HELL YEAH

 

[mortal]

Yeah, this looks pretty sick. The weapons will be a lot of fun.

 

[LectureMaster]

Out of all trailers showed today, I appreciate this one most, as it is pure gameplay showcasing, no pointless cinematic fillers.

 

[Apocryphon]

So Argent D’Nur during the Time of Strife and the invasion of Hells forces as expected. That puts it between Doom 64 and 2016.

Hugo Martin said they would never make the same game mechanically twice, so I expect it to be different to Eternal. Clearly they’re keeping much of the art direction intact from Eternal and TAG. Hopefully it pushes the enemy count to the levels found in the original games and if they include platforming it will be less like Eternal and more like Quake.

New weapons look pretty good. Revised enemy designs look fine. I’m interested to see some interior spaces and to get an extended look at the flow of combat, but for now I’m cautiously optimistic. I haven’t loved where they have taken the lore with Eternal so I’m hoping this can kind of turn that around for me.

I’m still disappointed it’s not a 2016 style reboot for Quake but it’s a game I’ll definitely play and no doubt enjoy. Excited to see more.

 

[Laptop1991]

Looks good so far, i'd like to see if it's more 2016 or Eternal to make up my mind.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Looks like its a sequel since he has the same base as in Doom Eternal and he uses the mech that was being partially built. Looks open World kinda like Halo Infinite which im very skeptical, but that being said all fucking IN.

 

[darth.shrimp]

I gotta get back to Eternal to see if I can like it, it was cool until the resources management hit me, thing is that I didn't know the chainsaw just had a cooldown and could be kinda spammed so knowing that maybe I won't find the same issues.

That made me remember I bought Eternal some weeks ago when it was like 20 bucks with all DLCs. This one won't release anytime soon anyway so that leaves me some time to finish Boltgun, then try out Eternal... good to know about the chainsaw btw.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

He has a gun that crushes skulls in order to shoot little skull pieces.

This barely looks like DOOM anymore, but whatever, I bet it'll be fun as hell to play.

Not gonna lie...it is pretty metal as fuck

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

The PS2 Turok Evolution flying section worries me as well as the "we have Mick Gordon at home" sound track.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Not gonna lie...it is pretty metal as fuck

Hell yeah. There's also a nail gun to impale enemies on walls, just like in Painkiller, FEAR or HL2... Love that stuff.

 

[Badlucktroll]

look like good gaem

 

[jonnyXx]

Can't freaking wait.

 

[makaveli60]

I would have preffered letting it rest a bit and a Quake reboot instead, but this trailer is metal AF

 

[Jack Package]

This looks wild, I'm in day one, but this is about as close to DOOM as My Little Pony at this point.

 

[cyberheater]

The graphics are insane.

 

[Atrus]

I’m not a big fan of giant demon mecha and flying dragon sections in a Doom game so well seen how it all plays out.

 

[Mozzarella]

Great trailer, this is one of the best that was shown.

 

[adamsapple]

That fucking gun is grinding up skulls and shooting out tiny bits of it in a spread

 

[Montauk]

Didn’t like this tbh. They’re taking it too far. This feels very “big fan of Doom” Redditor.

 

[Gp1]

In my time medieval Doom used to be called Quake but whatever...

I want a gameplay closer to 2016, not the "rhythm shooter" like Eternal.

 

[M1chl]

Think its the "metal" art style and weird looking weapons. Though Personally it reminds me more of Necrovison. Especially the final parts of that game set in the demon world.

Its so nice to see this game here. I loved Necrovision back then and I still find "consider your sins forgiven" after you kill an enemy really funny.

 

[clarky]

Looked more 2016 and less Eternal, which suits me just fine.

Looked great.

Aslo good to see them sticking to their word and keeping existing franchises multiplatform, as it should be.

 

[Montauk]

This just looks weird and I really didn’t like it. I expected to be excited but man they’re just like “flanderising” Doom.

Weird animation, vehicles, taking the whacky stylings too far. Not a fan.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Looks good and I'm glad it's coming to PS5 as well. Hopefully it will play more like Doom 2016 and less like Eternal.

