Nice demonstrative video, just one timeline issue I have with it - Skyrim was *Doomified*, not the other way around. 15 years before Skyrim even released for the first time Doom was already officially ported to 10 if not more systems. The youngings should know the true order of events!

[@DeadPixel1105]

Yeah, if I'm not mistaken, an official port of Doom has released on every single console generation since 1993 - with the exception of the 6th generation. Even if the latest official port was only for one particular console. Every few years, there's always a new official port of Doom.

[@EnvyOmicron]

@@DeadPixel1105 Doom was on the original Xbox, bundled with Doom 3. So the 6th gen is *not* an exception.

[@sharoyveduchi]

@@DeadPixel1105 like EnvyOmicron said there's an official port for Xbox but there's also the GameBoy Advance port which can technically be played on the GameCube using the GBA player. There's also unofficial ports for the Dreamcast and the PS2.

[@LonelySpaceDetective]

I also thought part of the reason people are frustrated with Skyrim's re-releases is that it's been so long but there's still no sign of a new mainline Elder Scrolls any time soon. Meanwhile, DOOM is hardly lacking for sequels, between IV/2016, Eternal and the upcoming Dark Ages. Admittedly my logic may not apply as well to the pre-DOOM 3 and post-DOOM 3 pre-DOOM IV years, but if someone told me "man they're turning DOOM into Skyrim/GTA V", I'd totally be like "my man there is literally an announced sequel in production right now with more footage than TESVI, and you got a whole new game just a couple years ago".

[@harrylane4]

@@DeadPixel1105 no (official) port of doom to the Wii IIRC, so 7th gen is a dud as well

[@CoffeeRampage]

I think this is huge for people who want to get going with custom Boom Wads, who aren't too computer savvy or only have a console. Accessibility for custom content like this is awesome to see.

[@bummbrotha1065]

@@CoffeeRampage Nah, those ports are incredibly easy to set up. But if you are someone like me who has a set-up exclusive for work/hobby related activities, this console release was well needed. I spent 10 bucks on the Switch eshop, and I think it was a great decision.

[@MGMan37]

Unfortunately so many boom features are broken right now. Most of the big names: Eviternity, Going Down, etc. have gamestopping problems due to broken level features. It's a shame Dwars doesn't mention the nightdove doom bugs list thread on Doomworld that makes the star wars theme play in your head as so much text flies up your screen as you scroll through it.

[@MitchellAyres-e5h]

I'm a PC player, but I'm loving this update for playing these wads on the big screen, relaxing on my couch, not to mention the co-op. and without freelook, it plays great on a controller imo. I'm a happy camper

[@TerraKing]

Another thing I’m not sure if you mentioned: Mod search bar. Too many mods/wads have been uploaded the past 3 days, and it would help to have a search bar.

[@Dwars]

That would be very useful!

[@esmerylan]

Also it always dumps you back on the first page when you go back from looking at an individual mod, which is kind of an issue now that there are something like 41 pages of mods to scroll through (and on console- I'm playing the PS5 version- you have to use the shoulder buttons to go through them).

[@zippo71111]

It's also difficult to find a proper working wad if you look for the more recent popular ones, some are directly uploaded without testing which break some levels. Also duplicates, it gets confusing.

[@Jupiter.141]

​@@esmerylan honestly hated it, i really hope that would be fix but I doubt this would get updated often

[@HDeDeDe]

There actually is a search functionality... on the Bethesda website. It's actually pretty good, allowing you not only to search for wads by name but also to filter based on what changes they bring. The only 2 issues with it are that mods only download when you restart doom and that it's not in the game.

[@OmegaEnvych]

I like that this port now properly supports 4:3 resolutions so I can play it without issues on my old CRT monitor. Unity port lacked that feature and game was locked to 16:9 resolutions, making it... awkward.

[@bland9876]

I assume that just like Quake there's an option to turn on a CRT filter so I wonder what that looks like on a CRT? CRT inception lol

[@Quiver333_real]

Some of the user addons are (literally) unreal, it's very chaotic rn. It's also awesome they left an option to come back to the Unity port, it wasn't bad after the 2020 update, but it still had plenty of room for improvements that Bethesda didn't bother with after 2021

[@lizardcommando]

6:54 holy shit, someone uploaded my Lizard Squad mod onto this source port? First off, I'm flattered someone liked my mod enough to do that. Second, there's no way that mod's going to actually work on it since it was designed for the ZDoom/GZDoom source port.

