Is it so weird that there are some people like me who don't like archaic games like this?

Like I said, they're called boomer-shooter for a reason.

How is this game archaic?

 

[Skitso]

Amazing key art.

That's beautiful with a nice nod to the past. Best key art I've seen in years.

 

[niilokin]

It also seems like it's big open areas with monsters everywhere instead of those arena areas from previous games. A welcome change if so!

 

[splattered]

I'm not saying i want them to but imagine if Xbox had actually stuck to keeping all these games exclusive to their console... they had some duds in Redfall and Starfield and let that change their perception on what would make their gaming division successful. ... if only they had the balls to stick to their guns and get to THIS point of releases we are recently seeing. It's all their fans asked for for years but in the end Xbox threw up their hands and threw in the towel. Kinda funny.

Hopefully it has a good balance of open areas vs. tightly hand designed maps with secret areas, shortcuts, color coded doors etc.

Watching that deep dive video now and I'm flabbergasted in all the right ways.

Can't believe a franchise I've hold near and dear to my hart for all my life is still going strong, after all these years. And dare I say, getting better with each outing. Amazing stuff.

The core gameplay doesn't seem to have been changed drastically from old skool Doom.
It just has a few touch ups here and there.

This will be my game of the year, I know it.

Amazing key art.

How much did they paid to have lizzo in the cover of the game?

Try reading what you post. Boomer shooters are about being "OG Doom like".

Like every other FPS.

 

[Balducci30]

Worried it will be too slow. I really liked eternal and being able to jump/fly thru the air with the grappling hook

It's all their fans asked for for years but in the end Xbox threw up their hands and threw in the towel. Kinda funny.

But it isn't.

Their fans defended their shitty releases, were obedient yes-men and made all the excuses in the world for them.

From crackdown 3, bleeding edge, releasing a new console generation with no new exclusives, all the way through to Redfall etc.

Maybe if those people had demanded better instead of being cheerleaders then this potential turn around might have happened soon enough to save the hardware side of the business.

 

[Brakum]

I wish more devs made games that are just games.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Gee, I wonder why they call it "DOOM-like".

Edit:

Anyway, I've said my share.

Day 1 for me

Wich isn't bad at all. Both old school doom and modern are great games. Have more fun with those than something like CoD

 

[Icymanipulator]

All that’s missing is an alternate skin without that stupid cape.

 

[N0S]

Dunno how I feel about the combat loop.

Nothing wrong with that.

People should lighten up a bit.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Looks absolutely great, I hope you can do a melee-only playthrough

However...

> 80€ for the base version

To me it feels like they wanted to inch closer to what a direct sequel to Doom 64 would have felt like, which probably solidifies that this takes place after Doom 64 but before Doom 2016 in the story's timeline. For reference, the 64 ending (which was made canon in 2016):

Amazing key art.

Please find me a high-res (or 1440p) version of this and I will like all your posts for a year.

Cmon dawg. Lizzo is looking a lot better nowadays

 

[Buggy Loop]

I just can't understand id's thought process that ended in them adding high fantasy story elements with ancient gods, giant mechas and flying dragons in DooM.

And thank god for that.

Sorry you don’t like good gameplay.

 

[kiphalfton]

This literally tweaked and solved all my problems I had with Eternal.

Doom 2016 was my favorite FPS.

What problems specifically?

Eternal was okay, but extremely limited in how you played. Doom 2016 was way better imo.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Can someone screen cap the developers at 1:43:27???



I don’t see a lot of DEI here in Dallas Texas….mostly white males

Can someone please let them know they’re not diverse enough????

Compare this with 343….

Kacho can you report them to HR???

 

[Luipadre]

Looks okay. Not blowing my mind tbh

 

[baphomet]

Music in that trailer is pretty ass.

 

[Draugoth]

Please command me

 

[Lux R7]

so cool! i will be there for sure

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Still waiting for the physical pre order to drop. Oh yeah.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Music in that trailer is pretty ass.

Agreed. Stock and generic. Needs some Slayer and Hatebreed imo.

 

[Griffon]

Cautiously optimistic.

I want to believe they learned from Eternal, but it also feels like they never understood what made 2016 amazing to begin with. This could go either real bad, or real good, no inbetweens.

When you're so anti-DEI... you have to bring it up when nobody is talking about it.

 

[Branded]

Wonder if this one will also have some form of multiplayer? I actually ended up really enjoying the multiplayer of Eternal. Even 2016's phoned-in MP was actually not that bad (before it became infested with cheaters anyway).

Red state bruh. id is a diamond. They must be protected at all costs. The results speak for themselves.

None of that “we wanted to take what makes doom great and bring it to a modern audience” crap.

 

[Fabieter]

I can see why it's called a boomer-shooter.

Cool for the fans, I suppose.

Not everyone likes perfection. It's fine.

 

[Skitso]

Oops

 

[R6Rider]

That Collector's Edition looks awesome, but at $200 it's a little too much.
