Of course now we do, but back then nobody was crying that we were moving on.. it was just such an exciting time with games evolving that much.
And this coming from someone who loves Doom and is always tinkering with mods and ports and on legacy computers and shit, but I can admit that during the PS2 era I wasn't particularly interested in revisiting Doom.
I remember the gba port being pretty popular. People still liked Doom.
Well, I think it's a little strange that a classic influential game like this missed the generation that would have been able to do it justice on a console. Dreamcast would have been nicest, what with it's crisp video output.
I'm not surprised it wasn't released, being 'old hat,' but the appetite is still there in the PS3 days, so why not eh?
Dreamcast got Quake III Arena, which people definitely wanted over Doom.
no the doom version on ps3 is a totally different game (remake)Quote:

doom 3 sold really badly and the original doom was so obsolete by then. for people who liked offline shooters there was half-life.
Doom 3 came out way after the Dreamcast was dead. And the DC wouldn't handle it very well anyway.Quote:

DOOM is a different game, Half-Life doesn't replace it.Quote:

Doom 3 is ace, Half-Life though changed the way we played FPS for the most part. It did wonders to push the story narrative, voice acting and AI in a FPS IMO, it made Doom 1 and II or even Quake look old hat in comparison.
Its a real shame that Half Life II never came to the DC, much less SEGA giving the porting job to a bunch of monkeys, rather than buying up Lombomty software and geting them to port or getting Raster productions to handle the DC port
wen half-life came nobody cared about doom anymore. only in the past few years they have due to nostalgia.Quote:
