I started a discord to Link up all Console DOOM runners. All advantages, disadvantages, and strategies across all versions will be compiled, and tested here. Shockingly, there are still versions of DOOM yet to be submitted here on Speedrun...
GBA, 32X, 3DO, SATURN, PSX, JAG, X360... plenty of others to work with! Our ultimate Goal is to have every Port of DOOM 1 Listed here on Speedrun.com By DOOM's 25th anniversary, a year from today!
This will also be a great place to meet other runners, and discover other versions of DOOM to run. There is only one rule:
Don't be a dick!
See you guys soon! Happy Anniversary Doom!
You realise you can list them but the mods aren't listing them because people literally aren't playing them on those consoles because they're slow? I feel that answers the "why" in the simplest of manners, I get what you're saying but this isn't an encyclopedia for DOOM, it's just a catalogue for Speedrun's pertaining to it.
We actually have quite a few people interested in running the select ports available now, and already submitted for more... Whats wrong with 'slowest'? The point of speed running is to go fast of course... so why not try to go fastest at the slowest... if that makes any sense? lol
Also check ITYTD, I think you'll find GBA Episode 1-3 already Beat PC in Any% (exclude 4 or 5 maps, but a lot of differences like no E2M6 skip). So not all that slow, there's lots of different strategy for frame saves and lag reduction we are still figuring out!
We have a few people interested in seeing these versions added (SNES, 3DO, or Jaguar at the very least). And doesn't PS1 doom literally Have 1 runner?? Whats wrong with a new category (Seperate game page) for a single run, regardless of what version? :|
Fair enough, I thought you were asking just for asking's sake and not because there's people who were wanting it :P There's a lot of instances of people wanting boards for games on random game versions for the "free WR" mentality
I mean sure at first golds will come easy for the few submitting, but over all its really testament to Doom being such an awesome game, every version deserves a spot, and a few runners have been undertaking routing all ports to go here in the next few months/weeks :)
SNES Doom just had its first full game run today, so it should be on here in a week or so, and 3DO and XBLA have been set up this week. Things are going swell to make sure each version is giving running love/good optimization.
Plenty of different tricks in different versions :)
Don't ask me, this is pc doom here, this thread is ancient. Go to any of console LBs and ask there on forum.
Hey everyone so I'm gonna make this short because I have to go to work shortly.
I was made a moderator for the Classic Doom's here on SRC, and there's going to be changes.
- All IL's/Episode run categories are going to be removed
This is because DSDA exists. There's no logical reason for I
