Looks fun enough. I could use some chainsaw action in my life.

 

[JumPeRJumPzZ]

Of course and I saw exactly that on screen.

Its just complaining for the sake of complaining.

 

[zma1013]

Was hoping for larger, more open levels to be shown. Looks good though.

Those graphics come at a price as Doom 3 showed us before.

 

[tesqui]

Man, I thought the game looked fantastic!

Although the reception seems mixed.

 

[Fury451]

Of course and I saw exactly that on screen.

Which video was that in?

Its just complaining for the sake of complaining.

Hardly. It looks pretty. Doesn't look like the Doom I wanted to see.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Just make it faster, please.

 

[soulassssns]

Chaos, tons of enemies, fast and frenetic game play that combines speed, accuracy, and precision. You've played DOOM before I hope?

The finishers while cool, also slow the pace.

More Doom 3. That's not bad, but not what I hoped to see.

This was no doom 3 and how should the finishers be fadt paced?

 

[DALBEN]

YESSSS

 

[Zombegoast]

Didn't knew there was more. The second video was much better and less scripted than the first.

 

[NightShift]

I can't watch it right now. Can any one tell me how bloody it is?

 

[Yoshichan]

Of course and I saw exactly that on screen.

Where was it, exactly? I saw a small glimpse of it in the "hell"-video but it was still nowhere near DOOM 1/2 in every possible way imagine.

 

[Syf]

I just think the melee finishers are gonna get old quickly. The game does look fast though, lots of gibs, a better Doom game than 3 was. And the MP stuff looks good. Still have hope it'll be a solid game.

 

[qa_engineer]

Definitely running on a ultra high end PC. Downgrades incoming for consoles. Looks like it will be fun for a couple of hours and then passed over for me merging else.

 

[Ionic]

This was no doom 3 and how should the finishers be fadt paced?

Ideally they just wouldn't be there I guess. At the very least, as long as we can turn off the color indication and just opt to shoot them again I'm satisfied.

 

[Woorloog]

Hopefully the chainsaw will have non-finisher alt-fire (it looked like weapons have alt-fires), continuous damage like in the original, for faster chainsawing.

 

[Thermite]

I thought it looked fucking awesome. It needed a little more enemies on screen, the movement could have maybe been a little faster, and the chainsaw kills need to not be a cutscene type kill, but otherwise I thought it looked really solid. I'm thoroughly hyped for a shooter for the first time in years.

 

[SmokyDave]

It does look great. Plenty of cool effects and techniques.

And that appears to be the vast majority of what you are doing.

Looking.

They ain't called audio games.

I like cinematic flourishes personally. I'd bet that if you don't want to see finishers you don't have to. Just keep filling your target with bullets until it pops.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

I can't watch it right now. Can any one tell me how bloody it is?

There are plenty of gruesome executions, and the chainsaw is pretty bloody. Both slow down the pace of the game though.

 

[Rephin]

dat chainsaw doe

I'm ready for this and a return to health-based arena-style combat.

 

[Cow Mengde]

The walk animation looks weird. Looks more like the character is gliding or sliding across the floor. Hey, at least I can see the graphics now. That's an improvement, right?

 

[aerts1js]

Looked so damn slow.

 

[KittenMaster]

The takedowns are tastefully done at least. I also liked DOOM guy's portrayal as a quiet man that is just going about his day.

Disappointed in the level layout they shown though. Basically a less cramped but still very linear DOOM 3 with more stuff to kill. Still looks fun to play.

 

[BlackNinja]

Chainsaw will be my friend. Graphics aren't that impressive, but they aren't horrible either. Love the physics and smoke/fire FX.

 

[abracadaver]

Day 1

I want to pre order NOW

Make it 200€ and take my money

Give me at least 3 season passes to buy. I want everything DOOM


Fuck Call of Duty and the rest. I want this

 

[LookAtMeGo]

That first shootout looked incredible. Imso excited for this. Hopefully we see a lot of different enemy types, I can't wait to see the bosses in this. That one at the end was HUGE!!

