I'm pumped for this, the combat looks great, looks like the atmosphere will be fun, here's hoping there's some memorable design and flow to the campaign. And there's always SnapMap, which is cool. I'd love it if this has a few brief cutscenes, like the role the text screens between episodes had in Doom. If it has an ending as memorable as Doom's that'd be an accomplishment too. Gwyrgyn Blood posted:I don't have a whole lot of faith that this will be particularly great but I'm really hoping I'm wrong about that. The multiplayer is by a different developer than the campaign for the record. If the multi is good to me that'll be a bonus. Zaphod42 posted:Will this be a good game, or Duke Nukem Forever all over again? You be the judge. Same thing. Also for the record, id software was acquired not folded, so we can still say this is from id software. It'd be like saying Kojima Productions' next game is by Sony otherwise.

Zaphod42 posted:Id in 2009 was still Id. In 2014 though they were gone. I know none of the founders are there, but we can still refer to the team called id software as id software right? Their logo is on it etc. And I had heard a lot of people from Doom 3 were still on this? Maybe in the credits there will even be some guy from the Quake 2 team or something. I know it's not "id classic", but I'd want to know a bit more about specifically who's there and whatnot before I'd say they may as well not exist anymore. Was there a mass exodus or something? I hadn't heard about that happening.

halwain posted:I really wanted my old school doom experience interrupted every 5 seconds by a melee execution. Have you heard of the "Tyson" style of Doom speedrunning? Some oldschool Doomers are into that, lots of punching demons in the face etc. I prefer shooting personally, just playing demon's advocate here. Since this is a shooter I'm guessing the ratio of shooting will be a lot higher than in the minute long trailer, they probably just wanna focus on the flashy stuff. blackguy32 posted:The real question is, are they going to give Doomguy his atrocious haircut from the Doom 2 cover?

program666 posted:old doom's melee attacks are leaps and bounds better than a cutscene I agree. I played a lot of MGSV and stuff like choking somebody out probably takes longer than it does to saw a demon in half in Doom 4. A lot of games have us do things that take more time and are less entertaining than the Doom fatalities, I'm just guessing it won't be as overbearing as the teasers may imply. You have to search drawers and tables for bullets and stuff in Bioshock (and Fallout is a garbage collector sim), you just get used to the time you're wasting on that stuff, at least here it's entertaining.

LORD OF BUTT posted:...generally FPS games still have those nowadays? Even the Call of Duty games have modes like what you're describing (or at least they did up to BLOPS 2, I kinda checked out after). Those are kind of a different beast with all the leveling up and unlocking weapons and sights etc though. Worst thing to happen to multiplayer in my book.

Broose posted:When do I get to use my beta code that I got with my pre-purchase of Wolfenstein: TNO? There's definitely an art to FPS level design, feels like the genre could use more influence from the classics these days. Like you said, stuff like Painkiller and Serious Sam just doesn't have level design as interesting as the best Doom maps (plus Duke 3D and Quake maps I'd add). Levels that are fun to traverse, some open areas, some tighter areas, all elegantly leading back to where you need to go and giving you areas to explore etc. That said, this game could have some of that, we haven't really seen much. At least I can tell from the glimpses we've seen that it has some interesting areas with multiple heights and areas spiraling around etc. Seems like it could be a step in the right direction compared to the straight linear path level design we see these days. Will have to wait and see. As for tons and tons of monsters, I don't think that's always needed, or what makes Doom. If you can't make an encounter interesting with say 8 enemies, the monsters probably aren't very interesting. Even having four or five engage you at once could be hectic if the AI is good.

Xenomrph posted:So if I want to play Final Doom and Master Levels Of Doom 2, am I better off doing the Steam/Dosbox version, or going with a source port? I recommend source ports, I love GZDoom myself. You can set various lighting settings, some of them looks a lot like the original software renderer. Do you like mouse aiming, looking up and down? I do, so the feel of GZDoom is the best for me. You can also play GZDoom in software renderer, or just use ZDoom. Or there's a more oldschool-ish styed one called ChocolateDoom. So you could probably get what you're looking for in a source port, and they don't change the textures or anything (as long as you choose unfiltered textures in the options)

I also really dig Doom 3, though I'd love to see more 90s FPS design stuff that got lost along the way make a comeback too. Like levels with a few directions to explore, faster pace, etc. Ultra-Violence levels where you have a room with 20 Pinky Demons or something, that's not what the series is about to me. Or at least, I'd rather see a bit more of that atmosphere and more creative monster placement.

Xenomrph posted:Related to this, how were the modern Rise of the Triad and Shadow Warrior remakes? I own both on Steam but haven't had a chance to play them yet - my PC largely poo poo the bed and I haven't been able to rebuild it yet due to other expenses. The Shadow Warrior remake is a bit more like Painkiller in style, big open arenas etc. The ROTT remake is okay, it's a bit oldschoolish in design though it has a bunch of crazy jumping puzzles with traps that can get a bit annoying. Neither one really captures 90s FPS design for me.

You left out Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Half-Life 2, etc but my guess is level design is not one of your key thingies if you're listing Blops. Or maybe you're talking multiplayer mainly? For multiplayer my ol' favs are Action Half-Life and Quake 2, for the record.

Overbite posted:There's something about the marketing for this, with its focus on violence, and all the glory kills and slamming a corpses face into an eye scanner that makes Doom 4 come across as trying too hard to be cool and edgy but actually being kind of embarrassing, like its the Guy Fieri of first person shooters. Who would find this edgy in 2016, especially in a game with cartoony demons? From my perspective you're misreading this, and the jedi are evil also. I think fun is the tone they're looking for, at least to fans of stuff like cheesy horror movies and heavy metal style etc.

Overbite posted:i dunno, I'm not into ultra violence and gore like I was when I was a wee boy. I thought the new MK took it too far and I don't really like the glory kills. The way I look at it, even something like The Division is trying harder to be "cool and edgy" than DOOM. Doom isn't taking itself as seriously. I'm not sure what it is in particular about larger than life fantasy violence you find incredibly immature, but I think it's in better taste than shooting looters in the head or whatever. (Just to play demon's advocate, I'm of course not offended by The Division, it's a decent game)

Plus when you're playing these recent hard as hell user wads, I could use any advantage I can get. Though I respect the pro keyboard only players out there. I wonder if anybody will try to play new Doom keyboard only style. I'll bet it's doable, well maybe it would require tweaking or xpadder style binding wackiness if it has no look keys.

Technically speaking, the multiplayer mode by an external team isn't the same thing as the single-player campaign by id software, so you're not trying the main part they've been working on. I'm also not sure how you already know you don't like it, since we haven't seen a whole lot of the campaign. Unless you're just talking MP.

The loadouts thing makes sense to me. As they described it, it's just so people don't start out wandering around with the weakest weapon. But there are still plenty of spawns around the map you'll want to get a feel for. Sounds good, I don't think it harms the arena shooter genre.
