Based. I grew up thinking Halo 2 was the only Halo game until MCC was released. I was fascinated.

NON retarded OP post about Final Doom:

I used to see the Final Doom box at Radio Shack, and I used to have these big thoughts about what it could be as I had seen DOOM up close, but figured 'oh man the graphics on this thing must be insane'

And it turns out to be just a shitty level pack
>>
>>12074741
It has superior levels to Doom and Doom 2.
>>
there's a decompilation PC port of PS1 Doom now, it's spooky and atmospheric I recommend it for October
>>
>>12075084
Yeah Plutonia is the best commercial release by far.
>>
>>12074098
ahh.. to live a sovlfvl life
>>
>>12075084
>>12075463
>Superior levels to Doom 1 and 2

Did id know other FPSes had come out at that point and nobody cared about Doom?
>>
>>12074098

Does not really live up to the hype - some good earlier maps but later on it fades. A product to cash in.

You should really travel back in time and tell that to all the people who bought it. Final Doom was a gap filling product to tide people over while iD was working on Quake, but fans of Doom still ended up loving it.

>Are you unable to wait for Quake?
>Did you like Doom 2?
>Would you like two big and cool mission packs for Doom 2?
>Together with higher screen resolutions?
>And a relatively convenient launcher front-end for Windows?
That was the value proposition for Final Doom, and it turns out that, yes, people wanted it, because it kept selling and iD kept having print runs made. They even ported it to Playstation.

The Playstation port is a huge compromise. Final Doom's levels are more demanding than Doom 2's, which is why Final Doom for Windows 95 came with a new .exe with higher static limits to better handle it.

That means that Final Doom was gonna get even more cut down than Doom and Doom 2 got cut down for Playstation, and what you get is about half of Evilution (popularly regarded as the weaker part of Final Doom), and only a few levels from Plutonia (the best part), and inbetween that you get a whole bunch of levels from The Master Levels set (popularly regarded as very mediocre) working as filler.

If you only had a Playstation, and you really liked Doom on that and wanted more, the Final Doom release would give you that, but it really wasn't even close to as good as the proper PC version, not at all.

>>12074098
I clapped.

>>12075761
Most people agree that TNT is a slog while Plutonia is mostly great

The Playstation port was one of the few FPS games on the system which supported a mouse
