Rather than have this discussion in the DOOM/Retro FPS: thread, We can talk about NuDoom here. I understand that attempting to talk about NuDoom in a positive light is probably going to be a fruitless effort here, but this Interview with Hugo Martin has piqued my interest at the very least. https://www.gamesradar.com/games/fps/doom-the-dark-ages-is-introducing-big-changes-to-combat-because-id-software-came-to-one-core-realization-every-projectile-mattered-in-the-original-doom/ Since it honestly sounds like they're finally learning some of the right lessons from classic Doom to a degree. The interview states there will be a much greater focus on dodging enemy projectiles, and far larger enemy counts. They're ditching the verticality, and hopefully have far less platforming crap, and focusing allot more on the horizontal gameplay having been inspired by the original game. Turning the Razor wind form Turok 2 into a Shield with more utility seems like a decent idea. I wasn't at all a fan of how NuDoom Eternal felt like it wanted you to be ADHD with switching to every weapon, but if they are intentionally trying to distance themselves from repeating that gameplay style and trying to have this game stand on it's own, then maybe this game will be more enjoyable. And hopefully if it's set in the past, there won't be any stupid ass Funko pop nerd shit. It's setting is going along with the dumb trying too hard to be cool lore they created, and it's probably closer to Quake's setting than it is Doom, but eh, it's to be expected at this point. All I'm saying is if they are going for Wider open areas, not closed off arenas, and higher enemy counts instead of having few total enemies that keep spawning in one at a time. Then maybe this game will be decent.
