Doom in your "Living" Room.

Recommended Posts

I Just Got my hands on Final Doom For PSX!! And I should have a copy of Doom64 by this time next week. JOY! I've been playing Final doom pretty solidly all day. up to level 19 : The deepest Reaches (on UV, Of coarse!). Ahh, it takes me back to when I first got doom for PSX. it was after I got The Ultimate Doom for PC, but before I got Doom II. I wasn't anywhere near the doom freak then as I am now. I Grabbed it thinking "I'll probably never buy doom II for PC anyway. so what the hell." heh. I happy to say that I was Wrong.

After I first finished doom PSX for the first time, I Made it my mission to get doom on every platform in my possession. And I’m slowly getting there... but after next week, It will be a really. I really wish I had A surround sound type setup, just so I could finish all the console doom over on it.

Sorry if I'm just rambling on. but I'm as giddy as a kid in a candy store. I have been in a fantastic mood all day... Um maybe I should get to the point:

1)I have never played Doom64, Or seen it played. I've seen screen shots, read reviews, Ect. what would Interest a PC and PSX veteran about Doom 64?

2)What would you think Would be a good home theater setup for console dooming?

Edit: Happy?

That was a Type-O. :P It's not so much my spelling anymore as it is my keyboard skills. I’m trying to learn touching typing. as you can see, I’ve got a long way to go.

LEARN TO TOUCH TYPE IN NOTEPAD NOT ON THE FORUMS! Yes, heh, I'm happy now, though you've still got a "Doom 46" in there, rofl.

Doom 64 is very different to PSX Domm, which is essentially loyal to PC Doom. You'll have to play it and see.

Doom 46

/me bursts into uncontrollable laughter

Seriously, though, Doom64 rocks. The graphics are the best yet seen for a console version of Doom, the levels are well-designed and fun to play in, the sound effects are hair-raising, the new enemy designs for some of the demons are badass (especially the Demon) and the one new weapon, the UnMaker, is cool as well. Believe me, you will LOVE Doom64.

That, the shotgun has no reloading animations and the status bar isn't there.

On the flip side, the Demon, Baron, and Imp sprites look very cool. As do the weapons sprites.

I dunno...I tend to agree. I've never played the game seeing as how I like to stay the Hell away from consoles, but all the sprites I have seen looked ugly as shite.

I haven't played it either, but I've read a whole heap... ahem.

THINGS THAT'D INTREST A DOOM VETERAN:

All new maps.
One new weapon, the UnMaker.
New "pentagram" powerups. There are only three in the whole game, and they supercharge the UnMaker, and close off the monster spawners in the final boss map.
All new sounds and art.
One new monster: Nightmare Imp (Dark purple, slightly stronger, hides in dark areas)
A new final boss: The Mother Demon (The ultimate evolution of the Archvile. Doesn't take TOO much of a beating, in fact, a UnMaker that's been supercharged three times over can kill her in four or five seconds!)
And quite possibly the harded Super Secret Level ever to hit DOOM. Cheats don't work in it. Ouch!

Danarchist, you have angered the console gods! Prepare to be beaten with an assortment of Contra, Castlevania, Metroid, Bomberman, and various Technos cartridges. Further imputence will be punished with all 462 versions of Street Fighter 2.

I haven't played a single one of those games. Ever. Wait, I did play bomberman once. It was okay I guess.

The Mother Demon's monster design is...ugh, well, it sucks. The idea of a Mothere Demon, if executed right could be terrifying and/or demonic, but a giant rat with four arms? Please.

Every one of those games listed is lame, especially metroid.

EarthBound forever.

Fuck you. :P

If you don't like it, wellmeh. That's your opinion. On the other hand, I think the Metroid series is one of the best gaming series ever. And it is coming to Gamecube and Gameboy Advance later this year (which is teh awesome shiznit)...

Bomberman rules as well, so does Contra, so does Street Fighter...

/me ends his rambling
