The New DOOM Thread (2016)

[ZagorTeNej]

Shown at QuakeCon.

It is called "DOOM"

IdTech6 1080p@60fps

" Ultrabrutal "
" quick "
" gore "
" no cover mechanic "
" no regenerating health "
" yellow card system in place just with people hands instead of cards "
" gore "
" gore "
" classik enemies "
" fast as original doom "
" shoot monsters and crush their heads under your foot"
" gore "

No footage. Zenimax nazi police everywhere.

After New Order looks like ID finally stopped trying to find themselves in new word and do what they should do in first place make proper FPS games.

This sounds a bit too good to be honest (especially "fast as original doom" part, hard to believe that will be the case for a multiplatform release), will believe it when I see it. Any word on level design? Will it be another ultra linear action corridor?

 

[CreamyBlood]

ID is nothing but a name these days. They wouldnt even know how

Exactly. id software died when Bethseda (or Zenimax) bought them. It's just a name. Is anyone still left there? I can't remember the names anymore. Maybe the long-haired guy that turned into a business guy but what would be the point if he's controlled by overlords? I can't see this being any different than any other modern shooter. They wouldn't even know how

And the BD discussion has been interesting, might give it a whirl some day.

 

[TheGreatOne]

Why do they spell it classik?

Because it's brootal to write things in Mortal Kombatese

 

[Astral Rag]

" Ultrabrutal "

Wait and see, hopefully it's not over the top like BD's gore

shoot monsters and crush their heads under your foot

nvm

quick

ok

no cover mechanic

good

no regenerating health

good

yellow card system in place just with people hands instead of cards

what?

classik enemies

hopefully they look less retarded than Doom 3's "classik" enemies

60fps

lol

 

[Cyberarmy]

yellow card system in place just with people hands instead of cards
what?

I think they meant that we rip hands of certain indiviuals (or pick their severed hands from ground) instead of key cards.

 

[Astral Rag]

I know but if they don't use regular keys as well that ripped off hand + scanner mechanic will get old pretty quick.

Now I want to replay Bioforge, at least something good came from reading this thread.

 

[Perkel]

i think it was obvious to anyone

As for speed i also don't see it as fast as original doom. Pads are to imprecise for that.

 

[oddech_wymarlych_swiatow]

At least it's going to be an action focused fps, not survival horror like Doom 3.

BTW what da fuck is with this trend of naming games with titles that were already used, with no additional parts. Why it's Doom and not Doom 4? The same with last Turok, Mortal Kombat, Tomb Raider and so on. It's like pretending original games never existed and only adds confusion.

Why not 4OOM?

They make the original game obsolete

Insufficient light, enemies appearing behind the player, general boredom: such things do not imply the game was planned to be a survival horror. Such things do not mean there was any particular plan to not produce a regular FPS. It's just one of many signals the company sucks at design. For ID it's obvious since 1996.

Doo4?

Thi4f stole my Thief, so will Doo4 doom my Doom?

 

[AngryKobold]

Bloom

 

[Cyberarmy]

Doooom

 

[DraQ]

DooMb.

 

[sser]

Doom looms on the morning gloom, all festooned with the ruin of bloom and the fume of a dying boon that brought Carmack poon and vroom, etched on his tomb, Here Lies JC, may this loon toon soon moon the maroon room.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Dooooood, Where is Mah Bloom?

 

[Luka-boy]

Doomp

 

[Turisas]

Wow, what a great teaser!

Spoiler

Fucking half a second of footage. Goddamnit Bethesda, goddamnit.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Be fair now, that was .75 seconds of footage.

 

[Baron Dupek]

That was enough to give me RAGE flashbacks.
Now I'm sitting wondering - what's worse, this or BDoom. And affraid what to expect with combined inspiration from these games.

 

[Astral Rag]

"Doom" 4 vs Brûtal "Doom" which is more retarded and why? Discuss!!!

edit: MotherMachinae beat me to it.

 

[Riskbreaker]

Now I'm sitting wondering - what's worse, this or BDoom.

I'm actually somewhat surprised at how little fucks I give about either of them.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Looks pretty good actually. But I doubt nuIdSoft still knows how to design a fun shooter.
