goddamn, you might need a 70 series or something for amd
Eternal despite its general VRAM hunger at high settings, managed to run-ish on a Switch
So perhaps like Eternal, TDA might have a low VRAM overhead and it would just be a matter of turning settings way down
Eternal runs quite smooth 144 fps @ 1440p on my 1080
imagine I'm actually right and an RTX 2050 runs circles around a 1080 (if the 1080 can even launch the game)
In most places
Eternal ran really well on my RX 6600 which I think was similar ballpark to a 1080
1080 might be 9 years old by the time TDA comes out
damn I remember finding the FE shroud leaks of the 1080 before it came out
well, its nearly a 9 year old card
Yea forreal š
id say go for something thats maybe 5 years old at most?
Ok, I'll shoot for a 30 series I guess
How well did Eternal run on cards from 2011?
probably less
3060 is a decent bit better than the 1080
atleast according to technical city
im on a 3070 and i feel the need to upgrade to a 5070 for tda lmao
but it will likely get support
Stupid question, but bottlenecks aren't a major issues with gpu right. Most of the load goes to the gpu anyway?
apparently the 50 series cards rely on ai stuff alot
yh ik, but it might be good
you should go for the 5070 ti next month if your budget allows for it
will see i guess when reviews are out
As long as the GPU is able to do its work, you shouldn't worry too much
as far as i know, if ur cpu is more than ur gpu, u need to upgrade ur cpu
A GPU can't really bottleneck a CPU
i mean, fi its doing more
No shot š I'm not trying to go above 700 bucks
5070 then
I've got a 4070 Ti Super, I think I'm set unless I want to go silly mode with a 3x/4x MFG mode lol
but I do not
5070 having only 12GB vram is kinda pathetic
idk if its just me but ive never rly complained about my 8gb on my 3070 lol
the only game was indiana jones where i had to play on medium
most stuff still high or very high etc but the texture stuff
like i get it but its like i dont wanna play on max textures and get below like 70-80 fps in games
so id turn stuff down no matter what
Ngl I think Nvidia should have used those 3GB G7 modules for the 5070
It would have 18GB of VRAM that way
sure it would be a bit silly having a bit more VRAM than the 5070 Ti and 5080 but the 5070 Ti and 5080 have much higher memory bandwidth
besides Nvidia have done this before with the 3060 having more VRAM than every other card until the 3080 Ti (or 12GB 3080 when that came out much later)
i feel like they do this on purpose
this generation is the generation of AI
next 60 series is vram increase or sum
if they just make the perfect combo now then why would anyone buy stuff later
I reckon they might do a 24GB 6080 or something, same 256-bit bus but with 3GB modules (they already exist now and the laptop 5090 uses them)
eh
going offtopic, I think TDA in particular will give plenty of avenues to squeeze things into a 12GB buffer
but other games eeehhh not guaranteed
idk i changed stuff to max on eternal yesterday and it crashes on launch or when i alttab
and reverting the changes even didnt fix
now im crying
nah 8
it was fine yesterday which is weird
i think it has nothing to do with that ngl
Idk tbh I didnt have issues like that on my 6600
I even survived turning RT on even if the performance was horrendous (1st gen AMD RT accelerator lol)
8gb card too
yeah i did max everything with rt on, runs very well
but at one point i alttabbed and since that it crashes when alttabbing or 50% of the time when launching
Alt+tab has only really been stable for me with like a handful of games, not really helpful but yeah A+T is meh compatibility-wise
Me in 2035 when doom the industrial age is announced
got to have renaissance age first, then perhaps industrial
Industrial age is just the originals
No, that's fusion
3 more days baby
doom the prehistoric ages when
Doom dude riding a T-Rex while ripping mammoth sized demons would be rad
Probably during TDA considering multiverse shenanigans making prehistoric times take place sometime during his eons in hell
Ye
basically primal
tbh i want doomguy to speak more in TDA, start with having him do the rip and tear intro this time
matthew watterson's voice for him is great and i want to see what he can do with the character
he wont speak much, if at all
So the ray tracing in Doom Dark Ages will allow bullets to know whether they hit flesh/body or armor, right?
Last two unviel gameplays had audience, we will not get that this time. Maybe they could show it off in front of id employees and they can cheer
Is there any info of how many space it is?
Gb?
yes
So far there's been no official pricing announced. BestBuy's page for the game lists it for $69.99, but we won't know if that's final or just placeholder until Thursday.
Since Eternal was 80GB I'd assume Dark Ages will be similarly sized if not a bit larger
maybe like 90-100 gigabytes
Doomguy design is the best in this game
if the dark ages gets a DLC, then i hope it will have Doomguy kill the champion titan
Corpse we see in the 2016?
yea
What is dark ages even on about?
it would be cool because the slayers testaments also talk about the battle
Didnt Doom slayer killed every single demon alredy?
the dark ages is a prequel
Oh
it takes place after the classic games
But before 2016m
yea
Imagine you could walk on the titan or somehow interact
Or before Doom 3
Better then the Icon of Sins atleast
doom 3 isnt cannon to the classic and modern games
Oh i didnt know that
Maybe its like before doom 1 idk, its not even related to doomguy anyway
the timeline is like this
Doom
Doom II
Doom 64
Doom the dark ages
Doom 2016
Doom eternal
Doom the ancient gods part 1 and 2
Intresting
that would be cool
Yeah
I was going to buy Doom 2016 cuz its on sale, its a good game? (Its for 3 dollars in my PSN)
Based to codex when he fought the titan, he didnt have shield and sword, it was latter when it was forged, so maybe dlc before the shield idk
its a very good game
Its perfect game
maybe itās when he wore the training sentinel armor
yes
in terms of gameplay, then Iād say no
Debatable
Not really, its a preference, eternal more fast pasted and everything, 2016 is little bit less quick and no dashes, but there is no cartoonish stile, more like serious, so depends on ur preferences
Maybe
but overall atmosphere and story then maybe
Yeah
Yeah i saw that Doom 2016 is more realistic
Glory kills in doom 2016, in my opinion, is better than eternal
I agree
Thereās less content too but if itās cheap then Iād say get it if you want. I got it on a discount as well just to try it out
For 4 bucks its definitely worth it
Dont Doom slayer got the crucible in the 2016 too?
