As for me, my 'dooming' experience is not determined by how the graphics look after 20 years. I can deal (and at some point I would be more than interested) in a graphic revamp of the game textures if they stick to the original palette (or even an optimized one, since not too long ago someone discovered there's like 10 duplicates). Why would I even want to play Doom while loading a 90MB pack which in the end is going to force the game to load more stuff and thus forcing loading times? All there is is just a banal, lacklusting desire to play a retro FPS with "updated" graphics. Come on now, what's there to update about Doom? After all these years the way Doom plays and FEELS is unmatched.

And let's face it, if people knew about Beautiful Doom the same way they know about BD, the last one wouldn't be as popular as it is (and if it wasn't for Mark borrowing *kegh* the assets from BeautyDoom he would have less downloads); because, for whatever god-danged reason, people just can't stand pixels. What's there that people just can't tolerate about how the demons look? And why would you even care about how they *look*, just kill 'em and go on with your journey.

What's even the point of arguing about how retro games are better than "modern day crap", if you're going to force the game to play with 1024px textures and GL effects out of the ass?

And you know, the same kind of goes with voxels too. In the end it's just a novelty, and it's arguably the flavour of the year. Truth be told, all this time I've been pushing for people to get on voxelized enemies so they could realize how in the end it doesn't matter how it looks but how it feels. When Mark released his own take of the IoS, people (predictably) complained about the fight going from being a 1v1 against "just a wall" to "just a cardboard acting as a sponge" and went pulling straws at a theoretical voxelized IoS (being honest, it'll be cool to see the result, but do not expect everyone to be happy with it)
