Have you ever wondered what the classic Doom games would look like in a modern-day engine? Well, time to get a glimpse of such a thing. EvilReFlex has shared the following video in which he attempts to recreate the first Doom game in Unreal Engine 4.
Right now, this Doom Remake in Unreal Engine 4 is a proof of concept project. As such, don’t expect much from it in its current state. Now the good news here is that EvilReFlex attempts to retain the game’s original art 2D style, something that most Doom fans will appreciate.
From what we can see, EvilReFlex has ported some of the game’s textures and sprites. The player can also shoot enemies (though there is no blood effects), and the enemies can move around. Moreover, we can clearly see Unreal Engine 4’s improved lighting effects.
It will be interesting to see whether EvilReFlex will continue working on this unofficial remake or not. There is a lot of potential here for a great Doom game. Obviously the creator needs to further tweak the animations, and add all the missing effects/enemies/textures. Furthermore, it will be interesting to see whether he can enable any native Ray Tracing effects.
We’ll be sure to keep an eye on this project. Until we have more details or videos to share, enjoy the following video!

Tell that “Someone” that we don’t care.
Ugg, using the original 2D sprites in a full 3D engine? Yeah, really not interested.
Go play the VR version of original Doom instead, it is much more interesting to play and better graphically.
All comments below are clearly retarded. ?
This is a great idea, and something like Gzdoom launcher with the lighting of UE4 would be really cool.
If he could make it compatible with incredible mods like the “The Ultimate Doom II – Doom II levels Remake”, this would be the next best thing.
Yeah, way to miss the point…
Doom 2 with the modding capability of UE4 is something I’m looking for…
At least he is not using the usual retina burning bloom…
lauren southern viewer calling someone retarded, oh the irony.
Her documentaries about the great replacement in Europe or the murders in South Africa are not exactly retarded, though. Unless you’re in denial and support massive murders of farmers in South Africa? Tell us more about your fascist opinions.
you mean documentaries which she goes to multicultural parts of paris on purpose and then complains there are not enough white people and women who wear their hair in french braids? she’s a canadian with south european dna who goes around defending “whites” as if all people with light skin tone are related and supposed to stick together and you’re here calling me fascist for some reason.
lol Is that how you try to manipulate people around you, claiming that everybody who disagrees with you is a white supremacist? ha ha It’s funny because she even made a video about you, people who thinks that everything is about white supremacy.
Yeaaaaah NO. Her videos are actually more about the dangers of islamism in Europe, extremist feminism, the collapse and replacement of European culture, suicidal liberal economic choices, etc.
nobody claimed anything, i said she complains about not enough whites being in multicultural parts of paris and not seeing enough french braids. she can’t be white supremacist in my eyes because she and other south europeans aren’t white to me, they try hard to be but they’re not “white” themselves, so that’s that.
“danger of islamism”
remind me, why is her focus on “white” issues specifically? why not check out dangers of evangelism? why isn’t she covering human trafficking in africa but goes to south africa to defend “white” farmers? am i seeing a pattern here?
also it’s funny how she claims to make videos about “suicidal liberal economic choices” while she said herself that she doesn’t know anything about economics which she really really doesn’t.
these absolute clueless morons p*ss and du*p everywhere and you’re literally there a second later to eat it, just pathetic.
“i’m not racist or anything but if you check out my private life and media that i follow, you’ll question my sanity”
average conservative logic.
what’s european culture? is that a new term?
That’s rich, coming from someone who up-votes child-raping, genocidal jihadists. You know nothing about either Conservatism or logic.
Absolutely correct
Concept sounded cool, but based on that video there’s older mods that look much better. Perhaps updating the textures will help.
I mean… why?
2d sprites? What’s the point?
Instead, try same design but with modern rendering.
OG Doom with 3D models is a mistake tho…
This should stop.
It looks the same sh*t, what’s the point?
Looking good. If it takes original WADs, it would be a much better looking way to play than anything I’ve seen before.
I don’t get it…this is like Quake RX but way less impressive and out of place.
yeah that Quake 2 RTX thing? yeah. but as you know, there’s already a sourceport of Doom that implements a lot of advanced dynamic lighting features to the game that we all know and use. and this will just use an excessive amount of resources to play something we can already play, with very similar output.
this was more just a test of the creators design skills i suppose. it stinks these corny mods get a lot of attention, over amazing WADs or levels for the old idsoftware games.
Wow clickbait. I thought it was Doom 1 HD total remake.
