The New DOOM Thread (2016)

[JarlFrank]

The action should be so smooth and so fast, art director Hugo Martin said, that players should "feel like Bruce Lee with a shotgun on a skateboard."

This dedication to speed also drove the adoption of the glory kills, the brutal hand-to-hand finishing moves that drew a lot of attention during Quakecon last year. The core loop of gameplay is known by id as "push-forward combat," so anything that makes players slow down and pause is immediately removed.

By all the gods this looks fucking horrible as a doom game. Pitifully low amount of enemies, walking speed as slow as realistic military shooter, THAT FUCKING SLOWDOWN ON GUN CHANGE, what the fuck is this bullshit.

 

[Melcar]

It's the new shit.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

Still, it'll be better than Doom 3.

 

[thesheeep]

I honestly don't think it looks that bad. People are just shitting around here a lot because Bethesda.
Of course, it doesn't look that good either, really pretty much standard and lacking that old school feeling.

All in all: Meh.

 

[Bigg Boss]

Not saying much really. The enemy design looks the same which is not good. The action is slowed down by dumbass kill animations and a weapon wheel of all things. It's like they looked at Brutal Doom and said "We have to copy that shit!" which isn't what Doom is all about. I'm willing to bet we can count on more boring ass corridors like in Doom 3, as opposed to the open level design of the originals. I will give them props for using the severed hand palm reader gimmick that was going to be in the old games but got cut. Thank god the Doom mod scene is still around because this looks like shit. Maybe some people can mod some decent levels into the game.

 

[dunno lah]

They're really pushing the Revenant to the forefront of all their showings. Makes me think that it's the only monster they're really proud of.

 

[Bigg Boss]

Some of the other demons I have seen look awful. They used the shitty Hell Knight from Doom 3 as a basis for the new one.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Oh will nightmare really beat my fucking ass? These fucking faggots wouldn't know challenge if... fuck I got nothing.
So fucking aggravated by that goddamn video.
These cocksuckers should be ashamed.

 

[Alfons]

The gunplay kinda looks like a less good version of Bulletstorm.

Holy fuck. I didn't even know that was possible.

Nah. Some guys were stupid enough to expect a decent Doom game. Now that they saw footage of Doomamole all their hopes were shattered.

Jesus fucking christ dude! That was so fast I could barely see. The whole video is just a fucking blur!

 

[Major_Blackhart]

The columbine kids would be so disappointed...

Washed out, low contrast.
Piss filter.
Slow, conveyer belt movement.
Demoing on a controller.

No, it's not even like Brutal Doom because Brutal Doom has shitloads of enemies and is fast as fuck, it's basically just Doom turned up to 11.

This is... eh, Doom turned down to 1.

 

[dunno lah]

Remember what that idsoft newfag said? On Hard, you can die in one hit. Another faithful Doom trait...

 

[racofer]

Isn't this a Doom thread? Then post Doom related content ffs:

Best part is, this is supposedly the third attempt at making the game as the previous two were supposedly so slow, CoD-like and abysmal that the suits agreed it's best for id to kill those projects and just start over.

Third. Fucking. Attempt.

 

[Robert Jarzebina]

Speeding up video 2x times, still too slow, KURWA!!

 

[Astral Rag]

I wonder when the first "Doom" 4 apologist will appear on the Codex.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Those gameplay vids look great, you guys are just haters. It's exactly what the franchise needed.

 

[A horse of course]

Take out the stupid highlights when you stagger an enemy and I would probably be an apologist.

 

[vonAchdorf]

It's funny how they say that everything gets cut which reduces the speed and then have 10 seconds long weapon pickup animations

 

[DraQ]

Console support is getting the axe?

and then have 10 seconds long weapon pickup animations

Actually I don't mind this kind of shit provided it's SP only and happens only once per weapon per playthrough.

They solved that problem by weapon loadouts and not allowing you to pick up weapons in multiplayer.
