Doom 2 Coming to Xbox Live Arcade

by Alice O'Connor and Chris Faylor, Aug 13, 2009 8:58am PDT

An Xbox Live Arcade version of id software's 1994 shooter Doom II: Hell on Earth is being shown on the floor at QuakeCon, expected to be officially announced later today.

A split-screen snapshot from our man on the scene, and the PC original.

A whole new episode will be included, along with all of Doom 2's original content. Four-player split-screen multiplayer will be available in addition to online play.

Neither release date nor price are currently known for the port, which is being handled by Doom XBLA porter Nerve Software.

I know this is a bit cynical but....
The doom 1 and 2 engine are identical (When patched) - what the fuck took this long to get this out? Why wasn't this out 3 months after Doom 1?
This completely reeks of it being timed perfectly for maximum $ - wait until the Doom 1 sales are completely and utterly dwindled and milked then strike with this. Is Nintendo helping them out with this?

lol @ most of the original screenshots using God mode. Probably necessary to get the best angles on some of the monsters though.

Oh fuuuuu

Online play! Man, I killed some hours playing this on LAN and on BBS systems. One of the local BBS had a game connection plugin that let us play 3-4 player over modems. We had to set ticdup up a bit and it felt a bit laggy and made you turn in like 1 degree increments, but damn it was fun.

This could bring back a lot of memories. Back in the days before people understood circle strafing, etc.

fucking finally

The Doom XBLA port was great, apart from (apparently) a few bugs that were carried over from an out-of-date version of Doom. I look forward to this, I hope it gets a quick release like Doom XBLA did.

If it comes out at 1200 points though I swear I'm going to tear someone a new one.
