especially since Hugo has said like "we love Doom 3, but that's something else, we're doing our own thing" essentially

honestly I would just stick to the current lore and universe instead of trying to connect everything, because it is shoddily constructed since the OG games were not made with the current lore in mind lmao
plain iron
I mainly know maykr lore, not so much the rest, but w maykr lore comes with hell lore, so I kinda know some things around that
autumn dawn
they said they're taking the lore out of the codex and into the cutscenes or something
plain iron
Awh man
autumn dawn
but what kind of lore?
prime sentinel
yeah, but I don't think we're gonna find out if Doom 3 is canon is what I'm saying
prime sentinel
but *what kind* of lore?
I think what he means is that we're getting to play and see stuff only mentioned in the codex of games past
autumn dawn
still looking forward to playing Doom 3
prime sentinel
like, you won't have to read a bunch of shit to understand the story and who every character is
plain iron
I feel like the cutscenes are gonna make the lore kind of more up to interpretation, which is annoying
autumn dawn
I think what he means is that we're getting to play and see stuff only mentioned...
the problem is that Doom retcons a lot
take for example: the Spectre
plain iron
And they never tell us when they do either.
prime sentinel
sure, but what I'm trying to say is that the story is going to be more satisfying because you don't have to read the codex to get it
which is what I want
autumn dawn
in 2016, they said they were Pinkies experimented on with Cacodemon eyes to give them partial invisibility
yet in Eternal, they said they were summoned from ancient rituals to rise against the archdemons
prime sentinel
I'm sure there will still be monster bios/lore in TDA
I'm sure there will still be stuff to read
but that you won't have to for the story to make sense
plain iron
yet in Eternal, they said they were summoned from ancient rituals to rise agains...
Truly a doom moment
autumn dawn
what i'm saying is that we're gonna expect to see a lot of changing lore and info
plain iron
joy.
prime sentinel
on the brightside: there will be demons to kill
plain iron
Also with the specter, I wouldn't be shocked if the UAC accidentally recreated how they were formed
autumn dawn
yeah, i'm really looking forward to the skull gun tearing through zombies and imps
prime sentinel
fun fact: the guy who wrote Doom 3 is 76 and also wrote for the RE4 remake lol
so he's still at it I guess

he looks like a Tyrant from eternal and that is very funny to me
autumn dawn
I don't even remember spectres in Doom 3
that's because there weren't
prime sentinel
oh okay was it only mentioned in a recording or something?
autumn dawn
or maybe they were hiding

Werent specters introduced in 2016
prime sentinel
Werent specters introduced in 2016
no they're in Doom 1
autumn dawn
and you just couldn't see them
native geode
no they're in Doom 1
Ah
plain iron
They were in classic doom, just not the same name iirc
prime sentinel
no they were called spectres
plain iron
Awh shit
autumn dawn
no they were still spectres back then
prime sentinel
that never changed
plain iron
I told you, I know more abt the maykrs n shit than classic doom 😭
autumn dawn
the pinkies were called just "demons"
plain iron
THATS RIGHT
autumn dawn
i thought that was weird since literally everything except the zombies were all demons
plain iron
The nameless.
prime sentinel
Demon is the official name, but Id software has called them pinkies since forever
plain iron
They're pink :D
prime sentinel
its referenced in the Doom movie as well iirc
autumn dawn
it's also referenced in 2016, where their codex said that they were unnamed in hell, and the UAC affectionately called them Pinkied
plain iron
That's such a UAC thing to do tho
prime sentinel

