Hand to Hand combat with finishers? Stunt and kick? Ripping arms as keycards?
Eeeh. Seems they took ideas from different FPS and mashed them together.

Which might result in a really fun game with lots of stuff to do, or a full aimless mess.
Need the video to decide. No regen and fast action sounds good, though.

This gen needs a good DOOM. If anything it'll rejuvenate our senses more than Wolfenstein will, no offense. The XBox had some notorious hype from DOOM 3 even after Halo 2 had been out for a while. I just hope it survives today's audience and becomes another pop culture phenomenon. I think I'm a bit worried about its acceptance and portrayal more than anything. I want an reincarnation of hell but without the cheesy stuff. I want hideous demonic creatures trying to rip my face off.

Spoiler

Like in the last bit of DOOM3 where the ground forms itself beneath your feet.

[TheRealTalker]

wait let me get out my sketch pad since they made the footage all private

 

[TheSadRanger]

There will be. They showed it, and apparently it even had the same sounds as the old one.

Awesome!!

[direct_quote]

They're going to keep remaking DOOM until they get it right. But this is one of the only games I'm looking forward to so I hope it ends up meeting the hype.

 

[Kade]

Video games.

 

[Remachinate]

I don't understand and am somewhat disturbed by the fetishization of gore in these types of games?

 

[viveks86]

In another demo, the player ripped out a chainsaw, which allowed him to carve up demons in different directions — through the shoulder, torso or straight down the middle. Rocket launchers separated demons' top-parts from their bottom-parts.

[Raptor]

You don't want another really good game? Shame on you.

To my defense, I was talking about weapon sounds only

 

[FloweryMarston]

Missed opportunity to name it id Tech 666.

they do call it like it though lol

 

[Canis lupus]

Doesn't look like health regenerates. Enemies drop health when you squish them.

 

[jambo]

not what i remember from doom 3...at least what i played of it...

whats the closest comparison of speed to a modern-ish game?

The "old days" refers to DOOM and DOOM II.

 

[benny_a]

I thought everyone pretty much agreed on that liveblogging is bad because you have no chance to reflect on what you're seeing.

How about the enthusiast press watches the demo, thinks about the demo, talks amongst its editorial staff and then writes a preview. Alternatively do the talking part in a video / podcast.

 

[bigboss370]

Doom 3 played very differently than the older Doom games. Much slower, less enemies, linear levels.

Doom 3 was a departure from the old days.

I was one of the few people that enjoyed Doom3 though. It tried to be half life.

ah okay. yeah i enjoyed what i played of doom 3 as well.

i guess this will be completely different. less horror, more guns blazing.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Very curious about idTech 6 assuming that wasn't an error. Really wonder if there are still technical wizards at id. Also hoping they are ditching that mega texture shit.

 

[Trojan X]

i want this so bad. I still love Doom 3 and don't understand all the hate it gets. even replaying it on PS3 was awesome. more fun than i get from a lot of modern FPS.

Doom 3 and Doom 3 Resurrection of Evil is messed up awesome! I think people stopped hating Doom 3 after the torch and shooting at the same time was resolved. Is that true to say? Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Syf]

Fought two barons of hell. Crazy AI. They'd climb after you. Swat away rockets. Flanked by smaller demons. Whole rooms full of demons.

Now that sounds great.

 

[ChawlieTheFair]

A new Polygon article on their impressions

http://www.polygon.com/2014/7/17/5913883/doom-4-quakecon-reveal

Article mentions double jumping and carrying all guns at once. Sounds pretty damn good.

 

[Vibranium]

I hope it's really good, I'm always on the lookout for a crazy fun FPS. I love Doom, though it's been a long time since I played.

If not, I'll always have Wolfenstein The New Order, Machine Games and a potential sequel for my FPS action!

 

[Granadier]

Why make it a press only event if they are just going to live tweet everything?

Just show a trailer.