Like, that skull and bones version
For gameplay. No.
He got one, he donāt use it
Sad
He uses It in eternal to give energy for his spaceship tho, lol
The game is still fun to me regardless; wouldnāt say it keeps me as engaged as eternal but itās not lack luster whatsoever
Compared to eternal it not that epic and fast paced, but itself its really good game
yeah
Ik but, i feel that doom should have more Fist/sword combat, not only like the crucible (3 uses only) and the bloody punch
Doom the dark ages will have that a lot
Sadly it Will come only for Pc and ps5
Ps4 is beeing forgeted alredy
Itās mostly because companies want to push forward. No offense to anyone here but the PS4 has been out long enough
I hope everyone here can get a new gen console if need be but companies may have to lower the price soon enough
in doom 2016, his arsenal is a lot more militaristic than in the other games and is less fantasy like
In my contry, PS5 is 5k, PS5 pro is like 7/8k
Thatās unfair. The ps5 is not THAT good to be that expensive
And the minimum salary is 1.200k
I would recommend trying to save up for the ps5 slim (digital) if possible
I mean thankfully I play on Xbox but that is still annoying because when I tried getting dead space 3 on my ps4, itās not on the stores anymore and is only available on ps5 now
Really? That sucks
Does Dark Ages also have multi play?
We donāt know yet but most likely yes
Even tho most of the people play for only single player
Prob my next console Will be an Xbox series x, more acessible than PS5, the Sad is the Brand games, like gow and tlou
I believe there is a showcase this Thursday that will show 10-20 minutes of dark ages gameplay and talk about story and concepts
i dont understand why they keep making multiplayer, it never stands the test of time
Thatās true but I see the appeal of having online. Keeps the game alive longer
Idk about that, but ik there will be a full trailer, and hopefully a release date
so we will probably figure out whether thereās multiplayer this week
Fr
But at least game pass is more acessible than PS+
And i dont need to pay to play online
I know it probably wonāt happen but I hope the dark ages campaign will be co-op
I wish they had more time on making the Dawoth fight better, 6 month was not enough for them
I mean its literary the goal of doom slayer
Doom turning into l4d2
Whos dawoth?
Maybe I spelled it wrong, the guy u fight at the end of the ancient gods part 2
the dark lord
Yeah
Bro, its funny to know that Doom only uses Guns for Fun
As his fists are the strongest things in the fucking universe
Single play is mostly because if people play until the ending, they don't play anymore.
GTA was popular in multi-play
How was the battle mode?
fun once you figured it out, i played mostly the slayer. The single player game did a terrible job at preparing you for battle mode.
this was probably why a lot of people didn't play it at first.
this is where they go from "not quite tomorrow" to announcing it to release "tomorrow" for no reason
Didn't they do that w TAG 2 š
hahah yeah
even tho i liked it for what it was
after a few months i came to the same realization as most people but i still love it
The soundtrack was great though, levels looked gorgeous
But man that final level and final boss
Not the best
The immora troopers i felt was one of the worst things ngl xd
I love their design but davoth's fight needs to be buffed
Give my man some more attacks
More variety in what you do in the fight wouldve been nice
I will devour your soul š¹
"I WILL DEVOUR UR SOUL >:]" I KNOW YOUVE SAID THAT ALREADY 
Hahahah
But I do actually like the red light green light aspect of davoth's fight
Gets repetitive but yeah its cool
Visually tho he will remain one of my favourite if not my favourite enemy in doom tbh
I like repeating things, but he's a rng fuckfest
Oh definitely, I love how he's visually identical to the slayer, no clue why, but like woag...
I absolutely HATE that aspect. Itās so obvious they were rushing due to the deadline and slapped the Marauders gimmick onto Davoth. It wouldnāt be so bad if he didnāt have 6 PHASES where nothing changes besides the skybox
Where he just does the same move over and over and over again
Says the same voice line over and over again
I have a tendency to see shit w rose coloured glasses so it's totally understandable why you think that, I'm probably the weird one w that part š
Davoth could have been an ok boss for like, the first maybe first 2 phases and then shift radically.
But what he is now straight up just doesn't fit the gameplay, let alone the FINAL BOSS AGAINST GODSATAN
Still wanna bite him tho
Doom reboot seems to have a lot of flaws in the boss design. Am I the only one who feels that way
I'd have to agree that eternals bosses are mediocre
maybe covid has had a big impact, right?
the bosses are fun,, just they like to waddle
For some reason they just don't commit to eternal's design
Which... well i guess it is because they only really figured out what they wanted from eternal quite late in development but still
It's an arena shooter and then most bosses are just in boring flat 1v1s with no oppressive kit to make it feel like a whole arena?
Doom is widely known for having shit bosses so it tracks.
