Doom 64 on N64 was always a fun game if not a little bit hampered by the darkness issue plaguing the game due to a problem with the build. But it was a unique version of Doom and def had its own vibe and charm and while it was re-released recently-ish now a new port from fans brings Doom 64 to Dreamcast...creating Doom 64 DC...and it's maybe now one of the definitive ways to play the game with tons of quality of life improvements and even VMU support with Doom Guys face on the screen showing him taking damage and even his overall health.

Plus it fixes the entire lighting model giving you a way more playable game while still being on a retro console vs a modern PC port. Plus who doesn't love new games coming to Dreamcast

This is cool, but tame after the sex toy port of OG Doom.

 

[Miyazaki’s Slave]

"That coming"

But...in all seriousness, looks to be a great port and worth the time to get it on a DC.

Thanks for posting!!

What are you supposed to do, burn it to a CDR?

In a world with Doom 64 Absolution and even VR mod?

Doom 64 Absolution was great but it miss some graphics effects from Doom 64. The 2020 port is a better way though.

No and Doom 64 Retribution and CE are even better than Absolution.

Wouldn't that be more of a "Sega does what Nintendon't" situation?

Recent builds of DOOM 64 CE is the best way to play this game. The "faithful preset" is pretty much the same as the official remaster but it has tons of improvements and additions if you want them. Like smooth reload animations for the shotguns, dynamic lighting and even the missing enemies (the Revenant and Archvile).

I used to be very picky about any differences and missing stuff from the original. And older versions did have some annoyances like different lighting in some rooms compared to the original or minor visual glitches here and there. But the last version i played to completion (3.8.1) was pretty much perfect.

I need to check it out, it's been years since I've tried any unofficial port of Doom 64 tbh.

How you are able to port games to the dream cast is just amazing.

Still better than Eternal

 

[ResurrectedContrarian]

64 was amazing, the last great doom game before a giant 19-year hiatus

I loved DOOM on N64. Amazing. And cant stand modern day DOOM.
