Fans Are ‘Fixing’ The New Doom’s Colours, Speed

The new Doom looks like a cartoonishly over-the-top romp through gore hell, land of infinite sorrow (and gore). But I don’t know. It kinda feels like something’s missing.

Some players have taken to imagining what the long-in-development Doom reboot would be like if it stuck a little closer to its roots. Linkzaki sped it up to an old-school-friendly ludicrous pace and dropped in some recognisable sound effects. Have to admit, I’m kind of into it:

Again, I can’t help but kind of dig it. Don’t get me wrong: I’m all for classic series going in new directions, but I miss classic Doom‘s relentless pace and sinister atmosphere. It sounds like a lot of fans feel the same way. Oh well, I suppose there’s always Doom 4‘s obvious inspiration, Brutal Doom, which is basically Doom 4, except Doomier.
