Doom (PC/PS4/XB1)

I didn't see a thread for it, so here you go. A first look (tease, really) at the revamped Cyberdemon. The big reveal is at Quakecon in July. This is the most so far since the very low-key beta announcement attached to preorders for Wolfenstein: The New Order. This has been in development hell for about 5 years and id's had some core team shakeups, so this has something to prove, especially with the recent departure of Doom co-creator and id co-founder John Carmack to Oculus VR.

The Void Engine looks pretty enough to ogle, but damn, they're aiming right at the nostalgia buttons with that art direction and the classic door sound effect. This is supposedly a return to the Doom design of yore rather than the more familiar elements of current shooters, and I hope they manage just that. And is the narration and hybridized UAC weaponry a clue this is yet another retelling hot off the heels of Doom 3? Get hype, Space Marines! t:

EDIT: Now in better quality.

Very little to go on from the teaser, but I really look forward to hearing more at QuakeCon.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Is that Claudia Black doing her American accent?

 

[badgrammar]

There was no Cyber Demon in Doom 3?

 

[HauntedKnight]

Yes, there was. It was the final boss.

With that said, I'm not sure how I feel about this. The last game just didn't feel like Doom and I didn't find myself having that much fun.

Some impressions from QuakeCon:

The stream is off and it's Doom 4 time. First up: the trailer we saw a few weeks ago. Next: exec producer Marty Stratton.

"The game is called Doom, not Doom 4. It's an origin game, reimagining everything about the originals."--Stratton

"The game begins just outside of a massive research facility on the surface of Mars."--Stratton

Today's reveal will focus on combat, which is what the team has been focusing on.

First combat mechanic: demons. Mechanical, corrupt, hell knights.

Second mechanic: guns. Conventional guns. "Big" guns. The double barrel shotgun got a round of applause.

Doom will focus on high-speed movement and run-and-gun. Just like the old days.

Just saw some stills of an exterior, street-size level. Some combat will be hand-to-hand.

There will be a live gameplay demo on stage.

Doom will run on idTech 6, according to Stratton. Will support 1080p, 60 frames per second.

Gameplay demo getting started. Tons of gray steel walls, flames, and a shotgun that is comically large.

A key feature will be stunning enemies with a shot, then smashing their face with your boots. It's happened five times already.

A new twist on finding the yellow keycard: year off a corpse's arm and use it to open a handprint scanner.

Breaking: barrels just exploded. Repeat, we have exploding barrels.

Doesn't look like health regenerates. Enemies drop health when you squish them.

A demon just ripped the player's arms off and beat him to death with them. The room is breaking out into a standing ovation.

An adorable custodial droid is trying to clean up all the blood. It is not succeeding.

The player is now exploring a dank, Mars cave system. This looks like some of the atmospheric horror from Doom 3.

The hand-to-hand kill moves are varied and fantastically gory. And here comes the chainsaw.

There's a huge variety of enemies on display. Small demons swarming with giant bullet-sponges.

And the demo ends with the reveal of the giant, horned demon we saw in the teaser. An explosive demo, and more than we thought we'd see.

Sounds epic. Any indication on a release window?

 

[Spade]

They won't give another peek of it until next year.

 

[Figs]

Yes, there was. It was the final boss.

Are you talking about Doom 3 or was there another one after that?

Personally I loved Doom 3 and I really enjoyed the hell out of Doom 64 back in the day.

 

[the last son]

Rather get a new dead space instead.

Indeed it was Doom 3. There was an expansion with some other weird boss too.

Sucks for you then, Doom's awesome.

 

[GENERAL RAAM582]

I'm so ridiculously excited for this!!!

 

[Fans of Reilly]

I will be more excited if MachineGames the Wolfenstein: The New Order guys was doing this game

 

[Soapy]

Rather get a new dead space instead.

What on earth does Dead Space have to do with Doom?

[GENERAL RAAM582]

My most anticipated game to see at E3 along with Fallout 4 and the next Gears of War.

 

[TX85]

Damn tease but at least it will make the full reveal at E3 sooo good!

 

[Great Cthulhu]

[TheVileOne]

So who is developing this game?

 

[Soapy]

Id Software

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

another game to add to my list

totally forgot there was a new Doom on the way

 

[TheVileOne]

So is this basically their first game since RAGE?

 

[Soapy]

Yes. Though they also released Doom 3 BFG Edition as well.
