So has anyone actually _played_ wolf3d lately. Sure you get a nice "ah, I remember the good old days" feeling from it but when you look at it what we really loved about it was it was a precursor to a genre.
Is anyone really interested in playing a "kill the guard, kill the guard, find the key, kill the guard, kill the boss" kind of game? The FPS genre is so chock full of titles at the moment I fail to see how a throwback to the daddy of them all is going to be something to lose sleep over.
Given the current saturation of the FPS market a game has to bring something special or new to the table in order to be something other than a rehash; and, forgive me for being cynical, but the fact that they're leaning on the goodwill of the original title has me wondering if they have anything at all.
Hey, I could be wrong, look how many great 60's movies and TV shows have been remade into modern classics lately.
No, really...
Stop Laughing
