DOOM - "Fight Like Hell" Campaign Trailer
- Thread starter shinobi602
- Start date
Terrible trailer. An endless barrage of pre-canned melee animations is not what I think of when I think Doom. I've seen clips of the game where it was demoed in more promising ways, but I don't see what's so interesting about ripping control from the player's hands when one of the hallmarks of Doom 1 and 2 was their great emphasis on fast pace and fluid controls.

Bloody UAC labs:
Gibs!
Zombie soldiers with shields, and a chaingunner in the middle?
Chaingunner go boom!
Room-full of monsters! I spy: Imps, Lost Souls, Pinky, Cacodemon, Mancubus.
Face-to-face with DOOM's iconic Pinky:
Performing dentistry on a Pinky:
It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.
Hell has never looked better! How 'bout those RED Cacodemons!? And check out the Imp leaping in off-screen from the left, chucking a fireball mid-flight!
Punching an Imp in the face. (Jesus, those Cacodemons are terrifying.)
Cacodemon with a ripped-out eye. Also: Green armor pickup spotted!
Nice look at an Imp before it gets its head stomped in.
Chaingun, motherfuckers!
Blue and yellow keycard doors? Oh, hi Mr.Cyberdemon Baron of Hell!

It's fucking incredible.
MachineGames are the reigning king of campaign FPS, in my opinion.

When will people ever stop overreacting to anything people say in the forum? All I said is that it could potentially harm the game.
I'm still excited.
i second this, incredible game!
i wonder it there will be NDA with the BETA, i really want to share gameplay

As I was going back through the trailer, taking screenshots, I noticed the Cacodemons in the "punching Imp in the face" scene were purposely frozen in place to allow for the eye-rip execution. lol.

I'm really looking forward to the MP. I still haven't seen how many maps will be in the game. Anyone know?

You said potentially ruin the game buddy, which is an overreaction in itself.
Please do man, you won't be disappointed, it excels in every department, closest a game has come to single player fps perfection since HL2.
Neon colored pickups and doors might be the most reassuring thing I've seen about this game so far.

If the multiplayer is any indication the game won't be melee focused at all. I imagine on harder difficulties the melee executions will be a lot harder to pull off, so if you start on Ultra-Violence (which better be the difficult name) the executions will feel super satisfying if you manage it.
Doom is also about exploration and finding secrets but guess what? A thrilling "in your face" trailer that does not make. Even the E3 demo had moments of quiet and traversal. Use some common sense.

I wonder what happens to a cacodemon after you rip its eye out.
Will it die immediately or fly around aimlessly and scream in agony

it seems to have a death animation based up the trailer where it aimless flails and floats

LMAO, the latter would be awesome! Imagine if it flew around blindly and just spit plasma balls everywhere, which would result in a ton of "accidental" infighting!

This now needs to happen.
At least i am not the only one thinking about that.

Showed this to a friend at work who had no idea that this was coming out and it was hilarious to watch and hear his reactions. Every few seconds it was WOAH and HOLY SHIT and OH MY GOD YES. By the end he was giggling like a little kid.
Bethesda is tapping into the right vein.

That trailer got me hyped. I doubt I'll be there day one but definitely year one to play though the campaign (after my daughter goes to bed).
Are you like, surprised or something?
All trailer gameplay is staged, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure that out nor do you have to point it out like you're solving some runic code lol.
Same with my Co-worker. Came by my desk when I was watching it and he went nuts. He had no idea it was a thing.
I was a teeny bit let down by The Old Blood, which I did still love, because it was too short, with individual encounters that were too long. Like, hey, meet a woman, she seems really cool, one encounter with nazis later and that's the end of her.
This makes for a GOOD TRAILER, but the game itself is absolutely incredible, from what I've played so far. Only complaint is the shotgun range is abysmal.

I think the issue is the reliance on said cinematic kills in the trailer. Is there anything else to the game? because the way they are presenting it the most noteworthy thing about it is some bog standard melee kills I've seen in a thousand other games. the bullet list of features is 'gruesome kills' and 'ripping off an arm to use it on a door scanner' pretty gimmicky stuff if you ask me. What it setting this apart that people are so excited for, other than they slapped the 'doom' name on it? It seems nobody involved with any of the other games has anything to do with it and it's just something that bethesda is shitting out because they own the rights. Am I missing something here? should I be excited?
if you havent been following the game since the E3 reveal then yeah i can see if you feel this way, the reason to get excited about this is that its a modern DOOM game that will play more like the classic games. this is especially pleasing since the leaked doom 4 footage shows that this game would have been a COD style shooter:

I too loved Doom 1&2 because they had canned animations, slow movement, QTEs, piñata enemies, and no mods. Oh wait, no I didn't.
Music is great though, but it's Mick Gordon so that's no surprise.

It is the perfect marriage. I am so happy Mick's work has exploded in the last 3 years and I can only hope he is doing the next Wolf as well.
Looks great, thanks for the pics! Just realised whats bugging me in them though: monsters are not casting any shadows. Wonder if it's a bug...
well, you could run up and do the animation, or just pop the monsters head off with the sniper
which one would you prefer at that time?

It's DOOM in capital letters though...it's really 'rock and roll' and 'visceral', kind of like a 48 year old dad in a Green Day shirt is 'punk' as fuck.
That's the Baron of Hell, also did you post a similar post like this in Doomworld?

I pre-ordered the CE on Amazon. That fucking statue. So evil. Fuck!
It isn't like you'll have to do them.
The option to punch a limb off and be on my merry way, maybe with the option of picking it up to use as a melee weapon.
Having control of the camera taken from you in those moments doesn't seem like it'll aid the fluidity of the gameplay.
