We just got word from John Carmack himself that Doom Classic was recently submitted to Apple for approval.

According to our previous interview with Carmack, Doom Classic will stay faithful to the original with OpenGL rendered graphics along with slightly better sound quality and a "brand new finely crafted control system".

huh? i thought things like that belong firmly in mod territory... i mean, with opengl instead of their original raytracing engine looking up and down is pretty much a given, but are they also going to have 3d models instead of sprites? fog effects? dynamic lighting for projectiles? mods have been doing those for years... definitely not 'faithful to the original' except for the maps and gameplay mechanics....

No. That means that they now use OpenGL to render the exact same scenes as the old software renderer (which runs like poop on the iPhone)

still it would be nice if they at least enable looking up and down... its in true 3d now after all, not some rendering trick they used over 15 years ago...

runs like poop on the iPhone? which port were you running...

What happened to it? I hope was not one of those drop into water/concrete cases :p

Had to sell it. It's not very smart to wave around something that looks like an iPhone in the streets of Mexico. Got a nice and discreet ipod shuffle instead.

Finally i finished it on iPhone. Was definately a fun experiance replaying it and rmembering all those fun times i had :)

As for controls...at first i didnt like them, but once Carmack posted how to make them more wolf-like, i could finally enjoy it, after a bit of getting used to.

Anyway it's definately a worthy game :)

    • Instagram just got "a long-requested feature"

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Instagram just got "a long-requested feature" by Hamid Ganji Instagram has finally added a new feature that has been "long-requested" and it allows users to write an individual caption for each image or video in a carousel. The feature will start rolling out this week, and it’ll be available to all users. Previously, Instagram only allowed a single caption for all regular posts and carousels. This made it harder for content creators to describe every scene in a carousel and often forced them to write longer captions. However, with this new feature, every slide in a carousel can have its own caption, which can be viewed by swiping left or right. To use the feature, when writing a caption for your post, select “Multiple captions” from the dropdown menu in the caption area. You can then write unique captions for each slide. By swiping through the carousel and selecting individual slides, a dedicated space for writing captions will appear. Instagram says the feature will help audiences get the right context at the right moment. The ability to assign a unique caption to each slide in a carousel could be particularly useful for content creators and brands on the platform. Instagram says the feature will begin rolling out this week. The new feature appears to have been well received by Instagram users, many of whom have been requesting it for a long time. However, users are now asking for additional features, such as the ability to add new slides to a carousel after it has been published. Instagram has been introducing several useful features lately, but users who want access to additional tools and perks can subscribe to the platform’s Instagram Plus offering. Priced at $3.99 per month, Instagram Plus includes exclusive features such as 48-hour Stories, more detailed post analytics, and the ability to tailor posts or Stories to specific audiences. The subscription includes 11 new features in total.

      "Learning" and "starting" are fine uses of AI. The moment that crap falls into the final game? Lost a sale from me.

      Don't worry, the majority of its members still suffer from heavy TDS, so these White House simping posts will continue being few and far between.
    • This 4K webcam from Acer is now only $59.99

      By termite · Posted

      If you're using a webcam for Zoom calls, then any 720p or 1080p cam will do. If on the other hand you want high quality video for streaming or recording, then consider using a DSLR or mirrorless camera, because 99% of 4k webcams will have a tough time achieving same results.
