D64 was a separate development instead of direct port, it's got its own set of maps, darker graphics and soundtrack, lacks chaingunners, revenants and arch-viles, adds ghost imps, new boss, new gun.
Going to buy just the basic version of Eternal, because not interested in all preorder stuff incl. D64.
Some people even treat it as kind of a true sequel to Doom 2 as opposed to Doom 3.
My copy of Doom arrived early!
...but i'm still having to travel into the office, so no doom for me
Opted to put my gun in the centre just like old Doom!
Eternal really asks you to play on a harder difficulty. Hurt me plenty is just way too easy! Started on Ultra Violence.

Battlemode sucks. I hate there's achievements tied to it too.
Okay, I'm playing Doom 64 and I'm on the third level, Main Engineering, and the music makes prominent use of a sample that's used heavily in Closer (Precursor).
Makes me wonder what the origin of that sample is!
Okay, back to Doom 64.
Yeah i could have sworn i recognized a sample in there while i was playing as well only i thought it might have been something from the opening few seconds of Sin.
EDIT: There very well could be more than one, I'm not sure that i picked up on the one from Closer Precursor so maybe the one i heard is in a later level? Hmm let us know if you hear any more!

Of course the Doom 64 soundtrack is 3 hours and 43 minutes...
Aubrey Hodges did the music and sound design; based on how he was doing other things at the time I'd guess this is an "alert" or "death" SFX used for one of the creatures in Doom (manipulated, of course). Hell, maybe it's the door opening.
Who wants to sift through thousands of SFX?
I've never played Doom 64..I always thought it looked so bland and dull and more like the first Quake game than a Doom game.
...but for $5, I might just pick it up on the Switch tomorrow.
I initially didn't like Doom 64 after I downloaded it...but man, I'm hooked now. fun! figuring out the levels can be kind of annoying but that's what makes it addicting at the same time. I'm hooked. It's perfect on the Switch Lite.
after I beat it, I'll download Doom 3, which I've also never played. then I'll move on to the Turok series.
I agree. stuck on one level though. can't get the yellow key! it's stuck behind a cage and on a block that goes up and down. can't figure out the puzzle lol. still really enjoying it though.
I’m enjoying this way more than I expected! I bought animal crossing, Nioh 2 and this and so far I’m enjoying this by far the most. Maybe it will change but I thought Nioh 2 was going to be the game that sucked my life away but it’s this one by a big margin. Highly recommended
The "fun" levels in D64 = rip me.
I told myself I was done buying PS4 games for the year.
And then I saw Doom Eternal was on sale. So I bought it.
And I love it.
I suck at it, for sure. I am not good at modern FPS (the latest FPS I played besides Doom 2016 was Resistance from the early PS3 days) . I had Doom 2016 on the Switch Lite and didn't really give it a chance, it just wasn't clicking with me. Played maybe an hour or two of it. I enjoyed Doom 64 on the Switch because it felt closer to the old school Doom I grew up with.
But I am loving this game!!
After getting 100% in Rise of the Tomb Raider, my first and only game to ever get 100% (besides Castlevania Symphony of the Night as a kid) , I told myself I'm never going nuts for collectibles and side items again. It drives me crazy lol. It is fun trying to find it though.
Just encountered the Pinkies for the first time. man they are a pain in this game compared to the old game!
I don't (yet) have a Switch, but still I couldn't resist this:

I love the original Doom games, and Doom 2016. But the "lore" they've introduced in Eternal and the DLCs is so weird and bad and unnecessary.
Doom 3 on VR and I’ve JUST received my PS5 camera adapter. It’s like the fates are telling me something
