Doom Legacy 2.0 - Breathing New Life Into A Classic

In 1997, id Software release the source code to the original Doom games to the public domain, spawning a slew of source ports adding all sorts of new and more advanced features to the ageing classic. Now, the Doom Legacy team have managed something that was considered impossible: added per-pixel lighting and normal mapping to the now 14-year old game engine. Check out the screenshots below or visit the forum for more information.

I don't think this is enough for me to play through the whole game again. On second thought I installed Doom3 the other night and have had a great time playing it with a new computer and the mods that are out there.

Yeah, but there is one very fun and excellent mod that was released recently called "Knee Deep in Zdoom." It requires the Zdoom source port and an Ultimate Doom IWAD (the file taht contains all the game assets), but it's basically a re-imagining of the original "Knee Deep in the Dead" episode from Doom that is so fondly remembered. It's excellently designed and really does recapture that original tension and thrill you got from playing Doom the first time. For anyone interested in this, I would definitely recommend taking a look at Knee Deep in Zdoom.

I was hoping for something different from Coalition, not Gears 6 so soon.
Their expertise in UE development could've propelled them to try out other IPs using the new UE5.
But guess, given recent MS' state, Gears 6 was the 'safer' call for the studio. But still hope they venture other IPs or even other genres ... at least FPSs in future?

Microsoft seems only interested in maximizing profits through its biggest IPs at this point.

So soon? Its been 5 years since Gears 5, longest gap between games in the franchise.

I was hoping for better but Microsoft being safe again....

Why would people be less angry? If MS made it's own games instead of buying up what was already available then we wouldn't be in the situation that everyone is angry at.

MS is the problem.

Just forget what happened and keep supporting Microsoft!

SonyStyled1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

Everybody pays for or uses MS in some form personally or professionally. If that’s considered supporting, it hasn’t been helping Xbox.

PRIMORDUS3h ago

Fuck MS and Phil. I already told that shit bag off on Twitter, if the dumb ass responds I highly doubt it, I will go off much worse. What a fucking disgrace MS and Phil are to the gaming community.

I love Ratchet & Clank so I will indeed be keeping an eye on this.

Same. I am a big fan of the series and feel it is criminally underappreciated by the community at large.
