As for the music, I thought most of the tunes were decent but I couldn't really find most of them to be particularly catchy, although 05's theme in particular was nice. And well, Lunatic had what, 5 maps? I could've liked a few more, but a megawad full of all maps looking like that would have killed me. Overall this seems to be influenced mostly by SID and Lunatic (if I understand correctly the latter's author was actually involved in a few maps), but unlike Lunatic there isn't a big emphasis on large outdoor areas with interesting, dynamic fights (and no new enemies).
Most of the fights I found also to be rather uninteresting, with the possible exception of a few outdoor fights (most notably in map05), and I liked the use of crushers in map03, as well as Metal Mothers (but it's imho ruined by the fact the spider masterminds just kill themselves). And despite the fancy new textures, the fact each map uses the exact same theme certainly doesn't help in the variety field (it's why I prefer each map to be set in a completely different theme, might not be coherent but it would at least be varied), and there's a lot of backtracking and "where do I go now" moments, which is at its absolute worst when navigating through same-y techbase corridors. It brings another layer of chaos to the old PC games.Cool new graphics, but to be honest, most of the maps just play and look all the same, can't really tell one room from the next. So, in Doom 2, you’ll start with the BFG and rocket launcher, which is great, but then in Final Doom: Plutonia, Spider Mastermind will be right on you as you spawn, which is terrifying. Widesreen support – 16:9 without letterboxing – has been added, and so has gyro aim, and an optional crosshair that changes colour when on an enemy that can be turned off in the options menu. Another new mode too, Ultra-Violence+, which makes enemies as fast as in Nightmare mode, and the only weapons are from deathmatch/co-op. The post also warns that any mods tied to the Steam folder might be affected, and that you shouldn’t mod through the Steam game folder directly. The original DOS versions are still on your drive, but the latest iterations will be what automatically boots now.
The first in the list is Steam support, and confirmed that owners of Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 on Steam will automatically get the new re-releases.
It is the year of our Dark Lord 2020, and Doom and Doom 2, the FPS games that defined much of what the genre would become, have just received a new update.Īccording to the patch notes, quite a few additions and tweaks have been made, across “QOL improvements, performance optimisation, and more”.
