The New DOOM Thread (2016)

[Voight]

Is it really climbing animation on 0:12-0:13? Seriously, they really "broaden" the definition of arena shooters

 

[Space Insect]

Those player models just look so bad. It makes watching the video almost unbearable.

 

[Excidium II]

No deathmatch?

Deathmatch is not ESPORTS.

Prowler has some nice Alien vibes, I'l give them that.

 

[DosBuster]

id software dropped the fucking ball on this game, zenimax gave them complete creative freedom but they just couldn't get their shit together and spent a whole lot of money on nothing so zenimax came down and was just like: you have to make this game, get it done by this date or else the only thing that will come out of id software is id tech.

 

[sexbad?]

They don't have a real level editor. They have connecting prefabs for you to play with.

 

[tormund]

incredible gunplay

That is something I have a hard time imagining in connection with Doom 3.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Yeah, shotgun in D3 have the shortest range in any FPS I remember. You needed to put it right in the enemy face to work.

To compensate though, RoE's super-shotgun was completely OP (able to one-shot many things), but really fun to use.

Good gunplay is the last hope for D44M, in Rage it was done fucking right, a rarity in these dark dayz.

 

[Metro]

Game is so colorful it looks like Borderlands.

 

[Mustawd]

This is such a fucking travesty...

 

[dextermorgan]

Come on! Sure they might it might be a little different on the surface, but the essence of the original is still there!

Spoiler

That's a beautiful kitchen knife you got there bro. Sorry to be off-topic but I really have nothing to say about this.

 

[shihonage]

That looks like instant failure in online department. "Online community" for Doom4 becoming a wasteland in a month.

 

[Excidium II]

Yeah I don't see the appeal.

 

[AngryEddy]

Game is so colorful it looks like Borderlands.

Imo it looks just like Halo.

 

[Zurat-Yarkuch]

I like that it is colourful since it provides a nice contrast to Doom 3's darker colour palette. Having just recently played Doom 1 and 2 I can assure you those had tons of bright colours, though that was mostly due to the limits of PC graphics at the time.

Overall I like the art direction, except for the designs of the marines. They look way too much like Halo's space marines. It probably would have been a better idea to do something radically different in order to give them a unique identity. I'm sure their concept artists could come up with something way more original, but they probably only wanted generic Halo marine.

 

[Trodat]

Eh, I think it looks pretty nice. Like at the 0:51 mark, good contrast with green and red.

 

[Melcar]

I still can't believe that's the box art.

 

[vonAchdorf]

I like brighter colors, even though it's more Quake 2 colored lights style than colorful enemies. The marines look shitty though and the over the top violence is cringey.

 

[Leitz]

Looks a bit like Quake 3, which was already a contrived Quake/Doom style. This is like the next state of a derivate. Doom mannerism.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Yldri yes, exactly. They started with brown enemies in brown scenery, which was hard to read. Not really fun to play.
