Yes, it's hardly anything to go on, but it certainly got me excited for E3.

I've been waiting for this game since Doom 3.




So yeah, general doom 4 thread. Who else wants?

Yay, finally. I can't wait to see what the id team managed to do this time. It's still being developed by id software, isn't it?

Interesting take on the Revenant.



I'm wondering how fast paced it will be. Certainly they claimed they will be getting back to the original feel of the game.

Been recently enjoying Brutal Doom and v.20 is out soon.

Doom 4 trailer is lame.

Brutal Doom? Gotta try that...


EDIT: Tried Brutal Doom...

I'm quite interested in this. But what's the deal with Bethesda doing this and not I.D? They bought them out or something else?

Yes, id Software is part of Bethesda Publishing since 2009.
The "trailer" is more than dissapointing, wouldn't even call it a trailer. Well, ahve to wait till E3.

I suppose you don't understand what a Teaser is? It's a trailer for a trailer.

So, another tech demo by id, or will it finally be a good game as well, now that all of the old blood is finally gone?

If you are into old-school inspired modern shooters, I cannot recommend Shadow Warrior enough. I have been having tons of fun with it lately.
For some (Lo) Wang action: http://store.steampowered.com/app/233130/ .
Actually deserve a thread of its own, I should create one soon.
Yes, it is as good as it looks on the trailer.

I havent played a Doom game since....well Doom. Should I be excitied? Were others good?

I never understood the hate on Doom 3. It was an excellent game.

I also thoroughly enjoyed Rage (untill the ending anyway).

DOOM 3 got really repetitive really fast.

I'm playing through RAGE again now that it finally runs properly on my PC. It's also awfully generic...

Hello player, you must join the [RESISTANCE] and help fight the [AUTHORITY] for a better tomorrow. Here's a boring briefing from your [RESISTANCE] leader [STEVE BLUM], who will be replacing the equally bland character voiced by [JOHN GOODMAN] who we decided to put on the bus once you were done with the tutorial section.

Shadow Warrior though, I had way too much fun with that. The game wasn't aiming high, wasn't even trying to take itself serious, something the protagonist more than once acknowledged. It's a delightful reminder of the games they did back then, complete with stupid, over the top one-liners.

Best one-liner has got to be..

Never noticed that in Doom 3. And I never said Rage had good writing, I just enjoyed the gameplay.

RAGE certainly has its moments, but nothing so far that really jumps out at me. It's a run of the mill shooter really, it could do with some beefier weapons and better level design, especially if they expect us to run through each level at least twice!

My main issue with RAGE is that it tried to be, like, 4 games in one, and all of those games suffered for it.

If they wanted to make it a Mad Max driving game, where you ran races, fought bandits and raiders, and spent copious bucks/time on upgrading/replacing your car... then do that.

If they wanted a Wastelands-esque shooter in a post-apocalyptic future? Then do that.

If they wanted a Fallout-esque FPS-RPG? Then do that.

A FEAR-esque sci-fi/supernatural FPS? Then do that.

Instead, they tried all of these things and had to sacrifice (IMO) so much Dev-time to make all these things work that they simply couldn't devote the resources to making all of these things truly stand out, so they played it safe and just scratched the surface of each part.

There were some real funny ones in the cookies too.

Well.. I think Doom 2 was really regarded as the seminal game in the series, took everything from the original and made it better.

I remember there being massive fuss when Quake was released as well; the multiplayer was certainly incredible when it first appeared, although it didn't strike me as much as some of the other games that were coming around at that time and seemed a lot more creative (Mario 64, KNiGHTS etc.)

I highly recommend reading Masters of DOOM, which goes into the founding of id and follows the company and the two John's right up until a decade or so ago. It nicely goes into the Quake thing and the awesomeness surrounding it.

Same. I had a lot of fun with Doom 3, more than I did with Half Life 2 at that time. It could have stood to lose, say, the entire Alpha Labs section, which was IIRC 6-7 levels that added nothing at all, and still had an impressive run time, but overall I thought it was a fantastic shooter.

The complaints at the time seemed to boil down to id changing what Doom was, rather than the game itself being bad.

Wow. Brutal Doom has improved a bit since I played it last.

That may have to happen.

OT: I like the teaser. The atmosphere of Doom 3 was great, but it didn't have the soul of a Doom game.

It didn't have the soul of a Doom game because it was in Full 3D and you didn't sprint at Mach 2. I don't think you can do that justice in a modern shooter.

I actually just saw this last week and started playing Doom 3 again . I loved Doom 3 and can't wait until 4 comes out. On a side note I think I too will have to try Brutal Doom...

Welp, saw all the gameplay from the conference and... welp, I'm FAR more excited about this then Fallout 4. That looked amazing.

If you missed it:

It does look more like Doom than Doom 3.
You can actually see for once.

At the risk of imploding the internet by using the same meme in the same thread...

GFX look great but I have a feeling 20 or 30 levels of various gore kills might get tedious quick.....
I hope theres bit more to it with a few decent puzzles, dynamic boss fights and level design.
Othewise....hmmm.

Could do without the idiotic audience reactions with these unveilings.

I dunno, I appreciated the guy that shouted "BEARD!" during the Fallout 4 character creation

Also, OP, please change the title to DOOM in all caps please, it's the only way to write the name of this game.

Fixed.

Man, I've watched the gameplay videos at least 10 times now. And I'm still getting more excited. It's been a LONG time since I was this hyped.
