iPhone Doom Classic
- Thread starter EvilOne666
- Start date
I think the motivation is pretty clear that there is nostalgia, and that you can't look up and down so it plays better. Full 3d looking controls will be tricky on any handhold without a stick on it, and the trend toward slim devices kind of kills that stick idea.
As a single player game, sure, but lame graphically. I supposed for those who didn't complete it 3 or 4 times already...
Quake3 is not a game. It's a sport. It's entertainment values are different.

quoting john carmack :
duh!
why not just use the software renderer. I know he likes to put up with shit and wants to use the iphone GPU. but I quite like using the original renderer over blurry, filtered opengl versions with bland lighting. The software renderer can be used at any arbitrary resolution, too.
/edit : instead you could be able to switch the renderer in game options, to run the game how you want, depending on how you feel like

Aye. Do it in software. Doom's uber low-res textures through 3D-card filtering looks PAP anyway, far worse than the pixellated mess of the original game.
Then again, why go through the pain and suffering trying to play action games on a device that has no buttons and no tactile feedback from input - not to mention having bits of the screeen obscured by your wiggling fingers...?
The simple answer is of course $$$ - something John undoubtedly spends a lot of time thinking about.

You have got to be joking! The lack of MIP mapping in the original software doom was horrendous. You can always switch to point sampling for when the texture is enlarged if you prefer the blocky effect if you wish
I'm not joking at all. The doom monsters aren't the least bit scary or intimidating when they look like fluffy smeared clouds moving towards the player. Besides, any issues with lack of mipmapping is part of the original experience. You may as well redo the whole game then with new art, levels and sound if you don't want crawly-ant pixels...
Fun wise, Doom still wipes the floor with Q3 big time.

Doom 64 seemed plenty scary enough (I really like that game a lot
... yes, it did feature completely new art for sprites and backgrounds IIRC).Blazkowicz

they are different experiences.
I would say, Q3 is not even suited for mobile gaming, and certainly not to be played at 30 fps. it needs keyboard, mouse, a powerful enough CPU and a 100 or 120Hz display.
