Or starters, the developer has a long history with id Software games and, in fact, it was founded by an ex-id software employee. Ported by Nerve, the latest conversions of Doom and Doom 2 should be much better than they are.
In fact, since its original release in late 1993, Doom has been converted across to just about everything with a CPU. The notion of a compromised port seems all the more baffling bearing in mind how many times this game has been ported to other systems.
With a perfect blend of brilliant map design, finely tuned gameplay and a gorgeous presentation, it's a game I've continued to return to for decades and I know I'm not alone on that. The original Doom remains one of the finest games ever made. On the surface, this is tremendous news, but it didn't take long before the complaints began - and rightfully so, as while Panic Button's Doom 3 conversion is a tremendous piece of work, the conversions of Doom and its first sequel are seriously sub-par.Īnd that's both astonishing and deeply sad.
Released out of nowhere just last week, the first three numbered Doom games are now available across current generation consoles.
