A total conversion (TC) is a mod that replaces all or almost all of the resources used within the original game. I have chosen to omit total conversion which aimed to accurately imitate existing video games.

I think you missed Ascension. From the same authors who made Inquisitor 2 I believe, but bigger and better in all regards (all but performance alas). A real journey, a complete game with free roam, lots of quests, character progression and etc.
I could never quite understand why Ascension was a Doom 2 mod, when Hexen would have been more productive to recycle stuff, Hexen 2 even.
Where is hdoom?😁
@@cybergothika6906 It's a gzdoom mod, and the reason for using zdoom is pretty obvious
@@Nofruit what you said doesn't answer it, and actually rewinds it back in a dumber way. Hexen doesn't need it, the vanilla engine worked fine. Also Zdoom can still be used on Hexen and Hexen 2 doesn't need it. it was just an honest question, don't need to get all cocky. Still is a choice from the modder, that may answers it much better than you did.
@@cybergothika6906 Huh? I'm not acting cocky. I just think it's obvious. Hexen might be "fine" but gzdoom is a far more capable engine.
I love how little of grezzo 2 had to be shown to make it fit in this video
Proud to be Italian
@@crispo3258 fuck grezzo 2
@@kkonti1113 why bro? I mean if you're religious or easily offended by black humor just don't play there are like 20 disclaimers on the site and in the game
@@crispo3258 because you can't release a Doom mod/TC and ask for money like it was a standalone game. Can you play Grezzodue with GZDoom or other sourceports? No. that's bullshit and a blatant lack of respect to the whole community
@@kkonti1113 bro what are you talking about the game is free but it's not playable with gzdomm and?

Bro you are god
Observing this timeline, you can really see that around 2014-ish is when DOOM TCs shed most of what made them DOOM and turned them completely into their own thing while also significantly increasing what was possible on the humble little engine.
So many good showcases here.
Zdoom really took off in popularity around that time. Combined with sgtmark4s surge in popularity with brutal doom, there was quite a bit of development going on.
wasnt that the time that people switched to opengl gzdoom than zdoom?
@@arkgaharandan5881 yeah, zdoom 2.5 I think is when opengl support happened
2014 was basically when TCs stopped being "let's change Doom into something else" and became "let's use a well-known open engine to build something new from scratch".
The funny thing is, many of the crazy features in these mods existed in ZDoom since like 2004. It just took a while for people to realise their potential!
I think its really amazing that after 29 years after DOOM 2 was released, people still make mods for the game that turns it into a completely different experience. The DOOM community has a lot of very talented people in it, and i cant wait to see what other things people can do with the engine.
And how amazing that the doom engine existed before the ps1 and with that same hardware we now have ps2 like graphics
it looks like 2019-2021 the Doom modding community went ballistic with content.
Covid got people creating
Same with gothic. also a legendary old game. Makes me cry tears of happiness
@@SEDATEDSlothRecords6083 Gothic got a ton of mods? Didn't even know that. Do you have any recommendations? I'd kind of like to replay Gothic and this seems like a good excuse hehe.
@@SMJSmoK Oh yeah. A lot of good ones. But I guess the most are German/polish/Russian. Some in English ofc. I usually found them on worldofgothic. But idk about good mods with English translations. I guess Archolos is one of the current master projects which have an english Translation . It's a polish mod and one of the most ambitious of all times
Huh. Wonder what happened around that time that got people so interested in DOOM again.
Doom modders have so much talent it's terrifying.
Now show a video of all the doomlike retro shooters ( and build engine likes and quake likes too )
Can't wait to play all of these :P
Your work here deserves way more views than this
Thanks for giving Memoirs Of Magic a shout, its one of my all time favorites
Great list of mods and campaigns here! Would have loved to see Golden Souls, and since partial conversions were included, “All Hell is Breaking Loose” and “Osiris”, two old classics, would have been at home in this vid too. Maybe I need to make Ray Mohawk/Rowdy Rudy have even tougher weapons on their next missions too, since they didn’t make it in :)
Golden souls 1 was fantastic
Also maybe "massmouth" wads.
RTC-3057 was also quite an achievement when it was released
@@ravick007 School Doom 2 pupils of the cyberdemon
@@JakZie Shame that RTC-3057 never became a series as originally intended, I remember enjoying it heaps.
