By the way, wasn't the N64 or PS1 version of Quake 2 a completely different game ? What's that like?

I played the PS1 version(i think the porting team is hammerhead or something). Good port but inferior to the original(as it should be): slower walking speed,less detailed models more loading times and levels are shorter and some levels from the original was cut. multi was good with a bro, but its just your tipical poor man's stuff. The only advantage is that the game come with all the music from the mission pack and original's. Dont know about the N64 version.

Quake 2 N64 was goddamn weird. It wasn't bad, I remember kind of enjoying it as a console peasant child, but it was definitely a completely different game.

 

[dnf]

Watched some vids. Lots of popamole prompts in the N64 version. Maybe i should check it later

 

[kingcomrade]

There's zero ways that Doom 64 can beat Doom 2. It's outclassed simply because Zdoom and almost 20 years of Doom wads exist. It cannot compete. It's just that simple. I still play Doom 2 through Zdoom and with wad files every couple of days (me and one of my friends play it as a primary game in coop). In that regard, Doom beats almost every game that has ever been made. I also think that even though that judgment is based on playing with friends and nostalgia, Doom still has game mechanics we haven't seen for an enormous amount of time that were intelligently designed and well-executed, then just ignored in sequent generations of games.

The PS1 port was a port of the PC version of Quake II. The N64 version was a different game & was more like a console exclusive expansion pack.
