What If “Doom” Were Made In The Modern Era? (Video)

It would probably look a lot like this.

As one of the pioneers of the FPS genre, Doom looks almost nothing like contemporary shooters, have been borne of an era where maps were intricate multi-level mazes with keys rather than corridors to run down and clear out. With Doom 4 allegedly on the next-gen horizon sometime over the next few years, let’s all hope it doesn’t look like this.

Sure, the video is a little ham-fisted (and new for 2011, but that was the year Rage came out, so there’s that) but it’s still a funny commentary on what game design has turned into. Enjoy.

Also, id, while you’re at it: please atone for past sins and hire Trent Reznor to work on sound design and scoring for the next Doom. Thanks in advance.
