4. What Is Brutal Doom

Raiden II has an especially large spike in the second and third levels on the higher two difficulty settings. Sniper tanks, sniper tanks, everywhere. The first 16 tutorial levels for Bangai-O Spirits teach you the mechanics of the game. The 17th (last) is an average difficulty level. On a scale of 1 to 100, the first 16 are all 5s or below,.

If you’re like me, May can’t come soon enough because id Software dropped a new trailer for DOOM showing some new tidbits from the single player campaign. More importantly, it has set the release date for all platforms on the 13th of May, 2016. This will be the culmination of 5 years of work, barring the years between 2008-2011 where what was done was scrapped for “Looking too much like Call of DOOM.” But that’s still about 3 months away so what’s an anticipating DOOMer to do to fill the time? Why play Brutal Doom and Project Brutality of course!

Brutal Doom is the brainchild of Sgt. MarkIV, a dedicated DOOM modder who released the first version back in 2010 and has been updating it ever since. The whole concept essentially was to take everything that made Doom, Doom and turn the dial all the way up to 11 and tear it out, taking inspiration from the schlocky B-Moviesque Doom Comic released back in the mid-1990s.

Brutal Doom is a gameplay mod that was created in 2010 by Sergeant Mark IV. It is compatible with Doom, The Ultimate Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth, Final Doom, TNT: Evilution, Plutonia and other custom WADs. Brutal Doom won the first ever Cacoward in 2011 for Best Gameplay Mod and a MOTY award for creativity by Mod DB in 2012. Brutal Doom received public recognition from John Romero himself.

Hazards still hurt the player when activated, and turning it on actually causes you to lose health in the game’s brutal Nightmare difficulty level. Earlier in development, one code made it so all enemies are totally immune to guns. They could only be. Brutal Doom is the brainchild of Sgt. MarkIV, a dedicated DOOM modder who released the first version back in 2010 and has been updating it ever since. The whole concept essentially was to take.

Brutal Doom not only turned up the gore by allowing you to do things like blow the head clean off the shoulders of an enemy, rip their eyes out, or tear off one of their limbs and knock their head off like your kid at a T-Ball game. It also totally reworked how DOOM was played. The weapons were given a fresh coat of paint (or in the case of the pistol, replaced altogether with an assault rifle, turning the original weapon progression tiers on their head), alternate fire functions, smoother animation, increased difficulty levels, and the AI of the enemies were dramatically improved allowing them to get creative with how they attack you, be they imps leaping at you when you get to close or a Baron of Hell launching a room sweeping plasma blast.

Project Brutality is an extension of Brutal Doom, created by PA1NK1LL3R and given the official blessing by Sgt. MarkIV, expands your options, weapons, enemies, difficulties, and everything else that Brutal Doom has to offer and more if you want a more complex experience.

However, ever since the public release of trailers for DOOM (still sore about QuakeCon 2015), people in the Doom community have been noticing a large number of similarities between it, Brutal Doom, and Project Brutality. These have ranged from overarching concepts such as the implementation of larger amounts of gore and the implementation of executions to more direct elements such as one of the weapons being very similar and even a few of the fatalities in DOOM being copied wholesale.

Many in the community simply use the similarities to poke fun at them while others have taken them more seriously than actually necessary, saying that DOOM 4 is a triple-A copy of Brutal Doom. However, the whole idea of DOOM ripping off Brutal Doom and Project Brutality is flawed and for a very good reason. It’s common knowledge that everything in culture builds off of a previous work, in this case it’s no exception. A better way to think about the matter is to consider it a cycle of creativity; Brutal Doom and Project Brutality both being the fruit of John Carmack’s decision to make Doom modder friendly and to provide the tools for it which set the trend for all modding utilities today. And after they breathed new life into a still strong game and its modding community, it only makes sense that id Software would build off of the things that made Brutal Doom great and incorporate them into the new game, in effect completing the cycle. For me, knowing this will make playing DOOM that much more special. But until it comes out, it’s time to RIP AND TEAR!

(Thanks to Youtuber JRMYXD for his video highlighting the similarities.)

Final Doom is a first-person shootervideo game developed by TeamTNT, and Dario and Milo Casali, and was released by id Software and distributed by GT Interactive Software in 1996. It was released for MS-DOS and Macintosh computers, as well as for the PlayStation, although the latter featured a selection of levels from Final Doom and from Master Levels for Doom II.

Final Doom consists of two non-canon 32-level episodes (or megawads), TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment. Unlike TNT: Evilution, which was officially licensed, The Plutonia Experiment was made by request of the team at id Software.^[1] The story in both episodes take place after the events of Doom II.^[2]TNT: Evilution features a new soundtrack not found in Doom and Doom II.

Gameplay[edit]

Final Doom plays identically to Doom II: Hell on Earth, and even features the same weapons, items, and monsters.^[3] The original game is widely considered to be significantly more difficult than its predecessors Doom and Doom II.

The gameplay in the PlayStation version of Final Doom is nearly identical to that found in the PlayStation version of Doom, and, in addition, it was compatible with the PlayStation Mouse.^[4] Compared to the MS-DOS original, the PlayStation version's overall difficulty was significantly reduced. Many of the harder levels were removed and those that remained often had enemies taken out (most noticeably the Cyberdemon being removed from the level 'Baron's Lair'). As in the original PlayStation version of Doom, many of the larger levels from the original MS-DOS versions of Final Doom and Master Levels for Doom II were removed, and both the Arch-vile and Spider Mastermind monsters were removed, due to technical constraints. This limited the PlayStation version to 30 levels in total. The more traditional rock tracks featured in Final Doom were replaced by a creepier ambient soundtrack by Aubrey Hodges, who later composed the music for Doom 64 in 1997.

