Doom announced (id/Bethesda, PC/PS4/XB1, idtech6, 1080p/60fps, gore), first details

Exactly. Doom 3 tried to give you a sense of horror and what not. This doesn't sound like it.

John carmack was at least playing the game at 1080p.
So, I don't want to be too cynical about a game before even getting to watch a video of it, but whenever a company talks about their product an name drops just about everything the fan base wants I get worried about it being skin deep only. Are they mostly concerned about checking Gore, Run n' gun and Demons on their development check list, or are they bringing their own take on these features focused around the team's vision of the game?
The Polygon article mentioning Double Jumping as an ability did way more to excite me than any mention of melee brutalities, since that's something that wasn't in a previous Doom game but sounds like it could fit in with good map design. Hopefully more details like that one surfaces before the full reveal.

Are all elements of classic games beyond question just because we have nostalgia for them? Can we really say that the horror of pixelated gibs were what made the original Doom a seminal video game classic?
Hate to bring this up, but the shootings gave the games the bad name. I've played DOOM since that 95 Packard Bell was in my parent's room and it had never been a problem in my life until the news stories came out. It gives the series a bad rep, even if we have stuff like this to reference to.
Bill Gates for crying out loud.
Absolutely the same with me. I grew up with these games and was baffled by the suggestion that killings were a direct consequence of such games when me and no one I knew had any such thoughts. We even played such games with teachers at after school club. Also Packard Bell 909D for lyfe.

Didnt get that either. Saying that a game supports 1080p/60fps on PC is completely irrelevant nowadays.

it will, they will talk about it later!
"I post picture"
"Ok"
Nice comeback jito.
Let's not kid ourselves and if you say "Well DOOM is all about the GOREEEEEEEEEEEEEE" no you're wrong. That's the brutal doom/sgt mark style of thinking.
In case you guys don't remember. Doom did have gory death animations and string up marine bodies. It was more about the great level layouts as well as the superb gameplay.
more or less true to the originals, gore gore gore, announced to the most receptive possible audience while the rest of the world will have to wait until 2015 (?!) to see something, little to no details about shooting/level design/etc. as far as I can tell
Sounds interesting, for sure, but still far from sold. Looking forward to being pleasantly surprised.

No it was the gameplay but the tone and theme did not hurt.

For anybody bitching about the violence and gore- WTF? Have you even played Doom? Check out Brutal Doom for reference. It's one of the best mods out there for any game ever. So yeah, over-the-top blood and gore is great. This is what I've been waiting for. I love Doom. I don't want a distilled experience. I want the most hyper masculine and violent experience I can get. I mean, gratuitous and pornographic in nature. Just fucked up satanic stuff all over the levels. Guts hanging from the ceilings, etc. THAT is Doom.

I love Pokken!
People are going to jump on me, but i wished they maintained the slow, survival horror-ish gameplay of Doom 3
While ID seemingly losing all it's notable talent seems bad, I'm kind of hoping the positive early impressions are a sign it was a kick up the ass to what's left of ID to go all out to try and prove themselves again.
This thread also a good sign in that regard: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=851209
Edit: Too bad about the dumb title reboot stuff though.

What I liked about Brutal Doom was the dynamic gore. A stray shotgun blast taking off a demon's arm, a grunt's legs, etc.
I never liked the "finishing moves" animations that forced a third person camera angle.
From what I'm reading about this game, it sounds more like the latter (not the camera angle, but the canned animation).
I wonder where they get these ideas from.

If the tweets are true then Hallelujah.
Yeah I'm assuming that was a quick tweet and mangled with the console announcements. Would have liked to here that they were really going to push the limits with the game, maybe even 4k textures. Ah well...

Am i the only one here who is absolutely shocked by the announcement of ID tech 6?
John Carmack and company spent so much time and money getting ID tech 5 finished, then it launched with Rage and no one cared. Since then, ID tech 5 has been disliked by many, and is usually frowned upon when games use it.
There was even that rumor of bethesda trying to buy human head games (Prey creators) because they knew how to use ID tech and it was a way for the company to recoup losses off creating the engine itself.
Now, after the unsuccessful ID tech 5, they are using a new ID tech 6? John isn't even there anymore...and 5 really hasn't been around to long. I myself did not mind ID tech 5, but i'm wondering if ID tech 6 is just an upgraded/changed 5.

Also, they demoed the game on a controller at Quakecon. AT QUAKECON.
I don't really know or care, I just know its one of the things I like about Doom. If you didn't then I guess this new vision of the game isn't for you.
Lmao you're so mad about this. Calm down, man.

I guess so. It makes sense that fans of doom would go apeshit over Doom things. It just seems silly from my perspective. I'm not at all against violence, but at a point it starts to get stupid. There's a fine line between something well-done and something super cheesy, but I guess Doom has always embraced being more toward the latter.

Man I need to see this footage. My imagination is too powerful and making the stuff described in those tweets seem better than they probably are.
Yeah i asked dave on twitter about it..a fucking controller..
Hasn't Idtech 5 been used in more games than Idtech 3 and 4?
Did they have a sofa on stage I wonder.
Probably an altered id Tech 5, to give the engine a clean slate "name"
Steam Controller?

pip pip cheerio you slags!
That's the big question. If it's a whole new engine, then I'm happy. If it's id tech 5, well, at least I know the gunplay will be amazing. TBH I'm not at all surprised there is an engine change.

It sounds like they at least have some freaky atmospheric sections like those caves. I thought DOOM 3 was awesome from what I played of it, but I can't begrudge the series going back to its roots either.
Who said it won't have great gameplay and level design as well as gore. You're jumping the gun a bit is all dude. Wait for some more solid info before getting on the hate train.
And *shrugs* I like Brutal Doom more than base Doom. I'm glad this is where Doom is going.
Wow, that's pretty weird.
Read the polygon article. Has exactly what you mentioned in the former from the sounds of it.

So why exactly don't they want to show this to the rest of us? Someone was bound to have camera phoned it.
