Given the fuckups around definitive editions and the fact that there’s already so many great, free, open source Doom engines and content, this feels like a money grab and a step backwards.

A new episode looks sick! It’s an amazing what they do with a freakin’ 30-year old game! I love seeing stuff like this.

Here’s a grey lining I saw on tumblr:

Except this new release doesn’t erase the existing game, and doesn’t prevent people from continuing to make mods however they want.

It’s a new version with new features and content, and they’re even giving it to existing owners for free, but people still find a way to complain.

Sweet! I haven’t played classic DOOM is quite some time. So this will be fun to check out since it’s already on my GOG.

Maybe I’ll check it out along with Selaco this weekend.

NICE! I may have to fire up Steam and check this out.

I own both, but on a set of 3.5" floppies somewhere in my dad’s basement. If they even still work… Doubt I’ll be able to claim my copy somehow.

It's an upgrade to the DOOM (1993) and DOOM II versions on Steam currently, which usually are only $2-3 each from what I remember.

I was going to say the same thing - will they send me a floppy disk with the upgrade?

MystikIncarnate ,

I hope so.

That would put me in a bit of a pickle, my last floppy drive went out of business sometime in the mid 2000’s. As soon as bootable USB sticks for recovery became viable, don’t exactly know when. But in my last 2 desktop computers I doubt I used the floppy drive once… Built them in mostly out of nostalgia. Or habit maybe.

What if I want to keep the original version? Can I still access it? I’m getting sick and tired of my games being replaced with shit I never asked for, even if it is arguably a “better” version.

SpaceNoodle ,

I read that it includes the original versions, which is something I’m also counting on.

Davel23 ,

It's already out, checked my Steam library and both this and the original versions are there.

You could check…

If I was at home I could…

When you launch, you get a prompt from Steam asking if you want to run this new rerelease or the original MS-DOS versions.
