the-dark-ages

[radiant kettle]

i am the dark ages..

[remote thunder]

dark ages wants to be drakengard so bad

[hot panther]

Im also wondering if we'll see valens betrayal and the icon of sin's (re)creation

[shrewd mountain]

hopefully we can FINALLY figure out who the first hell priests guardian was

[barren warren]

wonder how resource management will work this time like if there will even be a way to easily get health/armor back like the flame belch and ice bomb

[hot panther]

Bonus points if the bring back John Romero to play Valen's son

[shrewd mountain]

imagine the doom slayer held onto his challenge coin for millenia

just to use it when they started fucking with earth

[pulsar agate]

prob a dlc

[radiant kettle]

noo

[shrewd mountain]

OH I WOULD LOVE TO SEE DLC

[radiant kettle]

not that long between 2016 and eternal..

[shrewd mountain]

its just a funny thought, there is a 10 year gap between 2016 and eternal so

[barren warren]

imagine if there’s a dlc campaign that leads into 2016

[calm dome]

1:28 in the Dark Ages trailer. That looks like an Agaddon Hunter. AKA, the creature used to make Doom Hunters.

[delicate grotto]

Dude’s literally trapped in Hell for like a millennia

[icy leaf]

I wonder if it will be on the switch, like the other doom games

[shrewd mountain]

he probably killed the guardian in those 10 years wherever he was

[reef wedge]

Im really not a fan of this direction, but im sure the gameplay will be fire so ill buy it.

[radiant kettle]

NO??

[shrewd mountain]

2 frames a second

[radiant kettle]

i swear it was like barely a year..

[scenic bobcat]

So what happens

[delicate grotto]

Why not? Just curious

[misty beacon]

new doom goes brrrrt

[pulsar agate]

bro we literally get trapped into hell for a millenia then the seraphim tryna find us then he awakes us that what u wanna see

[radiant kettle]

perhaps i should replay the games and read all codices.. smhh

[shrewd mountain]

the codex entries say the incident on mars was in 2050s, when the events of eternal are in 2060 ish

[scenic bobcat]

Is this a prequel

[shrewd mountain]

2150s and 2160s i mean

[calm dome]

It's inconsistent for some reason. Doom 2016 is 2149, and I've seen Doom Eternal be placed anywhere from 2151 to 2163

[radiant kettle]

oh LMAO

[mortal ibex]

The Agaddon Hunter has at least 4 arms?

[delicate grotto]

To 2016 yes

[scenic bobcat]

Ok cool

[shrewd mountain]

doom slayer took his SWEET ass time getting that first hell priest coin

[calm dome]

Could be a related species

[barren warren]

did you forget the entire part where the slayer along with the rest of the night sentinels go on a crusade through hell because of the priests’ betrayal

[scenic bobcat]

Looks like quake kinda

[pulsar agate]

im still not finding all the codex in 2016

[reef wedge]

Idk, i was never a fan of the sentinel parts of eternal. And what i saw now just didnt look that appealing.

[shadow storm]

Will there be a collector's Edition?!

[shrewd mountain]

exactly why its peak

[reef wedge]

I just love the classic gameplay loop in Eternal

[scenic bobcat]

Maby they share the same time line

[pulsar agate]

no i did not

[radiant kettle]

ummm u can always look up guides, no shamee

[mortal ibex]

If there is I will buy 3

[pulsar agate]

youtube:

[radiant kettle]

duhh!!

[pulsar agate]

i will just see them all on yt

[shrewd mountain]

i have no idea what the doom slayer was doing for 10 years between doom 2016 and eternal, i just think it would be funny if he got the coin in dark ages and kept it for millenia JUST to use it finally in eternal when he was pissed off at the hell priests

[pulsar agate]

he was sent in a place by samuel not known

[delicate grotto]

Well fair enough. This game is pretty much about his time with the Sentinels. I used to not care for that part of Doom lore too but it slowly grew on me the more I read into it. To each their own. Just hope it kicks ass like all the other games before.

[pulsar agate]

his 2016 praetor suit was getting dmged badly and idk

[shrewd mountain]

well he either got the coin in Dark Ages or Between that 10 year gap, idk 🤷‍♂️

[pulsar agate]

i forgot how he got the fortress kf doom

[delicate grotto]

It was never explained lmao

[calm dome]

There was supposed to be a comic to explain it but said comic never came out 💀

[hard thistle]

[pulsar agate]

the coin he got it right before eternal begins by killing niloxs protector

[pulsar agate]

y

[shrewd mountain]

I hope we see other parts of hell, with maybe more sentient demons or demon lords or higher up ranks

[reef wedge]

Yeah, definitely. I played like 280 hours of Eternal, so i just hope it will be as fun to play.

[pulsar agate]

and the nine circles of hell

[calm dome]

🤷🏼‍♂️ I think it was Hugo Martin, he mentioned it once and then we never heard anything about it since

[gritty orbit]

We might see the titan the slayer defeated since it’s set in his time with the sentinel

[delicate grotto]

Most definitely. The Night Sentinels regularly battled in Hell during the war.

[reef wedge]

If the gameaplay is on par with Eternal, i couldnt care less about the story.

[winter idol]

Not to brag or anything, but I called it

[pulsar agate]

Ima go sleep cya guys

[gritty orbit]

based

[shrewd mountain]

cause i dont like the idea of the armies of DOOM just being mindless animals practically

[misty beacon]

[shrewd mountain]

i like the idea they both had sides that strategized and planned conquests

[pulsar agate]

Hloly shit

[misty beacon]

Jimmy secretely working for id, confirmed

[pulsar agate]

I saw a fucking face right next to me

[mortal ibex]

I wonder if we'll have another hub this time around?🤔. Might be the maykr ship we see the slayer shooting out from in the trailer at 0:48.

[gritty orbit]

doom strategy game when

[shrewd mountain]

demons with higher ranks and higher brain capacity like the hell priests

[molten verge]

can we just acknowledge that to reload the SSG the Slayer cockflips it like a Terminator?

[shrewd mountain]

I WOULD LOVE THE RETURN OF AN ACCURATE DOOM 64 UNMAKER

[pulsar agate]

my brain is imagining stuff rn

[gritty orbit]

The marauder does it too, we might get pre hell transformed marauders holy shit

[reef wedge]

Is Hugo Martin still involved?

[vapid lodge]

i also commented somewhere that the doom slayer should "air stomp" like in Crysis 2 and 3, i said this before Eternal and the closest thing i got was the hammer slam

[pulsar agate]

i havent slept for 3 days but the growling i always heard that

[shrewd mountain]

hopefully we can get the meathook later in the campaign, maybe as a weapon attachment upgrade or you obtain it later in a mission

[shy locust]

I think this just became the greatest day of my life

[gritty orbit]

Eh I feel like the shield bash is supposed to replace it

[pulsar agate]

it's release should be

[shrewd mountain]

the meathook HAS to be attached sometime before 2016 for the lore to make sense

[shy locust]

until that day arrives

[vapid lodge]

idk but it is interesting that David isnt involved anymore... and Andrew is working on Iron Lung with Markiplier....

[molten verge]

some of you are too damn obsessed over the meathook

[gritty orbit]

I think weapon mods have been completely removed in TDA since it’s set in the medieval ages

[pulsar agate]

the ssg we use in 2016 is not doom slayers ssg

[mortal ibex]

U mean after 2016?

[shrewd mountain]

the iron lung movie is like a dream film for me, A DOOM composer and written and acted by markiplier on a very niche horror game

[pulsar agate]

u can get it from UAC dead soldiers

[rocky ginkgo]

Humans drop bombs, gods drop Doom Slayer!

[shrewd mountain]

the meathook was a weapon from the slayers past in the dark ages, it wouldnt make sense for it to be added before he was sealed away in the kadinger sanctum

[pulsar agate]

that means doom slayers ssg in 2016 is not his actual ssg shown in eternal and dark ages rather than the ones in doom 1 and doom 2

[shy locust]

[tulip canyon]

https://youtu.be/HbH2aPzqTZs?si=POQcM1JH-2IqHt2x

[mortal ibex]

Ye you're right

[shrewd mountain]

the SSG was just found on a body in 2016

[shy locust]

Doomdiver?

[vapid lodge]

yeah but who could be working on the OST ? please not that other guy from id, i forgot his name, the one that claimed to be working with Mick on the OST

[shrewd mountain]

oh that guy-

[vapid lodge]

Chad Mossholder? did i guess it right?

[pulsar agate]

yeah not his actual ssg

[shrewd mountain]

maybe he could do something but i dont really see how his involvement improved the eternal OST

[pulsar agate]

its the one from doom 1 and doom 2

[shrewd mountain]

wasnt he just the one to splice it together?