1:50 - i actually played this thing back in 2008-9, way before i ever touched any Doom game (i finished main campaign of D1 in november of 2021), and i think i still have it on my hard drive somewhere.
I guess i got it from software DVD of one famous russian gaming magazine (i'm not russian, btw) called "Igromania" ("Игромания", eng: "Game-Mania") that was really hard to get in my country, especially in towns without rail-roads. In the 2nd half of 2000s they had 2 DVDs inside with those magazines - one DVD was filled with video reviews, gaming news, interviews and trailers (way before CZcams popularity, and before anyone in my country could afford an ok internet connection), and the other DVD had drivers, software, various game mods, mini games (such as this Doom Mega-Man), wallpapers, and etc.
Thats hella interesting
No doubt a lot of doom games were included in magazine DVD's, SRB2 must have been a popular addition
Around my parts, I remember that some mods of games used to get distributed with magazine discs back maybe 20 years ago. Generally it was the larger sized ones which would be too time consuming and expensive for most people to download at the time, like one for Morrowind which was named Wizard's Island. That one was gigantic, like 9gb, which I think was almost unheard of at the time, so most people waited for a magazine disc release.
Doom mods though were pretty small, so even if it was something which was really big at like 50mb or something, people would be ok with downloading that. Beyond that, people would put mods and stuff on discs and portable hard drives to go share with friends and family on the countryside, where internet may still have been really limited in those days.
hdoom where
ew
Technically, not a total conversion.
@@roadkill_52fake doom gooners leave the hall
@cattycatterson6368 leave with him you coomer
Not a total conversion, you silly
CZcams algorithms do work sometimes! This was a fantastic compilation and I took note of some of the cuter pixel art style TCs. Thanks for showing so much content!
The music makes me feel like I'm clothes shopping.
it turned out professionally
So... many... Alien(s)... mods...
Trench Foot - quite amazing and I hope they manage to made the full version soon.
Check their page, they've been making big moves to get it completed. I'm just as excited.
thanks for this, ive been needing a list of TC's to play with chocolate doom and youve done it here!
A LOT of these won't work in Chocolate Doom, you'll have to use GZDoom.
@@danielletaylor9201 yeah i know this, im only looking for vanilla compatible mods like rekkr and batman doom. lately ive been going back to my old DOS days and chocolate doom has helped me a lot in that pursuit.
@@LowEndPCGamer100 ah, I misunderstood what you said. Have fun~
I know this was 2 months ago.. but the “big vanilla wad pack” has a ton of old DOS compat wads, including TCs. Might be useful for you!
Excellent video mate. It's amazing this community is still going strong, thanks for the introductions!
Every year, there's always someone who finds a way to break the limits of Doom 2's engine
except no one really uses Doom 2's engine these days
Most original early total conversion of the game was Sonic Robo Blast 2. The world would never be the same.
Particularly after the mascot-kart-total-conversion mod of that mod called Sonic Robo Kart 2. We've reached the point that successful TCs of the Doom engine are spawning their own TCs.
I really needed twice the amount of time you went through each conversion. My mind is blown!
1:06 lmao that one is Chilean and the weird colorful texture is a fast food ad lol
Damn, so many good projects in there! ^^
Nice video!
It's impressive to realise how Doom is still actual game after 29 years thanks to it's simplicity in making mods and open source. I feel like you can make Doom mods about anything, and it's like making a good fanfiction. Some people maded works of art with game's engine.
check out total chaos for example. completely 3D doom 2 mod. you wouldnt say its a doom 2 mod if you would see better gameplay of it.
Great video! Found some cool things I had no idea existed.
Good Video!!!
fake kacpir
@@majnkrafcikers jak to 😳😳😳😳😳
@@majnkrafcikers this is not fake kacpir
@@bako35YT how
There are so many good mods that it's impossible to include all of them in one video, Embers Of Armageddon is my favorite
mock2 is my favorite
Very nice recopilation, thanks for share it !
Gites filmik!
Prędzej czy później nadrobię przynajmniej kilka z tych total conversion mods, bo niektóre z nich wyglądają naprawdę interesująco
"Golden souls" is a super Mario inspired modification you should try.
It's incredible how some of these TC are still made in the same engine of Doom. Granted, they use the GZDoom version which removes some limits, but it's still the IDTech 1 at its core. Amazing. Also great list of must play mods.
What about Doom Legacy (the port SRB2 uses)
there are vanilla ones too
Great compilation. Thanks for making it!
