I think the reasons given was that it was too much like a shitty COD reskin so the whole thing got canned, thanks goodness for that but lets just hope they dont make something equally terrible with 4.

I fear great expectations might bring it down though but I'm probably just being pessimistic.

As for what I'd like to see, the ease of modding that came with earlier releases but as the tech level advances the ability to quickly mod becomes that much harder. Beth being Beth are likely to release modding tools, but by that same token they're fucking lazy developers who for a long time seem to assume that the modding community can just pick up the slack where they either cant be fucked adding content or optimizing their engine.

Sure it's contracted to ID but Beth's influence will still taint development.

In retrospect I enjoyed it myself, but it really came down to the fact that it was just not like doom 1 & 2 at all.
There is "oh we have to be moving foward" and yeah that's true, but Painkiller is closer to Dooms gameplay while still moving ahead technologically.
On a related note, anybody who says "outdated mechanics" unironically needs to be euthanized because they really dont know what it is they're talking about.

I like different kinds of shooters but the industry still has shit reviewers who think all shooters have to be a certain way.
