[QUOTE="Admin, post: 64342, member: 1"] QuakeCon 2024 officially starts today, and ahead of the convention, which typically features major news and announcements from various ZeniMax Media IPs, a new listing reveals that among the announcements incoming will be enhanced remasters of the first two Doom games. In [URL='https://store.steampowered.com/app/2280/DOOM__DOOM_II/']a new Steam listing[/URL] (spotted by X/Twitter user [URL='https://x.com/wario64/status/1821578978462699748?s=46']@Wario64[/URL]), DOOM + DOOM 2 is a new compilation that will provide definitive, newly enhanced versions of the first two DOOM games. This includes both games running on the KEX Engine, a proprietary game engine that was also used in several re-releases of other classic shooters, including DOOM 64 (2020), Quake (2021), and Quake 2 (2023). You can see the official trailer below. Some new enhancements coming to DOOM + DOOM 2 include online, cross-platform deathmatch, and co-op support for up to 16 players. Additionally, the re-release will include upgraded visuals, support for modern controllers, and a weapon carousel, allowing for faster weapon switching. A new Deathmatch map pack, consisting of 25 new maps, will also be included. The listing notes that those who purchase the compilation will not only receive both games but also additional content. Most notably, Legacy of Rust, a brand-new episode for DOOM 2, was co-developed by id Software, Nightdive Studios, and MachineGames. When it's released, DOOM + DOOM 2 will be perhaps the most comprehensive version of the venerable shooters to date. The series has received multiple reissues and updates over the years and retains a dedicated fanbase to this day.