They barely even try aiming for their strengths and make that into bosses
"Just" have an arena fight with 1 unique boss demon lmfao
the aiming for cyberdemon is awesome (eternals and 2016) they aim in front of you instead of ON you
hope they keep it but if they change it, probably for a good reason š
id software in general is known for having pretty shit bosses
New doom only rtx?
cool
but dont take my word for it, Im just making guesses
yes
as far as ive heard bro needs a whole remake
its just a reskinned marauder as far as ive heard
its kinda cool in a way, the only thing that can kill the slayer, is himself, and even then he struggles to do that
2 days
im assuming they will get into a few of the mechanics
maybe what ever they plan for MP too ... assuming there is MP. Can't imagine a doom game without MP
yea they really could do literally anything for MP
people have been asking for coop horde style mode since ... well before 2016 came out. Maybe we get that? Or some Sentinal Verus Marauder Verus UAC Marines team coop ... with demon invasions and ... so many possiblities. Ill aslo take classic deathmatch and battlemode becaue i want it all
I really dont see myself playing the multiplayer much
i played battlemode to death, got pretty good as slayer but could never win against the top players consistantly. a match here and there at best
i was horrid at slayer
also im not really sure how they could transfer the slow and specialized kit from the campaign into a pvp mode in the new game
i feel like they would just need to tack on a separate game for death match
You can make your own coop horde mode in Snapmap
same
even when snapmap had people playing, it was hard to find players and it really never scratched that coop itch
it would be great if they bring back the 2016 mp maps. Or have a simple way to playing them thorugh TDA. Probably a techical feat not worth the effort, but if people could simply access doom 2016's MP through TDA, that would bring a lot of people back. Also make it free and a seperate download
Do we know anything about the price?
no
if i had to guess 70 bucks standard, 100 early access with some skins or bs, 200 for super collectors edition with the slayer shield prop and a doomguy head sucker (because this is for suckers)
but i would totatlly take another doom guy helmet. I have three of them
I just hope there will be preorder bonuses for all versions
Alr
If that's what you expect as the collectors edition I'm saving up rn
But tbh I would love to see that helmet
It could be 40 dollars like eternal and 2016
With the modern game prices I doubt that
I bet $70
It will probably be 70 dollars
That's like a standard rn, and tbh doom is worth that price
Agreed
I hope that the online mode will be good, and with cross play
I might buy a ps5 just to get doom
But I won't complain if it will be ahh
I mean seeing how every xbox published game is 70 bucks Im pretty sure TDA will be that price
I just got a PC but still don't know if I should buy it on PC or console
Best buy has the price listed as $69.99
I just hope it runs on the steam deck
But If I want the collector's edition then ps
Bro ššššæ
What do you think will come with collectors edition
The mech Figure/doomslayer helmet
Idk I'm still buying that
i needs the doom 3 marine helmet
apparently the indiana jones game runs on the steam deck at 40 fps thanks to valve's dark and evil black magic that lets the steam deck somehow play games with raytracing so it'll probably run TDA
He doesn't have a helmet I think, every cutscenes shows him without it
How the Indiana Jones game requires a mid-high end PC
The DOOM 3 marines do wear the helmet, just not the protag
You think they'll ever bring back the doom comics?
Maybe if there is demand for it
I see
the secret is that valve has a real life wizard in their office and when they make new hardware they have him cast evil and satanic magic that does unspeakable things like play TitanFall 2 with fairly high graphic settings in 60fps with incredibly rare slowdown or stuttering
story telling purposes, but im sure he is wearing it when he goes on the martian surface
I would watch out If I was you rn, valve doesn't like when their secrets come out live
my favorite level is the one where you kill demons
two days, ugh the closer we get the slower things go. I still have a work day tommorrow
what happens in two days?
oh right
Ye
So i wonder what the controversy will be when htye show us? 2016 (piss/yellow filter, glory kills bad, where is his mug, movement too slow) Eternal (too colorful, mario bros fire traps, no mug again, where is DM?)
Yes i got nothing more to say, im all out ... this wait has been painful
5-15-2025
I just saw exstasis tweet about it
It's coming from some french site, I'll try to find it unless it was removed
its gone, the guy who saw it was able to capture it real quickly. at least that is what my research shows
looks like there are two articles that talked about this date. might be it, it just might be it, but ill wait till the showcase to shit my pants
I just saw an article from January 15th that mentioned a release date of May 15th, 2025
yah that is the first one
the second was a french one that got pulled last minute an hour ago
thats perfect for me ngl
I have to take two days of work off now, which is why i like friday because i can drink and ... well depends on the state
god damn im hyped
9 years after Doom 2016
crazy to think we could be playing the game in less than 4 months, that's great
yep
the design of mancubus
I don't understand the eternal hate
it's my fav doom
day 21 of 2025 is it out yet
no
aw man
thank the father the original imps are back
Ye
I like how no demon in 2016 looked like its counterpart except baron, and every demon in eternal looked its counterpart, except baron
they ruined the revenants in eternal
They did, yea
and the hell knight
the more comic booky feel of eternal only works for certain things
the demons in D16 reminded you that even though doomguy is powerful they should still be taken seriously
Fecha de Lanzamiento Filtrada / Leaked Release Date - May 15 / 15 de Mayo: https://www.pcmrace.com/2025/01/21/doom-the-dark-ages-15-mayo-date-leaked/
Some dark info i think got leaked that confirmed that their next main game that is The Dark Ages was using id tech 8
It was from the last year that they have been using idtech8
man I love the design of that factory/techbase
at this point the skullcrusher is gonna become as iconic as the BFG or the SSG in the Doom universe
Game releases tomorrow for sure !
Itāll be very iconic for sure
Such a metal gun
Combat shotgun confirmed.
semiauto I guess
can't be pump action while holding the shield with the other hand
Full auto is now base fire pog.
maybe. The skullcrusher seems some sort of automatic shotgun too
as described by Dreamcastguy
the music from the footage sounds like it's in game
yall have no clue how exited i am for the new game
40 hours left!!
well Imagine my hype, I literally DREAMED about the next reveal
Is 5 years of development appropriate? I'm worried that the quality will decrease due to the issue of the development period
Yea
Is the average development period for AAA games five years?
doom 4 was released on 2016 and eternal in 2020
development time depends on the project and the studio, also keep in mind that they already have a lot of stuff figured out from the previous games
That's 4 years, so 5 years will be definitely enough
and both games worked pretty good since day 1 as far as I remember
great optimization and no major bugs that I remember. So I wouldn't be worried
- ID tech 8 and 100% next gen hardware. If only Im excited about the new possibilities
So why does ELDER SCROLL6 take so long?
