I've never played Doom 64
Check out DOOM 64: Absolution if you want to play a version of it on PC. 64 is the one console version of the game that's definitely worth playing.

Doom 64 was $126 CDN back in the days. I rented it twice and beat it. I remember the final area being super scary. The music was pretty bad though.
what!? the music was awesome! I admit it was more atmospheric and ambient than the rock-like music of I and II but it was still awesome and it was really scary.

Also, the new popular shooters have the "Unlock more powerful gear the more you play" thing that kill the competitive scene. It's not Who's the Best, but Who has played more.

Where?I remember some footage of Doom 64 II, wished it was released
Bethesda seem reluctant to release sales figures beyond the month of October. Surely it's sold at least a million by now.
Oh man, I have to try that, thanks
Also, talking of Doom, have you guys played Doom: The Roguelike? It's a very simple roguelike, based in Doom, with the music, sound and enemies of the game. It's pretty good. Well, the other day they released DoomRL 0.9.9.6, the graphical release, with a tileset by Derek Yu, the author of Spelunky.
EDIT: Also, shouldn't someone update the topic? id said that the images aren't of Doom 4
Where?
It was canned quite fast.
That's not what they said.
Interesting. I'd played the RL before, but I didn't know about this graphical update. Not that I was having too much issue mapping the graphics out in my head, but still.Also, talking of Doom, have you guys played Doom: The Roguelike?

Doom 64 is the best Doom.
Yes, yes it is.
Best soundtrack in the series too. Fuck that rock and roll shit
I'm not entirely sure what Halo or Call of Duty added that would add a "level of sophistication not present in the original Dooms". Can you elaborate?
.
Halo's combat mechanics and AI are on a completely different level. I don't even like that series but I have to admit it's one intense and dynamic game on Legendary. People don't want to circle strafe mindless drones while hunting for keys in mazes anymore.
That's ok, RAGE took care of that AI problem. It'll be present and possibly better in DOOM 4 and you'll forget all about...Haloololol.

Just popping in to join in on the Doom 64 love. But the game needed the same awesome thrash metal MIDI music from the PC games.
Dunno. Didn't appear in NPD top ten after the first month. Not sure how it did in the UK. I guess it should have passed a million with PC DD figures but i get why they won't make a statement for it. ~1M is likely to be less than they were hoping for and surely not nearly enough for all the years it took them.
D64 was close to being the best in the series but yeah, the music needed a little variety. I love the brooding ambient stuff. But it needed something to break it up a bit. Also, they took out some of the best enemies- the commandos, arch-viles, spider mastermind and revenants. If they could have loaded these enemies in plus a 2-player co-op it'd be no contest for me.
ok; does the leaks mean anything negative for development? I am used to leaks being a sign of going under, but not id.
Is Doom 4 still on course?

Can't agree more. QL is also a large part of why my faith in id is pretty much lost.Every regular quaker is now playing Quake Live, but id Software doesn't allow the mods on Quake Live... So id software killed a lot of work of the community.
Damn those guys
I want more of this.
I know Quake 4 doesn't get much love here but man... There was some pretty fucked up shit in that game.I wanted to quote this because I think Doom 4 has an opportunity to kick up the sickness factor of the content matter in which we're dealing with.
Quake in some ways got this right (the first one) over even Doom but I want to see the grotesque side of 'Hell on Earth'.
