Here's what one looks like

There is no way to look through that. Not to mention if you uncompress just one megatexture it would be over 200GB in size alone.
The game would be terabytes in size If it weren't for the heavy compression on said megatextures. They are groundbreaking ! This is why modding the game is close to impossible.
Don't worry though, due to how dumb the marketing team of computer game developers are these days it's understandable to get confused on this as they don't bother numbering things anymore although i personally find it silly that i have to explain something this basic.
Due to the fact that this "subform" is simply called "Doom" i would assume this is for everything Doom even the original.
Sure it is:

Although for some reason they renamed it to Doom 2 when TUD came out which is basically just a paid expanded version of the shareware demo of the original Doom, you can also get two of the three other expansion packs aswell as TUD as standalones but NRFTL is only avaliable via the shoddy Doom 3 BFG rerelease:

There isn't a 2016 version, there is a 2016 game which is the 4th numbered entry in the series. Also IIRC they did that with Doom 3 (aka Doom 2 for us outside the bouble) aswell.
Doesn't stop you from numbering it yourself in your head with your imagination, assuming you have one of course.
Not to mention people looking back would wonder why there are two games with the exact same name with the only difference being the release date. Most people would assume that they would be the same game, much like how Doom and Shareware Doom and the expanded and paid for version of SWD aka The Ultimate (Shareware) Doom have different names.
That you lack an imagination? I don't think that's too hard to understand.
They weren't numbered, much like how every single Sonic Game between Sonic and the Flames of disaster (then Sonic 4) were not numbered like Sonic through Sonic 3. Same with Need For Speed and Age of Empires.
Actually most of those games were released after Doom 3 in the grand scheme of things like Doom Absolution (aka Doom 64) not to mention that if we were to go by my logic then "Doom 2" would simply be called Doom and Doom 3 would actually be called Doom 2.
My version of Doom's naming converion is the only version of Doom's naming convention. Wanna know why? Well i'll explain later if i feel like it.
I understand the storage issue, but why has noone tried?
But that's never been your argument. You're insisting on calling it a different name because that's what you say it SHOULD be named in order to understand which one you're referring to. Use your imagination anyway you want, but calling it Doom 4 is simply more confusing given that Doom 4 was a thing that never happened. Doom and Doom 4 are two entirely different games.
Do you intend on calling the next Prey release as Prey 2 then? Because they had a Prey 2 that got cancelled and instead they are releasing another game called Prey? Because after all these years we might suddenly get confused that new release might actually be the old game and not a new one?
Oceans 11.
Casino Royale.
Ghostbusters.
Star Trek.
Robocop.
Planet Of The Apes.
No one seems very confused over these movie releases having the exact same name as the originals. Why would everyone suddenly stop in their tracks because of Doom?
Quotes out of context and spun around to a personal attack. How original. /s
Exactly.... just like Doom. Thanks for agreeing with my point, finally.
Doom Absolution wasn't released. There was a Doom 64 though. Are you confused over that as well?
Doom - 1993
Doom II - 1994
Final Doom - 1996
Doom 64 - 1997
Doom 3 - 2004
How were those games released after Doom 3? Or are you trying to include the mobile only spin-off games as well?
And now you're calling Doom 2 by two different names. Are you even paying attention to your own logic?
Exactly why it's still wrong. It's YOUR naming convention to call it Doom 4. Doesn't make it correct.
Don't bother explaining further. You're still wrong.
In your head maybie but not in the real world.
I'm insisting on call it that because it's less missleading (not to mention potentially less confusing) than calling it Doom 2016 which suggests that it's either the 2016th release or it's the same game as the 1994 original.
Actually it won't, as people would be focused on the Doom 4 that we got. I mean there is a long list of cut content i could list from the original Doom and it's expansions but nobody talks about that now do they?
Gee, bonus points for stating the obvious buddy.
Probably because nobody talks about the originals, that or they are the originals?
I find it ironic that you also put this in your post despite doing the exact same thing to me:
To actually adress your point though, i was reffering to D:A and D:RPG and not RoE, not to mention the whole Quake series but more on Doom's relation to Quake in the future. That said, i'm not entirely sure why that isn't a reason for people to call this game Doom 4.
Unofficially D64 is D:A, or at least that's what i've heard. That said, it isn't hard to get confused by someone like you due to how contradictory you seem to be.
Correction:
Doom Shareware - 1993
Doom - 1994
The Ultimate Doom box collection (The Ultimate Shareware Doom, Doom (renamed in that pack as "Doom 2") and two magawads worth of cut levels that were polished and sold as their own thing known as Final Doom aswell as some early Doom 2 features) - 2002
Doom 2 - 2004
Doom Absolution and a DoomsDay source port-based Doom "remake"- 2006
Doom 64 - 2008
As there is no offical information i'm not inclined to say.
As Jedi Master Yoda from Star Wars II: An Empire Strikes Back would say:
I see you're editing my quotes, that really doesn't help your argument.
I don't think you're in a position to make such a statement.
Actually that doesn't proove anything other than the fact you're having trouble covering your ass on many fronts.
It's also your naming convention to call it the original aswell as saying that it is the exact same game as the original 1994 release.
That comment goes both ways pal.
You're right, it'll probably go streight over both your brain and your head.
Including (2016) paranthetically is a standard convention indicating the year of release.
It is used universally to differentiate various forms of media, even in cases where there may not be nominal conflicts.
Hit up IMDB to see it in common usage.