Doom eternal was originally supposed to come out in November 2019, I wonder how the game would have played if it launched back then
that's a huge open world RPG with probably hundreds of hours of content, alternative routes, builds, endings, choices, etc... a lot more complex type of game to develop
Is GTA6 for the same reason?
A Doom game is not easy to develop either, but it's a lot more focused and straightforward experience and they are probably recycling/modifying assets, scripts and other resources from eternal and 2016
I remember there were a lot of bugs when Eternal was released, but there wouldn't be a lot of DARK AGES, would there?
Probably but who knows
Donāt worry I feel the same way but thatās just new generation AAA being like that. Itās all a matter of time
Fast falling my goat
I believe Arkham Knight, cyber punk, and one of the Witcher games were almost unplayable on release on certain consoles but they got fixed after
I would not go as far to call eternal having been āalmost unplayableā on launch
Iām not saying that at all
Some changes were kinda odd choices tbh
Iām just referring to those games to lessen the worries of dark ages being like that then staying like that for a while
maybe you are worried bc of the bigger levels and larger number of active AIs on screen (?)
Hold up me?
Forced attacks anims between armor breaking in phase 1 of icon added in 2.0 for like no reason
I was replying to None X but I forgot to use the reply button
Got you, didnāt want to ignore you on accident
Np
I'm also interested on how they are gonna manage the large groups of enemies. In the trailer It seems they are placed on fixed positions waiting for the player to enter a radius to trigger their aggro
Eternal dlc2
and they said in an interview that they multiplied more than 3 times the number of enemies on screen. If they manage to optimize the game to the point of making a serious sam without crashing it's gonna be amazing
The Battle of Arena is not really a concern. The biggest concern is the Battle of Boss.
I think that will be fine considering Eternals final boss was handled well. The open world dragon flying sections is what may kick up a notch or two
dark load was a real shock
Iām looking forward to the mech part more than the dragon part
Maybe we can "command" air strikes while the slayer is on the ground
That could be like the new BFG type attack
yep
but wathever they do I hope they keep the BFG as always. Otherwise it wouldn't be Doom
I need a break from the BFG tbh
especially after the somewhat "haha delete" button that are the last two iterations of it
haha too much deus ex machina
they can make it more similar to classic doom in terms of damage
the older ones worked because they took from your pool of ammo for yet another useful weapon
and well, I guess lower damage
yeah
and that pool is also limited
honestly, the older games worked just because of the fact you had limited resources
I honestly never liked that in the newer games they basically gave you everything in unlimited amounts
I know what you mean when you talk about newer BFGs but considering the amount of enemies we'll be fighting at once in Dark Ages... I can't deny it'd be sweet to wipe em all out with a single shot from time to time
if we're counting mods into this (which well, I don't really want to tbh), some custom WADs for Doom 2 just have absolutely batshit insane hordes of enemies
and I'm honestly hoping TDA isn't like that
oh yeah Im familiar with slaughter maps
Scythe 2 still gives me nightmares!
BFG shouldāve been more limited in eternal
yeah
havent played yet but I've read similar opinions
I never even completed it
I gave up on map27
and that was on HMP
well, I will admit I do suck at games so HMP is my default skill level for 1/2
What is HMP?
Hurt Me Plenty
Oh I shouldave gotten that
no worries, when I said Im familiar with slaughter maps I meant that I've played that sort of levels sometimes but I'm not very good at them XD
oh I just assumed you knew what they were
I didn't even assume you've played them lol
The last map I made had a bit of slaughter combat in some areas but most players told me it was quite balanced for a slaughter fight
I hope the master levels come back in the dark ages
And secret levels too
Yeah of course. It will be more slow paced gameplay though so horde mode and stuff like that probably won't happen
just how long can we expect thursday's showcase to be?
Prob around 10-15 mins for the doom section, about an hour in total for the direct itself.
no
sure
Where do I send?
dm
If itās the path tracing one someone already sent it
path tracing?
Scroll up
oh zamn
Yeah already there thats why I asked before sending it
I also asked if yall saw it, and it seems like so
Yeah the details are insane
1 day 
The arenas are going to be fukn insane!!
I'm very curious how they managed to do that advanced glory kill
Do talk think it's going to have a Switch 2 port?
looks like Doom Dark Ages is infact Idtech 8. Confirmed
More amazing Images and footage of DOOM: The Dark Ages has been launched showcasing never before seen gameplay. Please subscribe and support the channel. Thank you to ā@PCMR_LATAMĀ for sharing this. Check them out for more awesome content.
I saw that the release date has been leaked, but Iām still kinda not sure about it. I just want id to take their best time.
is it soon?
May according to a French source.
also said by someone at nvidia apparantly. But yes not 100% confirmed
we'll see tomorrow ig
It's pretty solid, insider gaming have good sources
A game will always have bugs at launch thatās inevitable. We can only hope play testers weeded out most of them
Some of the bugs did make eternal very fun though
Like the one where if you pull up the weapon wheel whilst meathooking you speed up like crazy
A less fun bug was the one that made the Meathook collide with armor pickups or something like that and it would cause the Meathook to disconnect
Thank you TAG2
(It wasnāt caused by the TAG2 update but it did get discovered sometime after TAG2 released)
the incidence of bugs was higher than that of other AAA games.
Lore wise idk how theyād fit the BFG into the game since itās always been a weapon designed by the UAC. So unless we somehow end up in a UAC base at some point we aināt getting it. My bet is itāll be replaced by some Night Sentinel/ Maykr super weapon that serves a similar purpose
DE Speedrunning is awesome
I think it's probably because of Covid.
What are your guys thoughts on the music in the new footage? I'm digging the epic dramatic tone
I expect the QA team didn't catch the bug properly because they were working from home during COVID-19
DOOM Eternal had (and still does) have bugs but it wasnāt like the game was utterly broken. Cyberpunk came out the same year and it was easily worse on day 1
For some reason the release date being so relatively close to this reveal irks me. May can't be it.
