DOOM Eternal TV Advert
- Thread starter Uzzy
- Start date
Between cutting out the two staples of Doom, it's gore/violence and Mick Gordon, you would think this was done in purpose. This has to fit in a standard ad block for television, and both those features would be a bit too much I reckon.
How are you about to have such a killer soundtrack, and release a commercial with a song that doesn't fit whatsoever.
Id weren't fast enough to get Refused for Eternal CDPR snatched them up for 2077 and dressed them up as Samurai.
Imagine the reaction of the people who will buy the game after this trailer only to realise that it is full of industrial metal and gore. Wondering who came up with the idea though, someone from Bethesda or someone from id? Anyways, I hope that id software can become an independent, self-publishing studio in the long term. They are basically carrying Bethesda lately and I am kinda worried when the latter's greed is going to screw everything up.
DOOM Eternal has got to be the most advertised game Bethesda has ever done for a non- Bethesda game.
I haven't been this hyped for a game in a very long time so it's definitely working.

"kids like violent games and the raps"
I swear some marketing people are reusing their fathers's ideas on how to address young consumers.
There are games that go absolutely stellar with rap, and work really well.
Doom's identity is inseparable from metal, so this would never work. The Doom 2016 TV spot was bleh too, Bethesda can't seem to get promoting Doom on cable right.
Then again, only boomers are still watching cable TV so whatever.

I think this and the OP ad are both trash. Just use Gordons music.
Or is it illegal to have good music in an ad?
All they had to do was show highlights of someone playing very well in their combat arenas while the Mick Gordon soundtrack plays. How do you fuck up this bad?
Besides the fact that Doom literally has its roots in another music genre(metal) and you have MICK GORDON doing the soundtrack, whoever edited the spot didn't even attempt to match the music to the what it was playing over.
So no.
At least if this came on I'd be laughing my ass off for the entire spot.
I'd be upset too, Mick
alright even if you wanted something more "mainstream" for a tv ad or whatever... why would you pick a song that is pure snooze throughout the ads 30 seconds runtime. like is there not a part later in the song where it pops off or
lol, i dont get this - doom 2016 is well beloved and the music is one of the pillar reasons- you think "normies" wouldnt like doom music?
but, well, it's not even that they didn't use Mick Gordon, they just chose a totally unfitting song.
That ad is so dumb, like some marketing idiot looked at the game, probably the most heavy metal looking game ever made with an even heavier soundtrack and thought: "You know what this needs? Hip-Hop! That'll get the Fortnite kids to play Doom!" Talk about fundamentally misunderstanding what the fuck your trying to sell.
Saw his Tweet before seeing the trailer, and was confused as hell. Now this Tweet is absolutely amazing with context.
