Another one.
There are just so many mods for Freedoom alone, let alone mods that require bona-fide Doom wads, that I can't ever see a reason to buy into a "retro-style" fps.
Partly because of the absurd amount of content (Complex Doom or Death4told and any given megawad could could keep you occupied for hours), but mostly because retro fps's simply haven't aged well. Not compared to, say. retro platformers, that actually had BETTER gameplay then many modern offerings.
It's pure nostalgia, mixed with curiosity of fps history and a desire to experience period pieces authentically, that keeps me playing older fps's.
But there's none of that from an "original" retro fps. It's like trying to read a modern comic book using 1950's art style. That works in small doses as part of something like Alan Moore's Tom Strong, but no one wants their every day Superman, Batman, or Xmen like that.