Something's off.
wym
Covid definitely impacted a lot
It impacted everyone
Cyberpunk bugs were the worst, Eternal wasn't that bad, but there were some inconveniences.
Eternal's bugs are annoying on occasion but still, sucks that they were left unattended.
What, yeethooking? COVID wasnāt really affecting things until around the time eternal released anyways, and even if it was, I donāt think it wouldāve been a factor, happens cuz frame dependent physics, and weapon wheel slows down time, so you spend more frames on the hook, so more speed, also yeah doom eternal was a tad buggy at first but still very much functional
That I can't fight a Hell Knight or Dread Knight without hauling ass 5 whole rooms back because they'll slide across the floor and lock onto you is seriously bullshit.
The Tyrant's tracking attack detaching from the ground and hard homing into you also never got patched.
the most bs i encountered in eternal were enemies occasionally body blocking you and marauders slowing you down by 200% after they hit you for a couple seconds
Really cool that they'll add a dash to dodge attacks and then the enemies won't give a shit and hit you anyways.
Or Dread Knights dealing like 4x there normal damage that bugs annoying
The Dread Knight slam attack always seemed a little buggy
Dread Knights are janktastic.
I'm very interested to see the new level design and exploration. And I hope they add another Motƶrhead easter egg
I hope TDA will have good boss fights
that easter egg is a banger!
No joke, I was listening to Motƶrhead while replaying that level and suddenly found it. I wish I recorded my reaction
that would of been an awesome feeling
And bit scary too 𤣠had to check it on Youtube to see if I was dreaming
I hope they'll realise it's better to build into their strengths (arena fights) then to try and force a 1v1 to work
Well there's a bit of selection bias there because so far we have only seen showcases that try and show the game in it's best light
yes, but imagine if we had good boss fight with the titan from 2016, and not like Icon of Sins, something more interesting, maybe we could punch his weak point or whatever, climb on him, there a lot of interesting stuff they can make
DA sounds to be less movements focused so the climbing part is out
And the IOS was one of the better bossfights simply because he fought in an actual eternal arena
well im pretty sure the titan from 2016 fight was right before where priests sealed him, so he will probably be the last boss fight, idk
They had per pixel collision detection back in Doom 3. I dont understand what is the deal with using RT to achieve this.
Bad clickbait journalism, the regular thus
Nah, probably sponsorship deals with nvidia. Gotta use that performance someway
Nvidea has nothing to gain about "ray tracing bullet" considering... that how they have already worked for decades
Way more likely it's on the journalistic side throwing around buzzwords
But why market and use RT for hit detection when you had that solved extremely fast 20 years ago
And no, Billy Khan said this too in that interview (if the quotes are percise)
Drying it out over an entire article though
6 hours left
Im very excited
the director live stream starts in 6hrs, no?
no, 30, its on the 23rd
fuk,, but its gonna be worth the wait!
In like 28 hours
1 more day
I hope people won't just dog on this game because it's not Eternal 2.0
I respect id for not just wanting to make the same game again
i dont think they will, alot of people wanted a slower experience
I just hope it doesnt constantly lock you in an arena like in eternal
depends on how the game works, we dont really know if levels are structured the same or not
if they are then i expect big arena encounters, we did see a big arena from the nvidia video
Yeah looks like bigger arenas to move about and dodge projectiles
Less vertical
More wider
that would work too
but looking at the first trailer it seems like it'll at least have some non-arena encounters which is nice
hell, imagine if they do the thing where they have enemies act as sort of sentries like in the classic games
Release date leaked it will be released on the 15th of may, apparently
I'll take it with a grain of salt but wont be surprised if its right
a pleasant surprise if its true, i was convinced that i was coming in november
I knew it would be this year and before november since they dont want to compete with COD but May is earlier than I thought
Considering cod and doom are owned by microsoft i don't think they care to much about too close release dates
Yeah but releasing two shooters close to another means one will attract more players than the other. While if its seperated a decent amount of time then they can bank on both getting good sales
Probably means like a month either side they don't want to release but that's not much
Gamepass lol
Day 22 of 2025 is it out yet
This joke got old fast
yes
:(
I want free roam doom
1 more day! then the hype returns in full swing. the lore discussions, the demons, the weapons, the "where is the wretch" non story nonsense. Got to get throiugh this work day
We have an open world DOOM-like id game, at least
define open world. I dont think that kind of game really does well with FPS. However, i think a Metroidvania style like Metroid Prime would work.
Open world as in you can walk where you want. RAGE 2 here I'm referring to
Not like full open world, but free roam, or at least larger areas
I loved Rage 2, but it lacked a lot of things to do. Exporering was fun, but not a lot of missions and underground "dungeons"
Something like a Metroidvania, where there's secrets but only when you have the right tool
gamespot interview mentions maps are three times the size, and are "open with new areas opening up as you explore other areas". whatever that means
Would be a great evolution of the Og doom design
Three times the size with less movement focus š
Can't wait to gloriously hold W towards the objective
Even if TDA ends up horrible if it has the Soul Cube or Maledict it's GOTY for me
The dlc had something neat with the meathook grapples, we just need more
Sadly they likely threw it all away (and i wouldn't blame them if this was their focus)
Ye
I mean theres some focus on movement, just not like in eternal
Yeah that is what "less" means
like you're gonna be dodging projectiles n shit so theres some movement just not dashing and jumping every millisecond
This is more of a me thing, but I want to take down demons the size of mountains
ah, I missed that part
Just huge ole titans
Strafing is kinda boring though unless they go full on bullet hell
They should let us gun down the D3 Cyberdemon
Aslong as the giant sentinel mecha gameplay isn't a chore to get through
Or preferably: not different/not there at all
I heard from someone who saw the quakecon footage that the mech can use a chaingun
Wow, it's confirmed it can use a single gun
š if that is their news highpoint i'm only less excited to get through it
I mean it could always use more, not to mention the melee combat
I didnt say "yeah it can use just this and no other thing" I just said someone who saw the footage saw the mech use a chaingun
The more they focus on mecha gameplay naturally the less they could polish regular gameplay though
Lazer dragons
i am also not sold on the mecha stuff. Doom guy doesnt need it
Except he does
tbh Im not too enthusiastic about it either but if done right it could be a fun addition
That's the whole problem with these alternative gameplay sections... it's basically never is as polished as the actual core gameplay and tends to feel like a chore to get through rather then an enjoyable part of gameplay
This was before or shortly after he became the seraphims puppet
Most "best cases" i still wished it just focused on 1 anyways, or made the other it's own game or smth
I think it's just after
Iirc only the first battle was fought before the machine
tell that to astrobot
Isn't astrobot's thing that most levels have a gimick though
Also, it's an exception. Not the rule
you can tell it's an exception because it's a PS5 exclusive and the rule stipulates the PS5 gets no games
Make sure to buy Spider-Man 2 on PC!
