So... let's take Doom 2016's near-perfect shooting mechanisms. The level designs were good for today's standards, but they can improve on them, especially by making so the enemy encounters aren't always teleporting monsters. More enemy variety would be nice, too. And then, like Doom 2, it needs to go back to Earth. The only bad aspect of Doom 4's cancellation in favor of the reboot is that they scrapped Earth to do yet another Doom 3-like soft reboot, putting us on Mars again. I've been waiting for decades (not kidding) to have another Doom set on Earth. 15 years ago or so I'd fantasize about an eventual Doom game on Earth where a giant cyberdemon would walk between buildings, making them crumble, and you, the player, having to run between the dust, the falling pieces, the debris on the ground as you empty your rocket launcher into his enormous body. I don't know if a new Doom will deliver this, probably not, but it's a childhood dream to get a "next-gen" Doom on Earth. And given how amazing the reboot's gameplay is, I could lose my shit if they pull it off.
