Doom News - Doom 2 Remake on Unreal Engine? [Video]
10 years ago
General
It would appear someone is working on a Doom 2 Remake using the Unreal Engine 4, a graphics engine used to make very highly defined models.
I have to say, the graphics are quite nice and evil looking. But can something like this really be done for Doom 2 effectively? I looks like it's being used with another game as a catalyst to work over. But the author of the Mod(?) isnt saying much, and seems to be rather slow with this development. You can actually find the mod for download at https://www.moddb.com as a demo test. My current PC cant handle it; but if YOU guys can, why not go try it out?
What do you guys think?
Think a game like this could perform well? Do the graphics appeal to the likeness of the original Doom 2?

I think this is basically just some guy screwing around with Unreal 4 to see if he can make it work before ditching the project and moving onto something more substantial (and original). And even if it does end up going somewhere, Id Software will probably slap him with a Cease & Desist order before long.
I think I'd rather see source port coders adding more modern-day graphical enhancements to the original Doom 2 rather than remaking it in an entirely new engine. XD
Oh well its nice dreaming I tell you.
For some reason shininess makes them feel like it has some sort of unexplainable "depth"; but now that you mention it, it does feel empty and rather clumsy looking.
Now I kinda feel silly for even bringing this mod up in the first place... T_T *is full of shame*
That for the visuals....
For the gameplay feel they like miles away from what the game should be.
My perosnal 2 cents. Consideringt hey didnt even finish the first small level. I somehow doubt that this remake will cover the whole Doom2 experince.
Plus if you ask me if you ahve all the tech of the world, why not improve the mape geometry for details (at last that was done in Doom3 remake)
Kudos to them for trying it! Whatever they're attempting they both have a lot of work ahead of them (GIANT IMP CHUNKS) and some very high expectations
