Because Bethesda's marketing department has their heads buried in the loving sand.

They seriously could have saved themselves weeks/months of bad publicity by just releasing real actual gameplay footage like this instead of whatever weak poo poo they squeezed out

If there's anything more important than my ego around, I want it caught and shot now.

The fact that we still have to rely on cam footage of an NVIDIA event to even see that this is how the game is capable of looking and Bethesda hasn't even put out a single trailer like this is unbelievable.

Some random Nvidia technicians apparently understand Doom way better than every single person at Bethesda.

Reminds me of Bandai-Namco completely misunderstanding the Dark Souls series and what made it popular. Most publishers are incredibly out of touch with their own products.

I prefer an FOV like 90 or something. Super high FOV makes games look too fisheye lens to me. Call me Shirley. This game looked good to me from the get-go, and I love the Beta, so I blame Bob Dole for the kneejerk negative reactions some have.

As much of a dogpile of it is, imagine if that footage was what was pushed for Doom PC users. Less glory kills actually make the game look more action-packed and violent, which seemed to be what the train of finishers was going for.

I have to give Bethesda marketing a little credit here, they're targeting the gaming equivalent of Joe Schmuckateli who can't follow gameplay that fast or will just be intimidated by it, same reason we got lovely box art, it's dumbed down poo poo to appeal to the gaming masses which is probably what's going to make them most of their money. Their real mistake was a failure to anticipate that more discerning gamers would view the previews as representing max level gameplay and underestimating how vocal they'd be about it.

So this is what the game looks like when somebody other than grandma plays it. Neat.

They're complete idiots for not releasing a PC gameplay trailer in parallel with the console footage though.

I am now fully convinced that it's actually Bethesdas marketing department who should be called 'Retard'.


The only thing that's making me worried at this point is that no advance review codes have been handed out, who knows, we'll see.

I'm a lot more excited to play this game now.

I love how instantaneous the weapon swapping was. From the video it seemed like you could be holding any weapon, then swapping to and firing any other one (and then swapping back if you wanted) literally as fast as you could press the required buttons. Awesome.

I'm also a fan of the need-based loot drops too.

90 FOV is what I play with in every FPS, that doesn't look like 90 to me... this is some fish eye poo poo.

Unless 90 horizontal doesn't work well at higher resolutions?

FOV 90 was a lot narrower on 4:3 screens than it is on current format monitors.

"Discerning" (:lol:) gamers can be predicted to do four things when it comes to games: complain about trivial things, buy whatever they are complaining about, trash the broader audience out of jealousy, and have very little influence on what happens overall.

Especially when it comes to Bethesda games, who have the art of making fun video games for people who like video games down to a science.

It's interesting to note that Bethesda, the aforementioned developer who knows how make fun video games for people who like video games (and are better at franchises than their original developers), has zero design flaws on par with NV's Cazadore Valley.
