​

The upcoming port release of Doom 64, which is scheduled to be released on March 20th, 2020, alongside the long-awaited Doom Eternal, will feature a brand-new chapter as a continuation of the original Doom 64 story, and a direct follow-up after Doomguy defeats the final boss of the game.
The new chapter also promises to add in a "bit of lore" that seems to cater to fans of both the original and the modern Doom series.

“On our end, persistent players will have the opportunity to unlock a new chapter in the Doomguy’s saga, taking place shortly after [Doom 64’s] original campaign concludes. The Mother Demon you defeated in that outing had a sister, and since you’ve been messing up Hell non-stop, she tries to get rid of you by sending you away. If you can make your way back and take revenge, you’ll be rewarded with a bit of lore that fans of both series, new and classic, should enjoy.”

personally i'd like if there was an option to remove the filtering, as i'm pretty strongly against the muddy look it gave to nearly all n64 games

I wholeheartedly agree.
I really don't bilinear filter in anything, so if they include such an option, it'd be great.

Here's hoping the new ROM will be leaked and playable on an Everdrive

By the way, aren't you the guy who made MaternalBound? I didn't know you were part of the GBATemp staff

Yes I am the one who did MaternalBound
But I am not from the staff, I simply submitted the news article.

It'll be interesting to see if this is a modified rom being interpreted or actually remade in a new engine.

If there's enough interest I'd love to see the new chapter hacked into the n64 version, but nevertheless I'm happy to see this game will be easily accessible again.

You're spitballing. Please stop.

I'm not. I just wanted to know how regarded was this game compared to others, specially regarding controls.
@ShadowOne333 and @pedro702 Thanks.

Too late, Resident Evil 6 already did that.
And guess what country it hit? :^}

First Half-Life Alex, then Black Mesa 1.0, and now extra levels for DOOM 64. This is turning out to be a good year!

No fancy graphics or anything too glamorous..

from the video, it has the only enhancement that it needs. BRIGHTNESS.

I concur that Doom 64 EX is the best way to play Doom 64

Hopefully they are able to port this new chapter

Has anyone made fan levels for Doom 64?

Nintendo 64 fan made content has been exploding lately.

Considering that this is basically just Doom64EX, I wonder if the files will be compatible with the free version that's already released

 

[Silent_Gunner]

I should have been more specific: I'm waiting for this new chapter to be added to the Doom 64 EX sourceport.

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

What are the chances it ends with the Doom 2016 armor in some way? Sprite/splash screen?

probably wouldn't take too long, if it goes the way of the switch versions of the doom games it'd probably be ported to unity, and luckily unity is easy to tear apart
would be preferable if it was on a proper doom engine but nothing's perfect i guess

Why would you want fancy graphics?
Doom 64 is already a really good looking game for what it is.
If you want fancy stuff, play Doom 64 on GzDoom or one of those bloated Brutal Doom craps.
Adding stuff like that to Doom64 would kill the mood of it.

Besides, I would much rather play a new chapter in Doom 64 rather than have those "fancy graphics".

"for what it is" yeah, but in comparison to other games it isn't all that good. fancy graphics would be a nice thing to have.
Also you can call it crap all you want, but when it adds blood and gore, alongside a shitload of other useful awesome items and better sound effects and graphics, it's friggin awesome. fuck the mood, i want good gameplay dammit

A new DOOM on its way, global testoterone level on the rise

 

[LightBeam]

Besides the new chapter, what are the differences between that and Doom64 EX already available as an homebrew ? Is Bethesda still asking for a Bethesda account to play ?
