I'll be pissed if they pull some shit like Doom Slayer being a woman in this one, or a tranny. It's Bethesda and Microsoft, after all.

Since it's medieval does that mean there won't be any secret funko-pop collectables? Will we be getting authentic hagiographies in place of phony knock-off Warhammer 40k codex entries? :o

If we can get a Heretic 3 or something similar, I'm all for it. However, I express high distaste for the last iteration (reboots) of Doom, so I don't have high hope.

I actually hate this. I want a new Hexen badly, but smearing the Doom branding and storyline all over it instantly kills my interest and makes me not want to even look into it.

No. I'm not a freaking chatbot.
I think the pace will probably be slower than Doom Eternal. Hugo previously stated that if Doom Eternal was about racing cars, the sequel will feel like driving a monster truck.

Maybe the sequel will be a game like Doom 3, which is lazy and slow, or maybe it's Quake 1, which is less paced than classic Doom. Only time will tell.

:positive:Who cares? Nu-id has shitted this series to a ADHD zoomer shooter. Glory killing infinite spawn zombies for healing like COD style auto-regeneration. Waiting grenade cool down like a Blizzard porn. Shit-tier level design throws you brain dead arena popamole(imagining DOOM2.wad is full of MAP07 DEAD SIMPLE). Every zoomer shows off their street fighter weapon-switch combo. Nobody cares navigation challenge and exploration of vanilla doom.
Good job, id. I'm going home and play doomworld lgbt pwad.

I'm fucking sick of this nu-Doom spinoff series already.
Fuck this.
This is NOT Doom.
We already have medieval dark fantasy Doom style games - they are called Heretic and the badass Hexen.
Play those instead.
I know I will, since it's been a long time since I last played them.

I still prefer Doom 3 over nu-Doom.

I can't think of nu-Doom games as Doom games. Their design is too far removed from classic Doom. They're just first-person shooters that happen to have "Doom" in their name, and they can be good for what they are, or not.
I just hope that "medieval inspired" doesn't mean Doomguy gets a sword or that it's just Doom Eternal 2 with different weapons. They could also tone down the rip and tear aspect and remove glorykills, but I somehow doubt that's going to happen...
If I want more classic Doom, there's still a million different WADs to play.
