I don't really care for bringing back old games like DOOM and Wolfenstein. To me those games where great for there time but that was a time when limiting hardware forced developers to be more creative with how they present games.
Video games where such a niche hobby that the people who played them where so taken back by what was cutting edge at the time that they forgave, and lets be honest here, really stupid story plots.
Now a days with hardware boasting about how it could launch your bedroom to the moon if it wanted to; I don't see why story lines are still given a free pass, to me a story line should be on par with the graphics of the game. To me a great example of a game with a good, if not predictable, story is The Last of Us; it spoke as well as it looked and that game looked great!
But in the end I can't help but think about how this reminds me of a desperate father going threw a mid-life crises and trying to hang out with his son and his mates saying: "I still cool, I can play the guitar and drink until I vomit out all of my shame." Just buy the kids some cheap boo's and piss off.
