Classic-er Gameplay for Doom 3

[Arioch]

We were informed of a new project that has sprung up recently to re-create the entirety of the first episode of the original Doom in the Doom 3 engine. This Classic Doom for Doom 3 project will feature the original levels touched up with Doom 3 prefabs as well as gameplay adjustments that are aimed to provide an experience somewhat more alike to the originals by tuning weapons, monsters, movement, etc. Screenshots for an early version of the E1M1 replacement are available for your perusal.

fp, interesting.

[SulfurOccult]

o no, my nightmare has come to life.

[Dron]

It looks cool but i'd rather see episode 2 or 3 recreated in doom3. It's good to see that they aren't stealing the original doom textures like some other projects are.

[DarkSoul]

I still rather see Episode 4 remade, but I guess that's not going to happen for a while :(

[Relica Religia]

This is nifty. If they're going to start somewhere, why not start at the very beginning? :P

[Jonathan]

I'd rather PREFABs, because the original Doom PREFABS was PREFABS, much more than PREFABS. Most PREFABS PREFABS, all PREFABS like a PREFABS PREFABS PREBABS. Of course it's all PREFABS.

Pretty good looking, they have a way to go though. But yeah, I'm impressed so far.

[wildweasel]

It looks good so far. I'd go out and buy Doom 3 to play this, except my system can't run it because I'm on Win98 still.

[Dittohead]

wow, a remake that doesn't look like complete crap. I might have to keep my eye on this one.

[mystery8]

Very nice. Was hoping something like this would come along.

[Intel17]

I've seen better remakes of this map for UT2k4...

Why couldn't they have made textures that resembled the originals?

[Bloodshedder]

Buried E1M2 screenshots

[Intel17]

I hate the dull grey theme with all these remakes. grr...

[Shaikoten]

The quality really varies on this thing. Also, it's much easier to see some of the game's graphical flaws with such high light intensity. I don't know what quality this guy's playing his Doom 3 at, but I've never seen it look THIS bad.

I haven't actually looked at the map in the editor, but it doesn't seem he is using area culling...

For a map so small, I was getting terrible fps because of this.

Or if I'm wrong, make fun of me.

take a look at the screenshot of the editor-map, the entire level is set in a hollow box. From the looks of it, I am assuming this guy doesn't know how to fix leaks..

[SulfurOccult]

thats something most Quake 3 map tutorails tell the n00bs to do, because it is easier then teaching them how to map the right way.

[Laguna]

The good lord made pointfiles for a reason, I guess.

[DooMBoy]

w00t

[Terra-jin]

That's very interesting! I'd love to see the true DOOMy gameplay in DOOM 3. It should be possible to attune the monsters and weapons to create DOOM's gameplay style.

[goddard]

Interesting remake, not copy.

[CapNapalm]

I had my doubts at first, but this actually looks pretty cool.

[gemini09]

I think it looks like crap.
Still nice to see it be done though...

Anyone heard of that F.E.A.R. game? Looks and sounds very nice...

[niatsnie]

I do like it myself, props to the guys doing it.

[Mr. NobodX]

It look a bit bland, but apart from that, it's good. Let's just hope ID don't pull the plug on that one...

Care to elaborate?

[Fredrik]

I agree that it looks like crap. Not to offend the authors, but this isn't even remotely up to par with the design of either of Doom or Doom 3.

[kristus]

I downloaded and played it. Not very impressive.