kinda sounds a bit like a reference to Id software themselves nicknaming them in the 90s
which is cute
autumn dawn
its referenced in the Doom movie as well iirc
the pinky monster (they weren't explicitly demons in the movie) was originally a human who was nicknamed "Pinky"
plain iron
Oh that's kinda sad
prime sentinel
the pinky monster (they weren't explicitly demons in the movie) was originally a...
yeah
its a reference to their nickname
autumn dawn
it was modeled after the doom 3 pinky, and the hind legs are wheels because the original human was in a wheelchair prior to his transformation
prime sentinel
now the Doom movie is DEFINITELY non canon hahaha
since the monsters were created by a biological experiment
more like RE in space :p
plain iron
since the monsters were created by a biological experiment
I mean, some of the demons in eternal/2016 were as well
The revenant and the carcasses
autumn dawn
the movie itself eas also kinda weird in the sense of the monsters were simple Mars aliens, and not actual demons from hell
autumn dawn
The revenant and the carcasses
the revenant was manmade and engineered since 1994
prime sentinel
no hell energy in the movie, however
prime sentinel
no I meant however in response to Thomas
autumn dawn
oh
prime sentinel
since the man made demons in eternal and 2016 used hell energy and shit to be made
autumn dawn
argent
prime sentinel
also I suppose the classic revenant is still technically a demon
plain iron
That's right, the carcasses are powered by argent
prime sentinel
since it is a demon skeleton that has been retrofitted with rockets and armor
though, no word on if man does this, or demons do this
both are equally possible in the wacky world of classic doom
autumn dawn
they said "when a demon dies, they brush it off, wire it up some combat gear, and send it back to battle"
sleek ermine
Weren’t revenants a normal human or smth until they got affected by a Lazarus wave
prime sentinel

yeah, who are "they" lmfao
autumn dawn
plus it makes the pain sounds of zombies
maybe the demons themselves, it was implied they stole earth's tech for their own use
prime sentinel
yeah
sleek ermine
since it is a demon skeleton that has been retrofitted with rockets and armor
In 2016 it was man made I think
prime sentinel
so not "man made"
prime sentinel
In 2016 it was man made I think
talking about classic doom
in the modern games the UAC kinda works with Hell, or at least experiments on its denizens
this is not the case/way more vague in classic doom
autumn dawn
revenants are not born, they are recycled from the dead demons so i'd say they were "demon made" and not manmade
prime sentinel
haha yeah that's more accurate
sleek ermine
Deag Ranak works at UAC in Eternal

classic doom has super iconic sprites
autumn dawn
imp
prime sentinel
the Imp is amazing too, with his forever open mouth lol
native geode
Cacos piss me off in 2016
autumn dawn
prime sentinel
those old sprites have so much character, the new games get close to replicating it with the talented animators
native geode
True
prime sentinel
but they aren't quite as charming to me at least
mostly because I think the new games also want demons to look cool, which is admirable, but the old sprites are so goofy and memorable to me that nothing can really compete
autumn dawn
i really don't mind eternal's direction with replicating the original games sprites

the first thing that popped up in my mind are imps
prime sentinel
idk if this has ever been confirmed but my theory is that they gave the demons bug like elements to make the player feel less bad for killing them
in the modern games
plain iron
Probably 😭
prime sentinel
also you squish them like bugs
so it only makes sense
has starship troopers taught us NOTHING?
plain iron
Though, something I've noticed is that divine things in doom are more buglike
prime sentinel
well you squish them too
autumn dawn
the tentacles of the maykrs
prime sentinel
even demons that before were more like goats have bug like elements added to them

The maykr deacon's mouth reminds me of bug mandibles for some reason

the 2016 cyber had two sets of eyes
prime sentinel
they have a carapace
autumn dawn
very tiny ones
prime sentinel
the 2016 mancubus as well

I definitely think the choice to make them more bug like was to make them less human and therefore more fun to kill
autumn dawn
the carapace one, the hell knight, hell guards, and parasites had them
plain iron
Davoth looks like a beetle

the mancubus had actual biological arm cannons

so I'm not crazy? the bug theory is reasonable?
I've been thinking about this for years
plain iron
Oh definitely
autumn dawn
mmmm it's plausible
plain iron
Bugs do hold a place in divinity too
prime sentinel
I mean, the new designs for sure have bug like elements
which is a common method for dehumanizing aliens and shit like that
since bugs are very alien cretures to us, we tend to think they're gross (not everyone)
autumn dawn
Bugs do hold a place in divinity too
ehhhh not for me since i'm Christian but for other religions, i guess bugs hold some form of divinity
prime sentinel

