This tradeoff is a good compromise in my book. The fact is the graphics on Rise of the Triad is much more 2013 than 1995, yet the level design has heavy influences from the limitations of 1995. These make a return in the remake but they aren’t used to the excessive levels of the originals. In the original game, they also used these floating platforms which were round discs with a flame underneath it. Now there are balconies and overhangs available all over the place. In the original, they used these ugly gray girders. The ability to have multiple levels isn’t abused here but is made a lot better. However, there are other pieces of the original design that didn’t return. This might not seem interesting but it’s a return to how the original game was made and I appreciate it, as it feels correct. I think they step away from the original editor in caverns but most indoor locations are rectangular and straight corridors. There’s still the stale blocky level design that was from the engine/tools of the original game looks, but the game looks far better. There’s something about this game that makes me nostalgic. The biggest thing that has been changed is the graphics, and I have to say, they did an exceptional job making this game look good. While the original game has brilliance for the time, some of it’s best pieces wouldn’t work and the modern game has updated it, while remaining true to what made Rise of the Triad great. The good news is Rise of the Triad’s remake does everything right. Yet time has moved on and games have as well. They are features that were attempted for the first time and were somewhat successful. Sadly, much of the brilliance of the original are relics from another time and place. Playing Rise of the Triad’s remake reminds me of some of that. The development team thus had to scrap most of the work done to that point and redesign the game as a stand-alone shooter.When I was young, I got Rise of the Triad, and I remember thinking, “This was something special.” There was something about the original game that was exceptional.

When Doom was nearing completion, John Carmack revoked the license and changed the licensing terms to the extent Apogee could not market the game as a Wolfenstein sequel, purportedly to lessen the impact Rise of the Triad would have on Doom sales.

id Software is not known to have ever taken any legal action in regard to this, however.

Oddly, the same zone and WAD file code, further modified, also found its way into the source code for Duke Nukem 3D, possibly in violation of its original licensing terms. It also makes use of an early version of Doom's patch_t image format which is close to that used in the press release beta version, indicating that Hall's team was given access to an early transitional source base, perhaps related closely to other contemporary games using the Raven engine, such as Shadowcaster. Rise of the Triad contains code taken from Wolfenstein 3D, as well as early versions of the zone memory and WAD file systems from the Doom source code. Hall also worked the characters from his Doom Bible into the game. The continuous world design feature Hall argued for inclusion in Doom was also originally intended to be included in Rise of the Triad. Having been the lead designer for what was intended to be the retro-prequel, Wolfenstein 3D, he originally planned to migrate many of the features he designed into Wolfenstein, such as push walls to obtain secrets and bonus point items. Tom Hall brought many design elements and ideas with him from id Software. The major drawback of using the Wolfenstein engine was the lack of a z axis, a technical limitation that resulted in maps with no height differences, and a grid-cell-based world with strictly 90º angle architecture. Apogee had licensed the Wolfenstein engine for the game, but the development team added many features to the game, among others fog, dynamic lighting simulation, room-over-room, jumping, gibbing, skyboxes and so on. The game was initially meant to be an official sequel to Wolfenstein 3D, appropriately called Rise of the Triad: Wolfenstein 3D Part II. He immediately started working on Rise of the Triad, and had written the original design document by November of the same year.
He had been fired from id Software in early July 1993 due to differences in design philosophy. The lead designer and creative director of Rise of the Triad was Tom Hall, and the game was his first project after Doom.