[shrewd mountain]

i dont think his sentinel SSG was the same one in DOOM 2

could be??? but you do find and lose that shotgun a lot in game

[pulsar agate]

his sentinel ssg is in dark ages and eternal

[shrewd mountain]

plus it probably would have to be the SSG from DOOM 64

oh nvm lol- yea that makes sense

[vast sleet]

the mecha fights are freaking cool, i wonder if there will be more kind of titans demons

[pulsar agate]

when he was burried in the sarcophagus ((kadingir sanctum))

[shrewd mountain]

im still confused on the UAC base on mars? is it the same MARS from the slayers original timeline from DOOM 1 AND 2?

[zinc viper]

game not even out yet 😭

[shrewd mountain]

cause its 100% not the same one from 2016, since that was only founded 200 years before the events of 2016 i think

[pulsar agate]

eternal and 2016 happen in another universe

[mortal ibex]

Dont think it is. Different universe

[shrewd mountain]

yea but is the mars base the same UAC from the CLASSIC marine universe or the same UAC from 2016?

cause it doesnt make sense for the same UAC to be founded millenia before the slayers found in 2016

[pulsar agate]

No

[shrewd mountain]

unless hell just distorts time?? idk

[pulsar agate]

wait I dont understand what u say

[shrewd mountain]

i think 2016 and eternal are the same tho? samuel is in both so

[pulsar agate]

Yes theyre in the same universe

[shrewd mountain]

no theres a mars base in the trailer for Dark ages, most likely UAC???

but the uac in 2016s timeline finds the slayer supposedly millenia later

[pulsar agate]

Wait what where

[shrewd mountain]

is the UAC just that old?? or is it the original UAC from the classic DOOM games

[shrewd mountain]

the scene where the atlan is fighting the titan

[pulsar agate]

where is the mars base

[shrewd mountain]

it could be a sentinel base but it looks too??? UAC-ish

[pulsar agate]

let me see the trailer again and i will answer ya

[mortal ibex]

Hmm it looks like mars but the architectural buildings does not look like UAC facilities

[shrewd mountain]

looks too human

[sharp moat]

Its def some UAC base on Mars. Its too smooth and industrial

[shrewd mountain]

its either an old UAC base or, some sort of more mechanical SENTINEL base??

[winter idol]

nothing looks like the UAc in the trailer

[shrewd mountain]

idk it doesnt look that sentinel-y either

its kinda missing that grand architecture

[pulsar agate]

What the fuck it actually does

[sharp moat]

1:35 when Doom guy is fighting off the titan you can see a UAC base in the back. It also has the same red filter like mars i think

[pulsar agate]

and it is sentinel made

Yk who founded UAC?

[shrewd mountain]

its weird it looks like an argent tower type thing but with a halo ring- and blue energy?

[pulsar agate]

Samuel hayden ((the seraphim)) and the UAC base could be inspired by it

[mortal ibex]

Looks like there is an army of sentinels fighting on the roofs in that part where mars is shown

[pulsar agate]

The blue energy is sentinel energy or pure argent energy

[shrewd mountain]

the sentinels ARE a bit aware of the slayers original timeline?? the khan makyr mentions the slayers family and original timeline

but i doubt itll be explored much

[pulsar agate]

Btw it looks like we are in hell

cuz of floating chunks

[shrewd mountain]

ehh, hell has a more distinct skybox

[wheat galleon]

Yeeeowch

[shrewd mountain]

the one in that scene shows space and non of that

firey dark clouds with lightning

[sharp moat]

these destroyed sentinal cities look cool

[tranquil badge]

Everything looks cool

[shrewd mountain]

also one thing i never understood, is argent d'nur in hell itself? or is only that one city in hell?

[sharp moat]

Btw baddass that theres a Nailgun

[pulsar agate]

Man i wish necropolis was better in 2016 when i was playing doom 2016 in 2017 i got so hyped cuz of the word necropolis but when I saw how bad the map is only at the end of the level it looked good

[shrewd mountain]

cause in codex, it says that the entire planet was consumed, but the planet doesnt look like its in hell?? just taken over by demons

[pulsar agate]

parts were eaten by hell

[shrewd mountain]

and the level argent dnur is like, very clearly not in the same planet

with the entire city floating in the void

[pulsar agate]

Parts were eaten by hell

[hard thistle]

I wonder if we’ll see Samur bring Doomguy to the Divinity Machine in Taras Nabad, and of course the Civil War that brought Valen to essentially turn his son into the Icon of Sin.

[sharp moat]

the new Plasma Gun looks sick

[pulsar agate]

yuh and i hope it deals more dmg now

[hard thistle]

I’m gonna call the gun that churns and spits out skulls the Skullhacker.

[shrewd mountain]

WHERE IS THE PLASMA GUN??????

[sharp moat]

1:06

[shrewd mountain]

TYY

[empty furnace]

skullhacker

[hard thistle]

The rapid-fire weapon that looks so freaking sick!

[delicate grotto]

I assume the game will start with the attack on Taras Nabad. But it could also be years later, while the Unholy Wars are still ongoing.

[sharp moat]

my guess is its taking over the place of the Heavy Cannon

[pulsar agate]

Reminds me of a classic doom weapon ngl

[empty furnace]

please bring back the mobile turret and ballista

mobile turret with 5 barrels when

[sharp moat]

The Nailgun might be in place of the Ballista for its role as some heavy hitting weapon?

[plucky haven]

we have a shield

[pulsar agate]

ballista has sentinel origin

[placid mist]

I hope we get to go ham with some sorta melee weapon at some point

[delicate grotto]

This upcoming game definitely looks more akin to the classic games than Eternal, in terms of level design and combat. Although there isn’t much to go off of.

[tranquil badge]

What about skullspewer

[empty furnace]

ballista originated in sentinel prime

[shrewd mountain]

i wish they made the slayer the betrayer and have him lose his son to become the icon, it would make a lot more sense narratively but i still love commander valen

[empty furnace]

and its balanced theres no reason not to bring it back

[mystic jay]

I think that’s what the flail is gonna be.

[sharp moat]

honestly Id Software should pull a big dick move and just give us ALL the weapons back and customize our weapons we wanna hold

[shrewd mountain]

imagine the slayer adopted the life in sentinel prime before the dark ages and had another family and son on that planet

[weary current]

valen is a based man

[barren warren]

bone grinder is definitely the chain gun replacement

[placid mist]

Ah right, it did have that

[pulsar agate]

My mom told me she will buy me anything i want when she is back home from somewhere

[hard thistle]

The other big questions I have are; if we get a multiplayer, would it be gladiator themed, does Doomguy eventually get the Meathook, and do we get to customize his gear? Because he looks so freaking hardcore and metal!

[shrewd mountain]

just so he'd have more of an arc in eternal, and him trying to find redemption with the sentinels

[plucky haven]

it looks like a shotgun not really a chain gun

[sharp moat]

i almost thought i was looking at the Doom 64 Unmaker

[pulsar agate]

Do not think that I am a minor because I am not a minor

[shrewd mountain]

i hope its not like battlemode- i hope its not another 1v2 type game

[hard thistle]

I also cannot freaking wait to play with the Atlan and pilot the Dragon!

[pulsar agate]

I still live with my parents cuz my mom does not trust me to live alone

[hard thistle]

That is fair, friend!

[tranquil badge]

im thinking its going to more like 2016 than eternal
the gameplay shown had a more slower and tankier feel to it rather then eternals faced paced and crazy gameplay

[limpid yoke]

why

[pulsar agate]

While she trusted my older brother when he was only 15

[shrewd mountain]

battlemode is sometimes fun but now its just a bit boring

[barren warren]

better be one of the superweapons

[sage adder]

Hoping (if we do get the meathook) that it can yank staggered demons towards you, especially if this is more boots-on-ground like 2016.

[limpid yoke]

Play modded

[shrewd mountain]

I hope we see the return of the original unmaker and not the MAKYR technology one

[hard thistle]

Agreed. As Hugo mentioned in his streams, this game is more like a monster truck. Heavy, impactful and certainly vicious!

[shrewd mountain]

with the upgrades like DOOM 64

[tranquil badge]

indeed

[meager cliff]

Is this the same slayer as doom eternal?

[sharp moat]

btw i noticed the levels they show seem more open. Returning to Classic map design????

[radiant kettle]

yes

[shrewd mountain]

in secret areas, or maybe through slayer gates, i like the idea of the slayer gates powering the unmaker rather than unlocking it

[worn crow]

the soundtrack better be fire or else i might have to say a bad word..

[chilly wagon]

We are so back

[agile osprey]

yes

[radiant kettle]

ummm didnt u see the trailer smhhh

[shrewd mountain]

"Im going to shit yourself"

[tardy stream]

i was going to kill myself this year but this doom annoucnemnt has given me a reason to live

[meager cliff]

He look a bit silly like when is this set

[civic flame]

FUCKIN LETS GOOOO

[hard thistle]

Yes it is! The DOOM Slayer’s legend began in Taras Nabad in Argent D’Nur, and continues in 2016 and Eternal.

