"You nerds better give me those fucking guns you got. I don't even need to say 'or else' do I?"
Bulletstorm is such a fucking fun game. Those mechanics made it stand out too
In my mind, the entire story of DOOM 2016 is just one pissed-off Doom Slayer killing the forces of Hell just so he can finally crack an ice cold beer afterward. Like mowing a really annoying lawn, y'know?
I hope we get a Mick Gordon version of Message for the Archvile.
I second this. Just tell us in spoiler tags, please.
Also what Doom novels?

I mean he's right, arch-vile is the best. Especially when they bring back to life 20 revenants that shoot homing missiles at you. :3

Fun fact: The death sound of the Archvile in Doom 2 is a pitch shifted little girl saying "why?"

It definitely looks like they made it more optional but I think it is still in there.
Nailed it :) (then grappled to it, then blasted it with super shotty)Basically
Are you talking about the novels from the 90's? If so, that picture looks nothing like anything I imagined from those novels.
In DOOM you got more drops when your HP was low. The gameplay demo is practically played on god mode (watch the HP meter) so it's hard to really say if that's still in or not.
id seems to build their universe with everything that was officially released in relation to the franchise. This includes a series of 4 books that took DOOM in a very unique direction. If you're not gonna read the books and only want to know what I believe may have inspired the "Heaven" concept art, then read this:
That's true.
I am fine either way as they seem to know what they are doing.
I hope so! Making me go in despite my low health was a rush no other shooter could give me and the back and forth was a dance that was very unique and still fast like nothing else.
Looking good for most part. Not to keen on that evade move, never was fan of that mechanic in UTs (big reason i'm more of a Quake guy really), but then again this is mostly single player, so whatever. Hopefully "invasions" can be disabled, i really detest merely the concept of involuntary multiplayer.

Wasn't this killing animation in Dishonored too? I feel like I've seen it before.
The evade mechanic is just like a sped-up strafe. Also, you definitely can turn it off.Looking good for most part.

You must be fun at parties. Come on man I hope your being facetious. Your gonna ignore the dude for THAT? Just because he thinks the doom 2016 is "objectively bad" doesn't make HIM so. LOL. No beef but give the guy a break, lol!

Who says silent protagonists can't have personalities?
Love the 2016 Doom reboot, mainly because of the fast paced action and the level design (for the most part very good). The "fallen city" gameplay reveal made be a bit worried though. The level reminded be a bit off Wolfenstein 2, which had terrible level design and ideas that turned a game with great potential into a disappointment. Man, the level design in there was so bad.
DOOM 2016 also has a lots of lore. Audio and text logs, environmental storytelling, those few scenes with Hayden etc.
I wouldn't expect DOOM Eternal to turn into cutscene driven and deep story based game.
Bets on this being "heaven"?
If Hell is Metal as fuck, so why not Heaven as well.
I want to see multi-eye Lovecraftian Angels in the game god dammit!
Seeing the first cinematic with Doom Guy using the red key like that, make me want to see more cinematics of him giving zero fuck around him.
Also I notice that the map had some question marks which maybe are missions?
If you notice there was a a bigger "?", Which is possible theain quest.
If they have plans to make it like Dark Souls, then it make sense it take place in a giant map.
So hype of presentation would regress instead of increase until ultimate peek?
Also I am wondering who is the one who upgraded his armor. The same Demon from the first game? Make sense.
Also seeing Doom Guy having the sword, this means he fought Hayden and kick his ass and took it from him.
So I guess there is a bigger bad guy in the game than Hayden.

What about DOOM Eternals map design is so worrying? Instead of hallways and arenas on UAE facility we have arenas build into falling city, aesthetic is just different. Open and multi level arena design clearly still is there with hallway transitions between.
P.S. Never quite understood Wolfenstein 2 hate, more the same with faster TTK which I was fine with even on harder difficulty settings.
Question marks are locations of secrets most likely, just like in DOOM 2016.
Edit: Doom Slayer is already on the quest, only one that matters. Eternal quest to rip and tear every demon.

Uh, it's a pretty standard trait of games that have progression systems (as Doom 2016 did). Your character gets better and your personal skill increases, making the game easier over time.
Eh, Doom 3 tried to be a horror shooter and it wasn't even very good at that. Walking around in pitch dark and having to choose between seeing or shooting was a stupid design choice. Also, the enemy spawns were extremely predictable. Every time you walked into a room, an enemy either popped out of a closet or teleported in behind you.
He was probably referring specifically to the court house level. People tend to make sweeping generalizations based on single examples. He also likely played the game on consoles which made it much harder to deal with flanking enemies.
He was just asleep in Doom 2016.
He's coming back. Final boss in Doom 1996 was Spider Mastermind, same thing in Doom 2016. I'll eat my hat if the Icon of Sin doesn't close out Doom Eternal.
Maybe he will be available as a playable Demon in the Invasion part of the game.The game looks so freak good!
Just one thing... It's more faithful to the original sure, but i prefere the version of mancubus we got in doom 2016
If I remember even the Player Mancubus was a little different from the standard model.
Duuuude yes, I'd love it if the angels looked like this
Frankly I wish Heaven looked more freaky and disturbing rather than clean and gold. Like a eldritch horror world but with feathers and some nice white drapes.