[@bird9188]

the previous "official" rereleases of doom always kind of... sucked, this one looks genuinely looks good though

[@TFYFTFI]

Brutal doom is the perfect example of that because it's a feature creep

[@nightfightsday]

Well, Doom is the most ported game ever made. Think about it, it's on toilets, calculators, prego testers, and microwaves lol. It's been repacked so many times on numerous consoles since the 90s. Skyrim has nothing on Doom when it comes to porting. This re-release is the best bundle I have ever seen yet. It's much better than the last one that came out for Steam and console. One thing right off the bat that I liked, is the fact that internal resolution now scales like it should when you play at 4k. As before it only scaled at 640x480 no matter the res you play on. Which made the game look muddy and blurry. Low res on modern monitors just looks awful. So that is a nice touch, Now we can change the HUD too. So many more cool options.

[@KittycatKye]

At least Doom can run decently on any computer. Skyrim? Not so much. x3

[@HaAJPaAJ]

Proper raw input for mouse and more choice in deathmatch are top priority imo. I'm glad someone found the cause for the backpack bug. There's many weird bugs in this port, but I've really enjoyed multiplayer thus far.

[@ExileHeretic]

I think it's pretty good port. Finally got online MP for consoles. Shame Sigil 2 wasn't made "canon" like Sigil 1 was but that's probably a timing thing and it's in the mod browser anyways. Overall I'm kinda a Nightdive fanboy at this rate. Love to see Quake 3 and 4 get the treatment next and Wolfenstein 3D, if only just so I can comfy couch play those games on my Xbox.

[@FloodclawKupo]

Nightdive always knocks it out of the park, glad to see them finally loop around to DOOM after all the other shooter love they've given.

[@Rad-Dude63andathird]

fingers crossed they just add it in there in an update, it's literally sitting in the featured mods.

[@jakeboles5282]

I'm so glad an official doom port finally has ultrawide support, also Andrew Hulshult's remixes are awesome.

[@ZacharyDietze]

I have hope that most of these issues will be fixed pretty soon if the prior Unity port was anything to go off of. id, Bethesda, or whoever is responsible has been doing a pretty good job at trying to maintain these two games, and I imagine it will only get even better now that Nightdive is involved, which surprisingly took them awhile despite doing work on Doom 64, Quake, and Quake II. I'll pessimistically give it another month or two for some of the worst aspects to already be patched. …Now I wonder if and when Nightdive is gonna get hired to work on Wolfenstein 3D? That game in particular could use a much better port by now since it's long overdue. I hope they can someday work on Quake III Arena and/or Quake Live too if all the deathmatch stuff is anything to go off of. Maybe we can somehow get those combined like they did here with the first two Doom games? Who knows. Turok Rage Wars could be cool too but Nightdive doesn't want to do it iirc, I guess it's too much work or something since they didn't even bother giving Turok 3 its own multiplayer. Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake are much bigger names though, so I'm sure they'll keep doing more stuff for them. Also, minor complaint that barely means anything for most people, but having Doom + Doom II and Quake II with an id Vault and *not* the original Quake kinda feels weird now. I ca excuse Doom 64 since it was made by Midway so idk if they can find all of their remaining archives now that they're long gone, but I'm pretty sure Quake has a good amount of cut content to still go through too, especially since it was originally supposed to be a completely different game at one point. I hope they can update that game again someday to add that in, it doesn't need to be a big update overall, I just think having an id Vault for that would help make things more uniform.

[@bland9876]

I own the Wolfenstein on the 360 and when I bought it on PC (GOG) I was surprised that you can't strafe while looking around.

[@Dinjoralo.]

Not giving any time to Rum & Raisins Doom is perfectly valid, given it's not meant to be used for regular play currently. The projects' Github page says as much, no builds are provided and it should currently be treated as an academic project, because besides the significantly improved software renderer, it's just Chocolate Doom. I'm not downplaying how much work has been put into it, that's just what it is.