[mystic jay]

Hopefully. The arenas in Eternal are fun for sure but they can get very claustrophobic. The first level in TAG2 was a step in the right direction IMO.

[hard thistle]

So in the canon, it’s after DOOM 64, and before 2016.

[shrewd mountain]

yes

[worn crow]

no

[sharp moat]

Id Software just flexing on us now that we are getting to ride a freaking Mech and Dragon

[pulsar agate]

They should add a co-op mode in dark ages where someone is the doom slayer and someone is a sentinel fighting alongside with him the doom guy

[shrewd mountain]

HOPEFULLY WE CAN USE THE DEMONIC CRUCIBLE FINALLY

[tardy stream]

im scared the mech is just a cutscene

[agile osprey]

between doom 64 and doom 2016

[civic flame]

So in theory we will see how they betrayed the Night Sentinels?

[sharp moat]

the bad timeline

[grizzled sequoia]

man

[shrewd mountain]

"press E for cutscene"

[pulsar agate]

the demonic crucible is not doom slayers actual crucible

[tardy stream]

ill shoot myself istg

[shrewd mountain]

yea but the actual crucible would still be in the titan in taras nabad

[slender onyx]

the mecha is going to be so badass, about damn time they let us use it

[shrewd mountain]

so using the demonic one would only make sense if they plan on keeping a crucible in the arsenal

[meager cliff]

Bit there's a thingy about the doom mulitiverse which is basically says that each game is a different mulitiverse with a different slayer that's why doom 2016 and eternal are so different they are in different mulitiverses

[lean pilot]

just beat the game its lowkey mid

[tardy stream]

i nned to beat UN on the main eternal campaign first its the last thing i need to do to 100% it

[delicate grotto]

Nah, the Devs know we wanted to control that Mech in Eternal. I doubt they’d show us it again only to fake us out with a cutscene

[hard thistle]

You know, after a bunch of games that were some bad L’s for the industry, and especially the players, like Modern Warfare 2023 and Suicide Squad, this game came in and said “you want fun? TAKE IT!”

[shrewd mountain]

idk if the slayer would get a SECOND crucible, i doubt it-

[sharp moat]

Gonna miss the meat hook but i hope the Flail can do that job

[sage adder]

Don't 2016 and Eternal take place in the same universe, just years later

[mystic jay]

… No?

[slender onyx]

they do

[sage adder]

Yeah

[shrewd mountain]

plus the DOOM slayer has flashbacks about THE DEMONIC crucible so, it would be cool to see him use it eventually

[empty furnace]

hear me out: dual weapons

[stray pollen]

I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a crazy set piece that would lead to the dead titan in taras nabad

[pulsar agate]

What dissapointed me are the turrets in ARC complex

[tardy stream]

they have to leave the blade in the titans head so i bet he will

[delicate grotto]

Hell yeah, good luck

[meager cliff]

So how's the slayer changed so much?

[delicate grotto]

Yeah fr

[tardy stream]

i died on the icon boss fight a year ago and i just gave up

[pulsar agate]

My older brother a few months ago played doom eternal on my pc

[shrewd mountain]

if its gonna be a cutscene, at least let it be a button to trigger it

[delicate grotto]

Ah shit that sucks

[sage adder]

Its been years between the two games

[empty furnace]

doom came back with the milk

[slender onyx]

he was working out probably, like holy shit he got BUFF after 2016

[tardy stream]

that put me in a modd for 3 months

[placid mist]

Feels like more of a gothic/metal style in the trailer and I dig it

[shrewd mountain]

or a quicktime event at least- not JUST WATCHING IT- >:C

[pulsar agate]

and when be reached there he got so dissapointed

[delicate grotto]

Sweett

[stray pollen]

Hear me out: mix berserk and blood punch - BLOOD FISTS

[slender onyx]

im specially excited to see what they're going to do with the story

[pulsar agate]

my brother is a wolfenstein fan

[empty furnace]

doom dark ages praetor suit might be my favorite one

[mystic jay]

@hard thistle Inform this man if you don’t mind

[hard thistle]

FACTS!

[pulsar agate]

nothing beats the 2016 one

[delicate grotto]

Yeahh, it definitely sets you up to feel like you’re gonna do more than watch a cutscene. And nice! I honestly have yet to play a Wolfenstein game. I need to.

[slender onyx]

i really wanna see more of argent d nur and get to know the night sentinels, maybe they'll show when commander valen made his deal with hell

[pulsar agate]

idk its just too iconic for me

[shrewd mountain]

i hope they keep the berserk power up quick and powerful, the ETERNAL berserk had such repetitive slow animations, THEY WERE AWESOME ANIMATIONS but i prefer 2016's quick punches rather then ETERNALS

[slender night]

think you mean universes and not multiverses

[empty furnace]

you damn right

[slender night]

we'll be closer to the end of the 2020s than DOOM Eternal once TDA drops

[stray pollen]

I really really hope they mix it up between berserk and blood punch where we just use our car sized fists to gib demons

[hard thistle]

By the by, it’s hella dope to see the community excited for this game, and I’m here with you guys!

[pulsar agate]

btw i have a theory that the earth you see in the holt is doom guys actual earth

[sharp moat]

who ever let Doom Guy wear a cape was cooking

[hard thistle]

The New Order is one of the best modern games I have ever played. The New Colossus is not that far behind.

[shrewd mountain]

I installed a mod where the berserk kills are a mix of berserk and normal glory kills

[pulsar agate]

The new order man i love the game

[slender onyx]

holy shit imagine we get doomguy killing the titan

[shrewd mountain]

so its not AS repetitive as before- one man can only rip off a soldiers head so many times before its boring

[timid ridge]

And it’s badass

[slender night]

New Order's storyline is probably the best I've consumed, only thing that maybe comes close is Half-Life's Combine story arc

[shrewd mountain]

Kratos slayer

[delicate grotto]

Damn I’ll be sure to check it out then. Always looking for good FPS experiences

[pulsar agate]

Bro when i hear new doom game i am imagining a very good doom game and very good hell

[plucky haven]

bad to the bone gun

[delicate grotto]

Doom is always good that’s why

[plucky haven]

going to call it that

[pulsar agate]

doom eternal hell was boring

[sharp moat]

they are adding a parry system too. God i wanted that ever since Ultrakill came out

[shrewd mountain]

Maybe we will see some quake inspired weapons?? i dont play quake but that one gun reminds me of the nailgun in quake

[pulsar agate]

and only 3 levels in hell man

[hard thistle]

New Order's plot is incredible. A perfect example of mending meaningful and political narrative with a video game plot. Lots of commentary on the horrors of Nazism and their imitators, while still having the tone and feel of a great and fun videogame on its own.

[radiant kettle]

the combine have a story??

[chilly wagon]

Doom is always really good but I'm not sure how this one plays it doesn't look like doom eternal quick switchy high replayability it looks like a boomer shooter no?

[shrewd mountain]

the whole game feels like its leaning heavily into quake

[radiant kettle]

but true, i looove tno so muchh i wish tnc was as good as tno..

[slender night]

...yeah? I mean that the Half-Life 2 to Half-Life Alyx storyline with the Combine is fire.

[shrewd mountain]

half life alyx is the best half life game in my opinion

[whole flint]

Welp, guess I have to learn how to play my keyboard lol

[pulsar agate]

I dont like half life alyx cuz its only vr and we also play as alyx idk why I have hatred for alyx

[radiant kettle]

o half life alyx was before hl2 sooo u can say the combine got lazy and devolved- and gordon beat their asses for it ig..

[sharp moat]

you also have to remember Doom Eternal's gameplay i would argue didnt show how truly fast and insane the gameplay would feel.

My guess is the Dark Ages trailer is just tryna show off whats new before we really see how the gameplay may become

[stray pollen]

I played new order and old blood last year, very very well done games.

[empty furnace]

that cape is fire

[shrewd mountain]

half life alyx is the best vr experience made

[pulsar agate]

gordon is hust overpowered

[radiant kettle]

hes cheating with his suit though smhh..

[shrewd mountain]

in my opinion at least, i think its the best vr game made so far

[stray pollen]

Also I wonder how the glory kills are gonna look like

[pulsar agate]

yuh

[radiant kettle]

you can see one in the trailer i think

[empty furnace]

shii i would not mind a doom and quake crossover

[slender night]

I think part of the appeal of Wolfenstein to me is just the fact you can shred the absolute disgusting terrors that the Nazis were to pieces. It's satisfying to know that in the universe every Nazi you kill is one less horror off the face of the Earth. But the plot and gameplay itself is also amazing, and can't forget Mick's amazing score.

