Loved 2016. Loved Eternal. Will love this, no doubt. DOOM games just hit different.

Wouldn't be surprised if that is the Switch 2 release date. I think this will be a launch game.

My most anticipated game of the year by far. Let's see what they've got to show us tomorrow. Cannot wait!

Yeah it is a bit weird that the completion rate is low. I loved them both, although they were much harder than the base game and those spirit enemies were no joke.How many of you all completed the Eternal DLC? I'm sad the completion percentage is so low. They're so good.

Why??

I'd rather it had Doom vides instead or that weird Mario quake cluster shat Eternal was..

In case some haven't seen it, here's the path tracing trailer I recorded at Nvidia's Editor's Day 2025. I'm waiting for my RTX 5090 to arrive.Trailer starts at 6:30.
First mention of ID Tech 8?

If you’re the author of that video, someone already stole it and cropped it by the way. Look at channel DGA gaming

Shame on them for fucking over Mick Gordon on Eternal, the game director is a massive cunt.

I didn't like Eternal much, 2016 was great though. Hopefully this is more like the latter.

Probably, i'd expect a blow out and a proper look at it in June. No rush, Xbox have shoved so much unfinished shit out of the door recently i'd rather wait.Fuck me.
Fable is a 2026 game isn't??!

I'll wait for a more polished game and hopefully they are not gonna turn fable into another gamepass fodder game, it should be a game that aim at 90+ on mc, it should be microsoft tip of the spear.

Gameplay loop? You shoot, stab and chop up the legions of hell in various ways.

It's the Xbox Developers showcase tomorrow and this leak tied in with that tells me that we're very likely going to get a lot more information on Doom tomorrow.

I'll admit i didn't get that far into it. It just never grabbed me the way 2016 did. Eternal played so different it was almost like a rhythm action game.
I'm glad real Doomers still exist! A dying breed we are

Can't wait for this.
...I'm expecting disappointment all around though. If it's too much like 2016, to me it won't be exciting enough after Eternal, which in my personal opinion is probably the best single player FPS ever. People who've spent years since Eternal came out complaining about it being not the same as 2016 will likely not like this Doom for the same reason.

I have a feeling this is going to be semi-open world.
So you have these large area's, but can also enter buildings (which are the Doom levels) to get a key to open a door at some other building, etc. You basically choose your own path and can do side-stuff if you like to earn more upgrades.
Then you fight an end boss of that area and some story stuff happens and you go to the next big area.
At least, that's how I envisioned it since seeing that reveal trailer with lots of outdoor open space and even the flying mount.

Doom 2016 was great and enjoyable for me and an overall great game.
But Doom Eternal was too "hectically"and fast, without some kind of "backup" (i mean the pistol) and i was all the time under presure.
I hope that Dark Ages will be more like the 2016 game and less than Eternal.

Cautiously optimistic. Eternal was such a step in the wrong direction it made 2016 seem that much more of a fluke.

That's not the gameplay loop. That's the entire story!
Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal had entirely different gameplay loops, almost opposite approaches. I'm curious if Dark Ages will keep to the "combat chess" style of Eternal (the thinking man's demon genocide simulator) or if it goes back to the basic 2016 approach.