[@hydroponicgard]

The green cross incident persists... The curse is still alive... 😔

[@Quiver333_real]

[@pv8685]

yes but the diffrence to the skyrimification is: you get the update for free. and also the wad's so you can play it in every source port you want. the online mode is also very awesome!

[@Quiver333_real]

I swear, every QuakeCon it's a full on buffet dinner for like 10$ I spent on Doom and Quake games on discounts years ago

[@CSD59ALL]

The most annoying part about the mod aspect of this port is that you can’t (or at least I haven’t been able to find a way) to add your own WADs offline so you can just drag and drop. I get why this isn’t on the console, but it feels really weird that there isn’t any real support for it on PC. Plus you can only have ONE mod active. So no stackable mods which seems disappointing. Like it be nice to be able to download music mods and have them stack with texture or other kinds of mods. Have the PSX soundtrack going but with the N64 sprites or something. Overall it’s a decent port, and it’s nice that they gave it out for free to people, but at the same time, there’s ideas here that needed more fleshing out.

[@SimplyGun]

all I need is vertical aim

[@Nob1ej0n]

The keyboard movement felt funky at first, like Doomguy was running through butter, so I turned off acceleration. That didn't seem to do anything until I rebooted. I use the E key for the use action, but, when I bound it, the UI said I bound it to Numlock. And then pressing Q, W, or E (maybe some others) would constantly press use in the background. If I just walked up to a door, it would open automatically. I honestly thought this was an accessibility thing, and frantically looked for an option that didn't exist. It took awhile before I noticed that if I ran up to a wall and just held W to slide along the wall, Doomguy was humping. When I unbound E (aka Numlock) that bug went away. The whole thing crashed on me once while playing and twice while trying to quit. It's a real mess right now. I'm surprised how many people are happy with it. I'm glad I got Legacy of Rust working just fine in MBF21 mode on dsda-doom. But, aside from some wow moments, I really don't care for it. It has the aesthetics of the beta and the difficulty of Sigil 2, both things I don't care for. Pretty disappointed with this port overall. And that really surprised me after how well Nightdive did with DOOM 64 and Quake. Both were excellent, and the new levels in Quake were awesome. It makes this release all the more disappointing.

[@Dochouse12113]

Don’t know if what you hit was patched, but I bound E to use last night and it worked perfectly

another about this update is that they changed the dos version, now it uses dosbox staging (an updated fan project of dosbox) instead of regular dosbox, and has a list which has all of the classic doom games from ultimate doom - final doom.

No matter what the issue or complaint is, Edward always waves it away basically and acts like nothing can be done about it. For example, literally EVERYONE is complaining about the absolute chaos of the community wad/mod uploading in this new Doom port, and Edward's response is just: "So, just report the mods and wads that are questionable. What's the big deal?" The guy is completely useless when it comes to being a middleman between the fans and the rest of the dev team at Nightdive. Whenever anyone tags him in the Doomworld forums, to ask some question or report some issue, I already know he's going to respond with some dismissive nonsense explaining why there's nothing that can be done about it.

Playing this port right now for achievements, and I think it's great! The movement doesn't feel "floatier" like it did in the original unity port, and that was way too much for me. Only the mouse was a bit of a problem for me, but I could get used to it. Pretty neat port afterall. Also, there is a bug with the IDKFA soundtrack on ep. 3 of doom one. For some reason, E3M9 does not play "Hiding The Secrets" properly, it plays the original midi version. I don't know why that happens, but it is a similar thing that happens on ROTT: LE when using Hulshut's renditions of the OST.

The amount of add-ons on Quake enhanced reminds me of the custom levels that were included in the Nintendo 3DS port of VVVVVV. It's a curated list versus just having access to everything.

[@mondosuperior1394]

Yes, you can copy/paste over the IWAD in the folder to make the +'s red again.