This video reminded me a lot of Marveller
I hope you keep doing some cool lists like this
Very excited to play all these chronologically, so much cool free stuff to enjoy with relatively low hardware requirements. :)
There is so much gaming content. It's basically impossible to see more than a few percent of it. I played doom mods for the last few years as pretty much my only game and I still haven't played almost all of these. Just one large map is an evenings play session haha. It's insane the amount of choice we have.
I had no idea any of this existed. Wow. Doom is one of my all time favourite games and these look ace. Well done to all the creators.
Zanzan was really impressive
Paranoid too
I know nothing about making any mods or conversions, but DAMN, the talent is amazing! I never knew you could make 2d and 3d platformers out of doom! I mean, the sonic games look better than some of the official released content..... makes me sooo happy to be a pc gamer!
Well, you can't with stock doom (unless you count arbitrary code execution bugs which DO exist in the original game; you can theoretically do anything with that), but the modern ports add a lot of features
Downloading each of these I haven't played
Abysm would have been a worthy mention. Both are pretty incredible.
0:20 That Zombie was just shmovin'. No need to shoot him.
wow, so many great looking total conversions!! imma get busy. thanks a bunch!
Pinochestein 3D! FUCK YEAH!
Que genial. Me sorprendio el pinochestein porque soy de Chile y entendi la referencia jajajaja
Y yo que creí que era un homenaje a Pinocho.
Great video man.
Boy we've come a long way now
The author of BrutalDoom made an excellent and technically impressive TC mod set in Vietnam war (referring to the Build engine game Nam).
The DOOM modding SJWs like to pretend SGTMarkIV doesn't exist, despite him singlehandedly bringing the DOOM modding scene back into the forefront.
There are like 10 sonic mods and no mention of SgtMark and Brutal Doom.
nice video mr.Nofruit!
and the best one of all of them is the Ashes 2063. It has a full campaign of 12+ hours playtime, a solid story, and a great soundtrack
Watching all these innovative creators taking an engine from 1993 and not only making it their own, but taking it to levels no one thought possible (Even the creators of the engine itself) is amazing.
I'm 39, I remember when DOOM came in shareware floppy discs. Some people back then only ever played Knee Deep In The Dead, because that is all they had access to. (Myself included for a long time.)
Being able to play games that STILL use this engine, but are taking it to new heights is a fucking blast. DOOM is a game I have been playing since I was a kid, and thanks to all these magnificent creators, I can still, after all these years, play brand new games based in the same engine - but on fucking steroids!
Long live this venerable, and unstoppable engine! Long live classic DOOM! And all those that use it as a template for their creations!
Holy shit these are amazing! I can't believe I barely ever heard about any of these through the years!
Dude, I could make an entire Mr icarus channel only using this video as source lol fantastic compilation!!!
Now I have to go download the Zombies ate my Neighbours mod.
total chaos = Top best doom conversion
Definitely a contender for sheer design quality, and it's a masterfully-built survival horror in its own right, but I think there's been others that I've enjoyed more. That's all personal preference though.
3:53 what a little screentime for the best looking mod out there
PINOCHESTEIN3D, that is beauty.
I didn't see Doom 64: Absolution but that was an incredible TC for its time.
Amazing vid!!! I think you missed Siren though....definitely one for the list :)
Great vid. Would be cool to see someone play all these ;-)
i can imagine how much bathesda and microsoft love this, thank you mr. carmack
Interesting video showcasing the evolution of TCs to now where it's virtually limitless to what you can do with the engine.
Is there an updated video for 2023? ;)
I never got so many good recommendations.
Things are lookin NICE
There's one you probably missed and mine's. Hotline UAC and his official chapter called : Number Of The Beast.
For now the status is still in early access.
Btw nice list you made
Thanks for this video ! Learned about many more TC mods now :)
Could you tell us what song you used in this video ? thank you
I had no idea those Sonic games were Doom conversions. Amazing!
I watched this twice because it's that good.
God damned Ashes 2063 and Afterglow, how many impressions he gave in those years...
So they did show grezzo 2, but not Brutal Doom? 🤨
Brutal Doom is a gameplay mod, not a tc
Brutal doom is not a total conversion mod, it just an enhanced mod that make doom look more gorier and realistic.
@@WarmestProduct oh, well thanks for clearing that.
