What was wrong with calling them doom clones? That’s what they were called until gen z made OK boomer a meme
Because most are quake clones, not doom clones
Quake was a doom clone
No Quake was a real level up from Doom, at least graphics wise.
Though I actually preferred the sprite graphics for smaller monsters, what I reckon would have been cool is if we could have a retro reboot of Doom 2 but with Quake style 3d monsters for mini bosses, and a whole Hexen remix/mashup but with UT style grenades and low gravity jumps and stuff
