The New DOOM Thread (2016)

[Alienman]

This has to be the worst modern take on a game ever. Trying to come up with something.. maybe the latest Sim City game was worse?

 

[Ranselknulf]

What's so hard. Remake D1 or D2 with modern graphics. Hell, don't even claim to make anything new and I bet people would buy it in droves.

 

[vaultboy101]

I would TOTALLY be able to replicate that entire video in game and show it to you all, if only Stinky Pete hadn't put that NDA.

And if only they had larger maps, and if only explosions dealt knockback, and if only you could spectate and record demos, and if only there were acrobatic obstacles that required more than just double jumping in a straight line, and if only I could see what the fuck was going on underneath all the HUD elements and dancing watermark. But who needs any of that when you've got gamepad support and you're adhering to the franchise DNA?

 

[sexbad?]

We have crafted this NDA specifically to protect the franchise DNA from tampering.

A modded 96 game plays better and looks better than this

 

[Astral Rag]

And unbutchered Quake looks even better.

Finishing QTEs in a death match.

Where?

 

[Lyric Suite]

At 1:28, 2:14, 2:40 and 3:12.

 

[Tehdagah]

Cool, but there aren't any QTEs.

this is really cool, seems true to the original design if I'm remembering it correctly

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

The rocket launcher has a detonate button, which offers a great second chance for people who miss their shots but still want to do some damage when they use a gamepad. Or even for Eurotrash like me, who still play on PC and experience stuttering mouse input.

Ok, honest question. Who made this alt ?

 

[Cadmus]

It's Ted Howard, you philistine.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Cool, but there aren't any QTEs.

Yes, they are. They just happen to be in first person.

 

[vaultboy101]

Yes, they are. They just happen to be in first person.

Yes, they are QTEs, but it's unfortunate because they're optional, and in practice players don't use them often. If you miss that QTE, which I don't think is obvious enough yet, then you miss that extra cool, hardcore violence that Doom is known for.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Optional my shit. What happens if you get shot while that animation is playing?

 

[vaultboy101]

Optional my shit. What happens if you get shot while that animation is playing?

I honestly couldn't tell you, because everyone just keeps using rockets like it's Battlefield or something instead of TRUE DOOM. I imagine that, like in any good Doom game, you become temporarily invulnerable when performing a cinematic takedown.

Good DOOM games have cinematic takedowns? Huh, I must've missed that one in DOOM 1.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I believe that was sarcasm.

 

[Caim]

To be fair, that came from a new Codexer who's been shilling so much he'd be a millionaire if he had kept it to himself.

I believe that was sarcasm as well.
You make a pretty good newfag, giving the 2013 vintage a bad name.

 

[tormund]

Funny thing is. he is obviously trolling, but I can easily imagine people on GameFAQs or NeoGAF writing some of that shit with 100% honesty.

 

[Cadmus]

Funny thing is. he is obviously trolling, but I can easily imagine people on GameFAQs or NeoGAF writing some of that shit with 100% honesty.

It's like that old marketing phrase that goes something like "bringing modern features and streamlining the accessibility while staying true to the game's roots"
It's all shit that has nothing to do with reality but people still repeat it.

Probably someone's alt. Don't feed the troll etc. etc.

 

[Berekän]

You people really have no sense of humour or sarcasm.
