How hard could it be to update DOOM with some new graphics. do that and little else, and itd be great

Doom's quirks were caused by technical limitations that we can thankfully move past now.

Theres hardly any monsters in the trailer compared to the old dooms and everything is brown and the executions are a stupid idea.

They follow the good old "quality > quantity" adage, both in terms of monster numbers and execution variety. Nothing wrong with that.

We already have Serious Sam 3 for mindless monsterfests. If Doom focuses on Fear-style highly intelligent but low enemy count encounters, I will be very happy.

"The standard class loadouts pack a punch, too. Either prior to starting a match or after every death, the player can pick from an Assault, Sniper, or Ambusher class. Two custom loadout options are also available. The Assault class consists of a rocket launcher, plasma rifle, and frag grenade. The Sniper has a vortex rifle, super shotgun, and personal teleporter (an item I sadly did not put to the test). The Ambusher tows a static cannon (a multiplayer-only weapon), repeater, and frag grenade."

"id Software won’t provide any additional modding tools other than SnapMap."

"SnapMap’s capabilities are limited. Players won’t be able to create outdoor spaces with SnapMap and they won’t be able to create large open spaces like in the opening of the Doom demo. In short, SnapMap only does smaller interior spaces"

Awesome. This is perfect to get newbies in the door, and help them stay to increase there skills. I'm detecting some vibes that the people here think this is a bad thing somehow? Oh wait... Just noticed I'm in the Imp Zone where everyone hates fun and wants new players to be tormented for an eternity.

I agree, newbies need an FPS in which they can get their bearings before making the jump to Call of Duty, or even Halo for the particularly reckless ones.

D44M is a gift that keeps on giving. I'm glad my faith in Bethesda's ability to handle the series was rewarded.

Unfortunately I didn't make it into the alpha. :(

At least I can rewatch the trailer and ponder the implications of their bold choice to remove player knockback from the rocket launcher blasts.

There's like 3 good arena shooters and the rest are all clones of one of those 3 because this genre is somehow full of less original developers than MOBAs.

Hiding behind cover is better than furiously ripping demons and zombies?

Hiding behind cover (except it's not really waist-high cover but parts of the skatepark that aren't as open as the others) and glory killing an isolated monster is essentially how it work on higher difficulties (because if you do it in the open you get blasted for more damage than you healed), and at least health regen has the upside of not tying another important resource (ammo) to it.

On top of that, given that the ranged attacks are not hitscan but projectiles and that the monsters are supposed to be agile and actively hunt you through the skatepark, not only would you be able to regenerate health in the open as long as you dodge properly, but hiding to regenerate would have downsides it doesn't have in games like CoD.

I don't think health regeneration is inherently bad but no this is an argument for how bad glory kills are.