That and Ragnarok were the wow PS5 exclusives, key word were
iirc the astrobot devs wanna put the game on pc too
At least it's not as mishandled as the Saturn
exclusives are stupid anyways, esp in the modern era
SEGA had the best idea for an exclusive
They wanted to make a big game exclusive to their last-gen platform and NOT their current one
even nintendo's exclusives are becoming even more and more stupid as their hardware gimicks become more and more just regularly approachable instead
astrobot, winner of the sony awards of 2024
game does look kinda fun tbh
Like if anything itāll be closer to the original Doomās just faster
It's like Mario but robobo
hello
I'd say o.g. Doom has less focus on movement than Eternal, but the core movement is still better. It needn't be the focus.
I love the sound of bigger maps that are more dynamic and changing. That's one of the best things about the original. The maps can be packed full of surprises
I'd say Classic Doom was equal parts movement, resource management, and on-the-spot decision making (in combat)
Yes, but the movement was subtly brilliant.
I'd agree
How much do y'all think the collectors edition will cost
2519261 dollars
it just works (except in platforming istfg if I gotta play The Chasm again I will lose it)
also sorry for that long ass message time, I forgot the level name lol
Thanks šššæ
All of the Doom games require this. It's not one over the other.
probably like over 100 bucks
I'd say Eternal leaned much more into the movement personally
sure, Eternal leans into movement, but that does not exclude other aspects
I never said it excluded the other 2 aspects
decision making is genuinely as important as movement
At least 120
Is there a new preview out that mentions these larger, more changeable maps?
dunno
Using movement properly and efficiently requires on the spot decision making. I love Classic Doom but I don't think it requires more. It's less multitasking than the newer Doom games. Which is why I sometimes prefer Classic. Idk, I try not to compare them so much.
Yeah, the older games didn't need much multi-tasking
if you know what you're doing during a fight it's much more streamlined
Dunno about that.
See Enemy Types > See Enemy Positions > Get Resource Positions (if possible) > Get Shape Of Arena > Make Plan > Enact
I think there's more going on than most realise with the classics.
Yeah, I was mainly indicating the usual structure on how to approach arenas
The statement that classic Doom didn't need much multitasking is what i disagree with.
there is certainly more going on under the hood in both Eternal and the classics than what many realise
the better you get at the games, the more complex they get
I said it is LESS. And that's just an opinion.
for me, the classics are pretty simple since I know next to nothing about their combat, but there is certainly stuff going on there still
The Classics can be aboslutely batshit chaotic
but overall once you streamline the game, multitasking isn't as much of a thought
by then you can usually split everything up into steps instead of running everything at once
but that usually requires you to know how everything's gonna play out
Agreed on this
Is this from a recent / new interview? I had a look on their site but couldn't find anything new
Old interview last june
I know - I was referencing this message.
#the-dark-ages message
oops mb sry
no worries! š
70$! AINT NO WAY IM PAYING 70$
WHEN IS IT OUT??
You will pay 70 bucks mate @inland beacon , it's DOOM, it's worth it
i will be begging my friend to buy it for me
Im at least waiting for the reviews
70 is a barging for doom. should be thankful its not 100 coz its gonna be good
My friend buying it for himself and me we gonna play it together
Isnāt it dropping day one on game pass though?
I love doom but my broke ass also loves eating
is it?
fair just stop eating and save up
If you look it up it says it is
š©
I would stop buying food and eat kids instead but there arenāt enough children around for me to eat because i ate all of them
soo I assume we're going to be getting a release date tomorrow
Do you know how much a liver goes for. I might sell mine so i can buy the game
doom dark ages when??? is there a release date??
Preordering is never a good idea anyways
depends are you healthy
ima pre order if its good ill say if not then i must be on drugs
Being on drugs would heighten the experience
true
Noah noah noah noah noah
This game looks peak, better than eternal in all ways
Was the collector sold on the official site when they did doom eternal?
i assume we getting a release date soon
You think The trailer footage of doomslayer getting suited up is gonna be an intro cutscene. because if so then the ssg would be way too op of a starting weapon. We see it one shot a hell knight
We already have а possible date.
15 may
may be true
idk i don't trust stuff until its said by the developers or cant be disproven
I was skeptical that dark ages even existed when those were just leaks
Idk but this news is already everywhere
i guess we might see tmr if it is announced that is
Any news on the system requirements? I'm curious to see how this game will run compared to eternal.