[shrewd mountain]

I would love dynamic glory kills where you arent locked in a camera angle

[slender night]

Quake III

[shrewd mountain]

idk how it would work but it would be interesting

[radiant kettle]

theres some sort of demon riding a pinky and after shooting it, the slayer hits it off

[chilly wagon]

True but with the open ended levels their usually amazing level design looks like it's been put away for open levels that don't have much except nice art aswell

[delicate grotto]

It’s definitely gonna be different from Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. The devs went into this project with those intentions. But hey, that doesn’t mean it’s gonna be less fun.

[slender night]

Alyx has the multitool though

[pulsar agate]

Quake 3 was my first quake game

[radiant kettle]

darn resistance fighters cant stop cheating ughh..

[shrewd mountain]

The end of the DOOM campaign, the slayer discoveres a potal, OUT COMES JOHN QUAKE

[slender night]

They sv_cheats 1'd their way to victory. Truly heartbreaking.

[thin zinc]

i need official doom the dark ages wallpapers!

[hard thistle]

The new doom reveal is so hype. You can have a fucking chainsaw, shield, and after 4 long years, you can finally pilot the mach And you can ride a dragon

[pulsar agate]

same for my phone ft

[radiant kettle]

eli is the only good resistance member cuuus he plays the game fairly smh

[sharp moat]

true but they also havent shown a lot of these maps but we do see these epic sentinal buildings we can actually go to with Flying dragons and Titans

[shrewd mountain]

JOHN QUAKE AND JOHN DOOM TEAM UP AND KILL ALL THE BAD

[delicate grotto]

Damn I can’t wait for Quakecon now. I need to see more gameplay

[thin zinc]

is doom guy getting sent back in time or what?

[chilly wagon]

Yeah is this just the quake game they always wanted to make? I'm excited for it for sure going to play the shit out of it but I wonder if we are ever going to see a regular doom game showing what happens after TAG2

[shrewd mountain]

its a prequel

[radiant kettle]

its a prequel sooo no

[pulsar agate]

is the quakecon doom nvm im stupid its quake 3

[radiant kettle]

for us he is buuut in the timeline nop

[hard thistle]

It is a prequel

[chilly wagon]

Yeah the mech suit looked dope

[slender night]

I mean, he has about the same powers as Kleiner. They're both old men doing sciencey stuff. But enough about Half-Life, we're here for DOOM.

[delicate grotto]

It’s a prequel to 2016. Covers his time with the Sentinels on Argent D’Nur, before becoming trapped and entombed in Hell.

[thin zinc]

ok

[rancid mulch]

we’re going back in time to the before doom 2016 to get demons OFF THE MENU…

[shrewd mountain]

yall DOOM THE DARK AGES is just a quake game in disguise

[thin zinc]

does this game take place AFTER doom 1, 2 and 64?

[sharp moat]

i hope people understand "The Dark Ages" doesnt actually mean literal Medieval time in Earth's history. Its clearly about the Knight Sentinels on Argent D'Nur

[chilly wagon]

So after the divinity machine after doom 64?

[empty furnace]

what would an imp taste like

[radiant kettle]

dude kleiner is a dirty cheater he literally debeaks headcrabs

[misty beacon]

you are a quake game in disguise

[pulsar agate]

yes

[clear elbow]

Steak

[shrewd mountain]

IMPS look like small archviles and i lowkey love the design

[slender night]

Every FPS is a Quake game in disguise. Look at the engines!

[radiant kettle]

i was looking at that too, i dont know if those are imps

[chilly wagon]

This is true

[empty furnace]

imps are premature archviles

[radiant kettle]

i kinda thought prowlers but i have nooo idea what those could be, they seem too slow for an imp

[shrewd mountain]

I WOULD LOVE THE SUMMORS TO RETURN, maybe they can be support demons for archviles making the archvile more powerful, like a medic and heavy combo

[delicate grotto]

Yeah it’s between D64 and D2016. Divinity Machine comes into play while he’s in Taras Nabad with the Sentinels.

[chilly wagon]

Hopefully we get to see the slayer killing tons of titans

[rancid mulch]

ehh not really, when i first heard the game would be set in medieval times i kinda believed the same but judging from the trailer it seems that they’re going for a different type of medieval style compared to quake

[pulsar agate]

bro i filled a hole with gum i created near my bed and now my keeps getting ugh that feeling cant describe it

[clear elbow]

I know it’s not canon but Doom Zero is a prequel to 2016

[pulsar agate]

Dark ages

[shrewd mountain]

imagine you have to kill a summoner demon before you are able to kill the archvile

[chilly wagon]

So it must have been pretty recently in the timeline as in he only just got his powers?

[slender night]

what were you doing to make that hole there chief?

[clear elbow]

What

[delicate grotto]

Well, sorta. I mean he does get trapped in Hell for millennia, or even longer, until Samuel finds him and wakes him up in Doom 2016

[slender night]

DOOM Zero isn't official eitherway. Insomniac is referring to the DOOM mod Zero, not the old leaked name for Dark Ages "Year Zero"

[shrewd mountain]

like idk the archvile is invincible until you kill it supporting summoner demon?? idk- i just think it would be a cool dynamic

[rocky ginkgo]

So the red dot on the Slayer chest is a port to connect with the mech!

[uneven rivet]

Seems to be so
I presume it's after his first victory against a Titan that made him the hottest thing amongst the Sentinels

[pulsar agate]

i was bored so i dug a 6 inches deep hole 3 cm wide with a pen

[slender night]

well no fucking wonder that's gone wrong for you then there buddy pal

[pulsar agate]

idk how can a pen go that deep

[shrewd mountain]

doom guys red nipple returns and is 3 times the size

[delicate grotto]

Not sure how long the Unholy Wars lasted after he got his powers, but it’s implied it went on for a while.

[chilly wagon]

Oh yeah I forgot about that, it will be pretty cool to see how everything loops around to go full circle from doom64-doom dark ages where he gets put in a tomb then to eternal where he gets put in a tomb again lol

[delicate grotto]

Yeah lol

[pulsar agate]

when i heard that the name is actually dark ages

[uneven rivet]

Smh smh he couldn't be everywhere at once so the Wars had to take some time,smh smh Maykr trickery

So probably a fairly long while

[chilly wagon]

So doom guy gets turned into a bounty hunter for the sentinels and gets put in a tomb to bake then gets really angry, then the events of 2016 and eternal happen

[shrewd mountain]

i hope they bring back EVERY demon from every entry, like maybe hell guards, the mother demon in 64, the mastermind,

[slender night]

Is it just me or is "The Dark Ages" part in the logo misaligned?

[shrewd mountain]

maybe the unused hell hound from classic doom, the one with two heads

[pulsar agate]

i was thinking of that earth is being attacked and urdak has complety fallen doom slayer with no powers embarks in an adventru with demon killing spree

[slender night]

On the banner, I mean

[chilly wagon]

It looks like he has the spike weapon from the gladiator fight as a weapon lol

[chilly wagon]

He has is powers though he only recently got them

[rocky ginkgo]

Slayer can now parry and stan the enemies with his shield! I noticed in the trailer that they didn't show any verticality in Doom's movement! Maybe this time is more focused on ground movement and brute force, since he has a shield doesn't need to move fast and dodge!

[chilly wagon]

Yeah there was no jumping

[pulsar agate]

I was thinking that would be doom dark ages when i first heard its name is doom dark ages

I didn't play doom for a couple weeks and completely forgot how to quickswitch

[hexed condor]

One question

Will this new doom game be on ps4?

[slender night]

No

[misty beacon]

lol...

only PS3

[hexed condor]

Us broke bitches get nothing

[pulsar agate]

no only playstation 0

[fading socket]

Don't think so it will be only on PS5

[shrewd mountain]

i like the concept of when doom guy first gets his powers, hes unaware of how much strength he truly has, like spiderman when he accidentally almost kills someone with his bare hands

[lean pilot]

lmao

[hexed condor]

Bruh I just wanted to buy a cool game

[charred blaze]

gonna have to buy a ps5 oof.....

[misty beacon]

only after being exclusive on the gameboy color for a year tho

[pulsar agate]

anyone can kill anyone with his bare hands

[shrewd mountain]

i like the idea of the doom slayer coming to terms with his anger and learning to control it

[charred blaze]

unrelated but best and last blessing ps4 players got was elden ring

[shadow quest]

no, i talked to my friend and he said it's only on ps5

[fading socket]

It will be on steam too cuz it available on steam store to wishlist

[slender night]

How's that MS-DOS version coming along?

[pulsar agate]

the slayer is just super saiyan

[charred blaze]

yeah but my pc wont tank it probably

[shrewd mountain]

you know what i meant lmao

[shadow quest]

https://tenor.com/view/kratos-heart-kratos-heart-god-of-war-god-of-war-ragnarok-gif-27089804

kratos moment

[misty beacon]

Runs to fast on newer processors, make sure not to press the TURBO Button on you PC

[hexed condor]

Shit. I was actually really excited

[shrewd mountain]

Doom slayer is just a more metal sci fi nerds version of a saiyan

[charred blaze]

that would be superb but as the new game is a prequel he probably is as angry as ever

[rotund totem]

dinely a new game

[pulsar agate]

yes

doom 2016 made me love the doom franchise more

[slender night]

Dang. I'll hold out and get the Atari Jaguar port then.

