I picked up Doom and Doom 2 on PS4 this week. They are discounted right now, but itās not as if they are expensive anyway. I have not played either since their original releases. I will probably not be very good at them. I have vague memories of Doom 2 in particular being difficult and the final boss impossible for me.

In a DF Retro exclusive, John Linneman talks with Nightdive Studios about the process of bringing the classic, totally original Nintendo 64 rendition of Doom over to the current-gen platforms. In this video, youāll see what made the original release so fascinating, while Nightdive staff tell all on how the game was reverse-engineered and delivered on current-gen platforms. Oh - and is this the first 1440p Xbox One S game?

Favourite vanilla map? For me itās E4M2.
this is kind of a hardcore pick but yeah E4M2 fucking rules lol, E4 is absolutely the best episode in The Ultimate Doom. itās just so incredibly mean on UV

Yeah E4 has the best aesthetics of any episode, American McGee maps, a NIN reference, whatās not to love
E4M2 is cramped. Itās such a fight for space and thatās where Doom combat excells imo. It has great traversal loops with lots of verticality.
For people who like E4 the obvious recommendation is Sigil but my second pick would be Crusades.

Iāve encountered an annoying bug in the PS4 port of the original Doom. Half the time when I die, the respawn doesnāt trigger. The game is not frozenāI can still open the map and change weaponsābut Iām stuck forever and can do nothing but exit or load a save. And, of course, I rarely remember to save so I have to repeat at least a few levels each time.
I even tried enabling the āgod modeā cheat. But that didnāt help. My life refilled and I was still stuck.
One of the many things I had forgotten about Doom is that there are secret levels. I stumbled upon one last night and it sure was difficult. (I didnāt beat it. I tried a few times and then hit the bug I just mentioned.)

Finally getting around to playing John Romeroās Sigil. Itāsā¦ different.
I finished the fourth episode of Doom today. I donāt know that I was aware that a fourth episode existed. Given that it was released so much later, I was a little disappointed not to see new textures and things.
Itās hard to imagine playing Doom on the highest difficulty levels. I guess it would help to be familiar with the areas, as opposed to wandering aimlessly and being constantly surprised by enemies like me.
A few levels took me forever because I didnāt know where to go next. In most cases, Iād missed a switch. The worst case of this for me was the second level in Thy Flesh Consumed. At first it was because I didnāt remember that there was a sprint button. And then, even with that, I had a hard time finding the way forward.
Now Iāll have to decide whether to jump right in and play some of the add-on level packs or finally try this copy of Final Fantasy 15 that Iāve had lying around for months. (Seeing half my contact list playing the FF7 remake reminded me that Iāve never even inserted the disc.)

glad you liked them! iām happy i finally managed to go back and finish those up (well, with the exception of Doom 1 E4 i guess, which i may or may not do). i do feel like i repeated myself a lot, esp in the Doom 2 one because my feelings about the game are a little more mixed.
anyway thatās probably why iām not going to do Final Doom or the Master Levels or anything though since i feel like itās just easy to repeat myself over and over again and itās well-tread ground. but i will continue to sporadically make those Doom Mixtape videos about PWAD levels i like
