If the takedowns are high-risk high-reward like in Serious Sam 3 then I have no problem with the mechanic.

Seems like people/AI already delivered so I only drop this.

Talk about a vapid outrage culture.

This level of extreme decline shouldn't be considered normal. It's not an excuse to say it's expected because 2015. That's the problem.

I wonder if the game pauses in multiplayer every time the player needs to switch a weapon. This game seems to be all show, no substance. And the fucking take downs got old for me already just by watching this video. Imagine having to do that shit through out the whole game.

Yep. What's the purpose of that radial gun menu? Lol, it does nothing but hinders the gameplay.

And well, you don't HAVE to do take downs if you don't want to. It might be the optimal way to play but. :M

It looked OK, too bad level design seems to be the usual, shit.

Will we have access to same amount of customization like we did for the old Id tech games? I guess all of this stuff is still open to speculation.

I don't get it, is interest in feminism is dwindling among SJW's? Why is she trying to appeal to the "games shouldn't be violent" crowd?

Anything to get more clicks/ attention. These twatter personalities make even the slimiest tabloids look decent and intelligent.

Meh at best. /yawn

Being better than Doom 3 doesn't take much but after all those years we have a right to expect more.

The takedowns seemed optional as they did shoot a few guys that were 'glowy'.

But yes, 'takedowns' in general have always been lame. Deus Ex, Hatred, Doom, it doesn't matter, eventually they get old as fuck.

Well, it looks like there could be something under the hood to make at least an adequate game, but the level design and the gameplay speed are indeed rather terrible from these videos. I hope to be proven wrong (the Doom name is dear to me) but with the contemporary level design this will only be mediocre at best if they keep this up, like the new Wolfensteins. The monsters are both in sound and graphics kinda generic, and there are too few of 'em. Soundtrack is terrible, though.

Of all the thing that they took from Brutal Doom, they took the derpiest aspect: the executions and the violence. In BD they are sometimes fun, but you are free to stop them. A single little button press disables executions in BD if you don't need them. On the other hand, they should have tried to take inspiration from the mechanics: I don't play stock Doom, BD or Demonsteele for slow action against five foes max. Make it fast. Make it continuous. Make the player choose quickly between weapons, priorities and location.

This Doom looks like Underwater Doom.

Multiplayer looks almost proming, however.

:negative:

Skyrim looks like Oblivion
Fallout 4 looks like Fallout 3
Doom 4 looks like Doom 3

But whatever, let's not be graphics whores. The visual style of the environment is kinda impressing, but still Doom 3 all over again. A lot of "boomm" and "whomz".

However gameplay looks veeeeery boring and repetitive. I will certainly not play this game except a cooperative campaign is possible. Is coop planned?

Looked generic as hell to me, not impressed at all. Not even the gore looked anything special.

Maybe it's because I've been playing Killing Floor 2 too much, I found the whole gore aspect rather tamed here. Shooting looked weak too.

Somewhat faster-paced Doom 3 with seemingly better movement, and BD-grade cheesy gore.
Let's be honest here: 'Tis the best you were going to get at this point, and by a large margin.

I still don't understand why they can't even TRY to experiment with the level design. Like PS4 and Xbone are not excuses for not having proper levels, they can handle it.
