DOOM 64 |OT| No Absolution

Best OT ever. Like, really, what a great OP
I loved this game on the N64, it was too hard for me back then, but I played it anyway. I'm so excited for this

I find the control, at least of the Switch version of doom 2 very, very floaty and unwieldy. With that said, I never played Doom 64 and it did have a reputation in Spain so...can't wait!

odd, my copy (bought on ebay like a year and a half ago lol) came with the usual white cardboard insert (US copy). did you buy yours when it came out at a store?
see FAQ section in the OP ...
I did. They had it on display there and you couldn't see shit, it was near pitch black, and the clerk insisted this was the only way the game would look ever. Take it home and on regular brightness it looks normal, as expected. Sure the game is dark, but it's not that dark.
Doesn't seem as good as DOOM 64 EX despite being two engines evolved. It looks off and it moves off. I was getting crushed despite standing in the blinking yellow spots in M2 and the red arrows had a weird texture to them. The room with the spinning yellow light in M1 looked too bright despite turning environment brightness down all the way. Does this use the original ROM like EX did or is it reverse engineered?
That said, if you've never played it before this won't concern you.

I think this is seriously good on PS4. Played until level 5. Sounds great, looks crisp for an N64 ish remaster, and plays well. Weapons and shots feel good. Level design is good, rooms completely change up at times. Nice gimmick. Real Doom 3.
If you picked up Doom Eternal at GameStop today, the Doom 64 code should have printed on the receipt. However, with the change in release date, the system backend has not been assigning codes properly.
GameStop employees now have backup SKUs they can use to print out a Doom64 voucher if you did not receive your code. They may be able to read you the code over the phone if store traffic is minimal but obviously not guaranteed.

see above :D
NightDive port trivia #1
These are two unrelated questions. Reverse engineering is a specific process in programming where you reconstruct behaviour of another code using a number of methods. Using the original ROM is for assets, and yes, that's where we got the resources from, there was nowhere else.
The original behaviour is unchanged, and in fact is the most accurate port yet. We managed to achieve attract demo compatibility, which were just recordings of player inputs. This means that the gameplay behavior is 100% exact from the N64 code. The maps are also unaltered and come direct from the ROM (they have to be because again, demo compatibility).
The rendering engine obeys the original behaviour for BSP clipping and zfar distance, and we even have a reconstruction of the N64s 3 point filtering.
I still have to get through my first-time runs of all the Doom add-ons (Sigil, etc.) and my replay of Doom II, but I am pumped for this. Haven't played Doom 64 since it was a pre-teen rental, but I get the feeling that its aesthetic, tone and music will jell with me the most. I also fucking love Doom lore, it's so neat that it all fits together subtly without bending over backwards to do so. Makes my brain feel good.
Similar in gameplay, but slower paced and with a more dark and moody aesthetic, with low lighting and an industrial soundtrack instead of heavy metal. It's a different take, though all the hallmarks are there.
FUKKEN WATSwitch and PS4 also support gyro-aim assist (motion controls).
I'll take it.
I only played this on N64 way back, and now on PS4. I haven't beaten it yet but it feels like a mix between Doom 2 and Quake 1. With better graphics like Quake had.
Having said that, its closer to Doom 2 than to all its sequels. A classic Doom experience with mazes, keys and surprise encounters.
Better graphics and great overal aesthetics, IMHO. Im talking from my 1997 N64 experience.
How do I access this on the PS4? I'm playing the Deluxe Edition of Eternal, but I don't have DOOM 64 in my download list and it doesn't seem to be on the store either. I thought maybe I'd have to start it from the Eternal menu, but it isn't there either.
Hey don't spread viruses to my computer.The 90's are back, baby!
Almost certainly playing this on my Switch as well as Xbox One. The only Doom game I haven't played and I can't wait!
90s are back?
you don't want to go down the 90s wrestling fan sign road, friend.
