Does it have double the racism?

The author of Brutal Doom is a notorious scumfuck.

More the creator than the game, if anything. Sgt Mark IV's attitude is kind of a black mark on this mod (I'm told he liked a pro-Hitler video on YouTube).
Oh man. What a dick.

Wow. That is truly messed up. I'm glad I don't really have much of an interest in Brutal DOOM to begin with now because this is not something I want to be torn on.
Its a damn shame someone who puts that much work into something I love also happens to be a big old racist douchebag at the same time.
Damn, you beat me to it. I was going to start a thread but does it count as Piracy considering that this is a fan project?

...why, exactly?
I honestly don't know if he's comfortable with threads about them.
I asked to make the thread today.

Been playing Doom for the first time (on my iPhone no less, which took a little getting used to). Unsurprisingly this game is as amazing as everyone has said it is. Just got to the third episode.
That would explain it. I made a thread about Turok EX and told him about it but he didn't respond.

Not responding could mean anything. Has he explicitly said he's uncomfortable about these threads?

Shoutouts to the titular Doom Community at Bethesda's E3 stage show!!

Seems like a strong hint that neo Doom will feature a level editor and other modding tools. Or maybe it's a 2 hour discussion announcing that they're hiring the Brutal Doom guy since that's the only Doom community effort they've acknowledged lately??

That would be really cool. It would be great to see another big publisher that isn't Valve embrace fan creations.

PSX Doom was the first version I owned, as such I have a real fondness for it. The soundtrack on the PSX version is SO. GOOD. I downloaded a wad of it and put it in my PC steam version.

Is it available for download yet.

Indeed it is. It's on the Brutal Doom MODDB page.

The PB settings are really cool. They affect enemy spawning and balance.
I've been playing using "Default Random" and I'm having a blast. The arsenal is really cool too. Imps will climb on ceilings and stuff.
It's a pretty ridiculous mod. I love it. It's kind of addicting. The features really add a ton of replayability.
Interestingvideo from Pixelmusement, who does tons of DOS game reviews and videos.
Is the Doom Engine a Raycaster?

I love the idea that some motherfucker has a helmet with a little LCD display that shows his own face in it. What the hell so dumb lol.
Edit:
Is that supposed to be an imp?
What is that hud, and how do I use it?

You can turn off the mugshot and, yes, I believe it is an imp.
DoomVisor HUD. I love it.
Looks like PB was updated on June 19. I noticed a new default rifle skin. Looks awesome.
Bought Doom 3 from Steam and been playing it for the last few hours.
Now it is dark though since the sun barely sets here during summer, there's this creepy stripe of light sky... and there's this repetitive creepy mechanical sound somewhere outside. I have no idea what that sound is and considering it is Sunday-Monday night, i have no idea who'd be working at this hour...
Say what you say about Doom 3, it is undeniably atmospheric game even with the fridge-logic inducing monster closets.
A shame the shotgun's crap, it should have been an all-around utility weapon like in the original.

Seems like a good place to put this.
Those of us old folgies who remember when Doom was new... remember the CDs like D!Zone that came pre-loaded with "6,666 new levels for Doom"?
Does anyone know of anyone who had levels on one of these various compilations? Were they asked permission to have their level included and were they compensated in any way? Or did the publishers of these compilations pretty much just download all the .wad files they could find, throw 'em on a disc and call it a day?

I remember owning that, and several other, discs, but can't recall what the circumstances of inclusion were.
I'm pretty sure it was the latter. Many of those wads were kind of crappy too.

TarnsmanDW on twitch has been playing a lot of Maximum DOOM. It really is a collection of newbie created levels (including wads that replace sound and music with copyrighted material, proof that they didn't really give a crap.)

I really need to catch up on his Maximum DOOM vids.
Did he ever do the thing where he listed the best 16 or 32 for Minimum DOOM?

Good question I'll ask then.
Project Brutality is essentially what I envisioned Brutal Doom to be striving towards. It even makes Doomguy utter the ridiculous comic book quotes directly now.
One thing I don't like is how new weapons always need to be reloaded first, which really doesn't gel with autoswitching enabled. That'll flat out kill you at times.

Yeah, the auto shotgun reload time is too slow. I find myself having to run away during the reload. Especially when I'm dual-wielding.

That's pretty much the quintessential clickbait title making you expect something the article isn't actually about I've always heard about. That article is more of a retrospective of what made DOOM so culturally relevant and how DOOM 4 hopes to achieve some of the same merits it had with a couple of statements that really stretch the meaning of the term 'shocked' in order to make the title relevant.
This sounds really great, though the trailer left me a bit skeptical, so I'm just gonna wait for some more genuine gameplay footage (that wasn't made using a map that was clearly made for that trailer and that trailer only to show as many elements of the game as they wanted in a short amount of time) to be truly sold on the product.

GZDoom now has a GPL-compliant fork, GLOOME (OpenGL-Oriented Original Media Engine), which is free of the licensing nightmare that is vanilla ZDoom/GZDoom.
I wonder how long it is until we see wholly-original GZDoom mods on Greenlight? (eg: The Adventures of Square)

I've been playing Back to Saturn X Ep. 2 with a gamecube controller (because I like the controller too much), and I really like how ZDOOM handles mapping movement speed to the analog stick.
It makes me wonder if a regular flightstick style joystick combined with mouse might be a really good control setup.

Attempting to play Deus Vult with Project Brutality. You need to totally cheese your way through most of the fights. Things quickly become almost impossible in the first map once you face the Mancubus and army of imps. I managed to get into a tiny room separated by a very narrow door. I just waited in there for enough imps to gather up outside, open the door, cleave a ton of them down with the chainsaw, hope I don't take too much damage while the door is open and then repeat the process.
Now I need to figure out how to beat the part with the 4 barons and tons of pinky demons.
