I bought Doom 3 for the PS4 the day it was announced and have been playing off and on.
For me, there is a lot of nolstalgia connected to this game. It was one of my first PC games I had and when I frst played it, it ran at the lowest settings at maybe 10 to 15 fps. I was so young i didnt care.
Replaying 13 years later (I was maybe 10 when I played it first) has been a trip. You hit the nail on the head for most of my feelings. There hasnt been a game with quite the same atmosphere and playing it at 60fps silky smooth has been grear. The black on my 4K display are crisp and dark.
One thing is for sure that it doesnt feel like Doom. The monster design is boring, Hell is not "metal inspired" like the originals and the horror vibe is not congruent to the vibe of the originals. This game, if anything, is a nice trip down memory lane and a chance to replay the game with the highest settings. I am just more excited for Doom Eternal now than anything.
