>I really don't agree with the line of thinking that videogame directors should become irrelevant nonentities.
That's not what I said and you know that unless you're that stupid. I guess it's easier to put it this way for you than to say "how dares he suggests that all developers should get equal amount of recognition as opposed to 1-3 people getting way more than they possibly deserved" because that would sound dumb...
>This is genuinely fucking stupid thing to continue being upset about.
LOL
>Woooww the guy who was THE Doom guy
LMAO even.
>>10870197
Do people still genuinely use this degenerate "did YOU made it" phrase to deflect criticism of their favorite thing or person or that's just a shitpost?
>>10870238
>Hell, how many game designers decided “I’m gonna make a map pack for that game I helped make 26 years ago”? The only one I can think of is Romero.
Yeah. Because other game designers work on new games or moved to something different altogether. I guess it's commendable that he put in slightly more effort than to simple sit on his ass and farm engagement on Internet from impressionable crowd with rose-tinted glasses by talking about good old days.

Yes. While they definitely shit the bed with whole "Doom Slayer" thing in Eternal & The Ancient Gods, it is the same character.
>>10647429
>Plutonia, TNT
>Though I think I've seen some nerds theorize we play as a different marine in Plutonia or TNT
As it wasn't developed directly by id Software and recent re-releases of DOOM's have them as Add-ons, I think it's fair to say that (at the very least) both of those expansions have nothing to do with Doomguy's story. Especially since Doomguy being the main character there was never directly confirmed.
>>10647460
>The game is not even made by the same company or employees
Like >>10647471 said, it was developed by id Software. Same legal entity.
>At that point you can pretty much decide it for yourself, what you accept as a canon.
That's called "headcanon" and doesn't change the official thing.
>writers at Bethesda
Writers at id Software.*

Even if that was true (which is not, as >>10647497 says; but people ignore facts like that since they're inconvinient), why does it matter? While I agree that people should remember what each developer did at the time, this talk is inconsistent and fucking stupid. Each game is a result of a teamwork (unless it was literally created by one person) and it's hard to say how much the same or different the end result would be without one person missing. Claiming someone as "more" or "less important" is at best questionable and at worse dismissive of their contributions.
The funniest part is that this shit is only brought up when person things that the thing created by company is bad. When it's good or they're zealous fan of the group, said company is suddenly the same as back in a day (for example, Raven Software).
>>10647623
They totally overplayed this Slayer shit. It was fine as is in 2016.

>Does Year Zero imply that it's a prequel?
Apparently, "Year Zero" is an actual term referring to antichrist. To how he will destroy all history, culture, calendar and all that. Now that sounds like something closer to Eternal's sequel.
It's also worth noting that those are old Microsoft documents. Somewhere from 2020, I believe. Plans have definitely shifted. Although it's not surprising that id Software is sticking to their most popular franchise instead of doing something different.

>>9283382
More "Nintendo, hire this man" material across the board. Like the examples from Nvidia.

>>9170485
Wholesome anon & mean Doomworld. Don't be like Doomworld. Fuck Doomworld.

>>8845523
Server's up again.
I guess I have a sixth sense for when shit goes wrong.

Will you two quit acting like sissies and start posting bout some doom or something you like? This kind of shit is going in circles.
