this deserved its own post i past in an extract from my post in another part of hti sforum

“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.”
