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.

The funny thing is that the original visual origin of the Angels was like that!
They described them as faceless being with wings and a lot of eyes.
Also another origin they had was being described as Lizard alien creatures.
So Metal!!!!

So Bayonetta?

All the gameplay looks incredible. Day one on Switch and Steam.

I was hoping Heaven would be the opposite of Hell. As in not tainted by either organic or machinery and just be pure one or the other.

To be honest, I just read in the Thread that maybe it isn't Heaven after all but related with a place which was in the Doom Novels.

But I REALLY want to be Heaven. We will see.

I don't just want Bayonetta heaven designs here, but I must admit that would still end up being pretty great. I trust Id to make it work and feel special.

What about DOOM Eternals map design is so worrying?

Just the city map so far. It reminds me of Wolfenstein 2, which was a mess. Explorable maps in general are fine with me, I like what they did in Prey, Dishonored or Doom 2016 a lot!
But Wolfenstein 2 was a not working mess: No clear direction, rooms were often confusingly placed while looking similar to each other. You never had an idea if you were going forward, back or in circles. Visual guides (like light) that are there to help player navigation were often wrongly placed... Didn't like it at all. Add in the short pick up range (+you have to press a button to pick up health packs), randomly spawning enemies, having to search for "officers" and a lot more... The game didn't work out for me, just wasn't fun to play.

So it looks like they ditched the single best design decision from Doom 2016 and you don't pick up health and ammo from glory kills anymore. At least it looks like it from the PC gameplay bit.
I'll be surprised if that's out, since it is stated in the Lore as one of the reasons why the DOOM Slayer is driven to kill all the demons.

Can someone please explain to me what Doom Eternal is? Is this something like a Remake of the Domm from 2016, or is this a complete new game with a new story? Thanks :)

The first time I played through Doom 2016 on PS4 I thought it was pretty good, then I played through the whole game again on PC on Ultra Violence and it retroactively became my GOTY. I even bought and played through the whole game a third time on Switch.

Doom Eternal has a good change of becoming my 2019 GOTY even with all the competition.

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:

This sounds convoluted and dumb as fuck to the point it doesn't even sound anything remotely like Doom. They are supposed to be following this?

Looked at the gameplay reveal and it doesn't seem like the suit is new, just modified. The Praetor Suit has some mythos to it. It wouldn't have made sense for a game leaning heavily on lore to completely dump it.

It definitely seems heavily modified:

I find my self preferring the sleeker look of the original (especially the boots and the arms). Though I love the blade and the predator canon, badass af.

I really need to go play the first Doom already. Been sitting on my shelf unopened (with all the rest of my backlog...sigh) for over a year now.
