Our type of “old school” is a very different breed than the type encountered in today’s “old school”. Yes, there are similarities; We too have upped the action, speed and gore, but not to the extreme lengths seen in the new Doom game. Our levels are built for exploration, progression and environmental puzzles. These are our main qualities. Phobos is closer to games like Half-Life or Dark Forces/Jedi Knight in spirit. Just like Classic Doom, these games are types of First Person Shooters that have all but vanished. We truly are a different kind of oldschool.

IT'S ALIVE! And it looks definitely gorgeous! This again proves to me that IdTech 4 is much better in terms of visuals than IdTech 5.
This is more a matter of design ingenuity than it is of engine quality. Eleven year old tech is inherently less capable when compared to more recently developed software, not to mention the fact that IdTech 4 struggles with large environments, which I can only assume is very restricting on the development side.
Still, props to the level designer for doing some fantastic work here. It looks awesome.
Thank you :)
Yes, making good-looking areas in Idtech4 is a struggle. It's a high-maintenance engine where if something is 5cm off, everything will fall apart.
Beautiful. I hope this mod will be compatible with one of the open-source D3 builds.
Good to see this is still being working on. It looks so much prettier than DooM 4!
I disagree, but that doesn't mean neither is bad or anything. This mod looks amazing and stunning in it's own right. And hopefully Doom 4 will have a better map designer than Doom 3 for the PC. So we can make better, more originally made content than Doom 4 for the Xbox.
A few quirks aside, DooM 3 is a fine game. Unless DooM 4 turns out better than expected, I would rather play DooM 3 over a bland product that seems like a desperate attempt to keep Id Software afloat.
You do realize that ID Software was bought out by Zenimax and no longer has any of the original members who worked on the first three Doom games right? ID Software is just another guise of Bethesda now.
Looks awesome :)
Great work!
Fantastic
Awesome work!
Seeing this is still is in the works makes me very happy, looks terrific.
Insane nice looking work!
