New Doom Gameplay Footage Is Bloody And Grim

That was an intense minute and a half. It might just be clever editing, but this trailer looks like it's closer to the original's fast paced run 'n' gun antics. Also, I think someone at id played some of the Brutal Doom mod.
It might be time for me to build a new PC *must resist hype* (as soon as the GOTY edition of DooM comes out, because I'm still a cheapskate).

I can't judge anything related to Doom until I see the level design and pacing. This is what most games aspiring to capture the appeal of the original Doom always miss.
Here is the thing though. Doom was never an arena shooter. It featured massive sprawling levels, with careful pacing. It wasn't just walking into a big open room, fight off waves of respawning enemies and then move onto the next area. Doom was so much more than that. The reason people oddly remember it as an 'arena shooter' is probably why so many games claiming to be the next Doom fail so hard.vallorn said:
Part of what made Doom was great as it was was the amazing level design, careful pacing, resource management, and fast paced and visceral shooting. It all came together to create an amazing game. It was NOT just another arena shooter.
I don't know, I was pretty disappointed in what I saw. Like, the Shadow Warrior reboot came out in 2013 and did what this is trying to do buy way better. I mean to be fair it's not out yet and it was probably played like this for demonstration purposes, but still. If anything all it did was get my hyped for Shadow Warrior 2.
I was referring to the multiplayer section. I was afraid that it would be some horrible abomination of pickups and louadouts like Halo 4's multiplayer is but if they went for a more arena focus in the multiplayer then that WORKS, that's the spirit of multiplayer shooters from those days like Quake. I hope they don't pull that mentality into the single player and so I agree with you on that, but from what I saw it looks promising at least. It's definitely on my "Buy" list but I need more data and info before it's "Buy on day1", "Buy later" or "Buy next summer sale"Clive Howlitzer said:
Does look like Doom, however the models looks pretty damn old and the brownness of the demons blends with the brownness of the levels far too much.
I'm guessing this isn't one of their highest budget games made considering ID hasn't been doing that well.

Given the footage I saw during the livestream and this trailer all I have to say is this...welcome home my old friend.
While I liked the gunplay and the look of the game I just don't understand what the hell they were thinking with bullets and health flying out of bodies like a loot piñata...this isn't Destiny, this isn't Borderlands, this is Doom. The flying loot has absolutely no place in this game and it just looks like they throw it in because its what other games recently have done ignoring why those games do it in the first place.
Why would you ditch static health packs and ammo? it was one of the challenges of the original games was that you had a limited number of health packs to reach the end, making you learn the level encounters and forcing planning in order to beat the hardest difficulties.
Last thing that bothered me was the shimmering effect on the demons, who thought that was a good idea? It is completely immersion breaking. Is it supposed to show that you can use a close combat execution move? Why not just make them stammer to signify that they can be executed? That shimmer effect is just terrible.
Other then that I thought it was a decent return of the franchise, the level and mode customization is exactly what this game needs to keep people playing and interested in the multi-player.

In terms of what was shown of the aesthetic and level design, it reminded me some mix between Doom 3 and Halo. That's not a good thing.
Movement seemed meh (not all that "fast" as they said but certainly faster than CoD I guess), gunplay seemed decent, enemies seemed rather unresponsive though and exploding into power-ups is pretty dumb - health and ammo was never that plentiful in Doom. Those one-hit finishers, while interesting to look at the RIPPING AND TEARING the first time, gets boring quick and I'd rather just shoot the enemies to death instead.
I don't really have much hope for this but I'll keep an eye one it.

Did anyone else think that he'll looked a lot like Oblivion? I want Bethesda to advertise this game as "like Oblivion with guns!"
But yeah, looks pretty fucking sick. I'm down like a clown.
