I think most of all, I'm disappointed there was no news on the beta. I kind of thought it would be an "available now" thing

Very satisfied by this gameplay.
Health Bar
Armor Bar
Very fast, ( fast is good )
BFG ( yes )
Supershotgun ( yes )
Close instant kills are fast and cool ( Yes )
Chainsaw dacapitation were SUPERB
The 2nd vids with the areas showed how tense those places can be ( again , excellent )
Sharing content is an excellent way to keep the community active
Verdict ( for me ) : Doom looks So freaking excellent

Don't know his name. Gaf educated me on this. The history of BD seems sketchy.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
We can't tell yet. The hell area might just be an arena. Arena shooters, aka go into big room, shoot, repeat - is extremely boring (Painkiller, etc).

This looks SO fucking awesome, leagues ahead of DOOM 3.

Could have been worse, could have been a card game.
Are you kidding me?
They actually managed turn hell into a CORRIDOR!
Jest because you can look left and right, and see a pretty background to look at, does NOT, change the fact you are stuck walking down a path, 5 meters wide, until it opens up into a little arena to kill all the bad guys, and go back onto the 5 meter path.
There is no doom here. You know, Doom, where you had to survive and FIND the exit? Not walk down a hallway power masturbating until you get to the end.
You know what would make a better doom? If you played one of the poor helpless little monsters having to survive the onslought of the OP context sensitive win button marine, until you found a way to escape.

Looks slow and boring. It's hard to come back to classic Doom corridor gameplay after experiencing CS, COD4 and now, Splatoon which is taking the shooter genre to new heights.
Looks solid, really hoping they dont scimp on modding tools.
-graphics are very attractive
-monster in-fighting seems to be back
-levels looked like they might be non linear?
-no irons sights
-lots of projectiles to dodge it looks like
-no cover bullshit
-no hp regen
some worry areas
-are as people have said non distinct enemy designs.
-the plasma rifle isnt doing it for me
-super shotgun sound isnt there nor is it powerful enough.
-not fast enough
-not enough enemies
-scope on the machinegun? that for consoles or something
-I'll reserve judgment of colour pallete until I see more levels
-the enemies glowing blue and red wasnt an effect I liked
overall its a win for now, its rare enough to see a shooter drop health regen & iron sights that kinda defaults it to better than 90% of whats out there.
People were saying they should be taking notes from Machine Games but maybe I didnt play the same Wolfenstein, all kinds of cover shooting and iron sights in that thing witrh sloppy stealth parts to boot.

I wouldn't look to much into that. That's most likely an easy difficulty thing. put it on Hard and the drop rate will probably be like 10% or something

My hype has cooled intensely after that singleplayer trailer. Multiplayer looks like it could still be good, and I love the look of those creation tools.
At least if it was a room, it was a nicely-designed room.
The arena was presumably what he was talking about.
I agree it's not great, but it's still far better than the first area.

All I got from that was if I liked DOOM 1 or 2 I should pick up Brutal DOOM, if I liked Doom 3 I should pick up this new one.
The only thing they got right was the sound of the doors.
EDIT: MOD tools look fun though

Dude on the post show is talking about "arenas". It's not looking good.
BioShock Infinite went the arena route, and it was terrible.

The melee finishers (like Serious Sam 3) are an odd thing to add. Fresh at first, but at the rate you mow down the enemies in this game, these animations are bound to become tiresome rather quickly. Hopefully completely optional.
Ammo and health magnet is a godsend for me. Customizable weapons? Yes please.
Looks nice and bright too.
Gimme.

While watching this I kept thinking to myself "Killing Floor 2 does this better.".
I wish more developers were making generic spunkgargleweewee.
Thanks! Wanted to see this one again -- awesome trailer. Captures the Doom feel really well.

Not a fan of the enemy A.I, but the game looks pretty fun 
Agreed. That's what I was thinking too.
That's what Doom is. It doesn't need anything... extra.
Hopefully this thing won't be saddled with extra.
...
Damn it, now i'm doubting it.

Yup. More enemies, less shots to take them down

My biggest disappointment is the lack of enemies like you said. Two or three on screen? Come on. That's not Doom.
Some people just need to be contrarian for feel the need to find SOMETHING wrong. Nobody is saying this is best game ever, but damn, I don't think it's all that hard or that difficult to swallow your pride and just admit this game looks good. Maybe not your cup of tea, but still damn good.
Hell, I was REALLY impressed.

I can't believe the game is going to look like that. It seriously looked too good. It can't be realtime.

Yeah, this is why I didn't like the new Shadow Warrior. It's just mindless repetition. I at least like it in Serious Sam, but in that game the enemy designs are much more interesting. I almost want to call it lazy, but the arenas at least looked nice.
Hell was a corridor, then a very nicely designed multi-level arena, and then at least one other corridor going out from the arena. It was kinda hard to tell, especially since the level design for the demo is probably just limited to what they needed to show for the demo.

They had a health bar but every enemy dropped insane amounts of health so like yeah okay it's not really a resource to manage so whatever.
I am not okay with melee finishers in a doom game.
It looked slow but smooth which is weird, it didn't ever give me a heart pounding moment or anything.
It looks very eh, also I would have liked if you could keep the visor HUD up.

In the post show, they mentioned there were some monsters you might not have noticed on your first watch. I've found the Cacodemon at 0:30 and the Specter/Pinkie at 4:15 and 4:29 (look closely!) Anybody see others?

The graphics are fantastic and it really has the artistic style of a Doom game. As others have said though, I really hope it follows classic Doom level design and isn't' as linear as most FPS games are these days. It's hard to tell from the demo, and everything was very clearly scripted and made just for E3. Fingers crossed.

Doom 1 and 2 had that too.

So ALL THAT, THOSE INSANE VISUALS AT 1080P/60FPS ON PS4?

They can do that by not programming AI.
If this was a new IP being shown off, criticism would be different. But it's not a new IP, its the sequel to one of the most beloved FPS games ever. DOOM 1+2 played nothing like this. This is heavily scripted, slow paced, and all about gory visceral finishers. Rather than high speed movement and shooting, circle strafing, crowd control, map exploring perfection.
