If anyone actually buys one of these and gets The Keeper (the safe head guy from The Evil Within), I will buy it off of you for the price you paid for it. I want the little guy but they're blind boxes so the chance of getting one is pretty low and I don't wanna unbox 50 Dovahkins to get it.

Likewise for Keen. I always liked his design.

It also doesn't appear they have the Dovahkiin, just some guy cosplaying her. :colbert:

Aaaand just now I've figured out that the guy next to revenant is supposed to be Blazko. Goddamn those cutified redesigns are bad. Keen is still awesome.

So, where's dog from? Because I don't think it's from Reelism Wolfenstein?

Top row is Doomguy, Blazko, a Revenant
Middle row is The Keeper, a dovahkiin, Alduin, Commander Keen, Dogmeat, uh... an elder scrolls character of some kind, and John Fallout (4)
Lower row is another Dovahkiin (John Skyrim), a BOS soldier from the bad Fallout games, New Corvo from Dishonored 2, Garrett: Incredibly Not Subtle Thief 4 Armor Edition, and Corvo Original Flavor

edit: As a die-hard fan of The Evil Within I'm glad Bethsoft considers it one of their best but they have a thousand figures of The Keeper and none of the main characters which makes me sad

Bethesda weren't responsible for unleashing Thi4f on the world, so that's actually Emily Kaldwin, some kind of TES character I guess, and Corvo.

Nope it's Garrett, here's the outfit they modeled the figure after:



Although I have no idea where this concept came from because it doesn't even appear in the game.

edit: Oh wait it's from elder scrolls online, it came up as a thi4f thing when I searched for thi4f so I assumed that's where it was from. yeah that would make more sense and is also disappointing. so much elder scrolls representation

I feel like doomguy shutting up Optimus Prime was fairly satisfying and an excellent indicator for the rest of the game. :black101:

Also a very short intro cut scene to murder ratio. More games should really do this.

Will do. I like maps that have a constraint on their design like that, it encourages creativity with what you have to work with I think.

Lipstick Apathy
The biggest thing with rf1024 is that the maps actually feel small, which is not always the case for 1024 maps. A lot of mappers seem to think the goal is to just make a normal sized map and cut down on movement space.

Also the new weapons. I'm a sucker for palette swaps and small cosmetic changes.

rf1024 best 1024 wad (and great wad period). Map 20 is my favorite and also least favorite, it's frustratingly awesome. There is a Map 33, 3 secret levels.

Started playing Ancient Aliens, great so far (after 2 maps).

I really liked the two 10 sector competition wads. ( https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/10sector and https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/10secto2 )

It'd be nice if someone ran a new competition for 10 sector wads, 15 years later on. There was some really impressive use with just 10 sectors in these two, and I just know it could be even better now.

I played through Congestion (I think, there's so many of those 1024 wads) and it was good as hell. Everyone is praising rf so I probably should check it out especially now that I'm on my "short 'n sweet maps" kick.

Roboman is apparently this guy, who hasn't done anything I know except Reinhardt in Overwatch, where he doesn't sound anything like his DO4M character: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0210875/

First Impressions of new Doom:
It does feel plenty fast, especially with the FOV at 130.:D The classic Doom areas make this feeling disappear plenty quick, since I can actually compare it to said game.
The weapons so far all feel pretty fantastic.
SECRET HUNTING.:argh:
Little Doomguy collectibles are the most adorable thing.

You have been called out, in the ways of old.
A guy on reddit summed it up pretty well, Doom 2016 is the Mad Max of video games. Everybody was expecting the standard remake/reboot action fare that rode off the name but turns out it's one of the best offerings of the year and stands with the original(s).
It's my personal GOTY.

Man, I was hoping it would sort of disappoint, since I have absolutely no way to play it any time soon (PC's not good enough, don't have an Xbone or PS4). Dammit! Why you gotta be good, Do4m? Why?

In truth, I'm really glad that it's doing well and they seemed to have made a solid entry into the series. Looking forward to at least seeing where the modding and map-making goes from here. For now, there are still a TON of mods and WADs I haven't played for the originals, so I should probably make a checklist and see them all before even bothering with trying to find a way to play the new game.

From level one:


I guess the lighting was broken in those pre-release videos, 'cuz it looks fine to me.

The switch to open the Green Armor room didn't work, but the switch to lower the platforms the zombies were standing on did. The zombies, on the other hand, kinda stood in mid-air for a while, before the game recognized something was up and snapped them back to the ground. Amusing.


EDIT: Yeah, okay, what this unlocked is actually pretty cool

Not just a snippet, not a SnapMap recreation, but the entirety of MAP01 proper, down to playing D_RUNNIN on an SC-55 - or at least, the Microsoft facsimile of one - the entire time.

poo poo's really hard, though. If you thought playing through MAP01 with Doom 2's peashooter was annoying, try doing it with Doom 4's dinky laser pistol. You could kill Fallen Humans in a bullet or three in Doom 2, but it takes waaay too many in Doom 4, and their shots hit pretty hard too. Charged shots to Glory Kills work pretty nicely, at least, and fortunately, the chainsaw is still there...

Yeah; you only find snippits in the levels themselves, but then you unlock the levels in their entirety with secrets and all on the main menu at that point. Its still kinda silly to play them in the Doom 4 engine, but its nice.

There is one of those secret maps in EVERY level of Doom 4 :) Also the original soundtracks play when you go to those levels, which rules.
