[SSFF] How Doom '16 Redefines the "Retro Throwback"
Added 2016-05-26 08:48:20 +0000 UTCNot just a masterpiece, the effortless way Doom implements modern game design without compromising its old school personality has redefined the idea of the "retro throwback".
Thanks as always for your support!

you mean the comparison to shovel knight? yes, we're the only people dumb/crazy enough to even entertain the idea! and the credit goes to grace, she mentioned it off hand when we were going over an early draft that was more of a very straight-ahead review. we had to almost rewrite the whole thing but it was an idea i really wanted to explore and we knew it would help the video stand out in the crowd. -da

2016-05-31 22:41:15 +0000 UTCthere's already lot of "quake" in "doom '16", quad damage, jump pads, the gauss cannon is basically the rail gun, your default pistol is has infinite ammo, and the shot gun is your basic weapon. if they made a DLC that took place in a gothic castle instead of hell, that'd more or less be quake '16. and to your point about this feeling more like quake than doom, i don't think you're wrong but i don't see that as a problem. when you really break things down, quake was basically just doom with jumping and different artistic style. but if anyone can figure out how to make a new quake, it's definitely this team!