[charred blaze]

same

[shadow quest]

me too, i play on only ps4 so I'm gonna have to upgrade too 🥲

[shrewd mountain]

too bad we wont see the return of vega 😔, maybe we can talk to the father but i doubt it

[misty beacon]

Prolly better 🙏

[pulsar agate]

thats why the 2016 praetor suit is iconic for me and my fav

[shrewd mountain]

2016's armor is just peak design

[shadow quest]

nuh uh

[shrewd mountain]

i wish they added that style to fortnite instead of 4 eternal reskins

[chilly wagon]

This suit we just got is dope

[pulsar agate]

Man I wish i could return back to the days where i knew nothing abt doom

[shadow quest]

i wish he would come back to fortnite GOOD LORD

[charred blaze]

its medieval so we probably will have something like a fairy lol

[chilly gust]

LMAO FAE VEGA

[charred blaze]

its ultra iconic for me but i also love how awesome the doom eternal praetor suit is

[chilly wagon]

I need one of his tombs to lay in for 12 months

[shrewd mountain]

i only got into doom around when he got added to fortnite, not because of him being added but because people started talking about doom again

this is my first experience waiting for a new doom game and i could've never picked a better time to be in

[misty beacon]

On a serious note tho, while i would love for PS4 players to enjoy it too.
You have to keep in mind:

If they build the game, to be able to run on old hardware, it would be heavily limited for everyone else as well.
Its not just "Graphic Settings". Also world geometry, enemy count, enemy AI, game logic and so much more.

So, a release on older hardware would make the game worse for everyone.

[pulsar agate]

((what i mean is no knowledge abt what is gonna happen in that level and what is in that level what is the lore his story blah blah blah and the list goes on))

[shrewd mountain]

DOOM AND GTA 6 coming next year??

[pulsar agate]

I will be 19 or 20 when doom dark ages releades

[slender night]

Ackshually DOOM came out 31 years ago 🤓

[shrewd mountain]

next year is filled with hits, i cant wait

[charred blaze]

true but honestly it doesnt seem like its gonna be soo much heavier than doom eternal

[frank lava]

lol

[chilly gust]

Similar story here. Played it last year, fell head over heels for the whole series (that includes the movies lmao). I am so hyped for this game!!!

[pulsar agate]

turning 19 next month though

[hard thistle]

HYPE

[shrewd mountain]

my ex's dad was into doom and it was fun bonding with him over it

[charred blaze]

obligatory we got new doom before gta 6 joke

[shrewd mountain]

i lowkey miss him, he was such a sweet dude lol

[slender night]

Porting takes time and money, no matter how big or small. Probably too tedious and also not enough people playing on older hardware for it to be worth it. Sorry chief, not happening.

[chilly gust]

We got new DOOM before Half Life 3

[pulsar agate]

my ex's brother liked everything i liked

[frank lava]

[charred blaze]

yeah true tho

[shrewd mountain]

my ex of 4 years left me over minecraft beef but id rather not get into it lol

[misty beacon]

We got 3 new dooms, after doom 3, before HL3
A sign???

[pulsar agate]

Never met him though but she told me how much I am like her brother lmao

[slender night]

Even more if you count ports and expansions.

[charred blaze]

we got a new half life before half life 3

[chilly gust]

Most certainly so 👁️

[shrewd mountain]

imagine they bring back emotes to DOOM the dark ages, and we just see the doom slayer hitting the griddy in online

[misty beacon]

[chilly gust]

LMAO THATS RIGHT WE DID

[vapid lodge]

most likely the game will be made for ps5 pro(as extra), which is a bit more powerful, so dark ages might have insane graphics, hence no support for PS4 and Xbox one

[pulsar agate]

THE EMOTES FROM DOOM 2016 SO NOSTALGIC LMAO I WAS RANDOMLY DOING EMOTES

[charred blaze]

did half life alyx add anything to the story tho?

[shrewd mountain]

they were the precursor to FORTNITE emotes

[frank lava]

[charred blaze]

truee

[shrewd mountain]

they added 10 seconds to the lore

[vapid lodge]

and some prequel too xD

[pulsar agate]

Anyways I will actually go to sleep its 1:25 am

[charred blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/its-peak-peak-fiction-one-piece-gif-26139262

[vapid lodge]

Romania ?

[austere dirge]

eastern europe

[charred blaze]

my man just doxxed this dude

[pulsar agate]

I am romanian but I live in greece

[vapid lodge]

ah ok

[shrewd mountain]

half life alyx is 10 hours explaining why they gotta retcon the best cliffhanger in videogame history

[charred blaze]

bruuhhh

tho it truly is the best cliffhanger in videogame history, but i wish it wasnt

[shrewd mountain]

the new cliffhanger is even more annoying

[chilly wagon]

Now I want to see how hard they make this game because I really want to see eternal levels of replayability

Like master levels and stuff like that

[shrewd mountain]

i recommend playing Entropy Zero, it takes lore from every half life game including alyx and some parts of PORTAL

and fits itself kinda nice narratively

[charred blaze]

trueee, i had a harder time playing normal difficulty in eternal than playing dark souls 3

[charred blaze]

awesome ill check it out

[misty beacon]

which one?

oh, HL Alyx?

[verbal pasture]

tf is dark ages

[misty beacon]

tf are you

[verbal pasture]

no really

[charred blaze]

new doom game jus announced

[hexed condor]

True. It's still sad tho

[verbal pasture]

RLLY

[uneven rivet]

Also wait a second

[misty beacon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tk8lkmYGWQ

[verbal pasture]

MY LIFE HAS A MEANING NOW

[bright salmon]

DOOM GAME IS INSANE

[charred blaze]

goes hard af

[misty beacon]

sry mate

[slender night]

there was an everyone ping with this trailer... how did you miss that

[uneven rivet]

Is the Demon the Slayer kicks a non-Cyborg Agadon Hunter?

[slender night]

god I love these cacodemon emojis so much

[hard thistle]

Real asf

[uneven rivet]

Or am I tripping

[misty beacon]

even i missed it, cause muted the channel

[charred blaze]

ngl i was having the worst week of my life and this trailed just kinda gave me more hope and happiness

[misty beacon]

🫂

brooo

wholesome 666/10

[bright salmon]

You play blox fruit right

[shrewd mountain]

I hope we get some flashbacks to old DOOM games and levels, maybe reimagined classic levels in modern doom graphics

[charred blaze]

good night mann

[shrewd mountain]

maybe flashbacks to DOOM 64????? and the torment the marine went through

[hard thistle]

i play rpg games like dungeon quest blade quest and a lot of horror

[slender night]

see you sometime soon goodnight everyone!

[charred blaze]

i think we will, they showed the slayer citadel on the trailer

[shrewd mountain]

DOOM 64 does share a lot of medieval themes like the new game is

[shrewd mountain]

time stamp?

[charred blaze]

right at the start isnt it? if im right

the night sentinel citadel i mean

[shrewd mountain]

hopefully we will get an explanation on what the BFG 10K WAS FIRING AT???

[chilly wagon]

Id software please open pre orders

[chilly wagon]

Demons invading the station

[shrewd mountain]

its a bit overkill for a few cacodemons 💀

[chilly wagon]

That's the UAE

[shrewd mountain]

i know lol

[misty beacon]

Other publishers who release shitty games

[empty furnace]

moon-sized cacodemon

[shrewd mountain]

i just hope we get some pre-eternal context in the new game

or a dlc or a comic or something

[chilly wagon]

Dark ages seems like a heretic or quake remake and I'm not too happy about that but I'll let them cook I guess

[charred blaze]

by the way, its probably gonna be before the slayer got the seraphim blessing, so will it be too far in the past, as in, will we be able to se modern humans or just not at all?

[shrewd mountain]

DOOM when peak???

[hard thistle]

ima be 18 by the time it comes out😭

[shrewd mountain]

ima be 20 when it comes out

[karmic pendant]

i'ma be 22-23

[chilly wagon]

After divinity machine and humans aren't alive I don't think

[charred blaze]

ill be 21 probably if it comes after march

[shrewd mountain]

i doubt this but imagine we get DARK AGES cosmetic in eternal

[hard thistle]

okay yo so why arent we talkin about that shield

[shrewd mountain]

Dark ages slayer with a doom blade would kick ass

but the shield is sick

[hot lava]

https://www.xbox.com/en-AU/games/store/doom-the-dark-ages/9PH9X0760B0T/0010

Wishlist now

[chilly wagon]

Just one more master level to tie us over till 2025

[shrewd mountain]

i wonder if we are gonna keep the chainsaw or if we are gonna get another alternative to getting ammo and health

[mint estuary]

finally, demoknight in doom

[chilly wagon]

The shield is the chainsaw

We saw very little glory kills aswell

[hard thistle]

yuppp dope as hell

[shrewd mountain]

but will it still function as a chainsaw???

