DOOM 64 WAD FOR PC PC

There can be no doubt that this is the fastest version of Doom yet.

On the graphics front, news is more mixed. Midway also clearly had this shift in mind when they added extra bonus puzzles and secrets to some levels, complete with clues and rewards. The levels are designed to maximise suspense and test the player against computer, not human, opposition. Whereas many of the original's levels were designed with multi-player death matches in mind, Doom 64 is purely a one-player game. This reflects a change that goes beyond simply providing something new for people who've played before.

Whereas the PlayStation and Saturn got re-worked versions of PC Doom and Doom II, Midway have created all-new scenarios for the N64. The good news is that, for the most part, our requirements have been met.Įasily the best news is that all the levels are new. We wanted all-new levels, better speed, re-vamped graphics, better sound effects and scarier monsters. Our view (before we saw the game) was that the designers were going to have to do something pretty special with the ageing Doom formula to get it up to N64 standard. For anyone who never really got into Doom-ish games because 'they're too blocky up close,' this one's a definite buy.īut N64 Magazine takes a dim view of old games ported to the N64 from less powerful systems. It does a great job at that but the genre is saturated-I'm about ready to play something else quite honestly and that's not because Doom 64 is a bad game. The only problem I have is that it's a first-person shooter. Plus, the challenge level is turned way up. Since all that's changed is the art style, the levels, a couple of monsters and a couple of weapons, I'm not about to complain. This way, I know what I'm getting into without having to relearn anything about a title I'm comfortable with. I feel that Doom is Doom and Quake is Quake. Purists wouldn't want these features added because Doom wasn't about that stuff. Some of you may want to see your space Marine jumping around or swimming underwater.

Now before you scratch your head, let me explain. The artists and programmers at Midway know what the hell's going on when it comes to Nintendo 64 hardware. First, the graphics are simply stun-ning-the original Doom crew wish they could've done what Midway did. I'm not about to pawn this one off as just another Doom clone.but this applies for more than one reason. Most are animated and add a whole new dimension to the game. Remember to take a look at the backgrounds while playing the game. This is no surprise considering Doom 64 uses all of the new features offered by the Nintendo 64 hardware (like antialiasing and bi/trilinear filtering). We saw this title firsthand, and we're happy to say that the game actually looks as good as the screen shots.

Gamers may be wondering if the screens they've seen from Doom 64 are actual game shots or just renders. Some of the new features in Doom 64 include: completely new level design, new characters, revamped characters and a whole lot more. Since the healing process wasn't quite finished, its resurrecting powers mutated the enemies when they came back from hell (hence the new look). The only enemy left this particular Archvile, healed and slowly started resurrecting its demon pals.

Even though the demon didn't seem to have much of a chance of surviving with the many bullet holes in its gut, somehow the fiend lived. The problem was that one of the Archviles was still barely alive.
