Announced at QuakeCon 2024: Doom + Doom II re-released

I was debating on where to post this. I have not seen any Doom thread, despite the horror-theme of the site. Anyway, during QuakeCon 2024, Doom + Doom II was re-released as a shadow drop for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series consoles, Nintendo Switch, and PC with new bonuses included into the package...

At first glance it seems like a weird thing to do, as Doom runs on everything anyway.. but these are actually very good ports, moved onto Nightdives game engine but pretty much 1:1 with the Doom engine. It just means they run far better and smoother. A good way to play Doom on consoles... but I would still say stick to source ports on PC!

Truthfully, I don't really understand why they've done this.. It just feels like they're milking that cash cow!

Actually, this version runs really, really well. Like silky smooth 60fps with bumps to 65fps it feels. It's using the KEX Engine.
