id Software defend Doom 3
Willits points out massive sales
Doom 3 designer Tim Willits has been defending his creation today in a new interview with Eurogamer.net.
Willits admits that some of the criticism surrounding the game was valid, but notes the game's huge sales figures - and the overriding pull of the Doom brand.
"If you are any self-respecting videogame player, you love Doom, but everyone’s vision of Doom and memories they had of playing Doom, and what they thought Doom should be - everyone had a different idea," he explained.
"When you’re that popular, you will have different opinions. It was very successful for us, and I love playing it even to this day, and there are few games that look better, still, and that game came out a long time ago."
Doom 3 sold in excess of three-million copies.
More Doom soon.
