Modder ‘Jekyll_Grim_Payne’ has released a new version of his amazing Beautiful Doom mod for the original Doom games. This mod is basically the grandfather of other popular mods, like Brutal Doom, and was originally released back in 2008.
This mod aims to improve each and every single object in Doom, making them smoother, more impressive visually and having better sounds while retaining vanilla gameplay. As such, players will witness new smoke effects, casings, debris, hugely enhanced gibbing system, and smooth weapon animations.
In Beautiful Doom 6.2.0, Jekyll_Grim_Payne has added some new blood effects. Blood can now spray on the ceiling and slowly drip down in nicely-animated blood drops, it can form proper pools, and players can leave bloody footprints (similar to those found in Duke Nukem 3D). Furthermore, the code and behavior of blood has generally been improved and made more consistent, and decorative blood looks now much better.
Jekyll_Grim_Payne has also improved Arch-Vile’s resurrection, making it much cooler on gibbed monsters as gibs now don’t just disappear but move towards the place of resurrection.
Last but not least, the modder has added a new alternative attack to the BFG, and improved its main attack with more consistent lighting and green sparks.
Those interested can download the latest version of the Beautiful Doom mod from here. Do note that this mod is only compatible with GZDoom.
Enjoy!

An incredible waste of time, let the old DOOM go. Much better games to play at this time, instead of touching up an old game a majority of people don’t play.
Plenty of people still play DOOM, direct evidence is the still incredible amount of wads being worked on after all these years. And LOL at “much better games to play at this time”, exactly which FPS provides the fast gameplay and intricate level design of DOOM?
call of duty duh.. lul.
/s
90 people are plenty to you.
Only Brutal Doom has almost 700k downloads, so try again. Please, keep trying, it’s very amusing.
700k total? Yeah just to check out what the nerds were clamoring about, they quickly uninstalled it for sure.
“Oh… yeah? Well… I’m totally sure they didn’t like it!!11!!!”
Only 700k worldwide is pathetic.
For mod for an outdated, 25 years old, PC-only game? Yeah bud, hahaha.
Yeah, that’s right. Pathetic.
“90 people play it, hahaha, pathetic!! Oh, it’s actually 700.000? Er, it’s, uh… still pathetic!!!111!!11!”
Bro, quit typing and go back to playing 90’s DOOM in 4K 144fps.
You bet! I also just finished Wasteland (RPG from 1988) for the second time!
Sad fool, old games are for hipsters!
Nah, at least not yet. Hipsters are all over walking sims and indie platformers. Nowadays I don’t think anyone could put up to late 80s/early 90s UIs even if ‘it makes them look cool’, unless they really appreciate the mechanics behind that. And we all know hipsters are extremely superficial, so…
agreed, still a great time

Nice trolling, but there are people who might want to see why the game was such a big deal at the time. Playing vanilla is dumb when you can play the old game with better features and graphics.
If they want to see what the big deal is about, they can play the original. Playing the classic with better graphics and more features defeats the purpose of knowing exactly what was so great about it for the time. You have no logic.
Maybe when they play mods like Brutal Doom, but HD graphics and the like is ok in my book.
LOL look, I think he’s an idiot, but if you think the new Doom is bad, which, granted it’s simple for folks new to it, but for REAL players like us aka ME, it’s out of this world.
Have you ever actually challenged yourself on each map and on every difficulty? No, which is exactly the point beyond MP, your ignorance and lack of intelligence shows. I say both because I don’t want to call you names.
I can’t play the old one. And this is from a person who spent lots of hours in MP Doom on LAN for years.
Bro I’m afraid that you’ll suck me so good I’ll never want to let you go. I’ll have to cut off your head and put it in a bag to carry around with me whenever I need a good sucking.
For me….I just don’t compare the two. The old Doom is a classic, while the new one fits very well with today’s standards. I love ’em both….but ofcouse, original will forever be the best!
Public picture, private profile.
IQ super low.
And same with testosterone.
DOOM-not talk about Doom if you can’t handle it.
We get it, you’re weak.
Nice try, go back to the planning phase and try again.
Someone’s parents should go back to the corner store and plan a condom.
Based on your face and neck, you look super weak, so let me make it clear, don’t say meet me somewhere and think a hand job will do. 😉 I want that A..
Bend over then, you’ll bleed out internally faster than you can think.
Plan a condom? You’re not very smart bro.
Miles in the wrong direction, it’s not better than the new DOOM.

I have agree here.
Doom was one of the pioneers of first person shooters. Why disrespect the game?
This game will never die! I giggle every time I fire it up on this i7/1070 rig,and yes I play it several times a year going on 20 years now…
