You can judge for yourself whether or not they made the right decision by playing Doom 64, in which they really made an effort to enhance Doom, by releasing their own creativity.DOOM/ ULTIMATE DOOM, DOOM II, FINAL DOOM (TNT/PLUTONIA), AND THE MASTER LEVELS GAME MULTIMEDIA FOR PC/MAC, PSX, SATURN, N64, JAGUAR, 3DO, SUPER NES, SEGA 32X, GBA, ZODIAC, XBOX LISTINGS OF ALL MAPS AND MAP INTERCONNECTIONS REVISION - TOPICS IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE | TOPICS IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER = | = 0. Perhaps Midway didn't want to run the risk of spoiling the classic Doom gameplay after it had been proven to be so popular so many times. Some new weapons, monsters, or play modes wouldn't have required that much effort. Of course, it would have been nice to have some new content in the game. And in terms of quality of gameplay, it does beat the first Playstation Doom game, slightly. While there isn't a particularly great quantity of levels in comparison to other versions of Doom and Final Doom, there's enough gameplay here for the game to be worth the price-tag. Even if you already have the PC games upon which it is based, it's superior presentation makes it a worthwhile experience. While this review of Final Doom has been fairly critical, I actually liked the game. It's about finding the coolest weapon you can lay your hands on and blowing the living hell out of anything that moves with it. But considering how memorable that introduction wasn't, the fact that it's omitted from the Playstation version is basically irrelevant.Īnyway, as you've probably already realised, Final Doom is not about character development, exciting plot twists and turns, or clever metaphors about deep philosophical issues. This seems rather meagre in comparison to the reasonably-sized slab of text that provided a back-story to the PC version of Final Doom. In fact, about the closest thing to a 'plot' there is, based on the section of the manual labelled "Object of the Game", can be quoted here, to illustrate: "Your mission is to shoot your way through a 30+ level, monster-infested Hell. Used as second and third episodes are similarly cut-down versions of the two original episodes from the PC version of Final Doom, TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment. To keep the quality of the levels as high as possible, or to find some more levels that the Playstation could handle properly, Midway chose a number from another PC title, The Master Levels For Doom 2, and used these for the first episode of Playstation Final Doom. So, since M idway already held the rights for a Doom game on the Playstation, and since they had already done well in porting Doom, it's not hard to see why they chose to make Final Doom, which had been released on the PC at the same time as Quake. However, due to concerns about the game being too technically complicated to convert (which would later be proven to be unfounded, as the Playstation managed to handle a port of Quake 2), Quake on the Playstation was deemed not to be. If you don't know, in May 1996, Id Software released Quake for the PC, and it rapidly became widely regarded as the best, most technically advanced, FPS game around. From a gamer's point of view, the dream game to do this would have been Quake. Subsequently, it made sense for Midway to take advantage of the gap in the market for another great FPS game. In October 1996, almost a year after their magnificent Playstation conversion of Id Software's Doom, Midway's port was still considered the best first person shooter (FPS for short) on the console.