[@CoTeCiOtm]

Did they fix that issue of the game letting you save while you're dead from the Unity port? Also, I own a real SC-55, an option to throw MIDI data straight to whatever device available in your system would be ideal (like a Roland UM-ONE USB to MIDI adapter), those recordings of the SC-55 that don't loop really piss me off. For some reason, official ports always end up always being a bit rough on the edges when it comes to the more minute details that feels like unofficial ports have worked out years ago. I recently found a port called Nugget Doom which seems to be a far better fit for me than this new port, honestly. Also, you not being able to run Brutal Doom on this is honestly a fantastic thing.

Finally, An Official Source Port I Recommend! This Is Also The Successor PRBoom+ Needed Since Being Discontinued.

[@TerraKing]

If you still want PrBoom+, get DSDA as it's recommended by literally everyone since it's a fork of it, but it's much more updated and it even have Heretic and Hexen support

[@kilianconn5091]

Better than I thought it would be

[@strongbadman2]

Came here to see if you’d mention anything about the mouse movement, I couldn’t bring myself to play it because of that but I’ll try tweaking the settings some more

[@wolfgangfrost8043]

One bug is that there isn't an easy "in engine" way I've yet seen to bind controls to play with keyboard only or to use a controller setup more like the PS1 / N64 versions that just uses face buttons instead of a second thumb stick. I'm sure it's fine on console, but it's a big issue on PC. It assumes you're gonna use mouse & keyboard, but I found the mouse really weird and floaty even turned down to 36%. I have a layout for laptops where I can circle strafe and still play pretty well on keyboard only, but that's not an option on this port yet.

A few issues I've noticed are: -very narrow weapon pickup windows. I've had a few times where I've gone to run over a weapon and...missed by like a few pixels? The pickup detection seems quite small for them now, though I am mainly using my experience with GZDoom as a reference -Berserk deals inconsistent damage. I've gone to punch an Imp with berserk and instead of one-punching them, they sometimes survive -I did notice on E2M6 that the monster closets containing the pinkies and Barons in the main hallway have a little problem: the pinkies somehow got stuck to each other in the cramped quarters and couldn't move until one of them was dead. They tried, they were running and growling, but until I killed the first one, the they were both left running in place Hopefully these issues will be addressed soon, I'm very happy to see Doom get the Nightdive treatment!

[@AWMonopolyMan]

Berserk has always dealt inconsistent damage, it is all RNG after all

[@gojiradestructor]

@@AWMonopolyMan I see, thanks for the clarification. Normally my RNG is enough to one punch them, so when I was playing Episode 2 I was a little confused that quite a few of my punches weren't one-hitting.

[@patrxgt9691]

It's quite nice, that they've made it and give it for free to people that own original Unity port of Ultimate Doom but I'm going to stick to Cherry Doom with DSDA-Doom for more advanced stuff and GZDOOM for it's exclusive mods. BTW. You should make a video on Cherry Doom. It's a fork of Nugget Doom with cleaned up settings interface and few new neat features, while still being up-to-date with Woof!'s and Nugget Doom's development and codebase.

[@Experiment1233-d7h]

I love Playing this on my PS5 !

[@toastycheesecakesforme1460]

I adore the multiplayer features for consoles it’s so good

[@NicoSeymore]

I miss a decent CRT shader but just added reshade for this. pretty great port tbh. Love that theyre reviving everything. Still hope for a new Quake 1 tho

[@plankera]

What’s wrong with the current remaster?

[@samuelhamuel4689]

At first when I saw the bug with the ouchface occuring a lot after picking up a supercharge/megasphere, I initially thought that nightdive patched in the ouchface behavior from the press release beta, to where if you walk on damaging floor, doom guy makes the ouchface.

[@RodrigoDigoJunho]

I installed it through Steam and went to play, something bizarre happened, and i've read on the Forums that it happened to more people: the game opens normally, but the sound disappears completely, and the strangest thing is that i have a bunch of games installed by Steam, GOG, Amazon Games and this is the ONLY Game that happens like this. But the game is good, these new soundtracks from ANDREW HULSHULT are extremely badass, pure Heavy Metal, i already had them bought on iTunes ! i left the Like on video and signed to the channel !

[@asteria9963]

The game (like Doom Eternal) defaults to your Bluetooth microphone. Don't ask why, it just does. You have to disable it system-wide, then restart the game.

