These are many dead demons.

When I was a kid, I thought doom 64 was a N64 port of the original DOOM or perhaps both Nower and DOOM II. Part of it was that I had played only the first two Doom games with friends. The other part of it was the Untang was ported to each platform on which it could be done, and reliable information on video games were hard to get when you read them in a game magazine. Mostly you have learned by gaining in a blockbuster or retail store, sold in which games sold and one with cool boxing art. This strategy has made good services as a child, so I did that, what most people I knew have done: assumed that it was starcraft 64 or bevel 64 (a port of a PC game for the N64, What was not unusual) and continued. In addition, when doom 64 published in 1997, the world had already bevels, _ and _Goldeneye 007 had been a few months away. Deweartzeit and starsiege: Trunks would be published in the following year. Neart was cool, but they were old news. And I did not have to play a game that I had played on my PC on my N64.

It turned out that I was not the only person who made this mistake. Many people did not know exactly what doom 64 was and despite the Mindshare many of his top releases still occupied, and the meaning of these games, the Nintendo 64 was not a popular console. Many people just did not play the game. It has never been officially released again, although people have made admirable efforts to recreate it. As a result, doom 64 became something like a cult classic. Only a few people had played it, and it was hard to buy. Thanks to an excellent advanced ports from NightDive Studios this is no longer the case. The only question is now: Do doom 64 hold?

Before we talk about something doom 64 Let us discuss what it is not: it is not a port of unit, but a continuation that takes place afterwards DOOM II and Final Doom. Although the Doom Marine had laid hell to waste the last time, a powerful unity survived with the ability to rejuvenate fallen demons. He was sent back to Mars to finish the job, but surprise surprise, the whole thing is a trap, and they have to fight their way outside. This means that doom 64 is essentially DOOM 3 in front of DOOM 3 was DOOM 3. Doom 64 is also one of the few games in the series that were not developed by ID software. Instead, it was developed internally by Midway under the supervision of ID internally. Do you have everything? Good.

With regard to the gameplay, DoOOM 64 feels very important to NECHT. No time is wasted for story or setup. Doom 64 Lets you immediately, gives you almost immediately a shotgun and gets on the way to tear your heart's content.

Let's get the basics out of the way: Nightdive Studios has done excellent work at Remastering doom 64. The graphic of the game has been updated, it supports modern widescreen resolutions and anti-aliasing and everything looks very clear. Everything is still a little blocky, but that depends on how doom 64 looks out, no problem with Nightdives work. The game looks very, very good and is even better. Doom 64 runs with smooth 60 frames and I have not noticed slowdown.

Nevertheless, there are problems. Doom 64 is, how dark it is, and I do not mean content. This game is dunkel, from its environments to its menus, which means that it can be very difficult to see menu options or certain environments. The most obvious example was a level in which I was dropped from a trick platform to the bottom of a large room. With the default settings, it was pitch black and I could not see anything, including the invisible ghosts chewing to me. The only way to solve this problem was to increase the brightness of the game. It's a solution, but it's a shame that it was necessary.

With regard to the gameplay, doom 64 feels very important to neut. No time is wasted for story or setup. Doom 64 Lets you dip directly into the action, gives you almost immediately a shotgun and gets on the way to tear your heart's content. Neart The Attraction is simple, and the Midway team understood that and is not too far from what has been made, which has been made unit and DOOM II two of the best games of all time. This game has not reinvented the wheel and while it was made doom 64 feel dated in 1997 it actually helps today. This game feels like a real continuation of DOOM II, and like Neargang and DOOM II, DOOM 64 is actually better than many of the popular 3D shooters of the era, such as TUROK or Goldenes eye.

Doom 64 The engine is further advanced than unterzeit or DOOM II This allows more visual variety, better lighting and better scripting position, which allows encounters that you would not simply see in the original games.

Similar to doom 64 is to the games that inspired it is in a noticeable way differently. The first is graphic. All demons from doom 64 look differently than their unit and doom II counterparts, as far as doom 64 The designs of S are obvious influences on some of the new demons that are doom Ewig, although they maintain enough of the original visual style, that You can recognize what is what. In this sense, DOOM 64 The engine is further advanced than Neargers or DOOM II This allows more visual variety, better lighting and better scripting position and allows encounters that you would not simply see in original games.

Not everything is an improvement. The animations for your weapons are not so detailed, for example. You will not see that Neargang marine spans his shotgun after firing each round, and there is no animation to reload the super-shot bottle after firing. Mostly the weapons move back and forth, and the outstanding sound effects of the game do the rest. For example, you can hear how used super-shot cartridges are ejected and fall to the ground, and the sound when new ones are charged, loaded Even if you can not see him. This is a long way, but the visual downgrade is still not to ignore. Likewise, you do not see the animated face of the Doom Navy as in unit and doom II, which is a kind of mist. Revenates, archvow and chaingun zombies are also no-shows. The final result is a game that mostly looks like his predecessors.

Doom 64 compensates for these defects with some new issues. The biggest is the UNMAKER, which also appears doom EWIG. The Unmaker is an overpowered laser weapon, which divides ammunition with the plasma brigade and the BFG and can be improved by finding demon keys in the different levels. There are also two new demons. The other big difference is the music of the game. The pastes of previous games inspired by Heavy Metal have disappeared and will be replaced by an ambient soundtrack that makes things really seem scary.

Doom 64 However, the largest achievement is the level design. The levels are visually visually and in relation to the gameplay and traditionally different set fashion full of secrets, whether they are at the beginning of the game in the abandoned basis or in the deepest levels of hell.

Doom 64 However, the largest achievement is the level design. The levels are visually visually and in relation to the gameplay and traditionally different set fashion full of secrets, whether they are at the beginning of the game in the abandoned basis or in the deepest levels of hell. Doom 64 has one of the best cards a unterzeit The game has ever given it, a result that is only enhanced by the re-publication of multiple lost levels and a new endlevel bound to this doom EWIG. My only complaint is that certain levels depend slightly to very timed switches and it can be irritating to carry out certain sections several times because they were not fast enough. If you feel extraordinarily arbitrarily and do not feel and certain sections are much irritating than you should be. This is not supported by the floating, momentum-based movement of the game, and they will probably fall a few times by things they did not mean. Overall, however doom 64 The levels are excellent. They do not quite reach the highlights of John Romeros's best work, which is still the best level designer who ever worked on the series, but they avoid the unfortunate excesses of unax and doom II the worst values ​​ensure a total More consistent experience, even if you do not quite reach the same high standards.

Probably or evil, doom 64 is a classic unit game and one, which is still a pleasure even after a few years. This is not a modern shooter. There is not much action, Levels are extensive exercises with multiple levels and many hidden extras and it is very fast and very violent. If these things did not like them, they will not like them doom 64. But if,, you will like it very much.

There is still no multiplayer mode, and I wish Nightdive would have added a coop mode, but this is an excellent porting of a game that was previously lost and that it still deserves to be played. I think I would like doom 64 If I realized what it was when I was a kid. I can imagine that I put on long with my friends and pass a controller back and forth, each of us sticks to the TV. I can not go back and tell the child that it should pull doom 64 from the wall at his local blockbuster and give him a chance. But I can give him the attention he deserves now, because unit is eternal and these demons will not kill themselves.

_ This game was checked on the PC. _