PARADISE GOT A MENTION! HELL YEAH!
a jakie sa wasze ulubione mody TC do Dooma 2? napiszcie w komentarzu i zostawcie lajka B )
Nie jest tego wiele ale najlepszy pozostaje dla mnie Ashes - oba epizody z dodatkiem DMW.
Każdy megamod z elemetnami RPG, głównie trylogia Inquisitor + Ascension i obie części Abysm z dodatkiem Pharaoh
Lubię też mody z pukawkami np, z Chasm The Rift czy Painkillera albo Ashes ale niestety jest problem ze znalezieniem map packów na których da się z nimi grać...
Golden souls
srb2kart
Ashes 2063/Afterglow is my favorite shooter ever and the most immersed I've ever been.
Very awesome man.
Operation Arctic Wolf is my favorite of the entire showcase. Loved playing it.
I apparently have a lot more of these to play than I thought.... Can't complain about too many games
So many of these could be released as commercial games it's crazy
Nice vid man time to subscribe
Didn't expect Grezzo 2 to be on here, but I appreciate that. :P
Total Chaos was the one mod that blew my mind away.
I've played the Iron Assault TC and lemme just say that the Gorgon is my favorite Mech in the current build, especially when you use both the Saw and the Spike melee weapons and give it Level 3 Armor.
Even on Bogus difficulty, with proper dodging, that thing just dominates the battlefield.
Lycanthorn is such a fucking banger man. Wish it were longer
the doom engine is still amazing
The 2.5d Era of first person shooters was quite interesting.
Lovely music
I hope for a next video including Death Foretold and Kar En Tuk. QCDE was pretty neat!
stuff like Operation Echo, SRB2K, and The Forestale prove just how insanely versatile the doom engine can be at times
gzdoom =/= doom engine
It's honestly impressive to see that a lot of these were built with the foundation of a game from 1994
I lost count of the number of times I said “you’ve gotta be taking the piss now”
ive been playing old games more than new ones lately lol
I love how there are so many comments pointing to stuff not in the video.. such a prolific modding community
If you had told me in 1994 that someone would use DOOM to make a Sonic kart racer, I would never have believed you.
great list of Doom 2 mods
also you missed Ratchet and Clank : Hot and Bothered, but it's not a total conversion, just UI, weapons and a skin of doomguy changed to Ratchet with Clank on his back, but as a RnC fanboy, it's worth taking a look!
The base engine with GZDoom modification is incredible! God!
Doom 2 and a shit ton of mods is all I need for my gaming needs.
I can't rate this video high enough. Doom's community is the best. Great compilation
Very interesting.
I'm disappointed (and surprised) that nobody (not yet at least) has made a Jurassic Park TC Mod for Doom.
now that i think about it your fighting.
@@bananafone1414 ...
What?
The sonic games are actually mindblowing. Kart racing in doom? Just wow
So many good Mods for DooM. I'm very surprised.
my favourite DOOM campaign conversions are Siren , Brutal Doom and Wolf 3D as well as Ashes 2063. i discovered that game thanks to the a video of a guy playing indie games , he played its upcoming sequel, Afterglow and i was amazed by the details of these games and now it make me want to play the first episode!
That Sonic TC seems like a better game than most official 3D Sonic games.
It is, and it has a killer ost and modding scene
Most 3D Sonic games are actually better than most 2D ones.
I grew up playing Sonic Robo Blast 2, but the last few updates completely ruined everything from the graphics to the music by desperately trying to emulate Sonic Mania, the one most 3D games are definitely better than. What they did to Greenflower act 2 musically should be classified as a crime.
Versions before the current ones are about on par with best of official 3D Sonic games, but once they added slopes to be like the classics it was all over, for me anyway. I can't stand to play the new versions, not without turning off the arranged soundtrack anyway.
Also, if you think Sonic 06 is a bad game try playing the recently released PC port, which while fixing the bugs and the control quirks leaves the original level design intact, proving that the problems people had weren't with game design like they say but with the game being unpolished due to deadlines, and it was actually shaping up to be great if it wasn't forced to release in 2006. That fan port beats Robo Blast easily in all but music, at least from the old versions of the mod. Too bad it makes my PC melt.
With 06, the most hated one, not actually being bad, not worse than Bethesda games or Cyberpunk 2077 which are still very popular despite their unpolished nature, it casts into question what other less hated Sonic games have gotten their bad rep unfairly, hmm???
