You *might* credit people? I would bloody hope you would, if you’re getting people to submit content to your site – for free – they at least deserve some recognition.

PS: Maybe you should set up a domain and a actual functional website before you ask for content. Wouldn’t want people’s hard work to go to waste on a website that hasn’t been created yet (Where’s the link!?)

Once again, there is really no need for you to get all defensive. If it’s not hosted on Id Software/Rome.ro or other officially affiliated sites – then believe it or not, it does take effort to find it.

You also have to get copyright permission to host these images on your site – although I’d doubt it’d be much of a problem with id, as they seem pretty relaxed about the whole thing.

Project suspended until i get more time and …so on.

I will probably find some creativity to do for you guys.

No problemo.

I sort of didnt get much more info out of the romero.. but i got some nice answers in the forum here….

i kind of would need some awesome info from you guys and then i could make a simple site for doom.. then have sections ofr wolfenstein and so on..
specially dedicated to showing special information on the games that you could not find on the box
for sake of history people could go back and see that the excellent works were not accidental , they were thought out…

doom has so much GOING ON FOR IT that even games today do not fully use .. and barely started to use.. when you just start brushing up on what they thought about back then you see they went to great detail .. no other game after that had those artistic passion that doom had..
in same way wolfenstein could have been a marvel..
knowing what the devs went through and how the 2d sidescrolling idea had to and came about to transform into this 3d era and ideology of why not putt the player in control .. and so on.

I had no idea as you can see in the doom “boost” lol post i made asking john about doom .. i had no idea all those ideas were actually meant to happen , all the great things in doom were in otherwords not accidental like many of todays games are a bit accidental.

I am still firm believer in that what made doom great was not the blood , the gore and blasfemy but it was the coming tog-heater of solid principals and details to fuse into this realism that today feel almost accidental in many games.. and some games completely left out..
reading the post i made and the great answers john gave you realize just in those few informational posts how they actually did decide weather this or that would happen or be present in doom.

I still till this day claim doom1 has not been surpassed as a game with the package .. you can find games that have individual greatness and peaces of greatness but doom had it all in one package even if it was just a minuscule game compared to todays technology.. if you were to repeat that package today with our technology you would have the single best fps or maybe game in history of man.
Something honestly only game that came close to fulfilling was quake 3 but quake 3 was great as a limited multiplayer game.. it was great because the package required not so much and it was form ID.. even id in my respect have not been able to top their own effort of DOOM.

Now some people will say well we have this and that today but none of the games contain it all and also there is no excuse because doom did something so well when the technology was in its infancy .. many celebrated games of today outright reek of over hype and reasonless cult following that which many UNCELEBRATED games before it was quite similar
To give an example is the game “damnation” or i dont remember its exact name but the game was exact same as gears of war and uses obviously even same engine and in my opinion had a lot more to offer you had platforming also! however it went down as one of hte worst games and had no reason to think gears of war was better even if we accept that geras of war had small graphical enhancements .. but all you could do was duck cover and shoot .. this is a disgrace to our technology and nothing compared to the work of older artists who really WERE using the art and art of gaming.

Lets just say todays games contain art they are NOT ART .. they are just mishmash and poorly executed ideas into a graphical engine , while htey have great coders and graphical artists but where are hte geniuses who thought for over 30 years ago that gaming should be funn and addicting? where are they? … a simple duck and cover and shoot WILL NOT DO IT FOR ME SIR! no sir!
SHAME ON the millions of dollars they might use to make such games.. and claim they are GOLD standard.