 

[midnightAI]

Game of the show? looked awesome, love the Doom games though (ever since the original) so a bit of bias

 

[Bert Big Balls]

2016 and Eternal are some of the best games I've ever played. This looks absolutely unreal. The skull shooter, the flying, holy FUCK I can't wait.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I’m not a big fan of giant demon mecha and flying dragon sections in a Doom game so well seen how it all plays out.

Yeah wasn't a big of those scenes. Hopefully their a short scenes meant to spice things up a bit and not some major game mechanics.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Kurimao]

 

[Dr. Claus]

Don’t see how Eternal’s gameplay is anything like rock, paper, and scissors but I digress.

Dark Ages looks nuts, I’m definitely craving to boot up Eternal now after seeing it lol.

Most of the Eternal criticism I see are from players who were shit at the game and needed to complain because they never learned to "git gud".

Dark Ages looks really good, but curious where it stands in the timeline? As far as I know we have DOOM, DOOM II, DOOM 64 - DOOM 2016 and DOOM Eternal in that order. Maybe between 64 and DOOM 2016?

 

[SaintALia]

Looking pretty damn sweet. Doom continues to deliver.

 

[Bartski]

Looks great. I wanna hear more about the general direction, as much as I loved 2016 I did not like where they took it in Eternal... but this looks like they're toning down cartoonyness in favor of grit which is what I wanna see, and please no more monkey bars. FPS is back on the menu!

 

[jufonuk]

Another one coming to PS5

And the switch.

Right ?

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Just looks like Doom but in castles.

Eternal wss great, but methinks it's too soon for another Doom.

Made me really miss Wolfenstein.

Wolfenstein 2099 would go harder than Doom Camelot.

 

[Dr. Claus]

And the switch.

Right ?

Probably Switch 2. I mean they got Eternal and 2016 running on Switch IIRC?

 

[Robb]

Loved the trailer, but the gameplay in these games are way too hectic for my tastes. Hope it turns out great though!

 

[jufonuk]

Probably Switch 2. I mean they got Eternal and 2016 running on Switch IIRC?

Yeh I hope so. I also hope the rumours of switch games playing in it and your digital store porting over are true as I’ve got all the doom games on switch.

 

[Montauk]

This looks extremely cartoony.

I’m thinking at the beginning like a skyward sword. Maybe they retcon Quake in there somehow.

 

[adamsapple]

 

[Knightime_X]

Another one coming to PS5

 

[DenchDeckard]

This looks incredible!

 

[amigastar]

Looks great, but why 2025, though?

 

[Putonahappyface]

Holy shit.🫨

 

[Apocryphon]

Looks like its a sequel since he has the same base as in Doom Eternal and he uses the mech that was being partially built. Looks open World kinda like Halo Infinite which im very skeptical, but that being said all fucking IN.

It literally says..

“Before he became a hero he was the super weapon for gods and kings”.

It isn’t a sequel. It’s almost certainly set between Doom 64 and 2016 during the invasion of Argent D’Nur. The “base” he launches from could absolutely be one of the Argenta floating castles like the one he uses in Eternal. That technology was gifted to the Argenta by the Maykrs. The “Gods” referred to in the opening text is likely the Maykrs and the “Kings” is likely a reference to King Novik.

I don’t think we’ll see any UAC cyber-enhanced demons, and I don’t think we’ll see the BFG. I think we’ll get the Unmaykr in the BFG’s place, see the Betrayer sacrifice the Wraiths to Hell, go to Illkana and the Umbral Plains, see the battle with the Titan, and the subsequent entombment of the Slayer in the Blood Temples that precedes Doom 2016.

 

[The artful mincer]

Looks amazing.

It doesn't look like eternal or 2016 it's it own thing.

He literally uses the mech from the base unless the mech from the base was destroyed because of the events of the Dark Ages in which case it would make sense. I know it's prolly a prequel, but my mind just wants it to be a sequel, like something happens and he gets transported back in time. Guess will see.

 

[Bartski]

This looks extremely cartoony.

not as much as Eternal tho or so it would seem. I guess a lot of it is in the color palet, monsters don't explode as rainbow pinatas and such

 

[CrustyBritches]

The art design is like Eternal, but gameplay looks totally different. Gave me a bit of a Gears of War feel.

 

[Astral Dog]

should be interesting to see how the Switch 2 version compares
