I was trying to do something on the zombies map Tag Der Toten and couldn't get the zombie to chase me. After about 3 minutes and a complete mental breakdown I realized I had accidentally been put into "god mode" after I took a flinger and revived my friend. Craziest thing to ever happen to me in zombies.
Carmack’s perfect combination of programming genius and ultra positive view on open source is why games are as good as they are now. When drivers and graphics cards were a mess he pulled a power move and told the card business that they either support OpenGL, or they won’t play Id games.
Commack made the quake engine which was an absolute game changer who influenced valve to make goldsrc which was used in half life with it's expansions, counter strike, and team fortess classic
I look at the incredibly vibrant and varied Doom modding scene and wonder what fraction of it would exist, specially to this day, if Doom's source code had never been released.
I think it's *VERY* important to point out that the new official ports of Doom running in Unity has a graphics option for *Vertical Sync (VSync)* on by default, and at the very least in the PS4 release, it causes *SERIOUS* input lag, it really tripped me up at first and I didn't realize what was wrong. Make sure to turn it off, because it'll cripple your gameplay otherwise. If the game feels oddly stiff and difficult for no seeming reason, this is why. It also doesn't let you rebind your controls, which I think they should address.
Here I am using Zandronum and should have known better as to why the game felt "off" lately, for whatever reason I turned vertical sync on a few weeks back, but I was attributing it to network lag given I play online 99% of the time. Anyway I'm glad I scrolled through these comments and saw this one. So I turned vertical sync off and there we have it, back to normal. Thanks guy
@@citizensnips2348 it is supposed to reduce/eliminate tearing by matching the game's frame rate with your monitor frame rate. It leads to noticeable input lag, but it often looks a bit better especially for clueless people who don't even notice the input lag, so I guess that's why they include it and turn it on by default a lot of the time
"If you don't hold down the run key, you move slowly, which is obviously terrible for speedrunning." Once again Karl, you have blown us away with your in depth understanding of Doom mechanics.
I remember not knowing how to toggle auto run and sometimes i would accidentally press caps lock that turned off auto run and i would just press random keys till i get authorun back. These were tough times (I never played the og release)
Fun fact: There is a reverse engineering of PSX Doom that is available with source code. And there is a PC port of that code called PsyDoom. Maybe someone could speedrun that.
@@HappyBeezerStudios Fair, but there's no auto run and the only way of me using auto run is via AutoHotkey, which I think could break rules of speed running but idk

Fun fact: DOOM on PlayStation had three release variants: long box, standard jewel case, and greatest hits jewel case. The standard jewel case version is rare and commands the highest price of the three among collectors.
i bought longbox longtime ago in a store. ps1 port of doom is awesome the music is very scarey plus cyber demon scares the hell out of me hearing him close by.
Filthy doom trihard here, I just want to point out (even if you kinda nod to it) that all these ports are pretty cool but there's absolutely NO COMPARISON among any of these and the major community made PC ports prboom+ and gzdoom. PRBoom+ is the best for vanilla compatibility in demos and general gameplay (so that's why 99% of speedrunners use that or crispy/chocolate) and GZDoom is basically a full featured modern game engine with awesome mod support that also happens to run doom. I just think they both should have had a brief direct mention and then left out of the conversation since they absolutely crush the competition.
GLBoom+ is also worth mentioning, as it runs gigantic maps with more stability than PRBoom+, something important for more modern megawads such as Eviternity or Sunder.
PrBoom+ is pretty nice, especially if you like making Boom format maps, like me, though it's getting a bit long in the tooth. There's an engine fork in the works which aims to add a number of really cool new features, all while maintaining PrBoom+'s fabled demo compatibility.

It's not really, there's some shotgun baldies laying in wait to ambush you in one or two spots when playing on UV, but you get plenty of space and means to handle and counter them. If you're playing in the new official ports, turn off Vertical Sync (VSync) in the graphics options, it gives you pretty bad input lag and makes the game much harder than it's supposed to be.

@@23Scadu It was the first version i played! To this day, the "actual" doom feels weird and cheesy. The nightmares 4yo me had were intense. Thanks dad.
The PSX version of DooM was my fisrt PSX game, haha. I remember the shock of not hearing the familiar sounds of the original DooM when we first played it. Good times.
Because of this video I bought the DOOM classic collection on Steam. It runs super well and is on sale at the moment. Thanks for the Doom content Karl, it inspired me to play it (casually of course).
I swear over the Playstation port of Doom. I have nothing but sweet memories of playing that game during the summers of my teenage years, time and time again. A very well made port that was, in fact, my introduction to ambient music. I still listen to that soundtrack from time to time.
Karl, speaking as someone with no intention of attempting a speedrun, your videos are always super interesting. And personally I find your content just a bit more interesting than other speedrunning channels, not sure why.
9:56 You just reminded me of two games. 1. Scooby Doo: First Fright 2. Scooby Doo Om Swamps These two were my childhood, and a damn good one at that. Thank you Karl, you ARE an Absolute Legend.
The same dude, Aubrey Hodges, would also do the music for Doom 64. Since Doom 64 is a whole new game rather than a port it made Doom 64 feel even more unique, and I'm so glad that as of 2020 it's finally got a proper remaster as believe it or not Doom 64 is what introduced me to the series in the first place.
It's kinda cool seeing him mention the Xbox port. It's how I got into DooM and DooM 2 back in high school. I remember holding the left trigger all the time, it's not as bad as you think for normal gameplay. However, I didn't know there were cheat codes, or a secret level end on hangar. Now I gotta try these, thanks Karl.
When I first watched this video, I was a little bummed hearing about a great official source port on steam. A couple years back, I bought Doom on steam and it ran through dosbox. As it turns out, once this new, official version came out, I got it for free with my Doom purchase all those years ago. That was really cool of them. I thought I would have needed to buy it again.
Just wait until you find out that there's another new official release, with a bunch of new enhancements/mods/etc, which just came out a few weeks ago, and is also free if you've bought the games before. (=
Originally, I did not watch these Doom videos because I was not a fan of the game and did not know many of the strategies or mechanics of the game. But recently I started watching them and I have to say that these videos are amazing. The explanations of mechanics, strategies, and speedruns, are easy to understand and very interesting. These videos are amazingly edited and scripted, and this has become one of my favorite UA-cam channels to watch in my free time. Great Job!
Glad to see so much praise for PSX Doom, still the first thing I think of when I hear "Doom port". Still love spamming the super shotgun on the Doom 1 levels!
I never had a computer growing up so my first Doom experience was playing a friends copy on the PSX. Lovely game and port, but I do remember feeling ill after watching my friend play for hours. With all that spinning around. :p
My first doom contact was on the ps1. You should have given a sample of the sounds in the video, because it is just absolutely amazing. There is also a handful of exclusive levels, which adds A LOT of character to the game, specially the final ones.
Doom 1 on psx was stunning. You missed one also great thing about the port. It was link up. Yes you needed 2 playstation s and 2 tvs and 2 copies of the game but it was well well worth it!
Doom on PSX is (based on the gameplay footage in this video) graphically awesome. The lighting effects are immediately apparent, and even though they're primitive today, they look downright amazing for a console port of that time. I LOVE it. That said, the Saturn Doom port has its own history, not entirely unlike the 3DO port, and what I can't grasp is how supposedly the proper Saturn port didn't meet the satisfaction of id. Or at least it was something along those lines. I pray for the day that either we get a working version of the original port or someone comes along and does a proper port so many years after the fact, ala OptiDoom for the 3DO. Which, by the way, is a project that doesn't get enough love.
Using the mouse to move feels really out of place for Doom, and clumsy given the varied geometry of the levels, but I've tried using it for Wolfenstein 3D, and it can actually be really good there, it can really let you 'thread the needle' with doors, really fast and reliably.
Glad to see PS1 Doom on your list as that was my introduction to Doom despite being maybe 5 or 6 at the time. To this day, I have never forgotten the ammo cheat - X, Triangle, L1, Up, Down, R2, Left, Left
The Jaguar version is really solid and underrated. The unique controller allows you to switch to any weapon at any time directly instead of cycling through them in order, which is a big bonus. And of course the Jaguar version formed the basis for the GBA, 32X, 3DO, Saturn, and PS1 ports of Doom; the PS1 version was then the basis for PS1 Final Doom and ultimately Doom 64. Thankfully Carmack saw to the Jaguar port himself or the history of Doom might be very different.
You should give em a shot doom 1 and 2 are solid games that still hold up. Especially with the unity ports. They're about $5 each if I remember right and you can buy em on pretty much anything, I personally recommend pc or switch. Mostly switch though cause it has a gyro aim feature and it's portable. And these ports actually have official support for some fan campaigns that they've allowed. So if you payed for just one you'd still technically get like 5-6 games because those campaigns are free to download.
It's really fun, the rerelease of the first game is just $5 on your system of choice, and it comes with a bunch of optional bonus mapsets that are really good (ditto for Doom 2). Just remember to turn off Vertical Sync (VSync) in options, as it gives you really bad input lag.
Daaaamn that unity port sounds like a very good deal, thank god is cheap here in argentina where every steam game released nowadays is expensive as hell, I'll sure give your challenge a try! Thank you for letting me know of this new port, love ya
Yep, totally agree. Doom 64 is a great game too, and, partly due I think, to it being an N64 exclusive, it wasn't given the attention it deserves for a very long time
@Karl Jobst : Actually, Auto-SR50 is not allowed in Doom speedrun. If you check rules : -using auto sr50 on sourceports that have it is NOT ALLOWED I didnt saw any categories accepting it yet
Ps1 doom! I found it at a Gamestop when I was a teen. It was one of the last ps1 games being sold in the store. Got it in the tall game case. I was suprised with the colored lighting and Sounds.
Ngl every time I see that intro in Playstation version I kinda tear up. My dad and me play this game every year and the nostalgia always hits me. Not only because this is literally the first game I played as a fricking 6 year old (which definitely didnt traumatize me) and what got me into games. I normally dont like shooting games but this version makes me nostalgic every time. Glad people apricciate this as much as I do
I played the psx version a lot back then... and people underestimate how important the music was. That version was brilliant and that was one of the reason. The music just gave you anxiety while playing, with random screams, etc. No other doom had such a good music for the game.
Fun fact. I bought the classic doom pack on steam a while back. Been playing mostly Ultimate doom, but stopped from january to October. When i came back and reinstalled, i thought i had installed something wrong, not realising this was the unity port. Now it makes sense.
Love your videos man, I am assuming you have probably heard 100 times over but I would love to hear you explain the Dream cheating case that is going on right now.
I love Doom. Couldn't speedrun it but I do love the game. Sourceports are important to Doom in general, for speedrunning, modding and so on. The community is still alive and well to this day.
I appreciate the Doom videos, but it'd be a nice breath of fresh air to see something super absurd. Like, a history of Souls runs or something. Something away from the N64/90s PC era.
I’m sure you’ve heard this before but as someone that has been through some of the most intense things life can throw at you I can’t tell you how much it means that you start off every video with calling us “you absolute legends”. It makes me feel better than so many “real” things. And I know you don’t know me and I only found this channel about 2 weeks ago but you have been a great thing in my life to distract from all the BS. You suck me into a world where the only thing that matters is shaving off seconds and I can’t thank you enough.
I really love the doom videos, can’t beat a cup of tea, biscuit and Karl doom video, rock and roll. Please Keep them coming I respect how much research goes into these videos ! :)
Doom 1 on the GBA lacks some stuff, which is a shame, but it's still Doom in your pocket, which was pretty amazing at the time, and honestly it's still fun. Doom 2 on the GBA has a few quirks, but it's also almost entirely intact, every monster and level is there, and the levels are actually not trimmed very much at all, so it's straight up Doom 2 in your pocket, which I think is a pretty great achievement for the modest hardware. The music also sounds pretty cool on the GBA.
I've never really cared about speedrunning, Doom, or any of that stuff until I've stumbled upon Your channel. Now I want to know everything there is to know about any Doom port there is. Really, really great videos, no matter what the topic is, You always present it in a very, very interesting way. And it's good to be called an absolute legend once in a while :D great job, I hope You'll keep them comin'.
Karl, a new Doom milestone had been achieved! JCD, is the first player to complete a Final Doom: Plutonia Experiment on Nightmare with 100% secrets in 1h11m39s after 2127 attempts! I just saw the post, i figured you'd be the kind of person to like those kind of news. Merry Christmas Legend!
@@BigHuskyGG "solid" isn't quite the right word for a game that can break in entirely new ways at any given moment, lol. even if you know about all the busted mechanics and bugs, places like the crisis city mach speed section can completely destroy even the most experienced speed runner.
Bro thanks for allowing people to enter the competition through the pinned comment as well as going to the end of the video, it doesn’t even feel like a cheap way to get people watching the whole video
I've never been a speed runner but for some reason the practice just fascinates me - I have been enchanted by your channel, I may even try speed running some doom always such a great game!
I don't hate it, but I really don't think it's that great, little variety and no melody. I think it works better for Doom 64, but I still don't find it great.
I kind of wish you would've talked about the later Nerve ports like the 360 version or the BFG edition's version due to the differences in content (censorship). Although it is somewhat hard to track down these versions since the original Nerve versions were removed from the XBLA store and as were the digital download versions of the BFG edition.
I really like your vids there well edited and format is interesting i never understood how hard how speed running was till i watched your vid while i dont have the urge to play it i enjoy watching it keep up the good work pal
There is also official Windows 95 port of Doom, but it's not sold anywhere anymore as far as I know since it's just much easier to make DOS version run in newer versions of Windows.

Ohh the sequel I've been waiting for came earlier than I could've anticipated
I too came earlier than I could ever have expected
@JJ J lol shut the fuck up dickhead
Never would have thought that there was good Doom ports after the last video
I think the 360 version of Doom is a pretty good port. Though I'm also bad at Doom, so I probably didn't catch any problems with it.
PlayStation was the only truly great one from the 90's.
Can't believe we are talking about doom after all these years
The PSX version of DooM was my fisrt PSX game, haha. I remember the shock of not hearing the familiar sounds of the original DooM when we first played it. Good times.
Because of this video I bought the DOOM classic collection on Steam. It runs super well and is on sale at the moment. Thanks for the Doom content Karl, it inspired me to play it (casually of course).
The recent DOOM + DOOM 2 port that replaced the 2020 one is incredible too. I hope people run it too.
Ever planning on talking about the port that was just a whole new game, Doom 64?
That's a sequel...
Great game, and every fan of Doom should play it at least once, but I wouldn't call it better.
I swear over the Playstation port of Doom. I have nothing but sweet memories of playing that game during the summers of my teenage years, time and time again. A very well made port that was, in fact, my introduction to ambient music. I still listen to that soundtrack from time to time.
I just wanted to say: Doom 64 is pretty good too.
Yeah, I was wondering why it didn't show up. There's even a PC Version of Doom 64
DOOM 64 isnt a port, is it?
DOOM 64 isn't a port! It was a wholly new DOOM game.
Well, so I hope we get the "Best It is Doom but it is not Doom" video
My bro just bought an og copy for my n64, psyched to play through it
Karl, speaking as someone with no intention of attempting a speedrun, your videos are always super interesting. And personally I find your content just a bit more interesting than other speedrunning channels, not sure why.
Karl Jobst: "Hello, you absolute legends!"
Me: Ah yes, the famous line is said yet again.
ah yes the floor here is made out of floor
He said it so epicly this time. OMG
9:56 You just reminded me of two games.
1. Scooby Doo: First Fright
2. Scooby Doo Om Swamps
These two were my childhood, and a damn good one at that. Thank you Karl, you ARE an Absolute Legend.
I absolutely love the music in the PS1 port of Doom, it makes the port pretty unique all things considered.
Plus you can put your own music in the CD drive if your playing on a PS1.
The same dude, Aubrey Hodges, would also do the music for Doom 64. Since Doom 64 is a whole new game rather than a port it made Doom 64 feel even more unique, and I'm so glad that as of 2020 it's finally got a proper remaster as believe it or not Doom 64 is what introduced me to the series in the first place.
It's kinda cool seeing him mention the Xbox port. It's how I got into DooM and DooM 2 back in high school. I remember holding the left trigger all the time, it's not as bad as you think for normal gameplay.
However, I didn't know there were cheat codes, or a secret level end on hangar. Now I gotta try these, thanks Karl.
When I first watched this video, I was a little bummed hearing about a great official source port on steam. A couple years back, I bought Doom on steam and it ran through dosbox. As it turns out, once this new, official version came out, I got it for free with my Doom purchase all those years ago. That was really cool of them. I thought I would have needed to buy it again.
Just wait until you find out that there's another new official release, with a bunch of new enhancements/mods/etc, which just came out a few weeks ago, and is also free if you've bought the games before. (=
Originally, I did not watch these Doom videos because I was not a fan of the game and did not know many of the strategies or mechanics of the game. But recently I started watching them and I have to say that these videos are amazing. The explanations of mechanics, strategies, and speedruns, are easy to understand and very interesting. These videos are amazingly edited and scripted, and this has become one of my favorite UA-cam channels to watch in my free time. Great Job!
Walls in Doom do not have a single dedicated job. They're integral in controlling movement, especially in terms of speed regulation.
Glad to see so much praise for PSX Doom, still the first thing I think of when I hear "Doom port". Still love spamming the super shotgun on the Doom 1 levels!
Karl: "you should try to learn something new everyday"
Me: does learning about doom ports count?
Great video, really brought back memories seeing the PS1 port as that is what got me into Doom and 1st Person Shooters back in 95.
I never had a computer growing up so my first Doom experience was playing a friends copy on the PSX. Lovely game and port, but I do remember feeling ill after watching my friend play for hours. With all that spinning around. :p
My first doom contact was on the ps1. You should have given a sample of the sounds in the video, because it is just absolutely amazing.
There is also a handful of exclusive levels, which adds A LOT of character to the game, specially the final ones.
Doom 1 on psx was stunning. You missed one also great thing about the port. It was link up. Yes you needed 2 playstation s and 2 tvs and 2 copies of the game but it was well well worth it!
Doom on PSX is (based on the gameplay footage in this video) graphically awesome. The lighting effects are immediately apparent, and even though they're primitive today, they look downright amazing for a console port of that time. I LOVE it.
That said, the Saturn Doom port has its own history, not entirely unlike the 3DO port, and what I can't grasp is how supposedly the proper Saturn port didn't meet the satisfaction of id. Or at least it was something along those lines. I pray for the day that either we get a working version of the original port or someone comes along and does a proper port so many years after the fact, ala OptiDoom for the 3DO. Which, by the way, is a project that doesn't get enough love.
Using the mouse to move feels really out of place for Doom, and clumsy given the varied geometry of the levels, but I've tried using it for Wolfenstein 3D, and it can actually be really good there, it can really let you 'thread the needle' with doors, really fast and reliably.
Glad to see PS1 Doom on your list as that was my introduction to Doom despite being maybe 5 or 6 at the time. To this day, I have never forgotten the ammo cheat - X, Triangle, L1, Up, Down, R2, Left, Left
2:50 "so without futher a doom" nice
This Doom speedrunning is so fun to watch and gives me motion sickness a bit at the same time
When I saw there was a VRDoom, I almost shot my .wad
Thanks for showcasing the PSX version! Anyone that speedruns this version is a legend if i say so myself ;)
pov: your waiting for the dream speed run breakdown
@Mr. Teton he’s talking about how Karl is gonna make a video about the dream situation
So entertaining to watch a 15 min long video with such an enthusiastic narrator, you can really tell how much passion Karl has about Doom
PS1 doom was considered by John himself to be a superior port, but he did say the PC version was better for controls.
Side by side Doom running on fast 486 is much sharper/cleaner and smoother vs Playstation.
The Jaguar version is really solid and underrated. The unique controller allows you to switch to any weapon at any time directly instead of cycling through them in order, which is a big bonus. And of course the Jaguar version formed the basis for the GBA, 32X, 3DO, Saturn, and PS1 ports of Doom; the PS1 version was then the basis for PS1 Final Doom and ultimately Doom 64. Thankfully Carmack saw to the Jaguar port himself or the history of Doom might be very different.
Never played doom in my life but I love these videos. They are so interesting
You should give em a shot doom 1 and 2 are solid games that still hold up. Especially with the unity ports. They're about $5 each if I remember right and you can buy em on pretty much anything, I personally recommend pc or switch. Mostly switch though cause it has a gyro aim feature and it's portable. And these ports actually have official support for some fan campaigns that they've allowed. So if you payed for just one you'd still technically get like 5-6 games because those campaigns are free to download.
It's really fun, the rerelease of the first game is just $5 on your system of choice, and it comes with a bunch of optional bonus mapsets that are really good (ditto for Doom 2). Just remember to turn off Vertical Sync (VSync) in options, as it gives you really bad input lag.
@@CRAgamer You can get DOOM 1, 2, 3, and 64 for only 9 dollars right now!
@@narnianninja4964 HOLY FUCK that's a steal. Too bad I already bought em all when they released lol.
Daaaamn that unity port sounds like a very good deal, thank god is cheap here in argentina where every steam game released nowadays is expensive as hell, I'll sure give your challenge a try! Thank you for letting me know of this new port, love ya
PSX Doom is still a brilliant game, and I for one love the dark ambient soundtrack.
Agree. I'm glad it got a sequel in Doom 64.
Yep, totally agree. Doom 64 is a great game too, and, partly due I think, to it being an N64 exclusive, it wasn't given the attention it deserves for a very long time
@Karl Jobst : Actually, Auto-SR50 is not allowed in Doom speedrun. If you check rules :
-using auto sr50 on sourceports that have it is NOT ALLOWED
I didnt saw any categories accepting it yet
Waiting on Dream's one.
Ps1 doom! I found it at a Gamestop when I was a teen. It was one of the last ps1 games being sold in the store. Got it in the tall game case. I was suprised with the colored lighting and Sounds.
Great video
- an absolute legend
Ngl every time I see that intro in Playstation version I kinda tear up.
My dad and me play this game every year and the nostalgia always hits me. Not only because this is literally the first game I played as a fricking 6 year old (which definitely didnt traumatize me) and what got me into games. I normally dont like shooting games but this version makes me nostalgic every time. Glad people apricciate this as much as I do
i only have time to be called a legend today, will be back to see the rest of the video later
I played the psx version a lot back then... and people underestimate how important the music was. That version was brilliant and that was one of the reason. The music just gave you anxiety while playing, with random screams, etc. No other doom had such a good music for the game.
hello karl waiting for your dream video coming from drama alert
Fun fact. I bought the classic doom pack on steam a while back. Been playing mostly Ultimate doom, but stopped from january to October. When i came back and reinstalled, i thought i had installed something wrong, not realising this was the unity port. Now it makes sense.
Love your videos man, I am assuming you have probably heard 100 times over but I would love to hear you explain the Dream cheating case that is going on right now.
He already said that he's going to
@@Plexiscore Great
I love Doom. Couldn't speedrun it but I do love the game. Sourceports are important to Doom in general, for speedrunning, modding and so on. The community is still alive and well to this day.
"Hello you absolute legends!" A great way to start any video!
It's very good!
I appreciate the Doom videos, but it'd be a nice breath of fresh air to see something super absurd. Like, a history of Souls runs or something. Something away from the N64/90s PC era.
Awesome sm64 ports speedruns when?
I’m sure you’ve heard this before but as someone that has been through some of the most intense things life can throw at you I can’t tell you how much it means that you start off every video with calling us “you absolute legends”. It makes me feel better than so many “real” things.
And I know you don’t know me and I only found this channel about 2 weeks ago but you have been a great thing in my life to distract from all the BS.
You suck me into a world where the only thing that matters is shaving off seconds and I can’t thank you enough.
You should do a video on Dreams speedruns that could be fake..
'could be'
@@TanguyBlanchard it's possible..
Sadly..
@@boredLol213 no it's certain
@@TanguyBlanchard I agree with you.
He already said that he will be
Trying to speedrun hangar on UV gives me a new appreciation for speedrunning. The videos makes it look deceivingly easy.
Dream video?
I really love the doom videos, can’t beat a cup of tea, biscuit and Karl doom video, rock and roll. Please Keep them coming I respect how much research goes into these videos ! :)
Play the gba version and its o.k for non speedrun purposes!
Doom 1 on the GBA lacks some stuff, which is a shame, but it's still Doom in your pocket, which was pretty amazing at the time, and honestly it's still fun.
Doom 2 on the GBA has a few quirks, but it's also almost entirely intact, every monster and level is there, and the levels are actually not trimmed very much at all, so it's straight up Doom 2 in your pocket, which I think is a pretty great achievement for the modest hardware.
The music also sounds pretty cool on the GBA.
I've never really cared about speedrunning, Doom, or any of that stuff until I've stumbled upon Your channel. Now I want to know everything there is to know about any Doom port there is. Really, really great videos, no matter what the topic is, You always present it in a very, very interesting way.
And it's good to be called an absolute legend once in a while :D great job, I hope You'll keep them comin'.
Dream vid?
5:10 I audibly exclaimed at this. I fell and got stuck in that area more than once and had no idea how to get out until just now 😆
Waiting for the dream videos.
Karl, a new Doom milestone had been achieved! JCD, is the first player to complete a Final Doom: Plutonia Experiment on Nightmare with 100% secrets in 1h11m39s after 2127 attempts! I just saw the post, i figured you'd be the kind of person to like those kind of news. Merry Christmas Legend!
i mean, people speedrun sonic 06, so it's not surprising that people speedrun broken and bad doom ports.
It’s only 2 ports that actually broken (or unfinished). 3do and Saturn. And to be fair no one care about it) SNES port doesn’t count)
sonic 06 is pretty solid for speed running though
@@BigHuskyGG "solid" isn't quite the right word for a game that can break in entirely new ways at any given moment, lol. even if you know about all the busted mechanics and bugs, places like the crisis city mach speed section can completely destroy even the most experienced speed runner.
I remember putting a Technic LEGO weight brick on a key to get 'autorun' in Doom in 1994. Worked a treat!
dream?
Came here to specifically ask too lol
Bro thanks for allowing people to enter the competition through the pinned comment as well as going to the end of the video, it doesn’t even feel like a cheap way to get people watching the whole video
Wait, you don't speedrun Doom? Damn
Most interesting they used all the PS1 sounds and ambient music in Doom 64.
Dream video when ?
@Mr. Teton popular youtuber called Dream has been accused of cheating on his minecraft speedruns.
I've never been a speed runner but for some reason the practice just fascinates me - I have been enchanted by your channel, I may even try speed running some doom always such a great game!
Am I the only one that hates the PSX doom soundtrack with a white hot passion?
Yes
I don't hate it, but I really don't think it's that great, little variety and no melody. I think it works better for Doom 64, but I still don't find it great.
Probably not
I kind of wish you would've talked about the later Nerve ports like the 360 version or the BFG edition's version due to the differences in content (censorship).
Although it is somewhat hard to track down these versions since the original Nerve versions were removed from the XBLA store and as were the digital download versions of the BFG edition.
You are the 666 comment
I still have flashbacks of doing the Co op nightmare trophy on Ps4 for Doom 2 it is beyond hard.
I really like your vids there well edited and format is interesting i never understood how hard how speed running was till i watched your vid while i dont have the urge to play it i enjoy watching it keep up the good work pal
There is also official Windows 95 port of Doom, but it's not sold anywhere anymore as far as I know since it's just much easier to make DOS version run in newer versions of Windows.
