It sure is. It's also a really great game and I'm beyond thrilled at this news.
WHY NOT DOOM 3 THO!!!! :(
(love that they put this in, even though I'm not sure how useful this is for a classic Doom-game ... it was sorely missed in Doom3 ... but also great that they put it in the PS4 version as welL!)

Other things in the article are that the Unmaker is going to be in DOOM Eternal and DOOM 64 will be sold separately for 4.99 USD.
Awesome, Doom 64 was incredible at the time as a Doom fan. Sadly it was trolled hard just because it wasn't "full 3D" as Turok or Goldeneye.
By the way, is this the official name of the new port? Doom 64? I was thinking this could be a problem with Nintendo on some other platforms, but I guess I'm wrong.

Yup, that sounds like Kaiser. He's been out of the level design community for a while because of source port work, but I'm expecting great things from him doing new stuff for Doom 64. Guy absolutely deserves kudos for what he's accomplished, before and after Nightdive.
It also has by far the coolest weapon in Doom history in the Unmaker, which is
So excited that more people will be able to play this amazing game, and awesome that the devs are expanding on it.

Nintendo can't hold a copyright on the number 64 in and of itself or the naming convention therin.
Where are the 60 missing games between Doom 3 and Doom 64?
Doom 64 is more Relevant cannon wise as it is presumed that the Doom slayer is Doom Guy from D64 is him after he got stuck in hell after killing the mother demon. So the sarcophagus is the being that killed her when it is unearthed

At that price, might as well, don't really have time for Doom Eternal at the moment as I haven't finished the first and I'm clearing out my backlog for FFVII Remake. But I'll probably jump on it.
How much you want to bet they're going to use at least a tiny bit of the new content to make the link between DOOM 64's original ending and the start of DOOM 2016 even more explicit?
aren't the new games supposed to be reboots that ignore the previous canon?
They're on those bootleg megawad CDs you'd find in a mall in the mid 90s.

Definitely doing that got it for my Xbox preorder but will want this on the go.
And is also more DOOM 3 than the actual DOOM 3 is DOOM 3.
Sort of? It takes the broad strokes of DOOM 1, 2 and 64 without being explicit.
Well, the game has recently been decompiled!

I'd love a version of Doom that lets you mix and match elements of all the different Doom ports.
Like you could have the levels and lighting of PS1 Doom, and the music from 3DO Doom.
DOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM 64
I'm hyped to play it
for $5 it's a god damn steal
I was going to buy it on Xbox one then try to trade the code for a switch code but now I'll just buy it on the eshop :D

Clever move on Bethesda's part! Anybody who has already played Doom 64 EX gets a new reason to get excited here.
The latter was known already for quite some time.
DOOM 2016 contains a reference to DOOM 64 lore.
