Doom 64 is one of my favorite Doom games of all time. Thus, I’m happy to report that Doom 2 just got a brand new mod that is heavily inspired by it, called DBP64: The Vast Silence.
As its creator claimed, The Vast Silence is a Doom 64-themed episode for Doom 2 designed for limit removing source ports made by various members of Doomer Boards.
Apparently, this mod came out in February 2024. In other words, it passed under my radar, and shame on all of you for not informing me. So, better late than ever, I guess.
Those interested can go ahead and download the mod from this link. At the end of the article, you can also find a video from it. This video showcases its first level. Thus, it can give you a small idea of what’s in store for you.
Since Doom 2 received this amazing Path Tracing Mod, I kind of wonder whether it will be possible to have Doom 64 with Path Tracing. Doom 64 has officially come out on PC. So, in theory, this should be possible.
Doom 64 was a horror game with lots of action. The game had numerous dark levels, so Path Tracing should do wonders for it. Not only that but the new 2D sprites should make the path-traced version feel less retro-ish.
And that is that. If you are looking for other cool mods for Doom, I suggest getting Voxel Doom. Then we have Aliens Eradication TC which is a must-have mod for all our Aliens fans. Brutal Doom: Black Edition is a mod that attempts to bring Doom 3’s art style to the game. And finally, you can download Bloom (which is a crossover between Blood and Doom).
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
