So are they really not even going to show an edited down trailer until next year? Seems like not the best strategy.
Seriously I can't believe we haven't even seen a picture of it.

Hard to even be hype about something where they have literally revealed nothing outside of a CG trailer.
Not to mention the slap-in-the-face stream that showed a bunch of adds only to abruptly cut right before the reveal. If you don't wanna show it, why even have a stream?

Someone was tweeting the event as it happened, and in one part a demon ripped the arms of the player and beat him to death with them.

Can't say I recall anyone being confused about why so many people loved Doom in its day. Ever wonder if maybe its just you?

Can't decide if those two dudes cosplaying as a 90's John Romero is the best or the worst thing I've seen all day..

I dunnooooo, it's gonna be hard to beat that FFXV "revlealed" trailer from E3 2013.
Don't get me wrong; I know this was a very popular series back in the day, and even now twenty years later people would kill for a sequel - it's not those people I'm referring to as they are naturally interested in the game. What I am referring to is just how transparently Bethesda is building up hype in this case. It feels like textbook consumer psychology where you can pique the interest of the people that normally would not care by not letting them in on the secret.

They may be, but if this is all we get until next year, it's the definition of manufactured hype: being told how amazing something is, but no you don't get to make your own opinion, just be hyped.
yuuuuuuuuup, this.

On a different note, am I the only one extremely skeptical by all this? I mean I get throwing something out to the fans at your convention, but if these reactions are authentic, then iD would know they have gold and I imagine would want that out in public as soon as possible.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if they decided to release the video at one of the upcoming shows, again assuming it really is that good.
Then again, I remember thinking Doom 3 was pretty amazing for about the first 2 hours until I quickly realized that every room in the game was exactly the same and then got bored and turned it off.

I think Bethesda probably made the right PR move by making this reveal closed door. What you end up with is the most ardent of fans hyping it with over-the-top enthusiasm. By not showing the footage on the Internet so everyone can form their own opinion, you've shut out the potential for most criticism and are left with reaction videos like the one in this topic that ends with a hyperbolic statement like, "There's nothing else we could say to even comprehend what just happened."
It's a good way to start the early hype train rolling while still leaving the gameplay public debut card in your hand for later.

I prefer CD Projekt Red's approach where they showed extended gameplay demos behind closed doors, but also released in-game footage in the form of trailers to the public (last year). That way you at least have some material to work with when reading the press previews as opposed to usingimagination.gif

Haha, that was entertaining.
Not sure if they were paid actors, but whatever.

Dunno man. A cup of strong coffee has all of the advantages and none of the downsides.

1. Their trick worked because now I really want to see the footage.
2. Not to be rude, but what about QuakeCon makes it still so popular? Hasn't id been kind of...for lack of a better term....irrelevant for many years now?

The game sounds gorey in a bad way, and also stupid. So take that.

He should of asked for the female's thoughts too.
Coffee is generally an acquired taste, and only for fresh coffee, properly prepared. Inexpensive or stale coffee always tastes awful. Caffeine levels also vary across types. So it's a inconvenient way to maintain a regular caffeine intake and ensure a consistent quality.
Energy drinks are specifically formulated to have a consistent flavor and caffeine level. They are also more consistantly available cold, the generally preferred temperature. And the quality is equally consistant over long periods of time unlike coffee; which depends on the ingredients, person making it and how long since it has been brewed.
It's not hard to figure out why young generations not beholden to meaningless traditions would choose the more efficient, and as an average more consistent quality, choice.
But right, "LoL gamers" because younger generations establishing new behavior patterns that contradict what other generations "did in their day" is embarrassing.

the community is great, and the conference turned into bethesdacon since a few years ago, so even if id didn't launch much games, they had suprises from bethesda, and the usual john carmack 3 hour keynotes (which won't happen anymore ;_
.It's so sweet to see id getting a lot of love considering all the bad news regarding them since 2011. I hope they deliver hard with this game.
