What's this supposed to mean exactly? CD Projekt demoed Witcher 3 with a controller for their stage demo, and that's PC first.
Running on a PC!

Apparently you had to check your phones etc at the door to get in.
Its not a big deal, I'm currently improving my strafe jumping with a controller so whilst it's not as good its perfectly serviceable. Much easier to demo with for sure.
Really looking forward to Doom. People sound hyped.
Good questions to ask. I remember id being one of the pioneers of graphic engines but after Doom 3 excellence they went one a spiral downwards. I really would love for id to take the lead again in graphical finest. We'll see...
That's not what people wanted overall from doom 3. They wanted more of the original experience, which is apparently what they are going for now. I don't thing there is anything bad about doom 3, but its not "doom". There are plenty of similar games to doom 3, but few, maybe none that are like doom to me
We get it, you don't like the brutal doom comparisons. What's wrong with lordships gore though?
Gore and good gameplay aren't mutually exclusive. It's quite difficult to properly demo sprawling maze levels with loads off secrets though.
...This doesn't bode well.
Oh, the dream is dead then :/
People at Quakecon are mostly PC gamers, and that gameplay video was just meant for them to see, so it's very weird to do a demonstration using a pad.
Pretty sure that didnt actually happen(the ovation). Would be the biggest moment in loserdom if it did.

I mean, they should have a general idea who their audience is... the same people that boo'd the mere mention of consoles.
I remain skeptical as well.

Did this thread really turn into "Why all the gore?" thread with Doom being the game up for discussion?
Oh Jeez.
Oh Jeez.

This sounds dope. And I loved doom 3
All in all I'm not looking forward to hyperbolic statements made by forum posters comparing this to the older titles while using that stupid "FPS: 1993 vs Today" image as some dumb bible for shortsighted FPS criticism. That's my nightmare when it comes to threads discussing this game, lol.
I'm very curious to see footage. It sounds nice right now.
Nostalgia completely aside, the gore was absolutely important. Enough to make it worth preserving.
I believe it, but saying most 1999 Q3 players were as well is silly platform war stuff that does not at all line up with history.

I think they expect a leak and did it on purpose; make the game footage a forbidden fruit and there's suddenly that much more hype when the footage leaks out.

What? No. IDt3 was everywhere during the day. IDT5? Rage, Wolfenstein, Evil Within and that's all.

Doom has always been over the top and slightly tongue in cheek. I don't really see what's so offensive about this. It's a little different from people hooting and hollering over something as self-serious as The Last of Us's E3-demo closing headshot.

Why? They love Id, they've payed to go to a convention. They are having fun, who cares if they applaud a video game? Any different than applauding a musician?
No.

Does no one else feel this is kinda like buying good press? Of course people who pay to go to QuakeCon are gonna give a new Doom a standing ovation. It'd be like showing Halo 5 at a Halo convention, "look at all the good impressions!"

This means nothing. Witcher 3 and Star Citizen were both demoed using a controller in their recent stage demos, and they're both PC games primarily.

surface level elements like GORE, demons, and big shotguns are not what made Doom great, but this is a demo for fanboys so showcasing the most obvious, overt elements is to be expected.
Hopefully there's a good game underneath its splashy exterior, and they didn't spend all their time on extraneous death animations

That and 1080/60 may be a little hint of wonders of doom (4)'s dev journey... or I'd tech 666's quirks
Of course though, the demo didn't demonstrate the speed that apparently will be in the game, so perhaps the purpose of the demo didn't require it
Someone will probably label you a hater now.

But Doom is not exactly the same type of game...
You don't know the general public for Quakecon. There always been hardcore pc gamers ever since Wolfenstein 3d. So it's weird to present a game with a controller and no wonder they got boo'ed when they mention consoles. Also it's doom.
They're not shooters and they weren't demoed to a pc centric audience. Witcher 3 especially.

Of course it is, but we are looking at twitters from gaming journalism! lol.
Yeah of course be skeptical, but honestly what they are describing sounds good and exciting to me.
Oh shit, that's right, this is Quakecon. Disregard my previous post. Thought it was just some journo event.
That community celebrated the reveal of Doom 3, but not the released game. Same with quake 4.

Okay, yeah it's a bit weird then. Perhaps it's because it was being played by someone on stage? Having a controller in this instance is easier perhaps.
No actually considering how much some of those same people complained about doom 3. Of those guys can give a mini review of what they thought, and they are happy, I'd take that as a sign that the demo is promising, but nothing else yet

Isn't Star Citizen exclusively PC?...
*fist bump*
never did play Ressurection though. gotta do that!
ahh...yeah, fair enough. the original Doom was actually the first game I ever saw played (shown to me in secret by my "cool uncle" when I was maybe six) but I don't think I actually played it until around the release of 3. which was definitely very inspired by Half-Life and not so much the earlier entries in the series. I suppose I was more able to appreciate it for what it was without any real conceptions about what it "should be."
it was also the first game I got for my first gaming-centric PC. i read the manual for days waiting for my computer to come in the mail. good times.

A video game developer?
Yes, because at the time Doom 3 was one of the most if not most amazing game in terms of graphics. Quake 4 promised to be more of the action that Doom 3 wasn't.
That tweet is a little misleading. Judging from other tweets/live blogs, that happened at the end of the demo, and after it ended the crowd gave it the standing ovation. It wasn't for that moment specifically, but for the whole demo.
