Doom 2 – Better Resolution
3 07 2006
Remember Doom II game?
I still think it is one of the best game we ever played in past 10 years. Of course Doom 2 video game is not in best resolution at this time. We played hard anyway and we finished all levels even with Ultimate, Final and another version.
However it’s been quite while since it launched, (1994) I did not know they now having better resolution for it thru open source program. I’ve tried it and it was breathtaking! I am playing again – it is even better than Doom 3 in many ways even I never played it. It is not just better resolution, there’s alot of cool effects such as glow, smoother, and more texture.
You can download it at no extra charge at http://www.doomsdayhq.com — you still need Doom 2 game to make it possible. If you need cheat or secrets help, click here.

I wondered if you knew about the DOOM 3 cc modification?

You should check out the website too, they are working on Quake cc!

1st link doesn’t work?
oh, it was working the last time I checked, which was a few months ago. Sorry. The other site works and if you look through it, you will get the idea of what they are doing. They are adding CC (Really more like subtitles) to game scenes, and game noises, and some mod patches even have a “sound radar” so you can tell where noises are coming from, what noises are closeby and what are far away. I have not tried them but I read about the features on the site. I thought I’d mention it because you talked about Doom here. They are working on Quake 4 cc now.
This screenshot gave me nice goosebumps of those old days including the uncountable hours I’ve owned people in quake… Since your talking about gaming resolutions those back days, I thought maybe you should take a look at the upcoming game with the John Carmack’s innovative technology, so called “MexaTexturing”. It has newer architecture perspective the way we design the world mapping with higher resolution, shorter loading time, better memory buffer management, and *MAYBE* gaming experience will never be the same without this