I hope dark ages doesnāt deviate too much from the formula. If so we might not have any room for a new quake or heretic or hexen ect
idk all i know you might be cooked with lower than a 30 series
they did with Eternal tbh
old gen consoles are cooked
Eternal was just an improvement on 2016
old gen won't even be receiving the game
I would not be so scared, eternal runned on my 1050 2GB
You think switch 2 might get it
ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
prob right also they would loose alot of money if they did that
doom is built of the community not for money so
would not want to let the fans down
What message are you referring to with this?
non i assuming
R/ihadastroke
New trailer tomorrow?
Yes
hopfully
Oh nice
I'd say it was a bit of a downgrade personally, especially after playing Eternal for 100 or so hours
Its literally confirmed
If it's the leak I saw on YouTube that would be funny
Hereās the door šŖ
Dw, I already found it ages ago
doom has always been fast paced but eternal just took it to a whole new leave i wonder if dark ages will take a step back
overall, I've started to prefer 2016 by a lot in both atmosphere and gameplay
fairs
I think gameplay wise Eternal was an improvement but tonally, atmosphere, and story was a downgrade from 2016
Atmosphere i get. But not gameplay
gameplay of eternal with some twists and a good story like 2016 would go hard
DOOM 3 remake would go hard
I heard the release date got leaked
Again I just hope after dark ages they finally make another fucking quake game
I prefer the more horizontally based combat of the original games, which Eternal doesn't provide at all
keep dreaming
also, it feels like you just have infinite everything in Eternal
I never had any ammo, health, or armor issues in Eternal
thats not necessarily a bad thing
Eternal had a better gameplay loop overall. And if you find it too easy try playing ultra nightmare
RIP
UN is not harder in the traditional sense than NM
Also you keep pushing DE being better at gameplay to Coder like it's a fact and not a subjective thing 
For I moment I read the UN as United Nations and NM as New Mexico 
i wonder if there will be a battle pass like eternal
United nations difficulty makes you use a knife instead of a gun
yeah
why does doomguy enter his dark ages? is he depression?
Mood eternal
Having no armor/health issues just means it's too easyš
leaked dtda gameplay
That movie is one of the weirdest Polish things ever
like next playthrough (if I ever want to start playing the game again), might be on NM
why he look like the emo mf from horton
but even on UV I felt like it was Ultrakill with it's infinite pool of ammo
or however that movie with the elephant and the flower was called
Underthemayo reference
Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you

I just hope doom the dark ages lets you **** the enemies
I Agree
Skyrim theme plays
Please id have dark ages start with a slayer and intern ***** cutscene
please get a girlfriend 
But it's a prequel
I donāt care
gaming!!
Doom the dick ages
Doomslayer arrives at Cockermouth UK

Would you bruvs like to see a new Doom take place in the UK?
Oi oi mate
I will still say that Eternal had the infinitely better Cacodemon
Doom the DARK ages. Thats pretty woke
but any way what you reckon the final boss is something new or a remaster of something old
also sorry this came outta nowhere, playing a game rn
diversity in my demon slaying game!??
Why am I fighting Bohemian and Genovese demons?
šØšæ
smh my head
all i know its inevitable fortnite dose a collab 
Doom the great depression ages when??
Hopefully never, me don't want to get depressed watching people suffer due to an economic crisis
The bright side is you can buy a whole meal for a dollar
Downside: You barely make a dollar a month
Is there supposed to be some footage revealed this weekend? I just saw a video that I hadn't seen before with the Knight Sentinels, and the poster claimed that it's unseen leaked footage of TDA.
Nice, it'll be interesting to see if any opinions change
Probably not
fortnite already did an eternal collab
You think theyāll do a dark ages collab next?
Bought a ps5 finally just to play dark ages when it drops
You guys aren't ready for tommorow
May 15, Isn't it?
Yea
is everyone ready for tomorrow
feels like a long wait still, i still have to sleep!
yo š„
Whatās happening tmrw
yes
Ripping and tearing
I've got my scissors and shredder ready
Hey
Tomorrow is the Xbox showcase where they will do a deep dive into there upcoming games. Doom TDA is going to be a big part of it and we will hopefully get an official release date.
There will be a collecionist versión?
Who's hyped for Doom The Dark Ages?
Me
The what now?
The light ages?
Doom medieval simulator
oh god im gonna DOOM
Ye
me
Look what I found in yt https://youtu.be/szT7zP4vnQQ?si=HUDGQgTif9AzfypA
#doom #doometernal #doomslayer #doom2016 #doomthedarkages
Never before seen Footage!
An extended vid of the short trailer weāve seen recently, and the showcase of Xbox developer wears tomorrow but this dude somehow watched it.
I saw it yesterday and it looked pretty cool
Btw is the developers direct today or tomorrow?
Tomorrow, but for some itās today cause of timezones
Iām in Australia so idrk
Ngl tomorrow I think instead of this, the showcase will be something different, Iām not sure though, lol
Just did a conversion
It should be today for me
In Australia to so for us it's gonna be 4am š¦
Oh lmao
the leaked 90 seconds of footage was from a tech demo weeks ago
Guyss!!!!!
Well supposedly dark ages date was leaked and it's gonna be on May 15th and that's literally a day away from my birthday, my birthday is on May 16th. It's gonna be the best birthday ever fr fr š
nice
Tbh I do somewhat think it was some random guy that said this and it suddenly got popular. But I will be happy to be incorrect.
Aw man, tbh I aināt ready to say goodbye to our masterpiece and move on to the next level of masterpiece
Where was that stated?
Frrr lollll
The leak???
Wut
Idk wut ur talking about lol but I'm js saying it bc it's gonna be a lit birthday lol
The date
woke up really early thinking the xbox direct would be at 6am
turns out it'll start at 9pm
Okay well it's on a website that says it's supposedly been leaked
Just search up on google "Doom: The Dark Ages"
My birthday: May 16th
Dark ages lease: May 15th
I just don't naturally trust leaks, anyone can say whatever they want is a "leak"
Yeah ik just saying
like if the "leak" is actually a leak, I'll be pleasantly surprised
Lol
guys I have now leaked that master chief will be in doom the dark ages and he will work with doomguy to kill a big evil force
trust me bro
š blud
How much got leaked?
nothing got leaked
tomorrow's the big day yall
its a rumor considering a non english website posted something early and then took it down
Yeahā¦
Gamekult
But I don't believe in it or take it seriously but still if it is on that day then my birthday is gonna be lit
New trailer soon?
