How Atmosphere and Immersion Made Doom 3 A Masterpiece

Описание: Doom 3 is an underrated first person shooter that sometimes gets flack for being different from the earlier Doom games. It's definitely the most divisive game in the series so far. However, I think John Carmack and id Software should be applauded by creating a survival horror FPS that leans heavily on atmosphere and immersion to make for an excellent single player experience. In this video, I discuss how atmosphere and immersion make this game into a masterpiece, and I even discuss how BFG Edition undermines the original game's excellent design. It's more than just awesome lightning effects.
