I think they could have easily gotten away with calling this one Doom III, as not a single asset from the first two games were used in its creation.

It's more of proper sequel than Doom II. I always wanted to see it ported to PSX and Saturn bitd. I thought that it would be cool to see the game unfiltered and un-mood altered.
I just picked up a N64 again last night and the one game I bought with it is Doom 64. I'm looking forward to playing through it again. :)
It was "ported" to the PC twice, the latter effort is a direct port. You need the actual n64 rom to extract the Wad from. This means everything is authentic as possible. DOOM64 EX
I didn't like the music, so I never made it very far into the game
Awesome, thanks for the link. :DQuote:

You make an interesting point. The game would get much more respect(and probobly would have sold better) had it been called Doom III.
Here is a link to a past discussion about the game(3 pages long):http://www.sega-16.com/forum/showthr...hlight=Doom+64
Hrm it actually does look pretty good but I've never played it. It's definitely not an original Doom game, but if you think of it as a true sequel I think it look good. I wouldn't mind picking it up for the N64 and trying it out.
You're welcome. I even found an in-engine option to "unfilter" the graphics.Quote:

Then you can use whatever you like best - the original music, or variations on it, or something more ambient. It's funny how often id changes on that respect... Doom/Doom II has music, Quake has ambient tracks, Quake II has music...Quote:

Ambient fits Doom64, because it compliments the look. They have some very well designed levels. I just played "Watch your step", one of those "We're throwing everything at you, kitchen sink included!" levels.
I liked Doom 64 a lot and always thought it was an underrated Doom game. Even though the gameplay was "dated" by that time, the "point and shoot" nature of Doom was and still is a lot of fun. That retained simplicity and improved atmosphere made for perhaps the best classic Doom ever made (look ma, no pixels!).
Classic Doom > Modern Doom afaic.
I have Doom 3 on the Xbox and it was ok I mean it was scary as fuck but it wasn't as fun as the old Dooms. I think I spent more time on 1 and 2 than playing 3.
I always thought Doom 64 was just another Doom 1 port. I was pretty set with my 32X version, but now that I know this, I might just get it.
