>Wolfenstein 3D was going to be a social stealth game with disguises like Hitman or Death to Spies
ehh, we'll just make it a simple shooter and call it a day
>Doom was going to be a robust action-adventure game with character progression and immersive sim elements, almost like Deus Ex or System Shock
ehh, we'll just make it a simple shooter and call it a day

I think it's related enough, but I had this really shitty theory when I was younger, that I still believe to this day, that several songs on NIN's The Fragile Disc 1, are parts of a scrapped version of the Quake soundtrack.
I mean seriously, take out the vocals on some tracks and they match up fucking perfectly.
The Day the World Went away seems like a PERFECT match to the first level. Starts off slow, ramps up quick, AND, it's Track 02 on that album.
The first level's song in-game is listed as Track002.
Not to mention the guitar riff from The Wretched sounds a hell of a lot like the title screen music.
There's some other similarities I noticed, but it seems plausible enough.
Maybe he made a heavier soundtrack at first, scrapped it in favor of atmosphere, and re-used the original tracks later and just recorded some lyrics over them.

RIP to Robin Williams. Come on /vr/ show some love. Not meant for /vr/? Well he was a Zelda and Doom fan, among other games.

I wish Quake had more music. The songs Trent made were really awesome and made the game ten times more atmospheric but ten tracks just ain't enough.
