terminus12 Posted December 9, 2013 I was wondering this the other day, ya know how google will change their logo to something when it's a special day, like on holidays they do something or the birthday of like a famous or influential person (not always famous)? I'm curious to see if they'll do anything for the 20th anniversary of doom, I highly doubt it but it still, it is pretty much the most influential video game of the 90s and the most influential of the genre (you could argue wolf3d, but that's not fully relevant), which is now extremely popular. 0 Share this post Link to post
clamgor Posted December 9, 2013 Probably would. But I'd like to let you know... that Google is full of arseholes. 0 Share this post Link to post
Waffenak Posted December 9, 2013 I doubt they would change it, it feels like nowadays gamers are starting fps history from Halo 1 even the more mature ones and that is why Doom is losing foothold in mainstream media 0 Share this post Link to post

The CoD series really gained popularity with the first "Modern Warfare" so those iterations which came before it are probably considered "ancestors of the genre" or something. Recently I saw the first Counter-strike called "the grandfather of all military FPS games", which on the one hand is true, but on the other it's dangerously close to calling it "the grandfather of all FPS" :P 0 Share this post Link to post
Nomad Posted December 9, 2013 We can spam them with emails at proposals@google.com to propose the doodle. I'm going to email them right now (we probably should have done so earlier) 0 Share this post Link to post

Marnetmar Posted December 9, 2013 Waffenak said:I doubt they would change it, it feels like nowadays gamers are starting fps history from Halo 1 even the more mature ones and that is why Doom is losing foothold in mainstream media Except it's not. Mods like Brutal Doom have drastically increased Doom's popularity and attracted a lot of mostly unwanted fans. 0 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted December 9, 2013 Im pretty sure they will, they did one with pac man a while back. Im sure you could ask anyone in google about doom and theyd say " oh man! ...that game!" 0 Share this post Link to post
Average Posted December 9, 2013 I think there's a pretty good chance they will. Google might be full of arseholes but they're still geeks (a bit like this place :P ). Also, they have a 107 year old programmer as their current doodle. You can't get much more retro than that... 0 Share this post Link to post
DoomGuy123 Posted December 9, 2013 I really hope they do. Firstly, it would be kickass, and secondly, it might bring old and new fans into the community, which would be nice for us. 0 Share this post Link to post

Doominator2 Posted December 10, 2013 If it did happen it would be cool if it was interactive like you move the mouse to shoot demons or something similar. 0 Share this post Link to post
Obsidian Posted December 10, 2013 I'd just be fine to have Google written in the Doom title font. 0 Share this post Link to post

Maes Posted December 10, 2013 Oh cmon, y'all know full well that you wouldn't be pleased with anything short of a complete and flawless Doom source port running in the Doodle itself ;-) 0 Share this post Link to post
fraggle Posted December 10, 2013 Speaking unofficially, but you're never ever going to see something like this. Guns and hell don't exactly fit with Google's brand. 0 Share this post Link to post

Technician Posted December 10, 2013 Unless it's some trendy science/literature bullshit, Google usually ignore it. They like to give the illusion of intellectualism. 0 Share this post Link to post
