DOOM 64 announced for Nintendo Switch, out on November 22 (Ported by Nightdive Studios)
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
Okay so we are going to automatically assume that only Doom 3 should be used as evidence that 64 HAS to be good and completely ignore 1 and 2?
It looks a lot brighter than the original game, but I imagine they'll have an option for brightness if it's anything like the Turok ports. Now the only problem is the long wait.
devs that ported Turok 1 and Turok 2is awesome, they would hardly screw up a big release like D64. If they did then something is wrong (or Bethesda is just rushing this port out)
Of all the 'later today' and stuff announcements, this game, one of the ones I was looking forward to the most is of course randomly not coming until NOVEMBER. :|
lol. *cries*
lol. *cries*
So this has to be like a preorder bonus for Doom Eternal, right? I don't understand why you'd release it on the same day if it weren't.
This version of Doom 64 was rebuilt from the ground up & is really Doom 64 EX, a custom PC port, the source code for these older games is mostly lost.
DOOM 64 is so good, even on the original hardware it still holds up great.
I'm sure the announcement is just coming later, it's not atypical of Direct announcements for there to be a delay.

Damn that trailer was bright, I know the original game is a bit too dark but this was overkill, hope there's a slider or something to adjust it.
Great news. DOOM 64 was the first DOOM game I ever played, and is one of the most underrated games out there.
I remember being genuinely creeped out at the mood and atmosphere in this Doom. There were a few moments it legit scared me. Years ago. I'll probably be fine playing it in 2019.
Didn't realise it was the same date as the new Doom, hmm a bonus for people buying that too would make sense. Why else would you release 2 Doom games on the same day?
Personally I'll be playing Doom 64 before the new one lol, I want to play the new one but I don't buy many new games at launch - can swing the cost of a retro release though.
I'm just really happy to have a modern way to play this classic, for so many years it had been 'forgotten' to time despite everyone actually loving it!!
It really was a fantastic N64 exclusive.

Oh, I'm there. I am in. I am sold.
If the recent rumors about Doom Eternal's potentially bonkers-assed narrative are true, this re-release is even cooler.

Doom 1 on and 2 arnt that bad on switch just lower audio quality I think.
Jeff needs a Doom 64 reappraisal. I'm guessing he didn't enjoy it much at release because it was behind the times graphically and gameplay wise in the age of Quake, Goldeneye etc.
Jeff is doing the thing here where he's decided his opinion is the same one everyone else has.
This will be Switch exclusive?
Was this part of that batch where he had to pump out 100 reviews in a month? Sure seems that way.

it's great but definitely a sleeper critical hit. like 10+ years ago nobody could give two shits about it
wasn't until a decade after doom 3 people realized they actually preferred just running around and shooting shit. and in that light it was like "hey, that one for N64 was pretty bitchin"
Honestly, this is why I don't like that guy at all or Giant Bomb. Constant negativity and concern trolling and a fanbase that listens to them as gospel. That weak ass drive by take and you won't get it? Seriously? He didn't even say why it was bad.
Game is fantastic and one of the best Doom to console conversions at the time (I know it's an original game).
The good things about Jeff revolve around his incredible insight into an industry he has spent decades covering, not his game opinions. His taste in games has been ridiculed since the 90s, it's not why he is such a legend.
I've worked as a journalist and have utmost respect for his chops as far as that goes. But what I said is still what I think. (Also, he did make his career off reviewing...so I feel like you're downplaying things for some reason)
So could it be argued as a "proper" DOOM 3, that's more in the vein of the first two games? If so that does interest me.
Wikipedia states that Doom 64 is a sequel to Doom II:
