Ready to feel ancient? The original Doom is 25 years old -- and co-creator John Romero wants to make sure you know it. He's preparing an add-on for the 1993 game, Sigil, that serves as a "spiritual successor" to the classic shooter's fourth episode ("Thy Flesh Consumed") with nine single-player story levels as well as nine multiplayer deathmatch levels. The expansion will be free if you're just looking for some nostalgia-fueled demon slaying,

I beat it, UV pistol starts, it was very hard. It feels oppressive, cuz it's a bunch of tight spaces with little strafing room, you gotta make every shot count, there's very little health, and it's mostly really dark. I liked it overall, but last map took me like 5 min, I just walked past the bosses. I think it could use a bit more ammo for pistol starts, maybe a few chainguns.

I been playing a lot more doom 2 the past few years. I never really bothered before but the custom content is very good. It's the most skill based sp fps imo, but it takes a good mapper to show it off. years after the last quake server goes offline there will still be an unlimited supply of doom stuff to play.

I use gzdoom mainly because it supports everything, but without the mouselook and all that extra shit. If you do use gzdoom you prob wanna set the texture filtering to none, it makes sprites look blurry. Also the sector lighting should be set to 'vanilla' . You can also enable a SW banding option to make it look a bit darker in the distance like how it's supposed to.

gdoom's physics and stuff isn't exactly the same as vanilla which is the main problem with it, but idc that much. You can play maps that can have bridges and all sorts of crazy scripting that you cant do in the other ports. I think romero primarily designed and tested sigil in gzdoom anyway.

Crispy doom will run sigil closest to vanilla, but it wont work with the buckethead soundtrack, next step up would be prboom i think.
