Moving sectors(conveyor belts), the ability to create spherical sectors. Some guys have added features that we wished were in the original game, like the ability to fly, and the ability for 1 sprite to cross over the top of another (ever stand on a ledge and have an Imp 100 feet below you scratch away some of your health?). There have been a lot of ports of the Doom Source in the last couple of years. If the rest of the game lives up to that, I might just sit down with some popcorn, turn out the lights, and try really hard to be scared. The beta has codes that let you place lights at arbitrary locations, so he places one right where he was standing, and we both nearly jumped out of our socks! He was standing face-to-face with this giant, hideous creature that had obviously not yet been hooked up to an AI script yet, so it was just standing there in the corner, looking very angry and breathing slowly. My friend has a habit of wandering around in game levels after he has already killed everything, so he runs into a dark corner and realizes he's stuck on something. The boss of that first level is truly awesome, especially what he does if you get killed by him. The very first scene in the beta was absolutely incredible. If the leaked beta I saw at my friend's house is any indication, and the original doom honestly scared you at all (I'm not easily scared by movies or video games) the answer is almost certainly an emphatic "yes". Now the question I want answered is will Doom 3 scare me again? Why is he sticking with DOOM, of all things?Įase of editing? Doom familiarity? Doom fan base? It came out in 1990, 3 years beforeĭescent may have had better 3-d graphics, but Doom had better textures and better gameplay, especially for single-player, and at the time, not everyone had networking or even modems, so good single-player gameplay was critical. The first real 3-d FPS game I saw on PCs, wasĦ40 KB of RAM. Doom 2 did not have look up/down.ĭescent, AFAIK, was the first *real* 3D game, and it ran on 486s with 8M of ram (not as apparent in Doom, but in D2 and Heretic when you can look up)
Ways that satisfied many different users it was revolutionary in its marketing strategy (E1 was shareware the rest was only $40, which was still less than most games at that time) and it had the right market timing. It was revolutionary in its ability to combineīoth single-player and multiplayer gameplay in I am sorry but to me, really, Doom was just the "step up" from Wolfenstein, nothing revolutionary. Why is he sticking with DOOM, or all things? On the other hand, Quake, not to mention Quake 2 engines are all open-source now. Descent, AFAIK, was the first *real* 3D game, and it ran on 486s with 8M of ram afterwards, looking at anything based on the sprite graphics engine just makes you go "ack." Seriously though, I don't understand why people all don't get their facts straight when coming to 3D gaming. By that time, it took id soft quite sometime to come out with a reasonable replacement, Quake, and that's after Doom2 and heretic came out based on the original Doom engine.
Not ditching Carmack or nothing, but sprite graphics with horrible problem of perspective distortion (not as apparent in Doom, but in D2 and Heretic when you can look up) really doesn't cut it by that time.ĭescent was Out just a little later, but was 100% 3D, in ways that not even today's 3D games may be necessarily be able to compare to (in the sense of complete freedom of direction and orientation). Now go back to your Pentium 3GHz, your 1GB of RAM, your 128MB video card, your 120GB+ hard-drive, your cable/DSL, and then take another look at jdoom/Doomsday. If you want to play more than 1 person, grab up your computer and meet up with 3 of your friends at someone's house and you can play up to 4 Players!!! over the 10Mb BNC LAN. (Of course you probably wont last 20 minutes.) Dial up directly to your buddy over a 9600 baud modem and play him 1 on 1.
HOW TO PLAY BATTLEFIELD 1942 MULTIPLAYER WITH ETHERNET LAN INSTALL
Then install the original Doom on it and play it for a while.
If you want to see what "the big deal is", go get yourself a 486SX/16 with 4MB of RAM, a 1MB video card, and a 100MB hard-drive with DOS 6.x installed it. That being the case, you couldn't possibly appreciate how much better jdoom/Doomsday looks than the original Doom. Based on your comments I'm guessing the original Doom predates you. If you were expecting then that, then I'm sorry but you're a complete idiot. You're an AC so I really shouldn't waste my time responding, but.Īt no point did I ever say jdoom/Doomsday was going to make the old classic Doom look like what Doom 3 is supposed to be.
