In this video, we play through the first levels of Doom on the PlayStation for Punching Weight. Afterwards, I also show off Final Doom on the PlayStation. If you're a fan of the Doom series, don't miss this video! PS 1 Doom is an iconic use of horror for the series. I'll take you through the magic the folks at Midway were able to spin to make PSX Doom truly special. We're living in the age of Doom 64, and it's time to see where the inspiration for Nintendo 64 Doom comes from. Of course we'll also discuss the gameplay and the differences between the original Doom on the PC and the ports for the PlayStation.

The different tones of Doom music PS Doom: you are stuck in hell with demons PC Doom: demons are stuck in hell with you

@IronwillNeo 20 күн бұрын

PC DOOM: Player feels badass because of the music that maybe helps boost the action PS1 DOOM: Teaches "when in hell fight like hell" with no need to write it on screen and it feels badass slaughtering demons at full speed Either way, demons are stuck in hell with Doomguy, but hell in PS1 feels more like "hell" and less like a "B movie" ... and honestlly, even when I played th PC versions I muted the songs and set PS1 music because it did not feel DOOM to me, still weapons sound less powerful too on PC version but the music to me is a nono, I grew up with PS1 DOOM,, my first fps game that I played it for literal 12 or 13 years on PS1 and emulator before I first played the PC versions so it always sounded (and looked) off to me. Still played at full speed the same at both, it is all about getting used to the gamepad (and as I mentioned, it was my first DOOM also my first fps, I do know how to circle strafe at ful speed while also changing directions to dodge everything and position myself behind other demons to avoid hitscam enemies, it is literally the same thing as on PC version).

PC version is still amazing but people look the PS1 port with the wrong eyes, since from the first level its clearly the intentions from the developers. If the game ended up being 100% the same as PC i would find it boring to play.

Those werent adapted as well? Ok, i get it.... we dont need to continue talking.

It isnt nearly as fun as Doom 1 and 2 and in terms of narrative it pales into comparison with other FPS at the time like Half Life 2. Doom 3 doesnt really know what it wants to be. Thats also the complain i have with the modern Doom games but at least they compensate with better level design and controls, Doom 3 level design is very linear and too much cramped.

You made me realize that I have NEVER played Doom with its original soundtrack! The first Doom I played was the shareware version of chapter 1, on a Windows 3.1 PC with no dedicated sound card. It had no music at all and all soundbites were 8-bit crushed to death. And then my second Doom was... the PS1 one. That's probably why I don't recognize any of the Doom classic themes, but that PS1 opening menu gave me chills!

I remember my first exposure to Doom was a review about it on TV when I was very young, and a few years later when I got ahold of the PC version I was extremely confused that the game was MUCH brighter, with rock music and different sound effects. I thought that maybe the inconsistencies were my childhood memories having degraded severely over the years. I realized later that the review I had seen on TV was the Playstation version! Finally got ahold of this amazing port during the pandemic, and got two copies to play Co-op mode.

Doom 64 at the time opened the floodgates for Ambiant sound tracks in Doom franchise. It makes complete sense for the concept to exist. I wish the newer editions of the official ports had the option to swap the tracks. Obviously, add online multiplayer first but still. Edit: I know 64 came out in 97, while the PSX port was 95. Doom 64 had a bigger impact than the official Doom ports of old (consumer wise anyway). Doom 3 also took PSX and 64's concepts for it's OST as well.

There were 2 different ideas for doom in most people's heads between the fast metal and slower horror atmosphere. Wish psx doom and 64 were more notorious within the fanbase, would have made doom 3 less jarring. Hope the next doom doesn't go full on comic book, got a little silly for me.

It's the One-Two punch of both Aubrey Hodges's music/sfx combined with the colored lighting that really brings the classic Doom offering full-circle. Sure, classic Doom on its own might be unnerving as far as monster encounters and such, but, with the ATMOSPHERE that PSX Doom brings, you can actually FEEL the fires of hell as you start to transition from starport maps into hellish maps. When the soundtrack is droning with its terror strings and babies crying in the distance, and you step out from a shaded stone building onto a molten pad lit by only the reddish/amber hues of the fire sky, there's literally no other experience like that.

A fantastic and fully accurate way to play Playstation Doom on PC in the modern age is PsyDoom. It is a full backport of the game that uses the original PS1 game files and allows you to switch between a new hi-res renderer and the original, complete with the mild texture-warping, all running at 60fps. I still prefer to play the Playstation original, but this is an excellent option for those who'd rather keep things up to date. Oh and it works with Final Doom too.

Have you guys thought of covering DOOM Resurrection on Sega 32x? It's a fan developed rom hack of DOOM 32x that offers full screen, a rebuilt genesis soundtrack. Splitscreen co-op, Sega CD support, and even console vs console multi-player using a Zero Tolerance link cable (a multi-player cable only supported by one FPS on the genesis). Its like the version of DOOM the 32x should have got back in the day, and you can play it on real hardware. Seems like a prime punching weight candidate?

Grabbed a PS1 copy of Doom a few weeks back. Used to rent it all the time back in the day and thought it was time to finally have my own copy. It really is the most playable and memorable port for consoles back then.

I like how this port went the scary route of atmospheric hell feel creeping the player out they should make this an option for the ports or just give us this version as a wad for modern consoles looks so damn amazing for what it is it feels as if doom 3 borrowed from 64 and Playstation doom

It's really Silent Hill music like 3 years before Silent Hill. Hodges/Yamaoka collab would be SICK.

@StopSkeletonsFromFighting Жыл бұрын

That'd be an interesting collab because Hodges' pieces are composed with length in mind, where as Yamaoka's really scary Silent Hill pieces are typically brief. I'd be interested in Hodges making 60-90 second pieces that were more focused on quick and abrasive as opposed to slow and droning.

I will never forget my psxdoom disc my father had since I was a baby, first time I played it my father let me fight the cyberdemon knowing it scares me when I was 6 (which defeated 1st try with no knowledge of game), after that day something changed on me, I wanted more and so I grew up with the playstation port of this game, not pc or anything, hell even tought it was original of playstation, that disc sadly broke 3 or 4 years ago, I am 21 years old now, never gonna forget it, infact I wanted to have it so much I play it on a psx emulator on my pc, keyboard only on a psx port of doom, sounds like fun for me, and it was, in 1 day whole ultimate doom completed without a single death, I still got the touch baby. But yeah, good ol' days I am gonna miss forever, using my ps2 for the game and spend all day on it, never gonna get old, this is why I love psxdoom and doom 64, the ambiences are what I grew up with, not rock or metal soundtrack, just ambience, a perfect one. Also gotta say in 12:56 that song is used for many scary mods such as forest of the ghouls, that be the 1st hell map song and the spookiest. About Final DOOM I never played it, my father got the game when it barely sold sadly, but might try with the emulator, as much played it with the PSXDOOM TC mod, all I can say... The ambience is even darker and I love it, for real one of the songs always made me watch my back even when I knew all monsters were killed, hell the sewers level of the bfg edition of doom 2 (the bad map that got a bug) is fire in the psx port, and it has that theme that actually managed to scare me with its faded screams.

"Playing Playstation Doom is sometimes playing these levels again for the first time" 100%! I played Doom around release in 93-94' and kept playing the PC version and tons of wads ever since. But finally playing PSX Doom through the first time a few years ago, seriously took me back to the mid 90's and felt like I was somehow rediscovering it all again for the first time. I still can't even put into words how surreal and awesome the experience was! Now I'll hit up some of the mods someday, I've been keeping tabs on PsyDoom.
