The funny thing about people praising Wolfenstein: The New Order and Bulletstorm compared to Doom 4 is that the latter two were actually heavily story-driven games with a shitload of dialogue and cutscenes, they were just done well enough that people didn't mind.

Agreed. You can do your own thing and make it appealing. Bulletstorm succeeded in having Trishka, Grayson, and Sarrano's voice actors sounding like they were having a ton of fun insulting one another and hamming up their roles. Wolfenstein had characters who could be sympathetic and endearing, while doing word-building of a lovely new world. The inclusion of a story doesn't mean it needs to be this perfected narrative. It could be, yeah, but it could also just be a chance to cool down and hear Steve Blum and Jennifer Hale scream at each other for a minute or two.

I didn't hate the idea of Doom 3. Hell, for most people in the '90s, the first run of Doom 1 or 2 played out more like survival horror since you didn't know the level layouts as well, and were hurting for ammo/meds since you didn't know all the secrets yet. It was just really repetitive and predictable after a while when I was ready for an imp behind every door, and for every pickup to spawn an enemy. I like where they're going for Xbox Doom One. Hopefully the aliens are a bit more easily-differentiated this time around, though. If they plan to have a mixture of them, I really don't want that Doom 3 issue of every enemy being some tan-colored copy of another.

From everything we've seen so far, this is the case. There's a lot of distinct designs among the various demons.

I think while the game is being designed around being playable on a controller it has no hope of being a good doom game. I play other fpses designed for consoles like bulletstorm or borderlands but they have interesting extras, which doesn't seem to be the case here.

A 6-hour runtime would make it longer than Doom 1 was, though.

As long as it has the "open the door, face hundreds of imps, shoot them all with shotgun" feeling of 1 and 2, and not lovely horror of 3, that's fine game by me.

Show me the people hyped for the Retard franchise still please? This thread barely has 100 posts and the game comes out next month lmfao. The majority of people talking about how bad Retard 4 looks and how they ruined Retard. But whatever, have fun with a player base smaller than Evolve lmfao.

Well it doesn't have any of my interest (someone who doesn't give a poo poo about Doom) and it's alienated people who actually for some reason do give a poo poo about Doom by not being Doom-y enough. So who precisely is the demographic here? Looks like yet another modern remake of a lovely nostalgia series that doesn't pay attention to why people like the original game. I predict middling sales.

tbh from the trailers and gameplay, although slow it does look kinda fun. But I'll probably still wait til in the future when the game is like $5 cause I don't trust bethesda to make a good game. Whens the last time they made a good game, morrowind?

Doom 3 wasn't anything to write home about gameplay wise, but the campaign was fun enough to play through as a graphical showcase. It had extremely impressive lighting for 2004. That said, Half Life 2 wound up being the real show stealer that year and Valve put Carmack to shame with the Source engine. What it lacked in advanced shading the Source engine more than made up for with its far more advanced facial rendering and realistic textures.

Where are you getting this from? Most of the guys at Doomworld seem to love it, apart from the very few spergs who want a 1:1 remake of Doom 1.

I've thought about it actually, but I'm worried they'd think it's dumb old gay stuff for dumb old gay men, and I don't know if I could look them in the eye after that.

You wont be able to play online then so be sure to install Quake Arena along side it and use a controller.
