However, I too generally dislike when existing franchies are transformed into something else entirely. Spin-offs etc. are fine and are allowed to have a different focus, and obviously times change and games should too, but if you create a new entry in an existing (typically main) series, you've got to stay faithful. I'd rather have a beloved series die altogether than be transformed into something unfaithful - or perhaps create a spin-off (series) or something, I don't care, just leave the existing series be if you can't stay faithful to it. Unpopular opinion for the most part, but this is why I dislike the more recent Doom games. They tick a lot of boxes for matching the originals, but they also deviate from the originals in significant ways. For my playstyle, they feel entirely different than the originals, and I don't really enjoy it. |
Yeah...unfortunately, I got to see, to varying degrees, this happening to several of my favourite IPs, so I'm sad to see whenever it happens to other people with their favourite IPs.
As for DOOM, yeah, completely agree - I find that new DOOM games are lacking a lot from the originals, and it's, from my POV, change for the worse.
