Does every armor need to be overdesigned like a 343i or Tetsuya Nomura design?

Since game engines and average PC/console allow you to add details - yes.
Same deal with artworks (better drawing software, even free one + drawing tablets) - ton of garbage on everything, even worse when game is set in post-apo settings, where people are walking junkyards.

I guess they wanted to avoid the "le doomguy is an american football player xD" memes.

Snapmap looks like the same sort of shit that went out with SCL. I just hope now that id goes out the same way nspace did. Put it out of its misery.

"Doom killed by Quake fanboys" What's up with this title, can anyone explain? Doom was killed by consoles if anything. The game is nothing like Quake.

Is this the big bad from Hell? A robot with a lightsaber that makes Kylo Ren's hiltsaber look like a masterpiece in comparison? just like in my japanese animes

WHERE'S THE COLOR, EGGMAN?

Why the hell didn't they go with this pose for the cover? Here's something that looks cool, for once.
The rest of the trailer is just cutie takedowns which are nauseating to look at with such a console FOV. Gunplay still looks floaty and lacks any punch.

Bethesda just doesn't 'get' what Doom is about. It's that simple.
Bethesda doesn't even get what Elder Scrolls is about anymore.

That's because to the modern gamer numbers mean nothing. There were no games before Doom 3, Doom 3 was the first.
There were no games before Fallout 3, Fallout 3 was the first.
There were no games before Elder Scrolls IV, Elder Scrolls IV was the first.

Those numbers were added for stylistic effect.

Ironically, when 'The Madness of King George III' came out in the US, they changed the title to 'The Madness of King George', because they were worried that kwanzians wouldn't go see it, because they hadn't seen the 1st two films...

Is that a blatant recycling of the "Stroggification" scene from Quake 4? The jokes about Doo-Quake became reality. And I see little sense in that scene unless it's meant to show the Doomguy has his armor fused with his skin or worse. And then one of the few new enemies is a a derpy-looking droid with a bootlegged lightsaber/pickaxe. Really? :retarded::retarded:

I can't wait to see if NuDoom will outderp NuWolfestein and its "deep" story.

Fuck the 'modern' gamer, this is from a recent interview about the development of WipeOut 2097 - 20 years ago.

It was WipEout XL in the US becase - apologies to all US citizens - someone at Psygnosis was determined that the US audience wouldn't understand the idea of 100 years in the future in the title and would question where the previous 2096 games were.

Is it just me or did that leaked trailer make it look like they decided to add a new story to the game? Fuck, they couldn't even get the story right.
