i'm really curious to see what doom 4 turns out to be, but my guess is "a hot mess"

 

[Vintage]

Seriously wtf. Was Doom 4 even officially announced?

 

[F0rneus]

Holy shit. Wait, why does a Doom game need a beta??????

oh crap. Its online multiplayer nonsense isn't it?

The day a Doom comes out without classic Doom DM, then it's no Doom at all. That game created multiplayer FPS!

 

[SolidSnakex]

 

[MYE]

Make that red foil and thats a good ass cover

 

[Silky]

So how much CoD do you think they'll force into this game?

>It has no online play.
>It has a weapon wheel.
>It has health pickups (very limited health regen.)
>Non-linear map design.
>From the gameplay I've seen it doesn't even have ADS

Hell it has dual-wielding for god's sake. It's not a CoD clone. There's info on the game out, it's not like it's scarce to find what the game is about.

Holy shit. Wait, why does a Doom game need a beta??????

oh crap. Its online multiplayer nonsense isn't it?

Every DOOM title has had a very good MP service. This isn't new?

 

[Gammacide]

Doom 4?? I'm all in. That said, not enough to buy the new Wolfenstein...unless it turns out REALLY excellent.

 

[Dictator93]

Beta for a single player game? nah.

I mean, I know doom basically invented DM... but a beta for a doom game's multiplayer?!

uh-oh, I smell some horrible horrible DM being introduced in the next doom.

>It has no online play.
>It has a weapon wheel.
>It has health pickups (very limited health regen.)
>Non-linear map design.

holy fuck yes. also, lol owned.

 

[Levyne]

What a boring boxart

 

[scitek]

Wolfenstein will likely be the superior game.

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Still wondering how this will turn out, whether it'll be a buy or rent for me. Looks interesting. DOOM beta, also? Huh.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Like the box art minus the doom 4 label.

Not really sold on the gameplay though.

 

[Dawg]

Hope the campaign is fairly lengthy since multiplayer's missing.

Length is something I am curious about as well. I really enjoyed the story we got to see during the preview though. A lot of cool stuff as well.

 

[murgo]

That trailer was refreshingly awesome! I'm glad they're concentrating on Singleplayer only. Can't wait to kick some Nazi ass again.

 

[codhand]

Wolfenstein will likely be the superior game.

always was.

 

[Magnus]

Oh shit. Missed the announcement about a new Doom altogether.

 

[Silky]

Wolfenstein will likely be the superior game.

In the end it has to be this way

 

[skybald]

Doom 4 info is the bigger news here. Was planning on getting Wolfenstein anyway

 

[Lord of Castamere]

Is this the first time that a beta has been announced for a game before we've ever even seen what that game looks like?

Nah Ea did it with Battlefield and Ubisoft with Ghost recon.

 

[Backfoggen]

What a boring boxart

Yeah man, not enough orange and blue on it

I love it. Trailer looks great too. Bethesda is bringing it with The Evil Within and this in 2014.

 

[vilmer_]

Wait..............

Doom 4 is still a go??

 

[Skab]

Should probably make a new thread for the new trailer, or its just going to get buried and no one will see it. (Like the Dark Souls 2 TGS trailer that was amazing and no one saw it.)

 

[Dictator93]

always was.

If you mean RTCW/doom 3 era? then probably yeah. Doom 1 and 2 beat the pants off of Wolfenstein/spear though IMO.

 

[shinobi602]

Oh shit. Missed the announcement about a new Doom altogether.

It's been in development hell for quite a bit now, I'm both excited and nervous lol.

 

[Totobeni]

They apparently started on a new version of Doom 4 around summer 2013:

wonder if this new version of Doom run on Void Engine or id-tech5.

 

[Levyne]

Damn, going to have to sift through all the new news when I have a chance at work. I am excited for both games!

 

[def sim]

Oh, right, Wolfenstein. I hope it's alright. The DOOM 4 beta is intriguing, but I know nothing about it.

 

[redhood56]

I do like that Bethesda causally announced this " Oh yeah and the DOOM beta is coming out soon"

 

[jett]

Announcement of a Doom 4 beta before Doom 4 is announced? lulz

 

[Diablo Rosso]

Seems like it.

The PS3 one looks fantastic.

 

[Skab]

If you mean RTCW/doom 3 era? then probably yeah. Doom 1 and 2 beat the pants off of Wolfenstein/spear though IMO.

Wolf '09 was great too.

 

[boeso]

Looks like a fun little romp.

On a side note, I'm so glad the Nazi's didn't win the war.

 

[shinobi602]

Length is something I am curious about as well. I really enjoyed the story we got to see during the preview though. A lot of cool stuff as well.

Yea, to be real though, I really don't see this selling that much. Though it's coming in May, might be a perfect time for it.

 

[MYE]

Every DOOM title has had a very good MP service. This isn't new?

Announcing a Beta for a franchise known for its single player campaigns without showing any footage or anything SP at all... well, it doesn't bode well :/

 

[Rickenslacker]

I just have no hope for Doom 4 doing the name any sort of justice so I don't share the blind enthusiasm some have over a beta for it.

 

[poros1ty]

pre-order going up on steam soon I hope?

 

[scitek]

That's an awesome trailer.

 

[Cragvis]

Should have gone old style...pre order and get the DOOM 4 SHAREWARE version...luls

 

[Loudninja]

Umm that trailer was awesome!

 

[Sn4ke_911]

Pretty cool trailer and woah Doom 4 is coming.

 

[Daria]

Ooooowee, that trailer looks great. I'm really looking forward to this, I don't think this will disappoint.

 

[mnannola]

Is there any info on Doom 4 besides this? I haven't seen a screenshot or anything on it in years.

 

[Silky]

Announcing a Beta for a franchise known for its single player campaigns without showing any footage or anything SP at all... well, it doesn't bode well :/

Honestly I'd argue that the MP component of DOOM is more well known than DOOM's SP in regards to the PC community, both are good in their own rights tho.

At the same time Carmack's probably not even working on this (I'm actually predicting that Machinegames is doing DOOM 4 with Carmack's blessing.) so your expectations should be lowwwwwwwww

 

[OneUh8]

wow... Love me some Doom

 

[T.O.P]

wait what

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

Well, it's SP only.. so I hope there's no CoD at all.

>It has no online play.

I was referring to Doom 4. I already knew that Wolfenstein will be a retro-inspired bomba.

Gameplay trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKXIcclBjE0

That's the most wicked awesome, hype-inducing trailer I've seen this year. Or last. Take note, RAD!

 

[Milennia]

Well im interested, if not just out of pure curiosity, may buy,

 

[DeweyChat]

We had thought it was called Doom 4, but today Bethesda referenced it only as Doom, so perhaps it's a reboot of sorts.

Doom 3 already was a reboot.... no ?
