SIGIL Full Walkthrough - PSX Doom Master Edition (Beta 4)
I've been following DOOM Master Edition development for a long time, but now they released Beta 4, adding new monsters to the game as well as new maps. So I decided to try these changes and share a bunch of walkthrough videos.
Beta 4 brings the full set of SIGIL levels. Looks awesome! At least, all the maps maintain their original layout, albeit simplified. They are not very tall. All those decorated backgrounds are replaced with plain walls.
I like how E5M2 (Sheol) utilizes the scrapped part of the map and filled it with monsters. It was certainly a good idea!
Now to negatives:
1) PSX provides more room for optimization than Sega 32X, but it still doesn't handle it well. You can notice, throughout my walkthrough the framerate often jumps from 30 to 10 and vice versa. In half the cases, I don't know what's the reason because I see the mappers tried to keep the visplane limit.
2) The maps are not optimized for PSX controls. There are secrets that require walking on ledges along the walls. The process of precise positioning can be quite tedious. Most floors also have lava, and if you fail, you lose health. It would be great if GEC could fix the Atari Jaguar's bug when the player bumps into wall edges and, to get unblock, has to walk back or in the opposite direction. Those ledges should be enlarged.
3) Maps sometimes abuse darkness. I know PSX Doom is famous for this, but it makes the play difficult. Especially, when you fight Nightmare monsters because they become hard to be spotted.
