E1M1 gets remade...again

[SyntherAugustus]

Some guy is making a ut2004 port for E1M1. It looks pretty good so far. Take a look.

It's not done yet, but I'll look after it.

[Fredrik]

No, it looks bad. And a really bad texture of mine is in there, too.

[Job]

I remember when someone did E1M2 for Unreal. I was wondering how long it'd be until someone did something like this.

[Sharessa]

Why the Hell does this guy want to remake E1M9 and TNT map01?

[Epyo]

Lolz I see a railgunner!

Anyhoo, I like it, it looks pretty good.

[DooMBoy]

It's very pretty looking, but why not go the whole hog and redo the entire first episode of Doom instead of just doing one level?

[gatewatcher]

It looks just like the original, making the remake pointless.

[Dittohead]

heh looks like Jdoom a little.

Now that we are discussing remakes/remixes of Doom maps, check this out:

Lively Complex -- 01
Lively Complex -- 02
Lively Complex -- 03
Lively Complex -- 04
Lively Complex -- 05
Lively Complex -- 06
Lively Complex -- 07

It's a remix of Dead Simple, by me, for Generations Arena.

Pimp :-)
Dead Simple again!? Are you, like, obsessed with that map or something? Anyhoo, those screenies are teh awesome - I can't wait to see what magic you're gonna pull off with Doom 3.
If you're ever gonna need a beta tester for your Doom 3 maps, count me in!

[LorD BaZTArD]

Nice map Shaviro, but I'm confused as to how it's a remake of dead simple? *Last shot loads* Aha, there we go...but why all the industrial style stuff around it? Like the name too. Heh, I'll agree with DSM. I'll gladly beta-test *cough* any map you make. Can't wait to play this as well, Generations this is for...I thought they finished working on that actually?

[Lord FlatHead]

Needs more polygons.

Remix, not remake - there's a subtle difference there.

I agree. The author should have added a lot more polygons and lighting effects to make it graphically up to par with the other UT2K4 levels.

[Reisal]

Looks pretty good.

[deathbringer]

Heh, i remember back when doomworld had a "pic of the day", there was a run of E1M1 remakes in various platforms, UT, Half life, Duke ect...

Yes, god forbid someone should try to remake a level to look a lot like the original, ya know, for nostalgia and stuff.

[Fletcher`]

You know, if someone's gonna make a remake of a doom map, they should use av map20.

[Bucket]

I don't see how this map utilizes Unreal's advanced features. I mean, does the nostalgia factor include having no freedom that you didn't have in the original? Hell, it might as well be a Quake map-- or at best HL's DMClassic mod.

[myk]

It indeed does use Unreal's advanced features... thus you can see it on an Unreal screen shot. Obviously, the guy did it from the perspective of an Unreal editor/player (aiming to catch the style of the original), not of a DOOM editor/player (using Ureal as an excuse to add features not possible in the original.)
