I just hope whoever's making the next Doom understands that what made the Cyber Demon so fucking memorable was all the intentionally and/or accidentally brilliant level design going on around him :(

Totally. The episode 2 boss fight gave me one of the biggest scares I ever got from a game. With my stereo shaking the room with the SUPER LOUD rage-stomping cyber demon footfalls as I was about to flee from one of the central ammo goodie rooms, that big motherfucker steps out RIGHT in front of me, and my real life blood curdling scream of terror echoed the space marine's as he got numerous cyber demon rockets to the brain pan.

I've often found that modern games have a much more muted sound design compared to the games of old.

                I would call those ports, not sequels NT by WITTGENSTEIN 06/14/2014, 11:59am PDT NEW
                    That would make them astonishingly inaccurate ports. by Jerry Whorebach 06/14/2014, 12:51pm PDT NEW