 

[Fancy Clown]

To my defense, I was talking about weapon sounds only

Fair enough...just crank that sound system next time you play it

something this fast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6PK9bd_uUs

Wow, some of those are crazy close to the wire.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

Wait, wasn't Doom 3 an origin story?

Fingers crossed that idtech6 doesn't result in the same bloated file sizes and texture popin when turning quickly that 5 had.

Will it be better or worse without Carmack...

 

[SwiftDeath]

Cool I am excite

 

[Raptor]

I want the shotguns to do that Id/Bethesda, not only the rocket launchers!!

I hope at least the demons goes flying backwards in mess of gibs and blood everywhere oh my..... when using a shotun.

This just reminded me that Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance 2 is going to be so awesome.

Promising, promising.. does he have six arms? has Satan been announced?

 

[Totobeni]

I was right on my speculation on this game using the new engine then. (even that it seems they didn't call it Void engine)

from the other thread

not long ago Zenimax trademarked a new Engine called Void
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=715736


Then we know that they were hiring engine programmers for the engine in their Core Technology group team (the team in charge of that), and it's clearly for an FPS title(s)


http://jobs.zenimax.com/requisitions/view/618

so yeah. Void. new Engine. for FPS legendary title.

my guess is this will be Void engine first game.

That the listing specifically asks for help creating the engine suggests to me that it doesn't really exist in a tangible form yet. I'd say you could be cautiously optimistic,but Bethesda is unveiling the game itself next month, so it's most definitely using id Tech 5.

oh JC

the hiring page on Bethesda site says it's 60fps engine as well and this fit with this announcement.

 

[bidguy]

sounds good but what about the graphics nobody commented on them ?

 

[Sanke__]

Any mention of the Gore?

Idk

No one seems to be mentioning whether or not it has gore.

 

[Jito]

I don't understand and am somewhat disturbed by the fetishization of gore in these types of games?

Because it's visceral and adds feedback to the gameplay.

Also, because its a fucking Doom game dude.

 

[Bloodrage]

Doom will focus on high-speed movement and run-and-gun. Just like the old days.

Doom will run on idTech 6, according to Stratton. Will support 1080p, 60 frames per second.

Doesn't look like health regenerates. Enemies drop health when you squish them.

I can't recall seeing a more gruesome and violent game demo in my entire life #Doom #QuakeCon

Ok, I'm hyped.

 

[Fancy Clown]

People hated it because despite being an awesome game, it was a very different reimagining of the DOOM franchise, with entirely different combat style, level design, and enemy encounters. Fast paced maze shooter ---> linear horror shooter.

[To Far Away Times]

That opening post is beautiful.

I want to see this in action.

 

[DieH@rd]

I really like what was reported. Hopefully they will release footage soon.

The state of the gaming industry, ladies and gentlemen.

Yes, and I love it. Doom was always about action and gore, and they are making precisely what the fans want. If they are focused, they will probably manage to repeat the success of latest Wolfenstein game.

 

[Naminator]

The state of the gaming industry, ladies and gentlemen.

Yes, absolute psychopaths, every single one of them. That's why we constantly get all the mass shootings at these kinds of conventions every year........ohhh wait.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

It'll be interesting to see how a game like this is received in this day and age. I'm reminded of Unreal Tournament III and how badly that game did commercially. I hope Doom turns out to be amazing, but in my mind I'm just picturing a more polished and more gory Serious Sam.

 

[G-Fex]

let's give a big applause to Sgt. Mark who made this possible

 

[LurkerPrime]

Doesn't look like health regenerates. Enemies drop health when you squish them.

Wait, so it uses the same health regeneration method as Warhammer 40k: Space Marine? Executions to restore health, I mean.

 

[Zombie James]

Sounds great, and thank fuck it's not cross-gen.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Standing ovation for violence, depressing. I mean, I love Doom and the violence is part of the package but, shit.

Gears did this a while back so not even original. Also idtech 5 is shit. I hope 6 is better.
