    i assumed they were talking about the bethesda published reboots, what with them being significantly more popular than the earlier games

      I mean, if someone says “Doom and Wolfenstein” without specifying “Doom Eternal” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW), I’m thinking of Id.

        that makes sense, especially since Doom eternal is in fact still developed by id

        Wolfenstein and Doom have both reached significantly more people since they got adopted by zenimax though, so most folks who actually played the games will have probably gotten introduced to them as Bethesda published games

        “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW),

        lol ok

        Me too, but I’m old. I’m betting age has something to do with this.

      Dude! The original ones were cultural touchstones in a market that wasn’t yet oversaturated. They literally invented and defined the whole genre!

      More people might be playing the new ones NOW, but the original ones were undoubtedly MUCH more popular in their time.

        i mean sure, but that also doesnt matter to the point i was making

        More people might be playing the new ones NOW

        which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom

      Mate, Wolfenstein means something so far beyond a bunch of entirely forgettable reboots.

        thats great

        the reboot is still probably most fans entry point to the franchise and frame of reference for discussing it, especially during a discussion about Bethesda

        that is not any kind of dig at the older games, the quality of them is entirely irrelevant to the point i was making

        you dont need to come to the defense of them, especially by taking digs at the newer games that i also do not care about
