Is the new Doom too old-school?

MWEB GameZone writes: "Is the new Doom to old-school with outdated mechanics as some claim, or is it exactly what it is suppose to be and what the FPS genre needs?"

Lets call it Retro and just go with it :)

All they had to do was take Doom and give it a serious make over in the Graphics department.

Doom is Doom and it doesn't need perks or kill streaks or levolution or blast processing or mode 7.

Doom is proper and wonderful as is as long as it has that OMG im fighting hell demons then it's a winner.

Locknuts4013d ago

Blast processing bit made me lol.

Choc_Salties4013d ago

Doom is Doom, lets see what it looks like when it finally arrives. Pure id Software stuff hasn't been a winner for some time, even if it powers the back-end of other games...

Sillicur4013d ago

Yeh its been a long time since id has really put out something special, i think this might be it !

freshslicepizza4013d ago

maybe i'm the only one but i wasn't very impressed with what they showed at e3. i don't get that sense of fear and the variations in monsters and animations looks like it will get old fast. i kept thinking of how well the last alien game was and how they managed to get such a great atmosphere going and solitude with the fear of what's around the corner. mind you this was just a demo.

Sillicur4013d ago

True that. Will have to wait and see with the final game before a judgement can be fully made. But i am excited.

Becuzisaid4013d ago

Doom was not originally a horror game. Doom 3 made it fit into that category, but here they're trying to go back to the arcadey roots.

deadfrag4013d ago

Sorry to tell you but the real Doom was never about fear!Doom was first a tense gory mindless shooter;getting the tension from the packs or quantity of enemys that the game sends after you from everywhere.Its a game that keeps you on your toes due to the tension and intensity of the horde send after you not because of fear!

plut0nash4013d ago

Nope it looks good and very cool. If it doesn't hold your hand then that's a good thing.

Sillicur4013d ago

Well said completely agreed

schmoe4013d ago

nah, not at all, i think this is what doom 3 should have been! BRING IT

Samus is on the list. Personally I'd swap the Space Marines with either Grey Fox from MGS or the COG armor from Gears of War.

NecrumOddBoy1128d ago

You’re right. Hiding at the bottom so I missed it

REDGUM1128d ago

There's no Dead Space listed in here, WTF!

Sciurus_vulgaris1128d ago (Edited 1128d ago )

I’d take the Space Marine power armour off the list due to it not originating in a video game.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Immagaiden1136d ago

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar1135d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter1135d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma3131135d ago (Edited 1135d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR19811135d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman1135d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