Sign me up
they will most likely show five to ten minutes of gameplay from the main campaign and show multiplayer trailers along with a second trailer for the main campaign
Most thing I like doom is campaign
i saw this its awesome
It already leaked, along with the supposed release date.
The one that leaked was a cutscene from the game, along with camera shots panning across several locations. They might release more gameplay footage later, however I'm not really waiting for a trailer, I'm waiting for an entire game.
i know
I was talking about how they may show a second trailer tomorrow
along with the gameplay footage
I'd have thought it'd be either or. One or the other
usually they show the trailer at the start of the showcase
thatās at least what they did with doom eternal and doom 2016
No Multiplayer imo, probably a Co-op
Is multiplayer confirmed?
no but Iām sure they will have a multiplayer
I sure hope it's like 2016, battle mode was eh
whats the date?
Or co-op campaign
I really hope either deathmatch or co-op is included, thereās literally a civil war happening alongside a hell invasion so it would make sense lore wise.
Hey, what do you think, will the slayer continue to mistreat the one who gives him the upgrades for his weapons in this new game or not?
Prob not unless they fly away from him like dickheads the same way they did in 2016.
Da mooooon
||May 5th||
Oh sick
I just hope it's ready. Might have to treat myself to a new console. Exciting times.
Yeah Iāve got a ps5 my self, canāt wait to play on ps5
I've only got a PS4. My wife wants me to get a laptop though, so I guess a laptop it is.
12h to go.
Letās goooo
I CANT CONTAIN MYSELF
Now itās 11 hours
Now itās⦠11 hours still but 3 less minutes than the last guy said
itās not even out yet
Hell, there hasnāt even been an (officially) announced release date
2025
Thatās just the year, nothing more
We donāt got a month or day yet
and I am very much skeptical on that āleakā that came from some random website
š¤·āāļø
Hopefully they'll give us a release date when the game is... yknow... done lol
Ready to go out on the shelves
Wdym, you donāt like waiting more than a year for a video game to drop after the announcement?
No I think videogames should never be released š
Then I guess video game development should be prohibited. š¤·š¾āāļø
Looks great tbh Iām excited for the official reveal and ofc the editions
you should be
So close yet so far
I almost cant wait for it
It isnāt out.. and just cause they said the year doesnāt mean January 1
Make me.
January 25, they just shadowdrop it cause funny
sorry they only made one copy and I won it in a raffle
it'll be delivered to my house in three days
Im pretty sure doom the dark ages is like doom 2016 and Dark souls had a baby the guns doom 2016 but mediaeval and the melees definitely dark souls like melees
Yeah you can shield and parry now. And Bonfires are going to be Checkpoints lmao
6 hourssss
I ready to rip, tear, saw, hack, cleave, , , , ,
Oh lol
Place your bets now. Do you think the hud face rumors are true
true
which ones?
The rumors that the hud face will return in dark ages
š
dont think so
would make it feel a bit weird since the game is so high fidelity, and humans have a natural sense to look at other humans
early hud designs almost never make it to the final game
today is the 23rd of january, the day where xbox does some stuff
including more stuff for TDA
potential release date, minimum reqs, etc
probably no specs until closer to launch
Good thing I got the xbox series x
shit will BLAZE through dark ages in terms of performance, just like 2016 and eternal
Lol it won't be soulslike at all, we've seen absolutely no evidence of dodgerolls or commiting to animations
definitely not a soulslike, thats for sure
doesnt seem like weapons have any chargeups, you can argue that the chainsaw shield is one tho
ooh what if the chainsaw shield WAS the way to get ammo
like throwing it like a boomerang
which would make sense why theres tons of open areas in every direction
i wonder if the skullcrusher or the shield chainsaw will be the counterparts for the blood punch/chainsaw
or if they just are the counter parts
You probably don't need to "commit" to it like in soulsgames though, giving you full mobility freedom whilst you do it
oh yeah that would be nice
š not in a fast paced FPS
maybe something akin to the many upgrades in 2016 that made your weapons let you move the same speed
LESS THEN 6hrs!!!
Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if they could put TDA in the switch 2
They ported DE on the switch
Depends on when the Switch 2 will be released.
This year XD
I know. It's just we don't know what month and day it'll come out on.
just 2 hours until it starts
2 hours?
yeah
3 hours
but the youtube thing says 2 hours
and it says it starts at 8pm for me (its like 6pm rn)
i think it rounds down at 59 minutes
cause its definitly at 1pm for me and its 10am for me now
thats odd
yea so 2 hours and 50 minutes
What is the order of introduction of the game?
Whatās thatās multiplayer be like for The Dark Ages?
no one knows
1pm eastern time
we dont even know if its gonna have MP to begin with
How long until the developer direct starts?
Two hours and fifteen minutes, I believe.
Ok, thanks

For me it's 2:11
is today the day!?
Ye
youtube streaming always stutters reloads, twitch more dependable
esp since bethesda has to load ads into their ads
the opposite for me, twitch never works for me
i just use ad blocker for youtube
ill try it see how it goes
Yee
time to rewatch the older showcases
Good
Apparently gameplay
Itās supposedly going to be a ādeep diveā
Gomploy
Why wouldnt it
DOOM: Bethesda E3 Showcase Gameplay Reveal - this is a classic
The reason nobody plays 2016 or eternal online is because the multiplayers for both games are mid as hell
2016 DM needed improvements but it was still very fun. I got the slayer skin
but during beta, the dev team (who wans't id) didn't consider the feedback
1 HOUR CHAT
