Doom Eternal - March 20!

Spukc

always chasing the next thrill
Nevermind that controller! Not sure how someone can look at a free copy of Doom 64 ported to PC and next gen consoles as a bad thing!

The controller is ok tbh.
I use an svideo + framemeister but i can for the life of me make n64 games not look like smeared vomit.

Meanwhile the ps1 looks amazing 🤣

Well for one.
The video output on the n64 is ASS

Absolutely horrid. Not to mention, 30fps, with massive dips on the last level too.

Even the old PC ports /emulators I've played run at 60fps on an old laptop, not to mention higher resolution.

OMG I missed the part that Doom 64 get a delay as well.
At least was confirmed for PS4 and Xbox.
 
The beginning of next year is stacked. It's gonna be really busy. Also, Switch version not releasing at the same time is disappointing.

There is a certain irony that they announce the game is being delayed 4 months while simultaneously announcing that invasions will now be added post launch.

You can tell this game needs a delay or 2.

Too many games this year anyway.

Uh, 2019 might be the first year in the history gaming without a single game I'd be interested in buying.

It's fucking disgusting that this game is getting delayed that long and still WON'T have coop, by the way.

Doom games without coop. What a fucking joke.

You guys say some weird stuff "what's a Doom game without co-op" and "what's a Doom game without deathmatch?" I grew up on Doom, got it first for SNES, then PC then Doom ll, did the discs full of level packs as well. I always played by myself, never online. The game was amazing that way, didn't need this other crap.

What kind of s video cable?

The funny thing is, the framemeister isn't that great. It has lag and produces serious noise in solid colors. For the price, its absolute garbage.

N64 on a crt looks pristine. N64 on my retrotink 2 and sony fald looks pretty decent.

Ps1 lacks n64s analytical edge AA / texture filtering and has serious dithering anytime particles/shadows are on screen. It is less blurry, but messier.

The only thing disgusting is your whiny attitude.

It's just a video game. Get a fucking grip.

Close to Last of us 2, FF7 remake and Cyberpunk 2077

But on the other hand, the delay does avoid having to face the mighty Shenmue 3 in November.
 
I don't understand the Doom 64 anticipation when it emulates so well. I've been playing it for years in HD and a high framerate.

Eternal went from a buy to rent/sale for me. That's just absolutely insane to put it next to all those games.
My hype for eternal died once i experienced project brutality 3.0
On countless wads like back to saturn x, dark moon, valiant, knee deep in zdoom i could go on... And on

Death Stranding
The Last of Us 2
Cyberpunk 2077
FF7 remake
Ghosts of Tsushima
ff7 is not interesting to me,
Cyberpunk 2077 still MIGHT be terrible
Tsushima will be great, Last of Us 2 is questionable so far but still probably worth buying.
New Doom looks like a "wat for a deal"
YEP - Too many games! In 360/ps3 2005-2012 there were more worthwhile games each month I feel.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
iconmaster iconmaster While this news is genuinely terrible I'M BACK IN THE GAME DAWG

We're 5 points apart, it all comes down to Shenmue 3 + Dreams being better than Pokémon and Call of Duty. It's gonna be close.

oh well. guess i'm not playing it until towards the end of 2020. far too many games i'll be playing. instead of a day 1 full price purchase i'll pick it up dirt cheap whenever i have the time for it.

Oh yeah, things got exciting again. I suspect we both have a low-80s and a high-80s there. Down to the wire!

I wonder now how many types of bombs there would.
Oooohhhh hohoho I hope a acid bomb which it will show us how much skeleton a demon can get after it fall dead.
ID games were never about gimmick items and any sort of gameplay complexity.
They are good at having 7-9 good guns and make them feel good. Simplicity and feeling good was always the strength of that studio
 
These poor souls trying with their little games, TLOU pushed to May, Doom and others etc. When in the end all it matters next year till new Gen launches is............



CyberPunk 2077...holla atcha boi 😁🤭😆
 
This sucks. I was really looking forward to getting Doom Eternal in November. Oh well. One less game I have to worry about ponying up the money for next month. My wallet will be happy with it being pushed back. Lol. I’m STILL pissed that GameStop cancelled my pre-order of the Collector’s Edition with no warning. Oh well. Fuck ‘em.

any chance of regular pvp now?
Sadly, no. It makes me sad/mad too. 2016's MP had potential but it had an identity crisis and was mishandled.

I hoped id would take that core idea, make it better, and polish it. But it didn't happen. :(

Instead we're getting the asymmetrical Battle Mode, and awhile back when it was first being talked about Marty mentioned if you wanted fast paced arena shooter DM to play Quake Champions. Which bummed me out considering that game was mishandled as well and has basically been dead and neglected for a long time.

Having a DOOM game with no death match just feels odd...

In 2019 it would've been. In 2020? lol not a fucking chance.
A candidate? Of course it will be! After all the praise of the 2016 game. Has a lot to live up to.

Will it be GOTY? That's the part where I'm like, "Maaaan, I love DOOM, but I really don't know. There's a TON of hardcore competition in 2020."
