The New DOOM Thread (2016)

[Sodafish]

For those who have finished it then: your favourite 3 weapons?

I'd have to say assault rifle/super shotgun/gauss cannon.

 

[Mr. Pink]

I'm really enjoying the pacing of the campaign (playing on ultraviolence). The faster you kill, the easier it gets. Your reward for killing things is being able to kill more things faster.

I've completely forgotten about grenades and the only time i throw them is when i'm trying to crouch and end up blowing myself up since it's bound to ctrl.

 

[Mr. Pink]

old post, but after actually playing the game, whoever is playing nu-doom in that video plays like a massive pussy. it hurts my brain to watch someone waste three shotgun shells on a zombie because they're too scared to go point blank. and then he runs away from the enemy when he's low on health, when every enemy is a walking health pack. sad.

The Art And Science Of Making White Noise. The way this guy is trying to pass himself off as a musical genius, is nauseating.

That's another disgusting facet of modern AAA game development: using in-house no-name shitters or washed-up has-beens, who just go through the motions, to produce these generic, pedestrian, conveyor-belt audio tracks, which further delineates the faceless nature of their products.

Compare something like this



where you can hear the composer being scared of putting actual texture into his music,

to something like this



(coincidentally, CT's OST is still the reigning champion of dynamic game music, since every level had so much musical personality and the seams where made in such an organic way).

Another prominent example:



forgettable, ambient, soporific garbage

vs



a bombastic techno track with some classical overtones that stays with you for years.

Such a shame that there's no succession of talent in this industry and many great composers are never asked to work on games again or simply fade into obscurity.

Music in video games should only add to the atmosphere, not overpower the whole thing.

kill yourself

 

[BelisariuS.F]

Deus Ex HR theme (as well as the rest of the soundtrack) creates atmosphere very well. You may not feel it, but that's ok, not everybody feels the atmosphere of any given game. It's subjective.

The pain of my boot up your ass is subjective.

Fuck off, fag.

No, that just limits the potential video game music holds.

 

[Owl]

I miss the days when games had music with actual melodies and memorable themes, instead of the faceless, characterless mass of sound that passes off as game music these days. Although it's possible to create memorable, atmospheric ambient music too (Mark Morgan).

 

[Mr. Pink]

the music in D44M is intentionally bland because you're supposed to make the music yourself with shotgun blasts.

Spoiler

I'm not joking though, the music syncs to your shots. it's very cute. each gun has a different pitch iirc. the intensity of the music is dependent on how many demons there are. gives the game some rhythm.

A painfully strong argument

I have to admit, thats pretty rad.

Mick Gordon did the same thing in Killer Instinct, except the base for the song playing was different for each character and wasn't just bland noise

Faggots like things shoved up their ass, infact they get anal orgasms from it, although for sane folks it be fucking painful, hence it's subjective.

Ah, I didn't know it was the same guy. I loved the music in Killer Instinct, definitely better than DOOM.

Best excuse for lame-ass composers and paycheck collectors.
"S-senpai, my music isn't boring shit, it just adds to the atmosphere without overpowering the whole thing!"

I should use it when I end up doing music for yet another crappy social game, so I can churn out boring ambient while keeping the good stuff for myself.

Spoiler

Wait, I've done that already back in '14. Like, six times in a row. And thanks to tasteless faggots like you I can keep doing it.

Here, get a taste of my schlong, boy, I'm glad that people like you keep putting the cash into my pockets.

 

[Lyric Suite]

Soundtrack meant to add to the atmosphere without overpowering anything and yet each track sounds distinctive and worth remembering:

 

[sexbad?]

I remember when Rick Berman fired Ron Jones from composing for Star Trek: The Next Generation because the music he made was actually too fucking good, and Berman literally wanted the score to serve as wallpaper for the series.

 

[shihonage]

Passing Quake 1 on my Pentium 75 with the CD soundtrack playing in background was a seriously depressing experience. But definitely an immersive one.

 

[Caim]

Hey, will there be a hentai mod for this Doom too?

Well the takedown system could be cannibalized for that, just change the animations and the models and you're set.

Calm down, mozart, we're not going to deny you're a talent-less hack who whores himself for money.

I remember the horrible jump somewhere around the 2nd season. The music up to then was amazing, real sci-fi music imo. I was surprised to hear it when rewatching the show because I only remembered the bland stuff from the later seasons.
