Tbh, I'm probably being a bit harsh on SS. It wasn't a bad game by any stretch but my gripe was that ultimately, it was essentially just a reinvented Doom with fancy graphics. The problem I had with SS was HL. It was already a few years old when SS came out and had raised the bar so stratospherically with it's sublime story telling, exploration and set pieces, it was hard to see how the FPS could ever go back to simple run and gun. It changed everything and forced FPS developers make smarter choices with their games. A new Doom that is bringing nothing new to the table and is basically a shiny homage to a game not 15 years old, but almost 25 doesn't fill me with confidence. I hope I'm wrong but, after watching the videos and being distinctly underwhelmed by what I've seen, my hopes aren't high.
I was the same with DN4E. When it finally hit, it didn't seem worth the effort and like yourself, I've never played it either.
). Watching the video's though, I suspect if it's just a fast mindless shooter with no real thought process involved, it'll bore me rigid within a couple of hours - much like Serious Sam did and that was almost 15 years ago...
