Doom 3 remade as a fast-paced boomer shooter

DOOM II

Hell has invaded Earth, and to save it, you must battle mightier demons with even more powerful weapons. This beloved sequel to the groundbreaking DOOM (1993) introduced players to the brutal Super Shotgun, the infamous Icon of Sin boss, and more intense FPS action.

I've thought before about a possible Doom 3 remake. The environments look good, there are some terrific enemy designs - especially the big zombies - and that P90-style sub-machine gun is great fun, too. But among the pantheon of FPS games, which naturally includes the original Doom, Doom 3 struggles to justify itself. It's a bit slow, a bit sober, and it's absent that kind of gliding-while-gunning sensation that makes the id Software series such chaotic fun. But now that's all changed. Thanks to a huge new mod, Doom 3 has been remade as an ultra-quick run-and-gun boomer shooter, closer to both Doom 2016, and the 1993 original.
