I don't think Doom or any of these "doom-clone" type games where you are looking out of the eyes of the protagonist (sort of a "first-person shooter", if you would), will ever catch on. They are just a flash-in-the-pan craze that will soon pass. Not to mention that excessive violence. Most gamers are too sophisticated for that sort of stuff; I'm pretty sure future games will be bloodless and intellectual. And don't even get me started on this whole "multiplayer" thing... Mark my words; Doom will have its brief 15-minutes of fame and then disappear, forgotten forever never having left a trace on gaming. ;-)
