What the actual? 

They mean the BFG. 

 

The cells for chainsaw story is all that worries you there ? 

Definitely into the trash it goes. Oh sure we could get a good game even if it's not moddable but even the quality of the game seems questionnable.

Reading the source material, I'm even more in the category of This Sounds Dumb. 

""We make a doom game with panic buttons!""

Hahahahahahahhahahahahhahah that guy is right, when you think about it.....WHAT IN THE FRIGGING MOTHERFUCK !!!!!!!!! 

You panic...you DIE! reload, try again, get better! 

This reminds me of Doom 64. Its Hell castle maps were perfectly base-like. 

"Both Stratton and Escalation�s president and co-founder Tom Mustaine tell us that they didn�t want to do mods in a traditional way this time." 

Why continue to do something that works well? That would be foolish. 

Why is it mostly them who fuck everything up in terms of media? 

Because they are doing business, not media. As long as we live in a business based society, that's how it will be. 

But you can still do money and make media at the same time. The basic gist would be to generate enough money for the business to be still alive and enough to make your next projects.

But I guess "gaining enough money" is a curse word in the industry. 

The CEOs, Producers, and Executive people are all developers who have climbed in the company. Two of the top people at id are Tim Willits and Kevin Cloud. As for making "enough money", not that I'm worried about their cash flow, but, employees like paychecks.

No, it doesn't take "suits" to make these bad decisions. The head of Escalation is Tom Mustaine, one of the designers of Scourge of Armagon for Quake. And the Zenimax board has the likes of Jerry Bruckheimer on it, so, artists and developers are making these decisions as well. I've seen plenty of Good Ol Fashioned Game Designers and such make very bad decisions, because, well, sometimes they aren't that smart, or they're reacting to different data than what we can see.

The "Corporate Decision" I dislike is calling it Doom. Leave the name alone, this is the 4th attempt at making Doom, two of which were great. Doom 3 was a reboot, and it didn't tread on the name. 

And Doom 64 was great. Too bad id didn't let it be called Doom III, as it would originally be. And too bad the producers didn't use a bigger cartridge, that would allow for multiplayer and the remaining monsters to fit. 

The name Doom and its assets were added for marketing appeal. 

No articles or reviews I've read ever stated that. What I know is that it uses a modified Doom engine, multiplayer was planned but cut, the mappers were from the Doom community, and it didn't just include what the market already knew about Doom, but also extra stuff like the Unmaker, which was cut from the original Doom. 

Under the development tag, with references. 

"The Absolution" was just a development title, not a different IP.

Read about "Peter principle". 

but this is pretty interesting:

looks like they add a new article/pictures every 1-2 days or so. 

I guess beth/zeni are paying quite the pennies for that level of coverage.
