Doom 4: prefer old school or new school?

Doom 3 is the best singleplayer FPS of all time.

The use of lighting as a gameplay element was genius. You could either see, or you could defend yourself, but not both at the same time. Short sighted gamers complained, "duct tape that flashlight!!!" but I appreciated it as a new gameplay element.

Doom 3 captured the spirit of first playing the original.

 

Well, that's interesting.

First of all, I guess i never found that super shield that enabled you to "defend yourself" in the dark. I suppose i would just run into a wall infinitely

Also, when you are looking at a screen the "short-sighted" aspect is non-existant....if i need to explain this even further then it would make no sense at all.

And....capture the spirit of the original? They brought back a lot of enemies (which actually felt nothing like the original ones) and weapons (really dumbed down, sounded crappy, got no fulfillment, and half the time you don't really have one in your hand) but the core of what made doom, you know, DOOM, just wasn't there.

But hey to each his own.
