Horror? Doom is horror? Wtf?
Dude, I go around killing demons as if they were made out of paper. How the fuck is that a horror game?
The marine campaign from aliens vs predator is horror, well kinda. Doom is just an arena shooter.
This is about Doom 3, which was definitely more down the horror alley than the Doom installations after the reboot 2016.
doom 3 is all narrow corridors and pitch darkness. they created a very impressive-for-the-time dynamic lighting engine to be able to hide the monsters, made it so you couldn’t have your gun and your flashlight out at the same time, and had all interaction to open doors and such be done through virtual screens with a mouse-driven interface so you couldn’t look away. it is very much so horror.
