Nice thank you just tried DOOM TC, the atmosphere is way darker and more horror like.
Interesting take to be honest.
I will look into Doom 64 as well.
Doom 3 was a way different game than Doom 1/2, but it got good toward the end. Plus it had full two-player co-op, which is how I played it on the original Xbox with my brother via XBL. Those late weekend nights playing through levels are awesome memories...
You are welcome.
PSX Doom is perfect for anybody who want's to replay the games in a very different way. I love both of them.
If you want to play Doom 64 on PC, look into this:
It is the perfect port of the game for the PC.
Wait. Wat. Where?
I only find Sound, Controls and Account Agreement on PS4......
Edit: Found them!
That is really cool, that Doom 64 had also a PC release by fans.
It even uses the KexEngine for that. That is sweet.
Thanks for the links :)
You are welcome!
Hopefully soon it gets rereleased so everyone can play it. Consoles or PC.
I am sure, Doom 64 got already a PEGI rating, so the console and PC rekease shouldn't be far away :)
Sadly the coop is exclusive to the OG XBox version. It was a special coop edition of Doom 3.
Doom 64 indeed started off as a completely different game.
The absolution was its codename during early prototype phase which stuck in development hell then the project evolved in what is currently known as Doom 64.
Funnily enough the planned sequel of Doom 64 that got canned in 1997 was called Doom Absolution.
As for id software saying the game was shit, here the source cited by Wiki (Next Generation #20):
Notice how the journalist worded the sentence ("evidently id software"), it was speculation on his part after hearing the delay from the planned release date.

Do the 1 and 2 ports let you save and load anywhere? Or is it limited to only saving per level. And does it autosave when you start a level so if you die you just restart like you were or is it plain vanilla and you start over empty when you die? (Which never made sense at all)
As long as you can save manually whenever you want.

yes
was answered in more detail already
That's good. Hopefully they fix some of the issues. I would like to buy them but I'm holding off. Still might get 3 though. I have only ever played that with a controller so I probably won't have much issue replaying it.
Hmm, are there any other hardly played games in massive series that are technically mainline entries like Doom 64?
(I always thought of Metroid II in GB as something like this)

Ah Chinatown Wars is a great shout, not played Dead Space Extraction.
Richter posted links for the DOOM TC mod.
Or you have to use emulation to play PSX Doom.
Wow - I never realized that wasn't part of the standard game. Crazy they never ported that mode to any other platforms/versions!
I thought they might add it alongside the other BFG Edition improvements. A shame really, given the series history of co-op. I was similarly disappointed that 2016/Eternal don't offer campaign co-op.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but how's the Doom 3 port? I'd prefer to play it on PC but my BFG version has a microstuttering issue I've been umBls to ever solve.
I'm playing it on X and it's fine. Control feels nicer than the 360 version. Loading is fast.
I've heard there's some performance issues on Switch but nothing wild.

Ended up getting Doom on Switch and God it still feels amazing. It's pretty damn perfect. And I actually didn't notice the music thing that's been discussed, the tracks are still bangers.
Will def be getting 2 and 3 now.

Okamiden is a full on follow up to Okami, even if most people don't know it exists
Well it is a ps360 game there is no reason it shouldn't be running on switch.
Well it wasn't originally... and not really whet I was getting at. The game was a technical powerhouse of the early 00's.
I like the music in the PSX Doom, but I can't stand how dark it is. I like to see what is killing me. :P
I remember that port had originally edited the original level design to make room for two players and I believe certain sections were cut out or reduced.
I remember that Doom 3 came out while I was in high school after being hyped for so long and people called it pretty, but dull gameplay wise even for the time it came out. I got it on PC first and my PC was so crap it couldn't play it well with constant suttering and freezing when enemies came on screen. I eventually just settled on the original Xbox port and played it mostly there when it was on sale
Chinatown wars is the kind of GTA game that could get a nice switch port, assuming V isn't coming of course
60fps with dips
summary again:

I think I might just get the Doom collection on Steam after hearing the slower music in videos. Plus the Steam collection has Plutonia and other things these games don't, I think.
Just one question for those of you who have the original Doom games through steam: Can I easily use my game pad or controller? I don't want to use M&KB but I know the games are so old and have no idea if there's controller support.

When you get the Steam release you can use the wads with GZDoom, I think that is the better choice than using the DosBox variant.
GZDoom has Controller support for XInput and DInput.
So does any one have any screen grabs of the video comparison between this new port and the old Xbox 360/PS3 ports?
I remember reading that this one looks worse and has slowed down music in comparison?

Even back in 2004 the gunplay felt weak and the AI subpar. I like the game, but I think all it really had going for it was it being a tech showcase. It's still cool to look at today.
It's the version I grew up with. Aubrey Hodges did a great job on the soundtrack and I loved the new sound effects. The framerate makes it hard for me to play these days though.
Yup, activating any cheats disables trophies for that save file
