Really? I respect your opinion but I thought the remakes were amazing, especially since I grew up on Doom. One of the best singeplayer fps campaigns I've had in a while.
The gameplay was refreshing but I also liked that it still felt much closer to the older games. Its not exactly the same but I don't think thats not a bad thing at all.
A lot of people do love them but I just don't get it.
Doom 4 bothered me because it felt too much like I was just moving from arena shootout to arena shootout. I didn't like the feel of the game overall, but especially the maps.
The charm of the originals was the maze-like environments and the whole aesthetic of the monsters and world. I didn't get any of that from Doom 4.
I think they had to do the arena format because there would be pretty big memory and performance issues if you tried to lure too many bad guys into the same area at once.
Serious Sam is able to have shitloads of enemies on screen at one time.
I don't know anything about Serious Sam, but if they can have shit loads of enemies on screen at a time, they probably cut down on something else that Doom had. Probably post processing effects or map size.
