Well, there’s a Jay-Z lyric from The Blueprint 3 where he says “If you want to hear my old tracks/buy my old albums” (I’ve paraphrased that quite heavily, that man enjoys a good swear doesn’t he?). The point being, you can still get the old Doom. If you want something completely faithful to the original…. just play the original. That said, if you really want to compare this to id software’s 1993 masterpiece, this isn’t that far off at all. In fact, it’s incredibly good. Repetitive environments aside, Doom (2016) is a lean game. A lightning-quick yet carefully made shooter with a grim sense of humour, I’ve had immense fun shooting through the campaign mode and enjoying a game that isn’t concerned with trying to be anything that it isn’t; a fun blast of a first person shooter.
A bad Doom game? No chance in hell."
Evercade has teased a new DOOM release for their platform.
I hope they make a Doom themed VS unit with red lighting. it will be like the Duke 3d one they did a couple years ago.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
The video game industry is already so creative, but one thing that can be improved is its handling of space.
After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.
It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.
Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
Doom single player: 9/10 - loving it
Doom snap map: 10/10 - better than Halo 5 forge in my opinion
Doom multiplayer: 8/10 - It's fun
Overall score 9/10. This game is in my top 5 for GOTY so far.
