But does it play Doom?
Was Doom even that good? Yes, it was; but, it’s time to let it go.
Video games of today have all the graphical power you could ask for: humans look like humans, aliens are more terrifying, grass looks like real grass and Katamari continues to roll record breaking ball sizes. Players are able to interact with their games more than ever before: they can sing, dance and even put a digital copy of their face onto sprites. What more could you ask for? Well, there is always one question that tends to pop up: Does it play Doom?
All video gamers want to know is if they’ll be able to play a game released back in 1993. When the PSP and DS broke into the handheld market, developers were bombarded with questions regarding emulation. When will Doom come out? When will I be able to play NES games? The list goes on.
If Doom was the peak of the video game experience, we probably wasted 15 years developing bigger and badder systems. I mean, Doom’s a good game and all, but, lets face it - it’s time to let go.
The nostalgia factor is off the charts whenever a new system, especially handheld systems, are announced. Personally, I wouldn’t mind being able to play Megaman 3 on my PSP. I wouldn’t mind being able to play TMNT2: The Arcade Game on my DS. It is time, however, to let go. Doom is not the be-all end-all of the video game experience.
