So if the original doom was so good, why hasn't there been a 1:1 remake with updated graphics and music?

I mean, even the fans would have done something like this in source, unreal, cryengine etc. by now right?

That's a really dumb way to measure the quality of something bro.

>remaking a FPS that doesn't even have vertical aim
Why? DOOM was groundbreaking when it came out, but it's not particularly good anymore.
>>
>>340480183
Go fuck yourself
>>
>>340479859
Because it doesn't need one. And source ports exist so you can play the game in newer machines with no issues.

>>340480183
Have you played the damn game?
>>
>>340480183
Doom is perfectly playable with vertical aim
>>
>>340480095
no it's actually really good.

The industry exists to make money. Good games make money. If this game was good there would be a remaster.

Go back to your play pin, autist.

>>340480183
Nigga please. I literally beat Doom 1 for the first time just last week, and it was one of the best experiences I've had in vidya, in recent years AND fucking ever.

Plus, the fans have remastered the game on its own engine hundreds of times already

Many times, Anon.

>>340480408
But what did the vertical aim in something like Brutal DOOM add to the game? Nothing.

If DOOM came out today with current graphics/animations/sound quality it would be universally shat on by everyone.

You're either a pleb or way too optimistic

So if an old game doesn't have a remaster it isn't good?

Cause remakes are ass fir the most part unless they are under the hood updates to it just to make it run better if that used to be a problem and to offset the hassles of finding an old copy of somethng that is to expensive to own physically otherwise.
>>
>>340480637
Vertical aim can be easily enabled in source ports and it doesn't add anything because Doom is already fine without it
>>
>>340479859
You mean all the source ports, of which I think Chocolote doom and ZDoom are the most popular.
>>
>>340481023
It doesn't add anything because the game was made in 1993 when there was no such thing, and has been left behind by the genre it created in almost every aspect.

Which is why a remake would be silly. Like you said, it's fine as it is.
>>
>>340481187
GZDoom with smooth doom and higher quality SFX is the best way to play doom.
>>
>>340480637
>If DOOM came out today with current graphics/animations/sound quality it would be universally shat on by everyone.
Perhaps based on game length. It's a short game by today's standards.
Just bundle all the verious .WADs with it tho, fixes that problem
>>
>>340481397
Is that the one where the Archvile jump is massively OP compared to base doom, or am I confusing it with something?

I wouldn't mind me some DOOM. Gameplay is still the same and still good after all these years, even if it runs at 35fps.
>>
>>340481509
Smooth Doom is just smoother animations and alt sprites
>>
>>340479859
What people did instead is add more content to the original Doom engine. There are hundreds of different flavours of mods.
>>
>>340481509
Smooth doom just add better animations, and sprites.

>>340481615
>>340481846
Cool. Are there any that'd run at 144fps?

>thinks doom should be remastered
>doesn't know about source ports
Holy shit! I never knew people could actually be this retarded. I'm not even memeing. OP, get that extra chromosome checked. My 6 year old disabled cousin has come up with ideas that make more sense than that. How did you even figure out how to use a computer, let alone make this shitty post on /v/? This post stands as proof that everyone shouldn't be given free speech.
>>
It really doesn't need these things. There have been fan remakes but the original is still the best.

I mean there's still chrono trigger and stuff, but a lot of old games just don't hold up.

good copypasta bro mind if I edit it and reuse it?

That is simply wrong

>>340482164
And I'm willing to bet that most of them are from the Windows or early true 3D era.

So if the original Mona Lisa was so good, why hasn't there been a 1:1 remake with updated paint and frame?

"This new and exciting reboot of the Mona Lisa franchise has widened the potential audience through new and innovative drawing techniques and better accessibility. 10/10 for the depiction of a strong independent woman. My wife's sons love it."
