Recreating the "old" style of game play felt new again. Only two primary weapons, automatic healing, "take cover " shootouts, and a very small variety of enemies. There were an assortment of other small changes which added up to a dramatically improved game.īy the time 2016 rolled around, every FPS was no longer a Doom clone, but a Halo clone. This was to add tension and gave the game a survival horror feel, but it felt incredibly tedious for a Doom game. When the game first came out, for instance, you couldn't hold a gun and a flashlight at the same time you had to hold either or. You're probably playing the "BFG Edition," which didn't come until several years after initial release. It's worth noting that they improved Doom 3 in small but important ways. Every game started to feel like Doom, so they tried something different. When Doom 4 came out, it returned to the campiness of the first two Dooms, making it more well received by fans of the originals.ĭoom 3 was created at a time when first person shooter fatigue was setting in. Doom 3 was a slow-placed legit cautionary tale of unchecked capitalism, where the horror (both literally and figuratively) is that you have absolutely nowhere to escape (no oxygen on Mars, after all). Those games were fast paced, action oriented, and didn't take themselves too seriously. I think a lot of the backlash from Doom 3 came from the expectations built up by Doom 1 and 2. If you take the time to read some of those e-mails and journal entries it paints a very detailed picture of how hard life in space is, and how brutally the UAC treats its employees. I really like how they set up UAC as something akin to Weyland-Yutani. For the time, it was a very claustrophobic game that ratcheted up the intensity pretty quickly from the start, but also gave you certain calming elements that, as the game continued on, were taken away until all you had left was the intensity.
