That ending too man. LOL. Game looks like it's going to be rough on decent difficulties.
except no one will ever see the game played that well or at that high of a resolution at that FPS. You'd have plenty of casual players crying foul wondering why their game doesn't look that good or why they can't play like that. You aim for the demo and market you want to sell to. Enthusiasts are a lot cause because they will judge whether or not they want to jump in. They aren't sellable in the same way larger crowds are and would be a waste of resources to throw money at them.
The principle stands: Have a skilled player showing off the game. No need for that Titan X and 200FPS, just the good, effective player is enough.
I certainly prefer seeing a skilled player playing a game and thinking "Man, i hope i get that good someday" than seeing lame slow-ass crap they usually show.
I thought the game was running at 60FPS on consoles as well. All this was showing was Mouse and keyboard gameplay.
for a heat trailer you don't need anything more to show off the base of gameplay and the visuals. Most viewers won't pick up on the skill involved from something like that. It's a purely aesthetic choice that works more often than not.
This game is gonna be awesome. Don't understand the hate for it much at all, yeah it plays a bit different than the original Doom games. With the verticality and speed, this to me looks like exactly the kind of Doom game we would have got in the late-90's if id hadn't shifted focus to the Quake series, but with a few modern trappings like upgradable perks, glory kills, and small interaction animations/setpiece moments thrown in for good measure.
Sold.

Ehm up until now all the videos shown about the singleplayer looked NOTHING like this
Slow movement, endless QTEs and the gameplay looking like it was played on xanax was what has been shown until now. And it looked NOTHING like doom or quake
This video looks pretty good, the previous ones didn't. People can only judge what they are shown.

Are the levels more like the original games just with arenas added on? Some others that have gotten it early have said that is basically what the game is instead of linear hallways leading to arenas.
Keep in mind that you can't have that movement speed right off the bat. That player has speed upgrades / runes:
"This gameplay at 120 FOV - with the player's personal upgrades and rune perks set for advanced speed and movement capabilities", added Stratton.
What do you mean bad?
Also, Rage or Wolfenstein?
On R9 390, i had zero problems with the latter (never played the former) and 390 is about comparable to 970 IIRC.
They should've called this game Quake V.
Wolfenstein ran horribly on my rig
Probably the worst performances i've ever got in a game, i had huge dps drops even with everything on medium settings, i tried everything at the time to make it run decently with no luck
Odd. I wonder if other 970 users had problems or if your CPU-memory-GPU config just didn't work for the game.
I would expect Doom to be better running overall though. 970 should support Vulkan API so that should help if nothing else.

Should go up soon. I hope so because we have about 5 Doom related threads :/
Oh, I thought the OT rules were more than 24 hours prior release. Ouch!

I'm ready!
Gonna enjoy the sun a bit first, though.
You sure? If it unlocks at midnight then we've 1:10 to go. Unless my time zone settings are messed up and I'm reading the time stamp of your post incorrectly.
Edit: Oops, AEST. I guess I'll sleep then.

From the little I played so far, yes.
NZ is the same. It's generally lumped in with AU as far as region-specific unlocks on Steam are concerned, as is the case with Doom.

Wasn't really planning on getting this because I hate Bethesda (I know they're just publishing it) and I thought the E3 stuff looked like shit and the trailers aren't doing anything for me either.. BUT that nvidia video actually makes it look pretty alright so I caved in and just ordered the collectors edition.
I hope I"m not going to regret it. I"m a big fan of Doom I and II and I really want this to be good.

I like to pretend like it doesn't exist.
I've been listening to the original soundtrack a lot lately. So good
Brings back so many memories of playing through all of the levels with my dad when I was a kid.

I really like the level design of this game! it has big locations with lots of layers and secrets:
You fight with enemies from everywhere with amazing music and your adrenaline goes really high.
Its gameplay is really good and and I love controls and shooting so much. graphics are amazing too. it has some frame drops, but most of the time its solid and its very beautiful too.
And I should say, WOW at Hell music!
I think most of Doom fans will be happy with this game. expect those who only want scary moments from Doom. its not scary at all, but it has soul of classic Dooms and you should try it!

That is all good stuff to read.
I am pretty hyped for the game now. A lot of negativity has been circling it (I never got round to trying the beta even though I had downloaded it) but the single player is what I care about.

Pretty much.
My bank account is crying between this, Stellaris and No Man's Sky next month. And I'm still trying to save up money for a Vive..
Lol
Doom 64 is great. Feels like the perfect sequel to PSX Doom with it's similar atmospheric soundtrack and classic gameplay.
Can't complain about what I've heard from the single player campaign so far. Love how the dynamic soundtrack works.
