The New DOOM Thread (2016)

They have a built-in junior editor called SnapMap that lets you connect prefabricated sections together. They said something to the effect that you won't be able to make outdoor environments unless you use their specific outdoor area models. I'm not sure they'll allow any brushes or planes or anything at all.

junior editor

Don't know why but this made me lol

 

[Morgoth]

It's a level editor specifically designed for game journos that want to make the leap into game development, giving us deeply satisfying experiences like DOOM.

 

[abija]

Yeah I know about that, just saw people talking about mods and own levels which is a quite a jump from piecing together premade rooms.

I don't think there was an official announcement and I don't think there will be one soon. They'll focus their marketing on SnapMap, because that works on consoles too. If they release a toolkit, it will probably be too little, too late like for Rage (1.5 years after the game's release).

 

[DosBuster]

The id tech 5 kit was a pile of fuck for any modder to get into snapmap is clearly the replacement.

 

[Baron Dupek]

I heard there was some tool for RAGE, anything released? Even smallest mod or tweak?

 

[DosBuster]

Barely, it's a super complex engine that was just too inaccessible to modders.

There's nothing quick in this Doom.

Except quick time events?

Screw this new Doom, Brutal Doom v20B is out with a starter pack!

 

[Luzur]

How can people actually believe that the New console Doom is better then this?

 

[Astral Rag]

Both are garbage.

Dunno mate, methinks they're even aimed at the same audience.

I tried the new Brutal Doom map starter pack.
It's a loose arrangement of the original Doom 1 maps, with added detail to make the levels look less abstract. Finding secrets revolve less around mashing E while humping the walls, but more about finding secret areas and sometimes smashing things to open shit. Thankfully you are made aware you can punch shit to open shit in the first level, as a jammed switch blocks your progress which needs a good punch to open up. Every time you enter a new level, a friendly marine talks on the intercom how screwed everything is, which is kinda neat.There's too many chaingunners in later stages. Also performance fixes my ass, it still lags like hell whenever there are tons of blood decals displayed.

It's ok, I guess

 

[Luzur]

Better then" PRESS E to fight with Imp", but what do i know.

New DOOM looks better and you can turn off the QTEs

 

[tormund]

As fun it is to bash Brutal Doom, and as much of an overhyped unbalanced mess it is at this point, you won't see the kind of gameplay you get from Brutal Doom combined with any decent map pack in ANY modern FPS. Certainly not in BethDoom...

New Screenshots with more cleanliness and brown

Spoiler

 

[Cadmus]

browns and beige and browns and beige and mother of pearl! and browns and beige, everybody's gotta be wearing earth tones, people, 'cause they live on a planet

 

[Durandal]

Are the monster designers for D44M that phobic of using more than one defining color? I could probably make a comparison of how easily you can distinguish one monster from another in the original Doom by reducing them to their basic colors and shapes, compared to the muddy mess that is the monster design of D44M.

 

[Somberlain]

Those Cacodemons or whatever they are in this game look really cartoony and non-threatening.

 

[Morgoth]

Halo 4: Brown Edition.

 

[Metro]

The art seems more stylized than creepy realistic like it was in Doom 3.
