MORE Wolfenstein 3D Graphics in Doom (and Vice-Versa)

[GermanPeter]

 

This is part 2 to a video I've made the other day about sprites, textures and sounds from Wolfenstein 3D that made their way into Doom, and vice-versa!
Would really love to hear what you guys think! Please also let me know if I missed anything, I really hope not :D

I've always had quite the suspicious hunch about B.J's face on the Super Nintendo version of Wolfenstein 3D's splash screen. It looked remarkably similar to Doomguy's side glancing sprites. Now I'm not sure if the face was also used as a basis for that particular splash screen, but after watching your video I'm quite positive that it couldn't be just a coincidence.

 

Great video as always, by the way!

I thought about it and they look extremely similar, but I'm pretty sure it's based off of a real drawing. Then again, so could Doomguy be.

The Wolf 3D SNES explosion graphics probably came before the Doom imp fireball explosion graphics. Until very late in development the imp projectiles looked completely different.

I figured the same, since that frame looks VERY out of place compared to the other ones in Doom. It's as if they only had the last two frames, thought "Hm, this looks a bit weird" and added the SNES one to the start. OR they began with the SNES one and added the others afterwards.

Actually, the Imp fireball explosion you showed are from the Cacodemon's fireballs, not the Imp's.

Great video otherwise.

Oops, yeah, I mixed them up. My bad.
