Did Doom 1 have more realistic looking places than Doom 2 (which was rushed)Always thought that growing up
yes. the first game had less of an obvious "created in a level editor" vibe.
>>12694615Doom 2 has better level design in general
Yeah. I feel like the second game had more levels that were 'open to interpretation'. Levels where you filled in the blanks and thought up your own meaning for what some of the levels were
>>12694615No, ep2 and ep3 were way more rushed than Doom 2
Not really
>>12694615>Always thought that growing upDid you only play the first episode?
>>12694615>Doom II: Hell On Earth>4/32 levels look anything like something you would see on EarthWhat did they mean by this?
>>12694643I'm guessing its Hell corrupting Earth and making it unrecognizable. That or Earth was already Hell to live on
>>12694643>Phobos>go outside>see thisWhat did they mean by this?
>>12694615None of this shit is realistic whatsoever, play Duke 3d
Isn't most of Doom 2 taking place in hell, or near a hell portal?
>>12694654>It's a Dukefag couldn't wait to talk about Duke in a thread that was completely unrelated to DukeLook I know your franchise is dead but c'mon. Just can't help yourself, huh.
>>12694663I prefer Doom but it's no more realistic than super mario bros is.
>>12694615Really? What kind of lab Deimos lab is?
>>12694654Duke 3D does look way better but that's because it released way later.
>>12694615it's a pointless comparison because doom is the same kind of mostly nonsensical abstraction. they're great games but logical evironmental design isn't one of its strongsuits.
>>12694615Doom2, which I do like, sometimes had to resort to drawing giant arrows on the ground to show the player where to go.
>>12694915>sometimesHow many times?
>>12694946>loaded question fagg
>>12694717In fact, I'd go so far as to say that its illogical evironmental design is one of its strong suits
>>12694946At least once, which would be some of the time.
>>12694615The designs were rather more abstract in the original Doom.
>>12694647This is the canonical explanation for the bizarre nature of some stages in Doom 1 and 2. It's Hell warping reality.
the way the Doom engine works makes E1 look the best
>>12695237the way shareware model works makes the author put the best looking levels in the first episode.
>>12694647>That or Earth was already Hell to live ongame takes place in the future at a time when they have bases on Mars. Earth would be hell enough by then.
>>12694630Wrong.
>>12694615DꝎM 2's levels look about as good as the first game's until around Dead Simple, if a bit less visually interesting because it's all brown and grey. Starting from the city levels, the texturing and even the lighting are very strange. I personally believe that from that point onwards was when they started to rush things up.DꝎM 64 mogs anything that came before though.
>>12694653They made the place habitable by planting trees and stuff I assume.The skybox is incoherent with the result screen however.
>>12694615Id didn't really understand level design until they got to Quake 1.
>>12694615>"we don't want to make maps that look too close to real life"what the fuck were they thinking
E1 looked like a tech baseE2 looked like a tech base corrupted by bellE3 looked like hellDoom2 looks like Sandy Peterson fucking around in the level editor>>12695367DOOM64 is peak
>>12694653you'll note that the skybox crops out everything but the rock formations
>>12695661duly noted
Nah, Doom II has environments that look like real places instead of abstract labyrinths.
>>12694653Imagine living in that bit of China then sitting down to play Doom. How would you feel
>>12695654You give too much credit to E2 and E3, it's just an unpolished set of levels with bad texturing looking mostly like caverns>DOOM64 is peakOh, a D64fag. This explains everything
>>12695804Like the emperor has bestowed his blessings with a nice blue jacket (surrounded by acid)
>>12694615>It's that thread againThis is worse than Sonic 3 versus S&K threads.
>>12694643You have to use your imagination, anon. I'ts like playing with legos. Not everything you see is what you think you are supposed to see.
>>12694653Doom 1 was a prequel of plutonia because it takes place in earth (theorically)
>>12694946Any Sandy fucking Peterson level.
