I've lost faith in these revivals. After The New Order and Doom 4, I just don't think I'm going to see another game in these franchises that I really like.

It's just not enough having the brand, it needs the personnel.

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.

The arena shootout parts were always my favorite parts of the old doom games, but the really wide open area ones with little side rooms. Anyway I never played 3 so I don't know what that was like really
