agh, rips. It seems a bit debatable that replacing the resources in Doom with resources from another game is an actual improvement
(amusingly enough, I once did something similar, a LONG time ago, back when I was in middle school, where I replaced all the doom resources with their nearest Duke Nukem 3D counterpart because somehow my eleven-year-old self thought that mods were cooler when they featured "new" content. Really sad to look back upon all that stuff sometimes.)
Honestly, I'd like to see an attempt at a real "Doom HD" sometimes, a bit like the new ROTT game, something that tries to add flashiness and detail to a world that feels like an abstract representation of the environment that was being made (techbases, cities, whatever) built up from identifiable elements, like tall buildings for the cities with cut-out windows, computer consoles for the tech bases, and so on, but I don't think there's enough interest in that to get all the needed work done. and at the same time, I don't think draping new, higher-res textures over the old ones works. You couldn't put 4096x4096 tiles over the ROTT levels without it looking ridiculous, at least in my eyes.
