Doom's 20th anniversary coming up, what should we do to celebrate?

That's a pony? I pegged him for some kind of skunk furry.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

Back on-topic here, another idea I had is the community doing a big thank you video for id Software, where everyone just films a short clip thanking id for 20 years of Doom, then we combine them all-together along with gameplay of various wads and show them just what we have done with their game since release.

That would make a long-standing memorial to ID and I think it's worth a try

:O!!! I like that idea!

[IdeIdoom]

Do Weapon Mods include? If so, I already have 1 idea.

[Guardsoul]

Some Russian Overkill maybe? :P

[IdeIdoom]

Damn it, you stole my idea.

[Impact]

Will it be like cutscenes to each member of the community that says a few words and has video footage of work they've done, plus some experiences on doom and with fellow players etc? What's your angle?

[Mr.Man]

Russian overkill? isnt that zdoom only?
unless i tried it on zdoom, and it didnt work that time, too lazy to remember...

I like that. I'd be down with it.

[darkstar64]

Anyways, we need to decide what wads to showcase in such a video. It it were me, I'd select:

Scythe 2
Alien Vendetta
Megaman 8-Bit DM
GvH
Memento Mori
UAC Military Nightmare (To generate some lols)
Halo Doom (To show off GZDoom)
Zdoom Wars
Samsara
cchest series
and any others you can think of!

And yes, other mods like new weapons and monsters would also be nice to show off.

Subtract Brutal Doom and MM8BDM, for two reasons. I think we shouldn't still use Brutal Doom in a celebration after the whole Sgt. Mark Suicide Bag fiasco, and two, MM8BDM is like a whole other place compared to Doom and such. Otherwise, you made good choices. (Abeit some getting a tad stale in my opinion.)

[Catastrophe]

You need to build it up, from one wad era to another.

I agree, seeing a 20 year timeline and how wads have progressed since then. I'd love to suggest more wads, but I didn't play any Doom mods until 2005 so I did miss out on years of content.

[Yellowtail]

Possible that you could do maybe 30-120 seconds of each year's worth of gameplay throughout the video? Don't want to make it too long of a video. Then again, 40 minutes is kinda stretching it.

Like, you'd get some footage from 1993 and throughout the years the games just get more and more impressive and whatnot. Not exactly sure what could be put in for each year, though, but I wouldn't recommend GvH, due to it not really being entirely Doom related. Samsara on the other hand fits a little better, but not entirely.

[Slim]

I agree, let's not make it a 50 year showcase. We gotta keep it to the point a bit, and hit the best throughout the years.

[Zakken]

There was a "20 Years of Doom" coop (?) project on the works, I wonder where that went?

[Samurai]

I like the idea of playing something like ultimate doom, something with a classic feel i think would be the best way to go. Only problem with doing a nostaligic coop wad with what i'm guessing could be 30+ players would be complete chaos. Someone said maybe make a couple of servers, not sure how that would work though ... maybe do 1 serv with ultimate doom, another with doom 2 or something

Also, I'm pretty sure that iD is aware of Brutal Doom's existence. We should showcase some lesser-known mods, not just the ones that get all the attention everyday anyways.

[Mr.Man]

Alien vendetta is old ass
And not being mr.dictator, but dont blame brutal doom if the maker fucks up. The wad itself is a really nice thing, but opinnions stay opinnions...
I would do halo doom, with some nice maps, if not included.

[SyKoTiC]

Stick to the original doom stuff, as nice as halo doom is. We should wow him, but not WOW him that much. Maybe some nice opengl based wads or something.
