retro sequel that looks and plays like DOOM II but has all-new levels and gameplay features?

By far, kinda like what DtwID except different resources. Re-imaginings and remakes are boring and pretty much redundant in my opinion.

The question is, would you pay for something like that, or reason that you can find as good or better stuff on idgames/ and free source ports like ZDoom/GZDoom? (OK, I realize that Final Doom received this exact criticism in its day, but the circumstances were different).

No Rest For The Living worked because it was aimed only at the console market, where issues like the above are, well, non-issues. At all.

Well, I'm quite fine with Doom3 and sourceports being HD remakes, and PWADs as retro sequels.

Though I guess I'd buy any official HD remake or retro sequel, unless it's only for some console...

Yeah I definitely would. Also I'm quite sure if ID made another set of Doom maps they would end up with something that's better than DtwID (even if DtwID is quite good), and they might even end up adding a new monster or something to make it even more worth the value. I'd also justify my purchase by comparing it to the amount of satisfaction I'd get out of it to the amount of satisfaction I get out of a normal modern shooter.

The problem is that it's too late for id to impose a new "canon" on the series, a-la adding a new monster to be considered for the wiki just like the classic ones: too much competition with user made mods.

And exactly for what engine should this be made? Modified doom.exe? A modern source port? Where would you draw the line between "new canon Doom version" and "glorified PWAD"?

99% of the user modifications are garbage (plain maps are a different story) so ID would have virtually no competition at all if they were to create one.

Not that this will ever happen, though.

there is plenty of competition from quality community-made WADs already. Not to even mention that id just doesn't have the talent to create Doom maps anymore.
