What "enhanced visuals"?

[randir14]

The game looks exactly the same as unmodded Doom. You can get way better results with GZDoom and mods like Smooth Doom. This seems kind of low effort after all the graphical enhancements Nightdive gave to Quake 1 and 2.

I think the enhanced visuals are just a higher resolution renderer and a restoration of all 8 angles of monster sprites.

I think it's kind of hard to do a good looking remaster because Doom's sprites are so iconic that modifying them would cause a huge amount of backlash.

They could've had the option to turn off all enhancements like they did with Quake 1 and 2. They could've even worked with modders to improve the visuals - it's not unheard of, their upcoming System Shock 2 remaster incorporates some user mods.

Modifying the sprites, without at least leaving an option to use the classic graphics would be criminal.

Like the former soldiers' unused sprites?

Yeah, pretty much. Nothing super special, just some minor touch-ups.

Pretty much just to enhance the vanilla version, no reason to go overboard when mods have been doing this for decades.
