This game is really the ultimate remake. Unlike most others it is recreating the feeling of playing the original rather than recreating the original. The 1993 Doom was a huge achievement, for the time, it kicked off First Person Shooters as a genera. Just recreating the 1993 Doom would not give people the same feeling in 2016 that playing Doom in 1993 did. Being that pivotal to the medium means that 23 years later a lot of stuff has iterated on that genera. Recreating the feeling of playing one of the first FPS games isn't just about improving the graphics and controls it requires them to create the synthesis of the original Doom and the entire genera that it spawned. Doom 2016 is as successful in that endeavor as I think it would be possible for it to be.
