Play Doom With Doom 3
by Chris Remo, Dec 15, 2005 10:15am PSTLast week, a mod team released Classic Doom 1.0. The project is a Doom 3 mod that recreates the original Doom in today's technology, and it has been extremely well received by those who have tried it out. You can download it from FileShack.
However, there are always those of us with fond memories of 1993 and the original Doom game, and just going around... well kicking ass. When Doom 3 was released, I decided to try my hand at mapping. I had no idea where to start so I figured I do something relatively easy by today's standards - the angular corridors of The Ultimate Doom's E1M1. So I did, and I enjoyed it. I finished the first version of it, and saw with the knowledge I had developed in the process of making it, that it was pretty bad. So I remade it. Scrapped that and remade it again. I developed this version and as I developed it, I changed things about the game and turned it into the basis for a mod.The latest build, the first one made available to the public, features deathmatch. There's no cooperative mode yet, but the website claims it's a sure thing, it's just a matter of time. Hooray!

id Software, if you're reading this, contract these guys out to finish off the rest of DOOM and maybe even DOOM II and release it as a commercial expansion pack
You'll be doing yourselves a favor since these guys will be cheaper than doing it yourselves.
You'll be doing them a favor by giving them professional experience with a AAA developer.
You'll be doing gamers a favor since we'll see the result of this quicker.
And you'll do yourselves another favor by having a second commercial expansion pack. Might even move some more copies of PC DOOM 3. Or maybe pull a "Blue Shift" and make it a standalone dealie.
Just an idea.

VERY well put together. This isn't some lame attempt at a port. The team did a great job. The addition of cutscenes is nice. They are also very well put together. They gameplay is very true to the original.
Lots of nostalgia. *sniffles* I remember playing this on a 486DX/33. This Doom 3 port plays just as fast on my 64-3200/X850XT as the original! Pretty amazing how far things have come in what, 12-13 years? Doom wasn't even true 3D!
Looking forward to the second and third episode!
