Serious Sam did a pretty decent job recreating the experience of Doom.
- bitwize 10y agoThat's what a lot of people think, and that's what the Doom 2016 developers thought -- but it's not true. Serious Sam and Painkiller are games where you walk to a new wide-open area (way wide in SS) and dudes spawn that you have to kill before leaving the area. Don't get me wrong, this is fun. But Doom was different even from this. In Classic Doom, the whole map is available right from the start, and every monster already exists in the level. Enemies can sight and chase you from one end of the map to the other if they're alerted and nothing gets in the way. Plus, the haphazard map layout is confusing and disorienting. You really have to overcome and manage the terrain in order to beat back the demon hordes.
