Is Doom dead?

all of those questions are answered here

Would anyone be up to make a V9 of pic related? It's been a while.

>is there a /vr/ guide on how to get into it?
Yeah.
Basically just get GZDoom and put the wad files (doom.wad, doom2.wad) in the same folder and you're good to go.

This image is due for an update soon. It still recommends PrBoom+ when DSDA-Doom and Woof! exist.

I'm finally getting around to updating this and I feel like the Unity port should be included somehow. I'm not knowledgeable on the subject at all, so would anyone like to inform me?

Bruh.

Can we PLEASE get an updated version of this image? It's like four years old at this point.
What WADs would you add to it?

Can we someone update this chart?

Play it on PC, it's superior. If you want a suspenseful, dark Doom, play Doom 64, either on N64, or PC. I prefer PC, it has insane framerate, and a badass mod, Brutal Doom 64, recommend playing it after finishing the game.

>- what source ports would you recommend for Doom or Quake, or should I hit Steam/GOG?
The OP post has MEGA links for both Doom and Quake's game files, along with a good amount of other shooters.
As for source ports:
Chocolate Doom is the original game(s), basically exactly how it was in 1993(4). The only changes are that you don't need to fiddle with DOSBox for setup.
PrBoom+ is an enhanced version of the engine, developed by guys who made commercial addons in the 90s. Most maps out there require this port for its features.
G/ZDoom is the port that has all the fancy mods.

For Quake, Quakespasm is the most popular port. If you want/need Vulkan rendering, vkquake is just Quakespasm with Vulkan.
ezQuake for if you want multiplayer.

>- what are the essential mods or maps?
This image is also included in the MEGA links. I don't know how recently it's been updated, but it's a good start.

>- where do I even begin?
Most active places for fan stuff are Doomworld and ZDoom Forums. There's threads and subforums dedicated to new releases and WIPs. You probably don't want to interact with any regulars there though, outside of tech help.

>Also... how accessible is it to get into map/modmaking?
Piss easy, all you need is Doom Builder X or Ultimate Doom Builder for maps. For mods, you want SLADE. But that's accessibility, making something outstanding is something else.

I think it's time for a Doom guide V9

Recommend me some good megawads/packs I've already played just about everything in pic related

If you're using the drag and drop method to load mods then you need to select both, otherwise using something like ZDL.
Read the OP.

>>5553090
okay retard.
What mod on this list is randomly generated?

>>5343919
There's still quite a fair deal of mods that hold up fine, but there's definitely some older stuff such as OMG Weapons & Monsters that nobody talks about, I don't even know what the fuck the deal is with Doom 4-like mods either, and of course there's ZScript stuff too. Also that GMOTA finally got past the 1.0 release hurdle.

The scope of the first is already fuckhuge, but a second optional image to augment coverage to pretty much everything well worth playing could be nice. Perhaps more game recommendations at the end of it too.
