Where the fuck were you?
Would the game have been better if it had jumping? The levels were made without thinking about the possibility of jumping and are still pretty damn great.
Missing the point entirely. Doom wasn't born fast, as silly as it sounds. Did you ever play it without a mouse? It was pretty much a cover shooter, tense and slow but without regenerating health or ironsights. It became fast later when people started to play it with their mouse and with always run on. Until it became known as a fast game. Personally I hate that meme.
Because most people here played it on a sourceport, which do enable mouselook, and with mods which add all those other things and more.
All of those improved on the formula and where better games one way or another, and while everyone will agree on their quality, they'll still put Doom on a pedestal.
Because Doom popularized the FPS genre. You don't understand, companies were having problems with people playing deathmatch (which Doom invented fyi) instead of working. Fucking Bill Gates starred in a comercial for Windows that marketed as a platform to play Doom. And it was easy to put it everywhere because it was shareware. Doom set the world on fire. Other FPS games were known as Doom clones for many years after.
But they had to compete with Doom. I've played them all, and they're all excellent games, but Doom has such a tight design, such perfect balance between the weapons (except the pistol) and the different enemies, such marvelous maps (except Doom 2).
Doom is almost perfect at being what it is: a straightforward, fast paced FPS with great map design and lots of enemies.Most of the other games you mentioned didn't try to be that, they had a different goal in mind. And they were great, but they didn't come as close as Doom to being, for example, a fantastic FPS with a hub world in the case of Hexen, or a really great fantasy FPS in the case of Heretic.
You have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Get GZDoom and download some wads. Download user made maps, download weapon mods, enemy mods, gameplay overhauls. I don't think the world needs another Doom, it needs other kinds of FPS.
