Why is this game so praised?

[Anonymous No.5720170]

The new OST kills the tone of the original and while the colored lighting is sometimes nice looking I feel it changes the look of the game a bit too radically as well as being too dark a lot of the time.

It distinguished itself from the fifty other ports by replacing the soundtrack with an ambient one, as well as adopting unique sound effects and colored lighting.
You can always play the original.

The music it the tone better on N64. Its a shame the cd based systems didnt all have sweet ass live remakes of dooms buttrock

Exactly, it did it's own thing well instead of being another failed shitty port.

Because it came out only a couple years after the PC version, runs at full resolution, a decent framerate, has most of the content, and plays well.

It was a very nice play on the original and thus a good addon to Doom's legacy.
Albeit the colored lighting is nice the 4bit textures are not. The slower frame rate paired with the pretty cool music gives it more of a horror movie feel. It was an absolute blast in coop - we were hooked to the screen for hours on end.

Because it changes things, there's actually a reason to bother playing Doom on PS1 instead of on PC.

Soundtrack was good
Gun sounds were GOD tier when compared to the original
Ambient noise & lighting was also good

I used to get scared playing this as a kid.

Why is being posted out of the general?
Also OP it was praised for having the best frame rate at the time, having the most levels of any port at the time, and it controls very well. The OST is the cherry on top, the PC version has great tracks but when you are stuck on a level, hearing the same midi for thirty minutes gets more tiring than the ambient tracks on loop.

>no arch-vile
>slow as molasses revenant
>tnt and specially plutonia were butchered in favor of shitty master levels for doom II
>shitty watered down sound effects for the weapons

The only non shit console port of doom is doom 64.

Calling the n64 game a port is like calling an artificial heart sugury an organ transplant. Technically true, but shit ve heavily different, yo

Are you pretending to be retarded? The N64 version doesnt have archvile OR revnant. It has the same sounds too. PSX Doom and N64 Doom are both good but your memory is failing you, anon. If you played Doom 64 right now, you would be buttblasted judging by your complaints

Probably because he didn't want to discuss it with the r*edit zoomer colony.

Doom 64 is good and all, but in the end of the day, I'd stick with PSX Doom, which keeps the original aesthetics plus colored lighting, has the same sounds, same OST but with higher quality, and has more monster types than D64.

[Anonymous No.5721886]

>>5721739
Yeah, most Doom ports back then had only the original three episodes, if they were lucky, most missed even Inferno. Then a port comes up which has not only the three episodes, but episode 4 AND all of Doom 2. Why the fuck that could be considered "bad"?

[Anonymous No.5721889]

>>5721828
Is it really necessary to have multiple threads about the same game? Sure your explanation might make sense but out of the general, people call each other redditors and zoomers anyway so the purpose is lost there. Also why give a shit about other websites and new age buzzwords? I thought this board was for the past, not the present

Doom PSX was my first Doom, so I like the weapon sounds. The chaingun and plasma gun are pure upgrades, the rest are debatable. The music for the PC version suits a jacked up marine ripping and tearing perfectly, but as PSX Doom goes more atmospheric with the lighting I think the same goes for the music. I love the theme music the PS1 version has though, the title and episode ends both have a version. And damn, the episode ends having that voiceover was pure kino. Your total inability to savescum in the PS version was probably a bonus, but I feel less ongoing monster ai/no archviles/easier chaingunners make for an easier game.

Having played PC Doom I know which I'd rather play today but there's a mod to have the PS version assets, lighting and level data (there are changes based on RAM usage, some levels changed/added, that sort of thing). The Doom 64 mod does the same for that game too, but it is very much its own game.

Yes, but does your Doom have voiced victory texts? I thought so

Do you play Resident Evil before or after this game for spooky Saturday night?

Is there a way to replace the audio files with the original OST?

[Anonymous No.5723082]

>>5720170
All things considered, it's actually a pretty great port. I think a lot of people overstate the horror aspect of the port because they played it when they were kids and kind of sucked balls at it. If you know your Doom maps well, you can kill about as fast as the PC version and the spooky music feels like it clashes with the very much not vulnerable gameplay.

I like this version but the major problem is that it's way too dark in some places.

Wtf were they thinking with that cover though?

This is legit the best version of Doom. Especially a refreshing change after playing Doom 1 and 2 on PC, then playing this to see the major differences. Out of the vanilla campaigns; this is my favorite way to play them.
