Massive nostalgia hit for this one. The update is crisp and smooth. Free update for current owners. Quake II 64 was relatively unknown and different to Quake II

I’m down. I’m playing on my switch right now with gyro.

[–] this_is_router@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wait what?! That works? So you turn around and tilt up/down to move the camera? Like with a handheld VR device?

[–] Kosta554@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

If you’re handy you can modify the Nintendo labo VR into Doom 2 VR.

Nice. I love games that allow the gyro for aiming.

[–] Kosta554@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It all started with Splatoon 2 and now I use it on my steam pc with my switch controller and gyro.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

How did you get steam to recognize the gyro? I have a bitdo pro 2 and I can't get anything on PC to see the gyro in it. The software doesn't really do anything except rebound keys. Is it a steam setting?

Count me in!

[–] ThickQuiveringTip@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Fuck yeah. I haven't tried out the multiplayer yet, but reviews are saying it works well.

[–] itsdavetho@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

How do we arrange this?

[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

How does multiplayer work without Game Spy?

[–] twistedtxb@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I never played the n64 version. I didn't even know it existed!

Very short but had a lot of fun! Playing a n64 game in 4k/60 is quite surreal

[–] GreenMario@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Give Doom 64 and the Turok remasters a shot too.

[–] Raab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The turok remaster is a huge justice done to that game. Pure nostalgia

Playing this on the PSX was such a unforgettable experience. The soundtrack is a banger to this day, level design was interesting and made me want to push further.

[–] ThickQuiveringTip@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Playing through again made me realise how good the level design is. It's linear at heart but gives an open progression feel throughout the stages. Gun play is so tight.