Yeah, I was more talking abt Egyptian and the like mb 😭
autumn dawn
ohhh
prime sentinel
most people do not feel bad about killing bugs though, which is why, if you make a game like Doom where you are mercilessly killing things, it makes more sense to get inspiration from bugs rather than other animals
plain iron
Also would the name of the maykr language be maykrean
prime sentinel
no idea haha
autumn dawn
i dunno, maybe they also spoke Argenta
plain iron
It flows nicely imo
prime sentinel
the old games didn't have this problem because of the low fidelity, in modern games you kinda have to make everything more believable (at least in the triple aaa space) so seeing a demon that looks more like a real animal might make it harder for some people to play the game, hence, bugs
plain iron
The maykr language is entirely translatable in TAG btw :3
prime sentinel
my brain is expanding
autumn dawn
in the flashbacks doomguy had of his past, i think it's like how anime handles foreign people: they're speaking japanese so the viewer can understand, bbut in world wise, they're speaking the other language
prime sentinel
maybe doomguy doesn't even speak english
maybe his universe doesn't have english at all
plain iron
Well, he did but the sentinels/maykrs said it was ugly and blunt
prime sentinel
do you think he had to learn whatever language they speak on the current earth?
autumn dawn
example: in JJBA part 5: an italian main character says to a japanese character "wow your italian is really good"
prime sentinel
oh do they say its english? haha I don't remember
prime sentinel
example: in JJBA part 5: an italian main character says to a japanese character ...
right, its in the language the viewer speaks to make it so you don't have to know the language the characters should be speaking
autumn dawn
do you think he had to learn whatever language they speak on the current earth?
i think it was the other way around, the argenta and the maykrs learned doomguy's language to understand him
prime sentinel
applies for english dubs of japanese stuff
prime sentinel
i think it was the other way around, the argenta and the maykrs learned doomguy'...
then how do they know its english?
plain iron
Samur totally learnt English frfr copium.
autumn dawn
the khan maykr knows a lot

my theory is more fun, so I reject canon :p

they're fun and especially come in handy when you hate the ending of a story and need to cope

Your CPU won’t even be able to run the game 😭

8 cores cpu doesn't mean that you can't launch the game or your pc will explode without it

sometimes i just wonder

Sorry to interrupt chat but am I batshit or did the statue give doomguy some fat on the sides
There's a swell there

maybe
autumn dawn
we know how muscular doomguy is, seeing davoth
prime sentinel
I doubt we're gonna see him naked so you can interpret it how you want haha
plain iron
that isn't fabric
It's chainmail, it functions very similarly to fabric
prime sentinel
unless 🤨
autumn dawn
we did see him shirtless tho in the form of the dark lord
prime sentinel
maybe he just has crazy obliques idk
prime sentinel
we did see him shirtless tho in the form of the dark lord
maybe he went on a diet for Eternal
though, he appears to be a big fan of pizza...
plain iron
I just prefer a fatish doomguy, it makes sense for him to be bigger that way, and still be muscular as shit
autumn dawn
doomguy doesn't need to eat, drink, or sleep
autumn dawn
though, he appears to be a big fan of pizza...
he just eats pizzs for tue fun of it
prime sentinel
he doesn't? I didn't know this lore
plain iron
I really don't want to see a shrinkwrapped doomguy 😭
prime sentinel
did the divinity machine remove his need for food?
autumn dawn
actually where did he get that pizza
autumn dawn
did the divinity machine remove his need for food?
one could argue
plain iron
I wonder why he doesn't have a bed
prime sentinel
doesn't sleep
autumn dawn
the sarcophagus was where he napped for a while
plain iron
Sleeping is wonderful everyone should enjoy sleeping
prime sentinel
being awake for 24 full hours even if you don't have to sleep ever sounds hellish
I wonder if he even CAN sleep
plain iron
Fr
prime sentinel
truly horrifying
plain iron
Samuel watches him sleep </3
prime sentinel
that's spooky
autumn dawn
i'm saying "for a while" because his rage is still building up inside him
plain iron
He's definitely passed out on that chair in his room tho
autumn dawn
like potential energy
prime sentinel
how did he get out of hell after 2016?
autumn dawn
listening to....
plain iron
Reading comic books until he passes out fr
autumn dawn
how did he get out of hell after 2016?

