Hideous Destructor | Goldeneye Doom: Reloaded | No Failure Runs | Part 1
28I've been running GEDoom enough in HDest that I'm surprised I haven't made any themed skin packs for it. Like yeah, I kinda tried scrambling for one during the recorded run ages ago, but I mean something more like the real McCoy. Modelshots from the original game and everything. Fortunately, it's not too hard to find a good reason to start cobbling up one.
There have been some attempts in the past to recreate Goldeneye Doom using more modern GZD capabilities, but it's only with this particular one that anything actually playable comes out. I was hesitant on wiretearing this one, since it seems like there's only 3 maps out of the whole thing. The mod page's been kinda radio silent since 2020 without much updates.
That said, the fact that this mapset deviates from the original layouts a notch was the bit that encouraged me to go through with it. I don't know if it's done to work around limitations or if the dev just wants to have some creative liberties, but it's definitely preferable than just attempting to do a 1:1 recreation. Remixes like Doom the Way id Did for other classic games are extremely rare.
