DOOM: The Dark Ages medieval spinoff

[Multidirectional]

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.

Yeah they are different enough to be treated as spin-offs I think. I had a lot of fun with Eternal, but it doesn't really play like Doom game.

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.

Exactly.
There's so many great WADs to pick and play that they shit all over nu-Doom.
Also the monster design is just terrible in nu-Doom...
Straight cartoonish.
Everything is just so "flashy" and annoying.

I enjoyed Doom Eternal to some extent, but I agree with the opinion that its monster designs are too cartoony.

It's happening:

 

[Baron Dupek]

More like Doom- Army of Darkness
some nailgun and even location that looks like taken from Quake3Arena intro (0:59)...
1:35 looks like Alastor from Painkiller, lol
1:44 2girls2cups reference?

Something I thought I'd never say:

"Lore-based DOOM got too weird."

 

[ferratilis]

Hugo Martin is an idiot, that's all I can say.

 

[Morgoth]

At least they toned down the Disney graphics a bit.

 

[sser]

Got some strong Painkiller vibes.

 

[MasterofThunder]

Not feeling it. I never even played Doom Eternal because I heard they went full reddit in both gameplay and story. This just seems like a missed opportunity for a remake/reboot of Quake, with gameplay that isn't all doped-up, hyper-energetic, and edgy to the point of insanity.

 

[destinae vomitus]

Looks like the same wannabe Marvel garbage that the DLCs for Eternal were, complete with a Captain Murrica shield for nuDoomguy this time.

 

[Caim]

Holy shit, they're finally going to do it.

Heretic 3.

Fucking HYPE.

Fuck.

 

[luj1]

Doom, medieval? So, Quake?

Heretic

 

[ArchAngel]

Doom, medieval? So, Quake?

Heretic

If only, this seems just like new Doom but with a shield.

 

[Morgoth]

Got some strong Painkiller vibes.

It looks like a Witchfire ripoff.

 

[HansDampf]

Story is probably going to be cringe again. But I wanna see some proper gameplay videos.

A chainsaw throwable shield, parry tool.
And you get a flail too.

I wanted Heretic/Hexen with modern graphics and crazy gameplay but this looks more like a mod for new Doom games.

 

[ArchAngel]

But almost all games presented were game pass day one, I guess M$ is going all in

 

[Infinitron]

ALL CAPS

 

[Funposter]

i liked the visuals and also the bits where doomguy shot at demons : )

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

As long as it's nothing like Doom Eternal it should be fine. That game was such a mess.

 

[Bad Sector]

Yeah, for me this particular trailer had me grinning all through it. Doom Eternal, with its fisher-price HUD and monsters looking as if they were made out of playdoh materials, couldn't even convince me to buy it (well, it having Denuvo didn't help at all, but AFAIK it is now removed but i still don't feel like playing it).

This one though? I love grimdark settings, sci-fi settings, fusion of sci-fi and fantasy, over the top concepts, metal music, fast-paced FPS games and i failed to notice a single thing in the trailer that i might dislike. Even if it wasn't Doom (whatever "Doom" is supposed to be after six different mainline games and a bunch of spinoffs over more than three decades), i'd still be looking forward to it.

 

[TheKing01]

They were never going to come up with a better title than Hell on Earth and Eternal, so "Doom: The Era Without Toilet Seats" it is

 

[Ivan]

Not feeling the initial trailer. I was hoping for a Quake reboot. As long as they keep the difficulty of Eternal I'm game. Weird direction to go to though.