There are several noticeable alterations to the presentation of Final Doom in the PlayStation version compared to the computer versions. The simplistic title screens featured in the computer versions have been replaced by a more elaborate title screen that features the animated flame-filled sky texture from the original PlayStation version of Doom. Many of the levels' sky textures have been replaced by different ones; some levels' skies are replaced by sky textures seen in previous Doom games, whereas others now feature a new starry sky texture. Finally, most of the level layouts are simplified, similar to previous Doom console ports, and the frame rate of the game is often lower than it was in the first PlayStation Doom game.

Plot[edit]

TNT: Evilution[edit]

In TNT: Evilution, the UAC are once again intent on developing and experimenting with dimensional gateway technology. They set up a base on one of the moons of Jupiter, with a solid detachment of space marines for protection. The marines do their job well; when the first experimental gateway is opened, they annihilate the forces of Hell. Research continues with more confidence and all security measures turned at the gateway.

A few months later, the yearly supply ship comes ahead of schedule, and looks strange and unusually big on the radar. The lax radar operators decide that there is nothing to worry about. The personnel of the base go out to behold the terrible truth: it is a spaceship from Hell, built out of steel, stone, flesh, bone and corruption. The ship's enormous gates open to unleash a rain of demons on the base. Quickly, the entire facility is overrun, and everyone is slain or zombified.

The main character, the nameless space marine (who was revealed to be the marine commander on the moon) has been away on a walk at that time and thus escapes death or zombification. After being attacked by an imp, he rushes back to the base where he sees the demonic spaceship still hovering above it and realizes what has happened. He then swears that he will avenge his slain troops and sets out to kill as many demons as possible.

In the end, the marine defeats the Icon of Sin and the game describes 'something rumbles in the distance. A blue light glows within the ruined skull of the demon-spitter.'

The Plutonia Experiment[edit]

In The Plutonia Experiment, after Hell's catastrophic invasion of Earth, the global governments decide to take measures against any possible future invasion, knowing that the powers of Hell still remained strong. The UAC is refounded under completely new management (the old trustees and stockholders were all dead anyway) and aims at developing tools that would prevent demonic invasions.

The scientists start working on a device known as the Quantum Accelerator that is intended to close invasion Gates and stop possible invasions. The experiments are carried out in a secret research complex, with a stationed detachment of marines. The work seems to be going well but the creatures from Outside have their attention drawn towards the new research. A Gate opens in the heart of the complex and unnatural horrors pour out. The Quantum Accelerator performs superbly: the Gate is quickly closed and the invasion is stopped. Research continues more boldly.

On the next day, a ring of 7 Gates opens and an even greater invasion begins. For one hour the Quantum Accelerators manage to close 6 of the Gates, but the Hellish army has become too numerous and too strong. The complex is overrun. Everyone is slain, or zombified. The last Gate of Hell remains open, manned and guarded by a Gatekeeper: a powerful, enormous and ancient demon that has the power to open Dimensional Gates and control or protect them.

The government, frantic that the Quantum Accelerator will be destroyed or used against humanity, orders all marines to the site at once. The player, the nameless space marine, was on leave at the beach. He was also closest to the site and gets there first. There he discovers that there is much demonic activity (howling, chanting, machine sounds) within the complex; the Gatekeeper is obviously working on something, and his work would soon reach some awful climax. He also realizes that when the marines arrive, they would not be able to penetrate the heavily infested complex, despite the firepower and support they will have. The marine decides to enter the complex and stop the Gatekeeper alone.

Development[edit]

Work on TNT: Evilution was started by TeamTNT, a group of WAD-making hobbyists who were active on the advanced Doom editing mailing list. Just days before it was to be released as a free download online, the project was acquired by id Software, and finished in November 1995.

Brothers Dario and Milo Casali, who had contributed four levels to TNT: Evilution, were assigned the task of creating what became The Plutonia Experiment after having sent an eight-level WAD they had created to American McGee and managing to impress him along with the rest of the id Software crew. They created 16 levels each for The Plutonia Experiment in four months time, and submitted them in January 1996. Unlike their contributions to TNT: Evilution, which were edited after submission (four were also rejected due to being too large to run on the computers of the day), these were the final revisions of the levels, and Dario Casali later commented about the fact that no changes were requested: 'Thank God because I was ready to throw my computer out the window at the time.'^[5]

Dario Casali acknowledged the difficulty level of The Plutonia Experiment in an interview on Doomworld, stating 'Plutonia was always meant for people who had finished Doom 2 on hard and were looking for a new challenge. I always played through the level I had made on hard, and if I could beat it too easily, I made it harder, so it was a challenge for me.'^[5]

Reception[edit]

Reviewing the PC version in GameSpot, Jim Varner argued that Final Doom is a waste of money, since it is essentially just a new set of level maps for Doom, and there were already thousands of such maps available to download for free on the internet.^[7]

While Major Mike of GamePro criticized that Final Doom has no new enemies or weapons, and that the PlayStation version includes only 30 levels as compared to the PC version's 64, he was pleased with the 'huge, perplexing, and sometimes sadistic levels' and the new scenery, and considered Doom still a compelling enough game that simply more of the same was enough to satisfy.^[4]PlayStation Magazine gave it a score of 9/10, calling it 'essential'.^[9] A reviewer for Next Generation was less impressed, remarking that a side-by-side comparison with the PlayStation version of the original Doom reveals that Final Doom has a much lower frame rate, less precise control, and more visible seams in the textures.^[8] Three of the four reviewers of Electronic Gaming Monthly said they were tired of seeing ports of Doom, and that Final Doom was simply another such port with new level maps. They also said that the game engine had become severely outdated in the years since Doom was first released. Crispin Boyer was the one dissenting voice, expressing enthusiasm for the new level designs.^[6]
