Hey folks! Killcrazy and I were recently playing some retro gaming, in the form of the doomsday engine (read: revamped Doom, Doom II, Heretic and Hexen) on a LAN and had a blast going through the old episodes.
For those who missed the games first time round, you may be tempted by some high resolution textures and models, as well as the familiar WASD and mouselook... or for those who prefer the original controls and bitmaps, you can opt for those too!
See what I mean below:
Hexen in the doomsday engine, using original bitmaps:
Using high resolution models and textures:
Or a video of Heretic enhanced in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWXvtaRt17U
Anyway, I was looking to gauge interest in a possible playthrough at some point over the next few weeks? If there's enough interest we can start out through some co-op through the original campaigns and possibly try out some deathmatch? Let me know your thoughts below..
If you're not sure what this is all about I'd urge you to try out Doomsday for yourself, you can get it at http://dengine.net.
For high res texture packs and such like, these can be acquired at http://files.dengine.net