plain iron
how did he get out of hell after 2016?
Vega maybe
prime sentinel
oh do they never explain it?
plain iron
Bega cheese...
prime sentinel
we could get a full game just of that I guess :p why explain it
plain iron
Lawn maykr...
prime sentinel
clearly a lot happens between 2016 and Eternal we are not completely privy to
autumn dawn
Vega maybe
no vega was mostly destroyed after 2016, and the new copy was still like 𝙷𝚎𝚕𝚕𝚘 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚕𝚍!
plain iron
I want more Samuel lore and clarification on what tf he did beforehand
prime sentinel
they need to make a game where we have a sword fight with hayden...
autumn dawn
STANDING HERE I REALIZE
prime sentinel
we were promised it in 2016 dammit
autumn dawn
the longer the icon of sin is on earth.....
prime sentinel
god it sucks that they took that from us, I get that Eternal probably ended up the way it was from a plot perspective simply from the game design
I am certain the game design and levels came first then they wrote the story around it
autumn dawn
we deserved Into Sandy's City
prime sentinel
and I'm cool with that because the levels are awesome
but I wish we got the confrontation we were promised at the end of 2016
autumn dawn
we deserved that, and they took it away from us
plain iron
I want to see humam Samuel's degradation from cancer. It would be interesting on how id software would've portrayed it
plain iron
Idk I just want more old man hayden 😭
prime sentinel
Samuel Hayden, the Telltale series
plain iron
Samuel Hayden, the Telltale series
You telling me that wouldn't be absolute fire
prime sentinel
well as far as we know, for most of Samuel Hayden's existence, possibly all of his human existence, the slayer was in a coffin
so it would be a bit difficult for them to portray human hayden
plain iron
Not even possibly, he got cancer around his 60/70s, and in 2016 he's over 130 years old
prime sentinel
yeah so its like, it would have to be a completely different game
that doesn't have the slayer in it
or maybe just flashbacks in cutscenes idk
plain iron
Ik it's me and my wishful thinking
prime sentinel
you know in portal 2 they have Cave Johnson's old recordings talk to you
maybe we could get old audio logs of Samuel Hayden
plain iron
That's a good idea.
I wanna see him struggle w reality [iirc his cancer was located in the sensory processing lobes]
autumn dawn
"i'm willing to take full responsibility for the sake of mankind"
prime sentinel
could be like that level with the lady in Eternal, but instead its like, an old UAC facility and its Hayden's audio logs throughout the final years of his human life
will have to wait till post TDA though lol
I have a feeling we will not be seeing our main man Sam in TDA
plain iron
Give human hayden random ass doomguy hallucinations he doesn't realise were memories from his time as samur
autumn dawn
would the tech be advanced enough to have holograms?
plain iron
I have a feeling we will not be seeing our main man Sam in TDA
I'd hope we'd see Samur
prime sentinel
Give human hayden random ass doomguy hallucinations he doesn't realise were memo...
oh yeah like he predicts the slayer's coming when he touches the coffin or something
like they dig up the coffin and suddenly certain memories come flooding back
plain iron
would the tech be advanced enough to have holograms?
In TDA? probably, the sentinels do have a form of projection
prime sentinel
that would be sick
prime sentinel
would the tech be advanced enough to have holograms?
the Hebeth lab looks pretty damn high tech
autumn dawn
whst if instead of holograms we csn see him through the spheres of energy or something
prime sentinel
they can make goddamn laser guns
I totally think they can make holograms
maybe they're magic holograms lol
the concept art made me think the sentinels use a combination of science and magic
autumn dawn
oh yeah i forgot the divinity machine existed
plain iron
oh yeah like he predicts the slayer's coming when he touches the coffin or somet...
Nawh even before that, I mean human hayden, when the cancer got bad he started having these weird hallucinations n shit
prime sentinel
when did they dig up the coffin?
how long was it there before the doom slayer got out?
plain iron
Olivia was there, and he was a robot when they got the coffin
prime sentinel
ah okay
autumn dawn
iirc sammy and olivia that bitch discovered the coffin together
prime sentinel
wasn't completely sure about that
autumn dawn
oh it was already said
autumn dawn
she wasn't disabled
prime sentinel
yeah she was, her legs were messed up right?
autumn dawn
she was just very robotty with her fit
plain iron
She had severe scoliosis 😭
prime sentinel
yeah I think they used argent to make her exoskeleton or something?
plain iron
Probably, it was experimental
prime sentinel
which explains why she's so obssessed with it
prime sentinel
the mastermind herself
plain iron
She also refuses pain medication, and I think that's totally reasonable
prime sentinel
Olivia is a great villain, I like that she is always one step ahead of you, like bowser or something haha
autumn dawn
btw did she transform into the spiderdemon, or was she sacrificed for it?
prime sentinel
I think she transformed into it
plain iron
The meds she would be put on would genuinely cloud her mind [she'd be put on opioid meds]
plain iron
btw did she transform into the spiderdemon, or was she sacrificed for it?
She and the mastermind become one iirc
autumn dawn
a couple of hell steroids, and you turn into a spider
plain iron
I wanna hug Olivia lowkey
prime sentinel
with the BFG?
autumn dawn
i would.... to break her spine
prime sentinel
in the mouth?
prime sentinel
that DOES NOT excuse what she did haha
plain iron
I'd also wanna hug most of the doom characters tho
autumn dawn
also Thomas: destroys a statue of her in Nekravol
plain iron
I wouldn't have the balls to talk to any one of em tho
I can't even talk on the phone
gentle cobalt
Olivia’s constant pain (self-chosen, she refused to take pain meds because she felt it clouded her mind) drove her to madness which is what let one of the Deags get to her
prime sentinel
Olivia: Girlboss. Samuel Hayden: Gaslighting. The Khan Makyr: Gatekeeping.
I figured it out, guys
pack it up
autumn dawn
Doomslayer: on drugs
plain iron
Girlboss? She's a girl failure have you seen her office 😭
She eats like a 12 year old
prime sentinel

