Doom: The Dark Ages

[ZedClampet]

The new Doom game was announced over the weekend and has a great trailer filled with gameplay. Love the looks of it. Says the game will be out in 2025. Post any doomy thoughts you may have . I'm actually looking forward to this. Doom always looks and sounds great.

The graphics look good. I like the style. I just wish they could nail the vibe of the 90s Doom games with modern graphics.

Great trailer, apart from the mecha piloting and dragon flying Im into flail bashing stuff and the general chaos. Said in the monthly thread but I hope they streamline it just a little bit from Eternal. It looks like more new Doom though and Im pretty excited for that.

Looking forward to this. I really enjoyed Doom 2016 and Eternal.

Looks really cool. I wonder if it would be a good point to jump in if I never played 2016 or Eternal.

I would grab Doom 2016, you can probably get it cheaper and youll get an idea whether you like the new direction or not.

Yeah, that makes sense. Cheers.

I've been gaming for more than 30 years, experience (and the industry) have taught me that most games are nothing but pure hype or BS (lets not all forget about The Day Before). I just generally don't get excited about games anymore........BUT I am so freakin STOKED for this.. there just isnt any good twitch franchises like this around anymore. Doom is an awesome IP with a tremendous history behind it and lots of die hard fans (also see Wolfenstein series - New Colossus was EPIC). I think the only complaint I have had over the years is that there hasn't been more of these kinds of games released. I mean seriously - I cant be the only one who LOVES these "oldschoolesque" twitch shooters

These are the kind of games that got me started.... Hard Reset, Legendary, Doom 3, Wolfenstein, Heretic - pure and absolute carnage in a way that only this genre can deliver. The previous titles were just about everything you could ask for technically, they run so great on just about anything- here's hoping they don't give it the "Enhanced" treatment and release a half polished turd that isn't runnable at 1080p by anything but a 4090 + 14900k. I have been very patiently waiting for a follow up to Doom and Doom Eternal and I think this whole medieval spin is an awesome, fresh face for the franchise.... They kinda have the ability to take Doomguy anywhere in space and time... GIVE US MORE!

ID Tech has run brilliantly in Doom and Wolfenstein far as I know, dont see any reason this wouldnt be the same.

Fantasy Doom... does that make this a new Quake game or a new Heretic/Hexen game?

I liked Doom Eternal, but I hated the lore. Going back and exploring it more doesn't sound fun at all. The game might be great, though I wonder if I might have just as much fun playing Doom 2016 again - it's been several years now, so I won't remember much from my first playthrough.

High props for them reinventing the wheel, but if I don't see any gals hiding behind a waterfall, I'm gonna be mad. Wait, shoot!, that was Shadow Warrior. Anyhow, just let us shoot the brain of an ID software employee in the game again and I'll be happy.

The trailer looks awesome, not to speak about the graphics, which are totally insane!
Can't wait to get my hands on this game.