[chilly wagon]

Who knows

[shrewd mountain]

like ammo confetti? i still want my AMMO CONFETTI

[chilly wagon]

We need a gameplay trailer with a HUD

[charred blaze]

true

[hard thistle]

Gonna be waitin a while

[misty beacon]

The hud changes all the time

throughout development

[shrewd mountain]

probably will get info at quakecon

[chilly wagon]

When is the next quakecon

[misty beacon]

Quakecon always has something special in the backpack

[shrewd mountain]

august maybe??

[chilly wagon]

Yippie

[charred blaze]

gonna be honest but the doom eternal hud wasnt what i expected when i first saw it, dont think it was such a fitting decision, i hope the dark ages hud is more gritty and fits better

[misty beacon]

Thu, Aug 8, 2024 – Sun, Aug 11, 2024

[shrewd mountain]

yea early august

[hard thistle]

les go

[shrewd mountain]

i turn 19 that month

[charred blaze]

letsgoo

[snow lantern]

i just saw the trailer and i just have one thing i have to say

[chilly wagon]

The game looked pretty finished they have been making it since eternal started I heard so a gameplay trailer might not be the craziest thing

[charred blaze]

come to brazil

[hard thistle]

yuh?

[snow lantern]

ITS AMAZING.

[hard thistle]

HELL YEAH!!!

[snow lantern]

THEY- I-

[misty beacon]

Trailers are always using HIGHLY POLISHED areas, just because it looks finished, doesnt mean its anywhere close to be finished.*

[shrewd mountain]

I hope my pc will run it smoothly, im sure it will- but my computer is already pretty beefy but cant even get fortnite running 120 consistent frames on performance mode

[charred blaze]

honestly the new trailer looks like exactly what were gonna see in the game

[snow lantern]

I JUST- 🥺 GODDAMN-

[frosty spear]

Who's excited for a possible deep dive into Dark Ages at Quakecon???

[chilly wagon]

That is true I agree

[hard thistle]

im replaying every damn doom tonight

[snow lantern]

HE'S DESIGN, HIS POWER, HIS POTENTIAL, THE MAN WHO SAVE TARAS NABAD, THE LEGEND, THE ONE AND ONLY.....

[shrewd mountain]

i have a 3080 with 32gb ram so I think it can handle the new doom game fine

[frosty spear]

Same Brother!!!

[misty beacon]

4090 here, les gooo bruda

[charred blaze]

i started playing blasphemous again yesterday, really wasnt expecting the new trailer

[undone siren]

yeah, you'll be fine

[hard thistle]

YESSS SIRR

[snow lantern]

IS 4070 good on the list?

[frosty spear]

https://tenor.com/view/hey-gif-22425574

[chilly wagon]

Doom eternal is one of the best optimised games ever so it should be fine

[undone siren]

I need the shredder shield now.

[misty beacon]

fuck yeah it is

[shrewd mountain]

right when i nearly escaped my DOOM fixation, ID was like "NUH UH" and sucked me back in

[undone siren]

"you ain't done tearin' yet, are ya"

[snow lantern]

im excited, i thought the day would never come on, but yet, here we are....

[misty beacon]

Performance target will probably be something like a 3060 @ 1080p

[shrewd mountain]

doom is the best optimized game but its tied to FPS so much that if you use vsync it actually hinders your experience

[misty beacon]

or whatever the fuck people are currently using the most in the market*

[chilly wagon]

It looks the same visually and it's the same engine it will run the same

[shrewd mountain]

im using a 3080 with a 1440p monitor

[frosty spear]

I wonder what new weapons they have up their sleeves, or even characters. Maybe the classic BFG from Rage 2, or even Crash from Quake 3...

[shrewd mountain]

i get lower frames but im spoiled by the pixel resolution i cant go back

[misty beacon]

you be fine, dont worry about it lol

[undone siren]

the mourning star and shield excite me so much

[chilly wagon]

For eternal I'm runing a 2070 super on 4k Ultra wide, 120-144 consistent

[misty beacon]

its idtech were talkin about

[shrewd mountain]

im begging them to bring back the classic DOOM 64 Unmaker, maybe having the slayer gates as the keys to power it up

[frosty spear]

ME TOO!!!

[hard thistle]

im so freaking ready for this TAKE MY MONEY BETHESDA

[snow lantern]

TAKE EVERYTHING

[shrewd mountain]

i like the idea of the slayer gates increasing the unmakers power rather then just unlocking a mid weapon

[frosty spear]

That would be SOOO EPIC

[frosty spear]

https://tenor.com/view/oop-take-my-money-gif-23438077

[shrewd mountain]

at the end of the campaign during the final battle, portals emerge revealing JOHN DOOM 3 AND JOHN QUAKE RANGER

they kiss platonically and kick the hell priests ass (my fanfiction)

[shrewd mountain]

joking lmao

[frosty spear]

Better yet, B.J. Blazkowicz

[snow lantern]

I'm happy that the place takes where Exultia was still around pretty much when the slayer himself sided with the Sentinels, I'm so hype to see the lore unfold even more despite been in the corrax tablets/lore

[hard thistle]

HOLY HELL WOLFINSTEIN YES

[frosty spear]

This would remind me of Spiderman: No Way Home

[snow lantern]

literally shedding tears

[shrewd mountain]

"With the power of friendship, we can do anything! Lets roll DOOM Gang!!"

[hard thistle]

I wonder is the Ballista will still be in the game

[shrewd mountain]

if it is, id imagine it would be a more powerful one or be used by the sentinels

[dreamy crow]

I’m hypeeddd

[thorny yarrow]

LEts GOOOO

[hard thistle]

As long as quick switching and crazy movement are still present then I'm buying it

[shrewd mountain]

I hope its more horde based, like having a SHIT ton of enemies come after you at once

like a whole army of soldiers you can mow down

[hard thistle]

I also hope the multi-player is good if it has one

[empty furnace]

make a fight where the power of friendship is used but in the end the heroes lose because friendship is not gonna stop the orbital death ray

[snow lantern]

wait wtf i just realized that the doom hunters are in the trailer 🤯

[hard thistle]

Yeah doom hunters used to hunt down sentinels until they went extinct

[snow lantern]

he looks so much different now though

[abstract barn]

doom eternal isnt even updated anymore

[hard thistle]

WE ARE SO BACK

[snow lantern]

or should i say back then

[abstract barn]

well they arent half robot and dead

[shrewd mountain]

i swear i thought they had 4 arms like the HUGE one on the cross in the cultist base

[abstract barn]

only the one on the cross had 4 arms

[shrewd mountain]

we better fight that one

[thorny yarrow]

I see what Hugo was saying before when he envisioned the next game playing like you're a monster truck. Hell to the very yes.

[shrewd mountain]

I love how the hell tech is similar to how the 2016 monsters GREW their armor

instead of the UAC tech, the mancubi look like a mix between 2016 and DOOM 3 mancubi

[empty furnace]

next one is gonna be like driving a tank

[shrewd mountain]

the head of the mancubus reminds me of the carcasses for some reason

in the trailer, their head shape just looks like a fatter carcass

[stark yoke]

Is this game before before what happened in doom eternal

[abstract barn]

and 2016

[snow lantern]

they look beefy, arachnatron is also there, the thing that catched my eye is the designs of the demons, especially the mancubus :0

[stark yoke]

tight

So like doom guy meeting up with the night sentinels and shit?

