It's interesting that you put thrash metal next to both experiences. As I recall, iD wanted a pure metal soundtrack for the original Doom, and it wasn't until Bobby Prince showed them how atmospheric and creepy classical-type music could be that they went for the hybrid approach that wound up in the shipping product.
- philwelch 15y agoYes, it worked well in a lot of levels, but the bulk of the soundtrack was "inspired" by Slayer, Pantera, Metallica, etc. tracks. There are web pages (or were when I last looked it up) that show a level-by-level comparison of the Doom soundtrack and a particular metal track that it basically ripped off. It probably wouldn't work now. There was a certain zeitgeist in the early 90's where all that stuff went together better than it does now, and you can't turn back time. I just don't remember many FPS games being as fun as Doom and Doom II.
