I was greatly intrigued and disturbed by the odd twitchy thing on the floor in the Demon ambush room.

Doom 64 hardly has anything like that.

Uh, yeah it does. Impaled zombieman being the only thing missing afaik.

You're right about the colour choices in PC Doom making the gore that much more noticeable though.

I think Adrian Carmack's art was much more gripping for me than anything in Doom 64. The hanging limbs from chains, the decapitated heads on poles, the twitching impaled zombieman, the marble pillar with the beating heart, The ripped up Hell Baron's in E2M8. Doom 64 hardly has anything like that.

The amount of color in PC Doom really makes the blood and gory deaths come alive when you see them. Especially the cacodemon's organs gushing out from it's face and the eye popping out and rolling on the ground. That sprite alone has many ranges of colors which really portray what's happening.

Many of the sprites in Doom 64 show the same actions, but the monsters are often camouflaged to the color of the room via colored lighting, which means you hardly see the blood much at all for any of the monsters, only excepting the pinky demon which has a sick death animation, with that stream of blood from it's nose splashing down on it's corpse.

Doom 64 looks creepier overall, but PC Doom has more gore.

Artists of id did high quality stuff and designs.
D64 gfx, esp. monsters, look childish(except for Demon) and has way less detail... reminds me of "artwork" used in early PSX 3d intros.

Put side-to-side with no prior knowledge of which came first, almost everyone would say the PC visuals were the childish ones.

I agree, Doom64's creatures just smack of cheap computer graphics, the kind you'd always see in lame intro movies of games during that era. Some are just trying to hard to look evil or scary and it falls flat. They do fit the feel of the game, but I certainly don't enjoy shooting them as much.

The item objects are mostly well done - they also have a different feel to them... more african voodoo - especially the elongated keys exhibit this. Pretty cool because it feels they're cursed by agyptian gods.