[shrewd mountain]

its a bit after

like after the fight on taras nabad i believe- after the divinity machine

[abstract barn]

i am kind of reserved but i hope the game is cool

[quartz remnant]

literally Prequel to Doom 2016

[shrewd mountain]

DID NOBODY NOTICE THE REVENANT LOOKS LIKE A SKELETON KNIGHT

we got skeletor in DOOM before GTA 6

[snow lantern]

XD

the doom slayer though

like honestly bro GODDAMN HE LOOKS EVEN MORE MENACING 😭

[shrewd mountain]

1:13 i swear if thats the new cacodemon design 😭

LMAO THE BASIC ZOMBIES DESIGN IS UNCHANGED FROM ETERNAL

[pseudo notch]

Probably subtle changes

[snow lantern]

for some reason i thought they were maykrs

[pseudo notch]

Either that or they're using them as placeholders

[snow lantern]

BRO THE ENVIROMENT OH MY GOD BETHESDA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH 😩

[soft turret]

I wouldn't mind them staying the same

They're just fodder for the chainsaw so it is okay

[snow lantern]

can we please talk about how the Aggadon Hunters? like the fact that they look like the Gladiator makes me question like how they really looked like

[stark yoke]

dang so they game gonna end and we gonna se how he ended up in chains n sealed

[fleet tundra]

Im so hyped for this game

[snow lantern]

TRUE

[stark yoke]

also why nobody talking about parries? 😭

[snow lantern]

I SAW THAT TOO

when doom slayer parried the attack from the hell knight

[soft turret]

Yeah that's cool as fuck

[late siren]

ola beibi

[hardy pelican]

Riding that mech shit in the Fortress of Doom has always been a dream glad it's possible

[winter vault]

Y'all think we'll see glory kills or maybe they were cut? None were in the trailer

[soft turret]

Seems like a fair exchange too since the slayer looks a lil slower

[elder pecan]

hope so

[hardy pelican]

There was one on the dragon at the end right

[soft turret]

I thought I saw one

[stark yoke]

No way they wouldn’t have some shield or flail glory kills

I doubt they got removed

[lyric dawn]

Agreed

[stray pollen]

Can we talk about how sick the revenant looks tho? Dude straight up looks like a wraith from lotr

[frosty spear]

Wonder what abilities the Plasma Rifle will have, hopefully they bring back the microwave mod

[frosty spear]

I love the new revenants!!!

[soft turret]

I hope they weren't

[lyric dawn]

Yeah, they went nuts with the designs of the demons we saw.

[soft turret]

They're a big part of modern doom

[thorny yarrow]

I can't beleive it's only a year away.

I'm so excited.

[soft turret]

Yeah, this was so sudden

[stray urchin]

hopefully less than a year away it comes out

[soft turret]

When I read about it a couple weeks back I was so hyped

[stray urchin]

the original report from a few weeks ago said it was in development for 4 years

[stray pollen]

Idk if its me but the mancubus kinda looks similar to the one in doom 3. Maybe its the color but man the demon design is gonna fuck for sure

[soft turret]

I'm aware.

That was about Eternal's dev time too

[true brook]

Can’t wait till 2025

[soft turret]

We just had no info about it unlike eternal which was revealed 2 years before release

[true brook]

Eternal dlcs worth playing ?

[charred valve]

This game looks CRAZY bro

[thorny yarrow]

The time frame this is taking place in too has me excited. This looks like it's following the Slayer's training under Commander Valen and happening during the siege of Argent D'Nur by Hell.

[soft turret]

You NEED to play them, they continue AND finish the story.

[true brook]

Good smack till dark ages come out

[thorny yarrow]

I thought I wanted follow up story, but it turns out this is actually what I wanted. Thank you ID. XD

[true brook]

I think ill replay the whole thing

[soft turret]

There's not much to do for a sequel, a prequel was the best choice.

We don't need that lore book they promised in 2021 anymore, we got a whole game now.

[thorny yarrow]

Yup. XD

They probably dropped it cause this is what they knew they were going to do instead. XD

[gritty prairie]

It's crazy how TDA shows how much Hugo and the team behind DOOM sticks to their vision, it's awesome. It's the exact type of Monster Truck gameplay Hugo described in the streams, and the artstyle has bits of fanservice like the double lever SSG that everyone saw in the Eternal concept art.

Even has the scrapped titan mech and dragons from Eternal, it's so awesome to see. Mad respect to everyone involved in the production tbh

[soft turret]

TRUE

[lyric dawn]

What was the demon near the end of the trailer? It’s before the slayer was in a mech, he hits him with a mace. That demon looks so fucking cool.

[soft turret]

It's so heavy, it feels like the opposite of Eternal's in a good way

[robust phoenix]

[soft turret]

With 2016 being retroactively in between, which is funny

[soft turret]

Literally me...

[gritty prairie]

I really, REALLY hope TDA keeps the huge enemy roster of eternal. My wishes for enemies right now are:

Tyrant/Cyberdemon as a regular enemy still
Spider Mastermind gets the Tyrant treatment (being a regular enemy type that can spawn)
DOOM 64 Pain Elemental as its own unique enemy type

[robust phoenix]

walter bob?

[soft turret]

Yes.

[robust phoenix]

marry me

[soft turret]

Patrick, we need to cook (the krabby patties)

[verbal pasture]

DOOM:the Crusades

[robust phoenix]

please marry me

[soft turret]

I'm taken, sorry man.

[robust phoenix]

doom:the ultimate meow meow age

[empty furnace]

the unholy crusades

we may encounter doom hunters

[acoustic meadow]

Doom Slayer x King Arthur fanfic when?

[cold patio]

Guys what's your thoughts on system requirements for the new doom game ?

[verbal pasture]

everyone shut up, zemini is gonna talk

[grim cloud]

watching some older interviews, mentions of invasions makes me sad again

yes hush

[verbal pasture]

Incredible message. 10/10

[soft turret]

I haven't seen them, but it prolly runs on a toaster powered by 2 potatoes

ID are goats are optimizing

[stray urchin]

expecting good optimization like the last 2 games

[acoustic meadow]

I only have carrots 😢

[verbal pasture]

I personally love apple juice.

[misty beacon]

#the-future message

your answer.

[frosty spear]

Is DOOM: The Dark Ages running on ID Tech 7 or 8???

[soft turret]

That should work, u just gotta believe in urself

[grim cloud]

It says "newest" id tech

[hard thistle]

we are so back 🙏🏻

[verbal pasture]

Then im fked.

[soft turret]

Looks like 8, definitely looks better thsn eternal

[hard thistle]

game looks peak

[grim cloud]

it doest specifcally say

[frosty spear]

I think so too

[stray urchin]

nice

[hard thistle]

anyone know when it’s being released?

[grim cloud]

"powered by the latest idTech engine"

[toxic mural]

ok, how do you all feel about the medieval aesthetic for doom? do you guys think it fits?

[snow lantern]

IM TO HYPED TO RELAX RIGHT NOW 😭

I WASNT EXPECTING THIS TODAY

[misty beacon]

2025

[toxic mural]

i think it looks sick and while i prefer the sci-fi x gothic aesthetic of doom i think this isn't too big of a jump

[grim cloud]

yep, we must all go through the 9 stages of Hype

[modern compass]

Is the game already out

[snow lantern]

ALL HAIL THE COMING OF THE DESTROYER

[hard thistle]

do yk what month? i heard early august

[vagrant onyx]

Trailer looks great. Quite a bit of plot points shown. Very much looking forward to it.

[misty beacon]

When its done.

[empty furnace]

i don’t care about that it looks fun

especially the skull gun

[grim cloud]

if i were a betting man, November 2025

[toxic mural]

imagine if we have strafejumping

[proven trellis]

i thought it was gonna be quake

[toxic mural]

it kinda feels like quake that got turned into doom lmao

[hard thistle]

crucible blade 🙏🏻 shield looks so fire

[proven trellis]

since quake would make sense with more melee

[grim cloud]

i really love the fantasy style demons mixed with all the immora tech.

[hard thistle]

anyone know the timeline?

[proven trellis]

shield looks like it replaces grenades

with the falter

[grim cloud]

I wonder what the Skull shredder weapon is called

[proven trellis]

its like plasma rifle from quake 3

[hard thistle]

would you guys like to see a parrying ability?

[proven trellis]

there is one

in the trailer he parries the hell knight

[acoustic meadow]

MY BIRTHDAY! RAHHHH

[hard thistle]

fr? i didn’t catch that

[hard thistle]

not confirmed

[acoustic meadow]

listen, a man can hope

[hard thistle]

my birthday aswell tho 😖

[acoustic meadow]

W

[grim cloud]

The Mancubi and Imps are also much larger than Eternal. Imp seems to launch green bolts? maybe its something else

[hard thistle]

[proven trellis]

maybe this was a quake game but then they attached doom to it since its a more recognizable ip

[soft turret]

Ur 365 (or more) days off

[proven trellis]

the colurs remind me of what a modern quake 1 game would be

[misty beacon]

yall are yapping some wild shit

[hard thistle]

how so?

[proven trellis]

☝️ 🤓

[hard thistle]

d1 hater

[grim cloud]

its called having a "Nerd Off"

[proven trellis]

also the duke nukem kick was pretty awesome

[hard thistle]

bro thought he did something

[soft turret]

Maybe, but the game also seems to go along with Hugo's 3 year old promise of the next doom game being slower

[hard thistle]

does it take place in the future?

[misty beacon]

?

[proven trellis]

true true

[soft turret]

No, the past

[placid mist]

Probably a prequel

[soft turret]

During Doom Guy's time in argent d nur

[proven trellis]

because they literally have a nail gun in the game

[soft turret]

Hey, it fits the medieval aesthetic

[acoustic meadow]

what if they made Doom Guy a convicted felon

[placid mist]

I didn't know I needed a viking doom slayer until now

[hard thistle]

GOTY incoming?

[proven trellis]

it does, im just saying that it probably was froma quake build of the game or smth but it doesnt really matter its still epic

[soft turret]

And argent d nur was always a heavily advanced society with medieval aesthetics, so it could be either

[misty beacon]

id software doesnt do shit like this.

They arent amateurs

[hard thistle]

the soundtrack is going to be unbelievably hard 😤

[proven trellis]

i love how the ssg reloads like the shotguns in dusk

[grim cloud]

I love Quake, but Doom wins every time. Maybe they will sneak some quake into dark ages

[proven trellis]

wonder whos is making it it aint mick no more

[soft turret]

Are david leavy and andrew back?

[misty beacon]

David Levy, Andrew Hulshult

[onyx ether]

probably andrew hulshult

[proven trellis]

quake has been in an identity crisis so until it gets a reboot i dont think any new id fans will enjoy it

[misty beacon]

hopefully

[empty furnace]

argent d’nur sounds like a great place to live

[onyx ether]

i'd be so down for a quake game

[placid mist]

I wonder how they're gonna handle the resource management in TDA compared to 2016 and Eternal

[lean pilot]

3 replies LMAO

[proven trellis]

so true

after this HAS to be quake

[storm fiber]

i actually hope either hulshult, levy, or maybe even both make an appearance in the soundtrack

[soft turret]

Basically medieval europe but with futuristic tech

[grim cloud]

head cannon mode: Dark Knights/Knights are maurders/sentinels that went mad.

[storm fiber]

unfortunately i don't think we;ll see mick for obvious reasons

[proven trellis]

if they make another doom game no matter how good it is theyll be milking doom ip

[empty furnace]

what happened with mick

[thorn delta]

https://tenor.com/view/john-wick-gif-26386247

[placid mist]

Yeah, it's a shame but this is likely the case

[robust oar]

i really really hope David's back

[proven trellis]

they mistreated him and put him through hell pretty much

[storm fiber]

id didn't pay him + a lotta other shit he did NOT deserve

[proven trellis]

corporate stuff

[storm fiber]

yeah

[hard thistle]

is bro trynna hate aswell?☕️

[empty furnace]

oh ok

[soft turret]

He got fucked over by that guy (forgot his name) and also got slandered in 2020

[misty beacon]

allegedly*
As we do not know the full story.

[proven trellis]

its pretty much a fact

[thorn delta]

Like so real

[proven trellis]

but not relevant rn

[lean pilot]

no i think its funny how you replied 3 times like why you fuming

[storm fiber]

if they make one after TDA i'd agree, but if they let it simmer by releasing some other games, maybe even a new quake by the time of another release, i don't think that would be the case

[placid mist]

Wasn't it Bethesda mainly? I could be wrong tho

[soft turret]

Whether or not they're allegations, he's not coming back.

[hard thistle]

how am i fuming gang?

[soft turret]

Leave it to Andrew and David.

[storm fiber]

it was id mainly, but bethesda tried to help but couldn't for some reason, i fogrot

[proven trellis]

no yeah i just mean if they relaease ANOTHER doom RIGHT after dark ages its being milked

[lean pilot]

reading is hard

[storm fiber]

we never thought mick was ever coming back, we just hope that either hulshult or levy would

[misty beacon]

If they would release a new doom every single year, yes.
But i wouldnt say they milk anything

[hard thistle]

3 replies that meant absolutely nothing. I guess i am pretty mad

[grim cloud]

so isn't Xbox doin some more stuff this week? I heard something about some deep dives on stuff they talk about in the showcase

[hard thistle]

Call of Doom

[misty beacon]

https://tenor.com/view/better-call-saul-lalo-salamanca-better-call-saul-season6-lalo-be-nice-gif-25432528

[lean pilot]

i am a very friendly fellow

[storm fiber]

i doubt id would ever pull an activision with the modern warfare series so i think we're good for the most part

[lean pilot]

LALO

[soft turret]

They shouldn't, we already have a doom game covering every era, and raising the Slayer from his tomb after Davoth's demise is pointless.

[velvet storm]

Relationship with eternal ended, dark ages is new baby

[misty beacon]

definitely lol

[placid mist]

Hm, well either way it sucks. Mick's music is legendary but hey, this game is hopefully gonna slap insanely hard all the same

[velvet storm]

Doomguy trynna be Kratos in that trailer💀

[hard thistle]

https://tenor.com/view/car-garn47-eat-chew-cat-gif-4781269048622652873

[misty beacon]

andrews music slaps HARD as FUCK!

[storm fiber]

trailer music sounded really neat, i also hope we get to hear more meathook or world spear type music, those were the perfect blend of "ancient" or "tribal"

[lean pilot]

no miku on the next ost

yawn boring

[soft turret]

Honestly, I prefer Andrew and David's music over Mick's.

[storm fiber]

especially world spear

[misty beacon]

Just listen to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAVHF6OYc_Q

[storm fiber]

mick is supreme in originality and being unique, but i think andrew takes the cake when it comes to synths and riffs

[placid mist]

I'm not saying their music is bad at all. I just really love Mick's style, I'm not gonna say the game's bad without him tho. That would just be asinine

[hard thistle]

peak stuff

[velvet storm]

Buggin

[storm fiber]

as for levy, he's really neat but the only song i really "appreciate" from him would be immora

[misty beacon]

yeah i get ya, just wanted to throw it into the ring hehe

[grim cloud]

omg new Dark Ages Coffee mug at the shop! MUST NOT BUY!!!!

[boreal locust]

i think hulshults style will fit the dark ages more

[proven trellis]

wolf 3d, doom, doom 2, quake, quake 2, quake 3, doom 3, quake 4 rage then the 2016 reboot. there has been way more doom than any other ip i think and i get it is their most iconic franchise but quake 1's aesthetic is more pleasing to me personally quake 2 and quake 4 arent even really connected to quake 1 they were supposed to be seperate ip's entirely. so in reality we only have like 2 quake games

[storm fiber]

definitely

[knotty hinge]

THE GAME TRAILER CAME OUT

[placid mist]

Ofc, no worries, just wanted to elaborate

[misty beacon]

[storm fiber]

ur a bit late my man

[knotty hinge]

HOLY MOLY BRO THAT WAS SICK

[abstract bloom]

dude i just noticed something, during the revenant clip there was another ememy, i think he was riding this games version of a pinky

[placid mist]

Either way I am extremely excited

[narrow flame]

wait is this doom game using the same id teche ngine as doom 1016

[hard thistle]

fr

[knotty hinge]

6 hours late

[velvet storm]

Hopefully

[grim cloud]

powered by the latest idTech engine

[knotty hinge]

sorry I was sleeping

[hard thistle]

how are you feeling about his amour?

[velvet storm]

I wonder if we have free roam on that dragon thing

[placid mist]

Goes hard as hell

[knotty hinge]

absolutely insane

[narrow flame]

that doesnt mean anything, we dont know if they made a new engine

[velvet storm]

OPEN WORLD DOOM GAME

[narrow flame]

i meant etenral not 2016

[grim cloud]

thats all it says on the site.

[knotty hinge]

BRO THAT GUN THAT GRINDS SKULLS INTO AMMO WAS SICK

[lean pilot]

need a fur suit tbh

[proven trellis]

it does look more open but i doubt its open world

[narrow flame]

No not hopefully, i want a new engine

[misty beacon]

no lol, they definitely worked on the engine.
Either a completely new edition, or a beefed up id tech engine from doom eternal

[acoustic meadow]

Legend of Doom Guy Breath of the Wild

[velvet storm]

Semi open probably

[storm fiber]

crucible gotta make a return somehow 🙏

[narrow flame]

i meant eternal but yeah

[velvet storm]

That Zelda guy got nothing on my goat

[placid mist]

Skyrim Doom

[hard thistle]

crucible rose toy when?

[velvet storm]

Why the one they use is insanely optimized and polished?

[rancid mulch]

andrew's stuff for TAG was great but imo david levy's stuff is way better

[lean pilot]

HOLY SHIT

[narrow flame]

better engine even, eternal engine was better then 2016 a new id tech engine would be better

[lean pilot]

THE DARK PAGES

[misty beacon]

Valid
We all got our favorites ^_^

[lean pilot]

miku

[placid mist]

I wish we had an axe this time, that would go really hard but eh

[storm fiber]

andrew blew david away imo

[proven trellis]

ever since id started theyve been a company that innovates on technology in general and pretty much use their engines as a display of technical power

[storm fiber]

andrew just felt much more natural and grounded and the guitars were just so aggressive with how bassy they were

[proven trellis]

andrew did make the dusk soundtrack

and the ssg reload looks inspired by dusk

[storm fiber]

never listened to it, how is it?

[hard thistle]

we’re cacodemons in the trailer?

[proven trellis]

so maybe it andrew hulshult who does the music for this game

[proven trellis]

atmospheric, but there are some metal tracks

[knotty hinge]

didn’t see any
