... you know it wasn't that hard to make it better than the 2005 version, but even by those standards this looks awful.

It's really not. In fact, if you compare it to the zombie modes in call of duty it is significantly worse in almost every way.Silentpony said:
A friend and I got it knowing it was bad because was wanted to dick around with a coop shooter and still hated it. I forced him to beat ALL of the campaigns because I'm an asshole, and every step of the way we were like "no, there can't possibly be more" but there always was.
If they had cut the game in half and doubled the quality of each section instead it would be...marginally fine, but never good.
Probably not. There's conspicuously a lack of demons.Chimpzy said:
Hardy har har.
I'm guessing no. Granted, that is indeed just a guess, but MK: Annihilation is bad on every level concievable. If this is as 'good' as the original Doom movie, then it'll still be better than Annihilation.
Kind of this. I get that Doom 3 isn't like the games that came before or after it, and it's become the black sheep of the franchise, but it's actually my favourite Doom game.Silentpony said:

Which sequels are we talking about?Avnger said:
If you're talking about Hero of the Federation, well, sure, I guess. If we're talking about Marauder, I think that was at least decent, and understood what made the original great, even if it didn't fully succeed in emulating it. As for the CGI ones, can't comment.
I can understand liking the Doom movie as a brain dead action sci-fi, but IMO, Wing Commander is too bad, and takes itself too seriously, for that to work.Agema said:
Seriously, watch the 'movie cuts' of Wing Commander III/IV on YouTube and you'd get a better experience than the actual movie. I know I did.

Yep, I said it.
In the wider context of post-Star Wars SF B-movies that proliferated through the 80s and 90s, Wing Commander is fine. It's not so much bad as medicore: cliched, cheesy dialogue, and the SFX has all the limitations of a low budget movie.Hawki said:
Agreed. All of the Zombie COD modes are better than RE6.Dirty Hipsters said:
For the new Doom movie, all I have to ask is why? WHHYYYYYYY???? Who the fuck was asking for a sequel to the 2006 movie? No one, that's who! And just like MK Annihilation, "Destroy All Expectations" took another new meaning.
Doom 3 is a great Doom game despite some of its problems. The problem is so many people were used to Doom II . Ironic, because Doom 64 did what Doom 3 did back in 1997. Taking a more Lovecraftian/Hell horror approach. People and certain Doom fans seem to forget that the Doom 1 has a slower pace/build up compared to II. Doom 1 was not exactly the fast paced shooter everyone pretends to remember.
I think that was more down to the Shareware nature of Doom. Episode 1 was paced so as to entice people into springing for the other two episodes, in a kind of 'to be continued' kinda way. If they had front-loaded E1 with all the high-gib weapons (as they did with Doom2) there would have been no incentive for people to dip their hands in their pockets for the rest of the game. E2 and E3 were pretty full on in terms of pacing.CoCage said:
OT - If that trailer is anything to go by this new film is gonna crash. Hard. I didn't even mind the Karl Urban film (in a 'plug in DVD, unplug brain' kinda way) but even taking into account my love of the cheesy B-movie horrorfilm this looks bad.
There's no good movie to be made out of Doom. The series doesn't lend itself to it.
Probably, literally, no. Can you think of a single Hollywood actress with that kind of build who's also good enough to carry a movie? Sure, there are women like Gina Carano or Rhonda Rousey who occasionally appear in movies but they're athletes dabbling in acting, not actual actors. They play bit parts because they aren't remotely talented enough for a lead role.Agema said:
Jennifer Lopez isn't big, but she's got some impressive muscle definition.PsychedelicDiamond said:
More importantly, though, is who you can get who is cheap, cause it doesn't look like they've blown the budget on this one.
I think you spilled the beans right there.Worgen said:
I expect this to go one of two ways:
1) it'll be bad, but ultimately a level of cheesy that actually makes such movies entertaining (Dredd, Punisher: Warzone, [insert third movie here]).
2) It'll be bad and not entertaining at all...
A scene that ironically made it feel more like an arcade light-gun shooter than anything else...Marik2 said:
Women with muscles are findable. And if you're doing a shoestring budget B-movie where you're hiring a virtual unknown where there's minimal carry power anyway, you can find one with muscles.PsychedelicDiamond said:
Not having a woman with muscles is more about facile attitudes to what women should look like: no muscle definition even if they're a superwoman who can punch a hole in a sheet of 3" thick steel.
You know what don't care, it can die in a garbage fire (not mad at you, Hawki). I have no plans on seeing the film.Hawki said:

Um...am I going nuts, or does the dual pistol wielding at 0:19 seem particularly bad? There's a lot of little things in that one second that are weirding me out, but...I swear the firing effect is happening after the recoil.

IT's already got one up on the shitty Rock Doom considering they are fighting actual demons from hell rather than mutated humans that turned evil due to a 'super gene/chromosome' being activated.
These sorts of movies where the studio are just trying to keep their licence to an intellectual property would be a perfect opportunity to do something bizarre, weird and arty given the higher-ups don't really give a crap about the movie. There's free rein to do whatever they want you'd think. If this were a director who had any artistic ambitions or urges left in them that is.
