The Kins posted:Neat. Is there an English and/or digital release? Huh? When was this ever a thing? All the scant info about the original Doom 4 is just a non-military human resistance pushing back against a hell invasion.

There wouldn't be much need for organized resistance stuff in the next Doom since doomguy is a demigod and doesn't need anyone help, it's not like you're gonna need a bunch of dudes to storm Omaha beach or anything when you can do it yourself Although it would be funny to see doomguy kick sgt mctalksalot in the face when he starts monologuing about your next mission

i like the idea of mr doomguy getting a nice long-needed rest once he is trapped, also giving the demons a break until he is reactivated in doom4 like a sleeper cell jolted awake by the sounds of hell

It's sort of a Manchurian Candidate situation where he's awakened by a code phrase or something. Some poor zombieman walked past the coffin mumbling "yeah when I get home I'm going to rip and tear that coupon out of the book so I don't forget it..." and it was all downhill from there.

I'm pretty sure that's actually addressed in the game somewhere- no demon was able to take on and permanently kill the doom slayer, so trapping him somewhere that neutralizes his power for all eternity (until the UAC dug him up) was the best they could do.

They shouldn't have let that environmentalist demon give a talk about nukage and the effects it would have on the next generations of demons next door.

Thyrork posted:I'd be game for "The armies of earth against hell" Doom, but please don't make it a loving resistance. I'm okay with us getting our poo poo kicked in for narrative sake but "reeling and regrouping for a counter attack" isn't "shattered remains banded together again for One Last Op." I hate the way the ragtag, underground resistance has become such a fixture in pop culture even when it doesn't make sense. I remember Mass Effect 3 had one of those after the giant, super advanced, unknowable squid-robot aliens who turn organic beings into robot zombies and have a singular goal of killing life attacked earth and I was trying to imagine how the hell it was meant to work in that situation since the game doesn't go into many details, did the reapers lay down lines of railways for partisans to blow up? Was the resistance trying to assassinate giant, nearly indestructible squidbots Reinhard Heydrich style?

the end of Doom 2 2019 will be an imp setting a trap with the bait being "FREE AMMO (DOOMSLAYERS ONLY)" and then he will get caught in a box until the next game.

Once you trap the doom slayer he becomes the next guys problem and that's all that really matters, in hell it's everyone out for themselvesTerminusEst13 posted:I think it'd be cool if Doomguy had a shotgun at some point. Look i know we're spitballing here but this is just crazy talk

Doomguy would never use any guns. The fact that he is unwilling to kill is central to his character. That's why he's always using doomerangs, the doomclaw, and his judo skills. He's only trying to knock the demons out.

The fact that he was going to kill all the demons in his way was deemed a necessary sacrifice. Literally nothing in the game supports this theory, but I still love it.

So I just took D4T out for a spin on KDitD and had a blast. It can be pretty unforgiving -- it has lots of ways to restore health, but even basic enemies chew through it really fast -- but it's also loads of fun. I found a bunch of upgrades to weapons that I didn't have, but I also found the Static Rifle and the grenade launcher upgrade to the shotgun. Anyone have some recommended WADs to play with D4T? I could always try out Doom 2 or Plutonia/TNT but I feel like map design sensitivities have evolved a bunch since then.

Some of the backstory things you find in the game say that the demons made a super titan demon to surpass all others, only for it to prove to not be a match for Doomguy. So yeah, it was sort of a last ditch effort type of thing. Maybe they even planned to kill him with it, but once it didn't take they used demon poo poo to help keep him sealed in.

They just need to do Doom 2016's gameplay set in ruined cities turning into hellscapes and throw in a few set pieces like jets doing a bombing run to help our doomguy but then they get all destroyed by a huge demon that you then go kill etc etc