 

[RyudBoy]

Need a direct feed video, stat.

 

[Fury451]

This was no doom 3 and how should the finishers be fadt paced?

Pre-baked finishers always slow the pace. Not having them would be a good start.

 

[ffejeromdiks]

Hmm, I dunno.

At first glance, it looks like they sacrificed all the tension, atmosphere and scariness of Doom 3 in order to cater to the Halo crowd. Since when did the Doom marine have power armor?

Really?...since Doom 1.

It's more like they sacrificed all the tension, atmosphere and scariness of Doom 3 to be more like Doom.

 

[BrikHog]

Man, I thought the game looked fantastic!

Although the reception seems mixed.

This seems like a game you have to demo/beta before giving final judgement.

Still better than doom3.

 

[Rex Griswold]

Listening to "Let It Go" with my daughter while watching is trailer on mute. Life, man.

Thank you for this.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Who are these people saying this does not look good?

Stop. Just stop lying. People have straight up lost it, and your hate is really transparent.

The sounds and atmosphere, amazing DOF, all those various kills!!!

Spoiler

THAT MOTHERFUCKING CHAINSAW THO!!!

 

[Talamius]

This was no doom 3 and how should the finishers be fadt paced?

Only have them while Berserker is active would be a good start.

 

[Toxi]

Pre-baked finishers always slow the pace. Not having them would be a good start.

Agreed. Maybe have them for rare special occasions, but certainly not in the middle of normal gameplay at the current speed.

Hmm, I dunno.

The series was never about overpowering the forces of hell with your futuristic technology and superhuman abilities. It's about surviving a terrifying invasion and somehow emerging victorious against overwhelming odds.

The player looks more intimidating than any of the demons they showed.

Dude, have you played the first two Doom games? They're scary, but you're hardly portrayed as defenseless.

 

[wenis]

The game sped up in hell. It was rad. I'm ready for more fuckin DOOM.

 

[Shredderi]

Finishers look kinda cool but they really do seem to slow down the run'n'gun action. Looked a little slow but kinda good.

 

[CaptainofIndustry]

This looks fucking great.

 

[flaxknuckles]

I don't remember the last time I've been so let down from a preview after being super-hyped for something. That was some boring shit. Slow as hell with stupid glowing enemies and dumb cinematic kills and rote-looking level design. Looks like Call of Duty with demons and no iron-sights. Hopefully the game is actually better than it looks in this demo.

 

[ghst]

consoles really redefined the word fast.

looks boring. rather just play doom again.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Looks really fun. I know they have a lot of time to get it right, but looks great.

 

[Simply Sami]

Who are these people saying this does not look good?

Stop. Just stop lying. People have straight up lost it, and your hate is really transparent.

The sounds and atmosphere, amazing DOF, all those various kills!!! Wow!

It's called having an opinion.

 

[Lt.Chips]

Guys, aside from the slow pace of the game, I'm hating the sound effects on this new Doom. What's with that wimpy pew pew sound the plasma rifle makes? Also, the sound the Mancubus makes is just pathetic. The only sound I kinda liked was the classic door opening sound, but even that became tame.

I dont remember that that i could kill demons etc in CoD. Cool.

 

[Karspankey]

Yall want a faster Doom? Make it in the editor :3

 

[Fury451]

Only have them while Berserker is active would be a good start.

This would also be acceptable.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Snap map looks cool. Game play looks too slow and generally looks boring.

 

[∀ Narayan]

I think this shows potential to be a fun game. It's been awhile since I've really been interested in a first-person shooter. RAGE had some excellent gameplay. I think this could definitely surpass if the development team plays their cards right.

 

[MrDoctor]

If DOOM Was Done Today

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

I dont remember that that i could kill demons etc in CoD. Cool.

You could kill zombies

 

[SkyTurnsRed]

The Hell level looked nuts. Are we watching the same video, GAF?

 

[Soltype]

Yeah I not seeing the speed either, the only thing I noticed was the bad analog aiming.
