That's like someone who only owns the PC version of Doom complaining that console ports shouldn't be modified to take advantage of their specific hardware. Exactly how far do you want to go with this? Should every Doom output in 320x200, even though it looks squashed to shit on fixed pixel displays? Should the original MIDI soundtrack be used in all circumstances, despite the fact that modern sound chips are utterly incapable of doing it justice? Something tells me you didn't think this one through.
You know, words have an exact meaning. I wasn't bitching; I was pointing out that for what it did at the time it was cutting edge. Besides, DOOM has been released open source, if someone wants to they can update the game for new features. And I'm sure some people have.
They've done it for Duke Nukem; there is a High Resolution Pack that has been released by third parties that provides much higher resolution for the game, that run it natively in Windows, and many other features and functionality. |
