- garmaine 7y agoProbably. To be clear, what's being stated here is that Doom, Wolfenstein, etc. don't actually render from 3D internal data structures like Quake and later first-person shooters did. The level layout is inherently 2D and some tricks are used to render the environment in a way which looks like a 3D perspective. But it is fundamentally a sort of flat-lander's pseudo-3D.