She also probably knows french

plain iron
Being disabled has a few perks, like the ability to lay in bed all day playing candy crush because if you move, your entire body is on fire
-Olivia probably
prime sentinel
lots of time to plan your evil soul harvesting plot
plain iron
That too.
plain iron
Olivia is so real for bedrotting
prime sentinel
well Samuel was important enough to be given a new body, I wonder if Olivia would have that luxury
plain iron
Definitely not, samuel would try though
prime sentinel
I wonder if Hayden was short when he was human, so he asked for his robot body to be made huge
and the tech guys shrugged and were like "alright, more room to put the tech into"
plain iron
He seems to have a [somewhat] soft spot for Olivia
prime sentinel
DAMN
plain iron
Awh man.

check out the new bsky post from DOOM
plain iron
Bet bet
prime sentinel
its just the imp, its awesome
gorgeous model, goddamn
making his mouth constantly open: GOAT move
looks so awesome
autumn dawn
that's really badass
it looks so close to the original imp!!
also, with that body build, it looks more like a heavy demon rather than a fodder
delicate grotto
Every Doom game has incredible art direction, damn
grim cloud
Stalker, that means all classic imps are of the stalker variant
but it fires green ... i find that confusing
my 3 year old says its a arch vile, and he is upset im calling it a stalker
prime sentinel
but it fires green ... i find that confusing
I think the green is because that attack is counterable
my theory is that Imps will only fire counterable projectiles to introduce you to the concept

@plain iron looking at the art book for the first time, the concept art for Eternal is so gorgeous, and its crazy how they translated a lot of this 1:1 into the game
plain iron
Yeah it's wonderful
prime sentinel
impressive work from the artist and the 3D artists at Id who brought it to life so accurately
plain iron
I actually own a copy and it's so worth it
prime sentinel
plain iron
Mind flayers.
prime sentinel
look at this, is this not oddly similar to the floating monsters from TDA? just makyr instead of fleshy?
plain iron
I wouldn't be surprised if they used that design for it

Definitely early on
That looks like Emerson's work
Also, immora concept design from colin geller
prime sentinel
wow