[@Collin255]

The bug where you load a save and the enemies will still be alerted but just will NOT come after you at all (until you start shooting them) is annoying. Hope they fix it.

[@RapidPhantom293]

One thing i wish they would add is some sort of retro filter like what Crispy Doom does without having to play at a lower resolution.

[@Sinn0100]

It is on absolutely everything! I know because I downloaded it on everything (I don't want to ever go without Doom). We have Unity Doom on the Series X, PS5, Steam Deck, and Switch because I can't get enough. I played this new version of Doom all weekend long, and now I'm at work....boooooo! At least I have my Steam Deck hidden inside my desk for some lunchtime Doom.

[@DEVONSFOREARM]

Love this!! Thatnk ev1 for keeping this game alive ❤

[@Kousaburo]

In Liverpool we call trousers kecks.

[@KittycatKye]

This re-release is definitely an improvement over the previous unity version, but I still prefer Crispy Doom. :3 Regardless of any complaints that I have with the current version, I'm grateful that the original Doom games are still receiving love and care 30 years later, and that the franchise as a whole is still alive and well! I can't wait for Doom: The Dark Ages.

[@turnkey_hole]

I'm super excited about this. Even moreso after playing it. GzDoom is great, and superior in many ways to the Kex port, but gosh darn it, this is a fantastic entry point for people who want to get into game. I no longer have to overwhelm a friend who is interested with all of the upfront work of getting gzdoom to look "right." Now they can just play. And if we wanna play together, it's never been easier. If they decide they wanna actually get knee deep in the doom, they can take it at their own pace.

[@guffingtonreal]

Legacy of Rust is OUTSTANDING. I downloaded this version just to play it.

[@no64256]

I wonder why they didn't seem to include the GBA death match levels, considering it seems like almost every other classic DOOM thing is here

[@lockout5731]

Hedon bloodrite is great i recommend it zan is such a sweetheart protagonist shes on my list of people to marry

[@solarprakhyat6545]

I am sure decino will be happy

[@darrellgardner4561]

Now we need an updated port of Doom 64 with coop and deathmatch.

[@Shuttergun1]

My only complaint is that a mod needs to be preset to a specific version of the base game You want to play plutonia with smooth doom? well you’re out of luck until someone uploads a version of smooth doom that is set to work with plutonia It’s annoying and it clutters the mod browser even more then it is with all the repeated mods Just let us select which version of doom we want to play a mod with after you select a mod, it can’t be that hard of a fix

[@DryPaperHammerBro]

Nice to see Beaks make me Coom support another Doomtuber!

[@yavnrh]

My only regret is that there's no free look option. I know it distorts the view, but I find it more immersive.

[@I_Punch_Demons]

Just a note, but no Buckethead for Sigil.

[@Devquispe19283]

I hadn't played Doom in a while and the day after I thought about it, this unexpected update came out. Without thinking I started playing.. PS: John Romero's Sigil became official and the new wad has a wider titlepic and a cool M_Doom

[@MineDoom312]

I don't really like how text on the intermission screen just appears and disappears. In original Doom, melting effect worked on text too, so that looks bad in this port. Like they seriously couldn't do something in 2024 that was done in 1993?

[@HydraKittten]

Im surprised that ID didn't pay to have Brutal Doom ported, considering its significance to Doom as a whole

[@plankera]

It’s actually easy to see why they didn’t. Brutal Doom utilizes a lot of advanced GZDoom features like Zscript and dynamic lighting. In order to get Brutal Doom to work at all they would need to port over a lot of code from GZDoom. It would be possible, but it seems the vision for Kex Doom is to be a port which stays faithful (and demo compatible) to the original release. But hey, at least they brought in support for wads that utilize Boom/MBF/MBF21 features, that covers the majority of wads.

[@HydraKittten]

@@plankera yeah, I figured it would probably be something technical that would prevent it, im sure a heavily modified version could show up eventually, but it will probably be a while

[@lumer1611]

I don't mind really. Maybe it will draw some people to play the vanilla experience for a change but I suspect the ones that play BD are just not interested. For me that mod was just meh as it drives the game too far from the og gameplay and visuals. Not that is bad I just find it boring after a couple of levels.
