DOOM Icons Remastered for Modern Gamers

While eagerly awaiting the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages, many are revisiting the classic DOOM games. Good news for fans: the developers have resumed work and recently released an update for the DOOM + DOOM 2 compilation.

This update significantly enhances the technical aspects of the games, and more. Crucially, it introduces support for multiplayer modifications. For compatibility, these mods must be created using Vanilla DOOM, DeHackEd, MBF21, or BOOM. Cooperative gameplay now allows all players to collect items simultaneously. A new observer mode has been added for players who die while in cooperative mode, allowing them to spectate until revived. Multiplayer network code has also been optimized. Finally, the mod loader can now handle more than the initial 100+ subscribed mods.

Looking ahead to The Dark Ages, accessibility is a key focus. The game will offer extensive customization options, exceeding those found in previous id Software titles. Executive producer Marty Stratton emphasizes the team's commitment to broad accessibility.

Players will be able to adjust enemy damage and overall difficulty, projectile speed and damage, and other factors like game pace, enemy aggression, and parry timing. Stratton also confirmed that prior experience with DOOM: The Dark Ages isn't necessary to understand the narratives in either DOOM: The Dark Ages or DOOM: Eternal.
