Somebody Recreated DOOM Eternal In Labo Garage VR, And It's Really Something

And this, my friends, is why I'm super looking forward to Game Builder

Looks pretty good actually for such a limited building tool

It was always really sad that you couldn't share your creations in LABO, so that's probably the biggest improvement of Game Builder Garage. I will have to try this out, once they get it running on there.

It's been awhile since I played with my Labo VR set but this doesn't seem much different from what was already in there. I'm sure they put a lot of effort into the weapons but if the article didn't have "Doom" in the title and just wrote "Look at what somebody made in Labo VR" would anybody think "OMG it's Doom!"? Well maybe some people who never played with the Labo VR bazooka before. That shotgun style gun mechanic is a lot of fun.

Nintendo not letting people share this stuff is really freaking annoying though. 😝

panic button really went ham with the next doom port, looks amazing

@stinky_t Same Just imagine the amazing things people WILL make with it.

“or did it get ripped and torn long ago?“

I see what you did there 😂

Neat! I always wanted to make something in labo garage, but found myself far too limited to make anything large. Mostly because of the parts limit. I look forward to playing this on Game Builder Garage.

This looks more like a Serious Sam Lite, lol, and Super Freaking Cool

Now THIS is truly what shows Nintendo's capabilities in their innovative side. I can imagine schools beginning to look towards this (more than they already have) to teach basic computer science.

Either Nintendo or id Software needs to hire this person. They've got some serious programming chops (and while I know this isn't actual coding, the concept is still the same).

I love it. After that video plays, someone remade a Nerf Rival gun too in LABO VR Garage. Ahh, the Artemis<3, almost too much power for inside a home. For ages 14+, $19.99.

@rjejr Well, the creator appears to have composed a Labo version of The Only Thing They Fear is You, Doom Eternal's main theme, so, yeah, I would have thought it was Doom even without any other context.

This is beyond awesome! I wanna shake this man's hand so hard! 😂

I would be more excited for this if I didn’t recently find out that the only way to share levels was with codes. No level finder like SMM or SMM2.

@rjejr for once I gotta say that it sounds like a stretch but it isn't, as the guns are the Combat Shotgun, Plasma Rifle, Heavy Cannon and Chaingun from Eternal, but probably what gives it away the most is the shoulder-mounted cannon for the grenades.

Man they really had to downgrade doom eternal to get it on switch huh?

Jks

That is so cool. I ought to have another go with my Labo VR sometime.

Im releasing cyberpunk 2077 on Gamebuilder Garage this july.

Will look to see if i can make something with a mechwarrior vibe. Does it let you build with blocks for the characters? Or are they just basic presets. Might just use Unity instead.

I love it! Very nicely done

@JuiceMan_V Does that matter?

@clvr I did like the canon, that was new. But I haven't played Eternal yet, so to me it just looks like someone made some nice weapon skins and laid them on top of Labo VR shooting games.

The article title is currently:

"Somebody Recreated DOOM Eternal In Labo Garage VR, And It's Really Something"

Had it been:

"Somebody Recreated DOOM Eternal's Weapons In Labo Garage VR"

I probably wouldn't have bothered to comment. 🤷‍♂️

@InvisiBulbasaur "The Only Thing They Fear is You, Doom Eternal's main theme"

As I said earlier - see above - I haven't' played Eternal yet. But when most people think of Doom, I don't think the music is what comes to mind. Though I could be wrong, I play all the games, but I don't consider myself to be part of the community. Now you want to talk game music, JRPGs is the way to go. 😁

And as I said above, what was done was nice, even nicer if they made the theme song in Labo Garage, but I don't think people would jump to "Doom" even if they have played all the previous Doom games but not Eternal. I'd give it Doom if he had made 1 of these. 😉

@rjejr ah yes, I didn't specify it but I absolutely didn't mean that I'd expect you to recognize it right away, if you haven't played Eternal.

I just wanted to point out that it is indeed Eternal, but obviously you can't be blamed for not recognizing it before playing 😃

Btw go on and get it, what are you waiting for?!
It's the best FPS of all time hands down and one of the best games in recent years, just approach it with the mindset that you're gonna die quite a lot and constantly learning and improving your technique.
I know I'm making it sound like a Soulslike, but to be honest I'm not even a big fan of those.
Eternal is just awesome 😃

So it’s a poor-man’s Dreams?

@TechaNinja

😄😂

@Bondi_Surfer
Or Dreams is a rich man's LABO Garage? Either way, Dreams unfortunately sold considerably less. :v

@rjejr "when most people think of Doom, I don't think the music is what comes to mind."

I take it you're not familiar with the countless "when the DOOM soundtrack hits" memes that have been popping up in recent months.

cannot wait for game builder garage. with 71 games you can make. i am sure a few doom like games will pop up. i just wonder how big you can make each game?

@clvr I haven't gotten it yet b/c I don't rush out to play Doom games as I don't like FPS. I just wait for them to either show up on PS+ or Gamepass or on my public library shelf or go on sale for like $5. So usually about 3 years after release. Eternal has only been about a year. And you mentioning dieing isn't helping. 🤷‍♂️ When I get it I'll be playing on "I'm too Young to Die". 🤣 Which is funny cause I'm like really old. 😝

@InvisiBulbasaur "I take it you're not familiar with..."

You would be correct. 😉

So, I thought you were joking, and I googled it, and yeah, apparently that's a thing. Us old guys can't keep up w/ the kids. 😁

Anyway, I suppose it's a nice homage, but as I said it 1 of my previous posts, I still don't think this makes it "Doom" and nobody is paying $60 to play this, even if it was 20 hours long. Doom wasn't "recreated" in Labo VR. It just wasn't. But I am gaining a newer appreciation for what this person accomplished, even if it only applies to Doom Eternal fans.

Thanks again for the meme info. 👍

@brunojenso

Meaning this story was days old by the time NintendoLife got to it.

@JuiceMan_V But seriously - does that matter?

I didn't expect DOOM 2016. I thought DOOM 1993 is supposed to be ported to everything.
