Thanks for the tip, on the web it said unavailable, but it was out on the eshop
Cleared the first half dozen or so levels so far. Loving it. Nice and fast paced, weapons pack a nice punch and the game doesn't waste time getting different enemies appearing. Can't wait to play more.

dunno why PSN is so slow to update their stuff (try to see if it's any different by going there on your actual console, not the website if you're using that. cause that's how you get around it on Switch since their web-versions of the store haven't updated yet).
well I do have the entire soundtrack embedded from the bandcamp link, so ... :)
Man, this is just fantastic. My only experience with Doom 64 was playing it for 10 minutes at a sleepover when I was in elementary school. I love Doom, but never had a 64 of my own until just a couple years ago (without a CRT to play it on).
Gameplay-wise, this could be my favorite of the classic Doom games. The weapons so far feel so meaty and satisfying. I'm switching weapons regularly just because they all feel amazing. The regular shotgun just feels right.
I booted up Eternal first and played through one level of that, but I think I'm going to focus on 64 before I get back to that. Can't wait for the new chapter.

Didn't think to check the binds, thanks. And with binds being a thing I should be able to get the SNES controller up and running tonight after work
Anyone have Switch impressions. Likely going to grab it there too but wondered what the controls were like since both Doom 1 and 2 have some weird latency issue
Played this for the first time last night while waiting for DOOM Eternal to unlock and it's a lot of fun. Was always put off by the graphics of the 64 original but the cleaned-up higher resolution (and brightened) visuals look great. Very creepy horror vibe, especially with the Aubrey Hodges OST. Will get around to a full playthrough once I'm done with my first playthrough of Eternal.
Only thing I want modded in is a reload animation for the pump-action shotgun. Those few frames of animation in the original Doom changed everything for me.

God, this game is so good. It's a weird blend of high-detail sprites, N64-era blocky environments and blazing-fast framerates, and the art design is completely different from Classic DOOM, but boy does it feel great to play. I should probably just buy it on Switch though, I'd much rather tool around with it in handheld.

Thanks. What better way to pay homage to the very first website I designed exactly 20 years ago with those exact stupid animated torches n shit XD
Haha perfect.

If you're on PC, try lowering the resolution as far as it will go (640x480 for me) and enabling integer scaling if your graphics card supports it (my RTX 2080 does). IMO this really completes the retro vibes.
Curious about what people are listening to while playing. I'm not quite vibing with the ambient soundtrack here.
If I own every other Doom game on Steam, can I access any of their soundtracks through Steam to play while playing this?

Amazon delayed shipping Eternal until next week (understandably) so I'm hoping to dive into this tonight as they still sent me the preorder code.
It's a wonderful alternative to Eternal. In fact, I'd say it's almost the antithesis to Eternal, and would be a wonderful companion game. Both take different aspects of Doom and run with them wonderfully.

Oh no, I think I remember that lightning strike lolHaha perfect.

Why not just play them through winamp/whatever the kids use these days to play music files
I actually played through Doom 64 back in the day... with cheats... and map mode because I was a chicken.
Time to repent for your sins dude. Dark room. Headphones. No surrender.

I'm in the mood for some doom. Beaten my backlog and want something new to play, for five bucks, I may bite on the switch version
Oh man, pleasant surprise to see this released on Steam today! Looks like I'll be playing Doom 64 tonight!
I would love to see a video analysis of this version, doom 64, and doom 64 ex. Sure most of it might go over my head but it would be an interesting watch to see the differences between all versions and how they might handle things differently. Anyway congrats to nightdive on a good port of the game, they have really been killing it lately with all these awesome updated versions of games.
Is there any reason that anti-aliasing is default "off" in the menu? And has anyone toyed around with the FOV setting on console?
So yea, up to level 10 and so far this is better than Doom 1 and 2. My only real gripe is the super shotgun doesn't have that cool reload animation after every shot. It feels stiff but it still packs a punch.
I haven't touched the AA on X but considering there are no jaggies at this resolution I see no reason to put it on.

Any impressions on the Switch port?
I have an Xbox One X and a PS4 Pro, but I feel this game should be played on a Nintendo console.

You can unluck Level Select by clearing "Hectic".
The super secret level accessed from level 1.
Beat the first two levels so far. It runs great and I don't notice any input lag at all
I wrote a DOOM64 strategy guide for Millennium Publishing back in the day. That final level 1 backwards-barrel secret was a *bitch* to discover.
So I just got my code for Doom 64 via email from Best Buy. Email was titled "Bethesda PC Redemption Download." I guess it was just a case of automated emails not being adjusted for the early release.
Couple of levels in on the default difficulty and seems pretty easy so far, might restart on a higher one
Played Doom 1+2 recently and all the new engine tricks they can do with this are pretty neat
