Dude, doom wasn 't the beggining, wolfenstien was awesome and was the predecessor to doom! I think there may have even been one earlier than wolfenstien! Catacombs Abyss Absolute shite though because it was over-complicated. Wolfenstein 3D was so much more successful because it simplified everything into 'point and shoot'. Rather than all these wierd spells, mana, throwing potions and bollocks Seriously - everyone here is having a dig at iD, but really i think after ten years they were pretty desparate to get the movie made. Having been close to the games industry for a while, and knowing a few game luminaries you would have to understand that as much as the crew would want things to happen a certain way, it often doesn't. Admittedly Todd Hollenshead (iD software CEO) is a bit of a tool, he had pissed off plenty of big-wigs in Hollywood and was left with few places to go - with the Doom 3 game coming out it made marketing sense to have the Doom movie follow closely in it's wake. In the end he had to compromise simply because it wasn't felt by the hollywood fellas that the hell spawn story would translate well onto the big screen - and as such iD (read : Todd Hollenshead, CEO of iD software) had to make some concessions and get the shitty script approved. Note : Todd H is an accountant, and was never involved with iD software during the Doom era. He came on board about the same time that Quake came out. You could always go and read 'Masters of Doom' if you wanted a bit more insight in to the shaping of iD software, and why they don't kick as much ass as they used to. It's sad, but at least the Doom movie wasn't directed by Uwe Boll. [Report message to a moderator]
