What’s makes you think doom 64 is the best? I beat it again about 3 years ago and while it’s miles ahead of doom 3 I still prefer ultimate doom or doom II.
I was wondering if anyone got a chance to play doom 64 on pc or a modern console yet? I think doom is best on pc and I am most likely going to buy it on steam unless it’s a crappy port.
Doom 64 has the best level design, sound effects, graphics, and atmosphere of any of the classic Dooms. There are zero bad maps and I feel like the difficulty ramps up at a reasonable pace. It's more difficult on average than Doom or Doom II, but there are no retarded-hard maps like E4M2 or E4M6 from Ultimate Doom (except Hectic, which is a secret map). And there are no terrible maps in Doom 64, while Doom II has a handful of stinkers. I won't say the soundtrack is "better" than the other Doom games because they all have awesome soundtracks, but the ambient music really contributes to the atmosphere in the game.
Also there are actual gameplay advancements for the first time since Doom II. Weapons have knockback, the super shotgun reloads faster, there's a brand new weapon (the Unmaker), it allows infighting between Hell Knights and Barons of Hell, Lost Souls are smarter and faster but easier to kill, there are dynamic features in the levels like projectile booby traps, and more advanced level geometry.
The only thing it's missing is a few of the enemies (chaingunner, revenant, archvile, spider mastermind), but it does include nightmare imps and the mother demon which none of the other games have.
The port itself is rock solid on all platforms. Runs on great shitty PC hardware and Switch. And it comes with a brand new epilogue episode (7 maps) that bridges the story between the end of Doom 64 and the start of Doom 2016.
