What makes this game so aesthetic?

I'm pretty sure "aesthetic" is a non-predicative adjective. A game can't "be" aesthetic.

The soundtrack, the darkness, the over the top gore as you can see from your picture. The game is creepy and really gets your heart pumping, especially on the harder difficulties. This is the best Doom in my opinion, and everything a doom game was meant to be.

it was the worst version of doom. there was nothing aesthetically pleasing about it. the graphics were terrible, as was the audio and sound effects. the drawing distance of the 3d objects continually masked by shitty fog. this is what happens when you let midway license your IP for consoles: you get trash.

Holy fuck imagine being this gay. If anything Doom 64 is one of the best games in the series. How you can call the graphics trash is beyond me, but given that you'd call it the worst when games like Doom 3 and the Jaguar/SNES ports exist is pretty telling of how stupid you are, so everyone can safely disregard your opinion.

Good use of lighting and colors, sleek weapon designs, enemies that actually look demonic and not like neon cartoon monsters, etc. One thing I loved about this game is the skyboxes, they really help set the tone of the levels and make you feel like you're on some isolated space station or in the depths of hell. I always thought the ones in the PC games looked like dogshit.

Great game, PC fags are still salty it only came out on N64 so they will forever try to convince you that it's a piece of shit.

It's art direction was far more focused on being horror themed than the original.
Midway had shown that they wanted to make a doom game in this style with the Playstation port that featured redone lighting and sound, but the assets remained the same.
The tone of the story is also more grim, with doomguy being a paranoid PTSD sufferer sent back into action after the events of Doom 2.

I first played through the game on Project64 emulator. Don't remember if i unlocked the special laser weapon for the final boss. I think you had to collect its hidden parts on the way.
There was a fan conversion for the Doomsday engine (Doom64EX?) and more recently, BrutalDoom64, which adds Doom2 monsters that were not featured in D64, such as Revenants, with new assets to match the original aesthetic.
I think all the remakes have the same maps and use the same assets. Were there more remakes?

Oh shut up faggot. There's absolutely nothing wrong about playing the game the way it was originally intended. If you're too retarded to play a game without vertical aiming on an analog controller you shouldn't be on this board. The game is still awesome on N64 to this day.

Yeah there's Doom 64 TC which was superseded by Doom64 EX (maybe the most 'faithful' recreation, it uses the original data) but then there's Doom 64: Retribution which is made for gzdoom and there's also Doom 64 for Doom II: Respawned which is exactly what it says. Then there's BD64 as you mentioned too, who knows there might be more I don't know about.

I'm quite fond of Doom 64: Retribution as a whole polished package designed to work well with my sourceport of choice, as well as it's additional episodes.

This game is by far my favorite doom, all the textures are so good, I love the art style, pretty much all the redesigns, horror soundtrack is amazing, I'm honestly surprised to see doom 64 being posted about on here.

No they're not. I recommend you give them a fair go, most PC K&M purists change their views after being on controller for a while. The original doom was also designed to be played without a mouse. K&M obviously have an advantage but turning 180 degrees in an instant isn't a realistic manoeuvre, as stated you should have enough brains to play the game without that level of aim and turning quickness.
