I was unimpressed with Doom 2016 once the hype went away, and I am sure I would feel the same disappointment with Doom Eternal, and face the similar disappointment I've had with the new Wolfenstein games, but I will say that though I fully HATE these games, and think they are boring, bland, repetitive, etc, I am glad that it at least gets new people interested in Doom.. but they aren't into the Doom I grew up with, and one day there will no longer be people who grew up with the old games. Maybe this is what Doom is all about to them, but it sure as hell is not to me, but I'll leave it up to future generations to decide.

I think that really does cover what I'm seeing and feel. Much as I have ragged on Doom3 over the years and I really still feel it was an incredibly mediocre game with serious flaws, I do see far more in it that appeals to me in the basic style and premise of the game than what I'm seeing with Doom Eternal.
BTW, I'm not sure if I've seen it explicitly stated anywhere. Is there any chance the name "Doom Eternal" is any kind of reference/homage to the original 1996 Eternal Doom mod (and sequels) or is it just coincidence?

Nash wrote:Sounds like what people really want is "Doom 1 / Doom 2 but with triple A graphics". You want Doom 1-style levels, 7 - 8 weapons, a good mix of closed/tight spaces, tech bases, and some outdoor areas, key hunting, and high monster count (50 - 100 per level).
Someone should just make this game in GZDoom.
