What happens to this community after Doom 4?

[VGamingJunkie]

Why do I get the feeling someone will try to remake Doom 4 in GZDoom or one of the other advanced source ports? Heck, I may even try it. XD

Somebody outside of Doom community will make a converter from classic Doom maps to Doom 4 maps, to show off how the old Doom's design sucks in comparison to new Doom, and people outside of Doom community will see it and agree, old Doom sucked ("Just look at the graphics!"). Simultaneously, somebody in the Doom community will make a converter from Doom 4 maps to classic Doom maps, to show off how the new Doom's design sucks in comparison to classic Doom, and people in the Doom community will see it and agree, new Doom sucks ("Just look at the gameplay!").

Sadly not true at all. Take a look at this thread: Disappearing history

So we're missing some of historic source releases of say, Boom. That's sad. But we haven't lost Boom.

Modding for Doom has always maintained a certain level obscurity and I don't see the release of neo-Doom affecting that significantly. It's not like we're widely known the way the Skyrim or COD modding community is.

Classic Doom will reign always.

People will play it for a bit than go back to DOOM mostly. I think it will fair better than Doom 3 in terms of long term interest though.

Sadly I can see this happening. But I would argue that they will be utterly different games... not that many agree :S

Doom 4 to classic converter? Not unless it sources from snapmaps, their "real" maps have no chance of being easily converted.