I rarely draw, I doodle in MSPaint sometimes
I don't have any Doom drawings so I can't post it hehe

oooh yeah love this one, the Doom 64 logo is great!
imo Doom Eternal is tied with 3 for having the best hell
parts of it do remind me of Doom 3, here with those demon head statues with the lava falls coming out

I'm so fucking glad these guys are back
was really hoping to see them in Eternal and was fairly disappointed that they were left out. they look beautiful, absolute perfection. the pinnacle of hellspawn
prime sentinel
They’re beautiful, I agree
I like the new imp design a lot but something about this feels better, though, we will have the 2016/eternal imps with the hairy imps
And these are called imp stalkers, so I’m gonna guess the other ones will be called imp soldiers or something like that
warm ibex
I think it's cool that we have two very different types of one species on the battlefield now
I'm fairly certain that the Imp Stalkers will be lower evolutions of the Archviles
humble moon
don dak age
warm ibex
2016's Summoners are highly evolved modern Imps, I'm not sure if it ever says anything about the Archvile being an imp as well
but it seems pretty likely now. The Stalkers remind me of Eternal's Archvile
prime sentinel
Well I kinda think it might be a design language thing but we will see
The big claws are very archvile like though
humble moon
The big claws are very archvile like though
you have a great point
warm ibex
don dak age
and you have an excellent point
humble moon
oh and the legs of this imp remind me of the 2016 summoner
humble moon
and you have an excellent point
prime sentinel
It’s hard to say, in a way it looks like the vile, but it also looks pretty much exactly how you would
Imagine the classic imp would look in the modern doom style
Sans the giant claws

Oh no
humble moon
It’s hard to say, in a way it looks like the vile, but it also looks pretty much...
Its crazy how it looks like summoner, og imp and the archvile
prime sentinel
It looks the most like the OG imp imo
But I can see certain elements of the other 2, but is that intentional or is it just because it’s the same style?

Concept art and a model overview for the Imp Stalker (classic Imp) was released today, that's all the big news for now

Cinematic promotion trailer for doom the dark ages when
slender night
Concept art and a model overview for the Imp Stalker (classic Imp) was released ...
Hopefully we get a DOOM 3 design of sorts, whether as a skin or as an enemy
warm ibex
That would be pretty sick
slender night
The Imp from D3 is my favorite design of it
warm ibex
It's certainly interesting! definitely don't hate it
I don't think D3 has any enemy designs that are just straight up bad
sleek ermine
Alright
slender night
A lot of them are ugly which is kind of the point, like I can see why someone doesn't like the Cacodemon design but come on it's for a horror-focused game
sleek ermine
So upgrading my PC is too expensive
I’ll just be getting a new XBOX (prolly if parents allow)
warm ibex
That's probably the way to go if you can't afford a solid PC at the moment
slender night
I'm going the same route but I'm not really in a hurry for it
I won't be buying TDA for like a year anyway so
sleek ermine
Basically, let’s say 1$ is 10 of my currency, and upgrading my PC would cost atleast 11000 of my currency
XBOX Series X is 6000 ish
So uh going cheaper is going better in this case right
slender night
You can just get a Series S if you don't care about physical gaming, it's cheaper
sleek ermine
Is there a major difference
slender night
Graphically there is one but it's not HUGE, it has 50% less memory though
sleek ermine
512 GB-1 TB huh
slender night
You can always pick up an external drive
final dune
Hopefully they're gonna have more time to work on the dlc too unlike doom eternal
sleek ermine
If I go with Series S I save like half a year of saving
And my parents would probably allow it too
But
Actually nvm
Are the newer Xbox consoles capable of raytracing
warm ibex
I believe so
slender night
They are, but in the end that doesn't really matter
sleek ermine
Because doom the dark ages
slender night
Console games are optimized for... well, the console
sleek ermine
Yup it’s on Series X|S
When I put it in the opposite order it could get weird so fixed it

mystic barn
The ambient piece heard in the Imp Stalker showcase is (almost certainly) from Infernal Chasm. It likely follows the Coutdown to Death callback in the intro of the song, before bridging into the main chorus (heard at 0:35 in Finishing Move's soundtrack teaser). The ticking clock motif is probably also a reference to Countdown to Death

You can work for most of the skins, which is good imo

i find it cool that they accurately translated the classic doomguy armor into modern style

Default skin still looks better in most scenes imho

Mhm, they even got the scars from the classic cover too
His arm has scars where that demon grabbed him
autumn dawn
though i wanted the box cover demon in the game
or atleast make an official physical appearance in TDA
frail bloom
He looks a bit too funky for that 😭
Nah did you see the fan art
frail bloom
They're in the codex though
Also some of them were really beefy, looked like barons
autumn dawn
some also had long snake tongues

plain iron
Yeah roughly
frail bloom
Wait I just realized
There are modern imps in the backround of the imp stalker video
In the lastshot where he shoots the fireball
autumn dawn
hol on whut
frail bloom
Yeah look in the backround you can recognize their scoliosis posture
Lemme send it in screenshot
half canopy
the new imp looks like if it was some sort of distant cousin of the archvile
autumn dawn
actually that might be the case
warm ibex
that's what we were discussing earlier!
autumn dawn
speaking of, do we know if archies will return in this game?
warm ibex
I think that's a given
autumn dawn
i....... don't see them.
warm ibex
and you don't need to! it's just that obvious
frail bloom
Whaa noo y
half canopy
maybe there will be normal imps and this will be our new archie
frail bloom
Im onto something
warm ibex
(supposedly) biggest enemy roster to date, every other iconic franchise staple is coming back. of course we'll see the archvile
autumn dawn
maybe there will be normal imps and this will be our new archie
that's a stretch, these "stalkers" are obviously of the imp species

But what about chaingunner
Sentinel chaingunner would be cool
frail bloom
Yeah some day
prime sentinel
the modern imps are grey and hairy, we already know they're in the game
grizzled umbra
Crazy they put the Stream Protector in Dark Ages
plain iron
that's what we were discussing earlier!
I agree! It would fit in with the whole modern imps being related to summoners, given they act like archviles too
warm ibex
plain iron
Hey wait that looks like the stone imps
autumn dawn
oh they still look like the 2016/eternal imps

Here's the TDA Imp concept art featured in The Art of Slaying episode one (edited by me for clarity)
prime sentinel
I'm not sure how much I agree with the archie thing, pretty sure they're seperate species
I think the superficial comparisons might be more just because of the way demons are designed in the new games
grizzled umbra

they look like nightmare imps

I don't think they do lol
prime sentinel
for the most part, I think the Stalker Imp resembles the classic imp the most

Yes, that's the point, they're related, not the same species
autumn dawn
i'm not sure if i like the color
plain iron
I like purple
grizzled umbra
I don't think they do lol
Well not anatomically but they have the same purple hue going, that's what I am reminded of
prime sentinel
either way, the Stalker Imp might be my favorite demon design we've seen for TDA so far, it captures the classic sprite perfectly in the modern style

bro is going camping
autumn dawn
that's what i'm saying my guy

Lowkey camping sounds great rn

I wonder what the Tyrant/Tyrant equivilant will look like

Hello mr Gaming
warm ibex
oh hey man
autumn dawn
shit
prime sentinel
Doom 64 is Hugo's favorite seemingly, so idk maybe the color is a call back, but he's not transluscent
maybe that's where the idea of having 2 imps comes from
plain iron
I wonder what the Tyrant/Tyrant equivilant will look like
I think we already saw em, them big ass winged mfs

Cacos have had a weird evolution, the new one looks more like DOOM 3 cacos now

I love Doom 3, great game, great code too
prime sentinel
I think its interesting that the vile in Eternal has knee spikes like the classic imp does, but the classic archvile has no such spikes
autumn dawn
doom 3 did a unique thing about the caco, even tho many people don't like it for straying too far

i want the DOOM 64 Pain Elemental

the archvile was always a heavier demon even in classic doom, takes like 4 SSG shots/3-4 rockets to put him down

The new purple imp looks also like a white dude 😭

Yeah but not the strongest heavy, he finally used creatine in Eternal
prime sentinel
(for reference, the mancubus consistently takes 3 in classic doom)
