Sep 28 2006 - Doom available on Xbox Live Marketplace!
Vito Raliffe
|
Yesterday, Microsoft surprised 360 owners when they announced and released the original Doom on to the Xbox Live Marketplace. But as usual, it was not released without some upgrades.
The Xbox Live Arcade download consists of the entire single player campaign (four episodes), four-player co-op and Deathmatch (both either on Xbox Live or via Splitscreen), and as with all arcade downloads, the game has the usual achievements, matchmaking, and leaderboards. Doom also supports 1080i and 5.1 surround sound along with some minor graphical upgrades to smooth things out.
Doom is available right now as an arcade download for 800 Microsoft Points (equivalent to $10). It is 22 MB in size.
Look for more information on the game when we get the section added to the site.

Jun 18 2006 - Doom Wad Station Interview With Daniel Gimmer
Mishtram
|
The folks over at Doom Wad Station recently got the chance to have an interview with Daniel Gimmer, aka Tormentor667, who is currently producing a project that will be released for Doom 3 within the next year.
This old school map creator shares some of his origins, such as the following:
Sematary: Did you have any mentors [..]?`
Tormentor: I'm not a master of scripting so I was kinda dependant to the ZDoom.org
community, a place filled with kind and cooperative people that always
helped me in things conerning ACS but everything that has something to
do with environment and mapping was my own effort. Everything learning
by doing, I teached myself from the very beginning when I first opened
DETH, my first doom map editor! :) Sure, there arose questions sometimes
and I am glad that there were persons like Enjay, Graf Zahl and other
people who are the real base of the ZDoom community, but I learned most
of the stuff I am aware of now by myself, and that makes me proud a bit ;)
To check out some of the work done by Tormentor, check out his webpage below.

Jun 18 2006 - Doom 3 Compatible on the 360
Mishtram
|
A few days ago, Xbox Spokesperson Steven Moore was on the podcast of Major Nelson, where he said Doom 3 (and perhaps also it's expansion, Ressurection of Evil) has been announced as one of the additional 20-plus, originally 12, games that will be backwards compatible for the Xbox 360. Coming with it is also the popular Lego Star Wars.
While this addition is definitely worth it, Microsoft has continued to stay quiet on any further games that they may have planned to add to the ever growing list of games which can now be transferred from the Xbox to the Xbox 360.

Oct 25 2005 - John Carmack On Doom
Q22
|
John Carmack has his views on the movie up at Slashdot.
I had fairly low expectations, and there were even some plans in palce to guide me away from any press after the premier if I didn't like the movie, so I wouldn't say something "unproductive", but I was pleasantly surprised.
No, it isn't an oscar movie, but it definitely isn't Super Mario Brothers / Street Fighter / Double Dragon.
I do wish they had kept the true satanic / hellish theme, but I think they did a credible job with their alternate direction.

Oct 21 2005 - IGN FilmForce - Review & Video Clips
Q22
|
IGN FilmForce have a two page review of Doom up, where they gave it a three out of five. Read the review here
Everyone else, consider this: Doom is made to resemble and glorify a videogame. It has some tight action sequences and some righteous kills, and it succeeds in the things it sets out to do. However, these things do not include weaving a delicate tale of human interaction or composing a story that makes a lot of sense. If you can live with that, it's a hell of a ride. If you can't, just wait… Oscar season is almost upon us.
They also have four new video clips up. Three of them are interviews but the fourth one contains some good movie footage. Watch them here.

Oct 07 2005 - Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil XBOX Ships To Retail
VeGiTAX2
|
Xbox Fans can rejoice as Resurrection of Evil comes to the console. The story picks up where the original leaves off 2 years later at the site of the first battle with Bertrugar. A new artifact is discovered that turns the new UAC star into the target for Bertrugar and his demons as they attempt to track it down and re-attain it.
Multiplayer support this time comes with new maps with support for up to 4 players across Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Last Man Standing and Tournament mode via System Link or Xbox Live.
Bonus features on this edition are Doom II and the master levels for Doom II which have been optimized for the Xbox. They include standard single player and 2-4 player co-op or deathmatch. Players can link up or split the screen for the experience.
From the sound of things it might not be something for the PC fans but the the console owners of the original should have quite a treat as they can now experience the Grabber and double-barrel shotgun.
The game carries an M rating for Mature and ships in with an SRP of $29.99
