Sure I would. One reason is simple nostalgia. I played Doom when it first came out and I would love to see a professional homage to the original game. It would be very cool, imo, to even have the levels the same (same layout) and even the "hidden" areas in the same place, etc, but update the graphics, use actual 3D models instead of sprites for the enemies, etc. Imagine the original Doom made with the latest Doom or Unreal engine. Nostalgia freaks would go nuts for this sort of thing smile . This would be like creating Doom for what it was meant to be ... how they would have created it back then if they had the technology of today.



Yes but you wouldn't really be playing Doom now would you? I mean, in this new Doom you'd probably be able to jump and look up and down.. But that's not doom anymore cause now the gameplay is different resulting in a different game. One of the cool things i liked about doom is how you could play it without a mouse, making it feel so much faster and ultra responsive than newest FPSs. I actually still play 1vs1 battles of the first level of Doom 2 with my cousin when we get the chance. I know that level better than I know my home to be honest..

Anyhow, you're in luck cause I just googled it and I immediatly found a Doom 3 mod that gives you all original levels, monsters and weapons of Doom1.. It's called Classic Doom.
