Darkplaces Quake engine + Doom = ?

I just stumbled upon the demo of this canceled FPS game called Retroblazer...
It's built with the darkplaces engine, an enhanced version of the Quake 1 engine.

The interesting thing are 2D enemy/weapon/item sprites and that special retro look:

Demo: http://www.retroblazer.com/RB011415.zip
(the zip even includes the darkplacesenginesource)

Wouldn't this be perfect as the base for some sort of Doom remake/mod project?
A true 3D engine with classic Doom sprites, sounds pretty good to me. Cheers!

No

Spoiler:
Vavoom is the closest you'll ever get in terms of Doom hybridized with Quake engine architecture

An actual example of how it works out, Doom sprites in a true 3D polygon engine, is this Half-Life "mod for a mod":

"gmDoom is a partial source port of Doom integrated into Garry's Mod 13. Assets are loaded from an IWAD, and no binary modules are required!"

Why would anyone want to do that though?
