YESSSS I AM READY!

Holy shit at 1:15 when that fat demon in the back gets gibbed all that's left is the spinal column and ribcage with chunks of meat attached hahaha

Architecture is much better this time around. There were a few impressive vistas in DOOM 2016, but this is a big improvement. I love the mobility and arcade-like pace of the game. They could've made it worse by getting all "realistic" but it seems like they made it even more frenetic. I can't believe they somehow amped up compared to DOOM 2016.

Getting some Quake / Unreal vibes from the story trailer.

I wonder if there will be randomized/roguelike elements or modes. Seems like the perfect opportunity to expand upon the various challenge modes from the previous game.

I also like the return of classic cyberdemon.

 

[Evilms]

in 2 minutes doom slaps Halo infinite

He really saved this show.

 

[EviLore]

Doom Eternal looks awesome, day one.

 

[Petrae]

I’m in on this. Wow.

 

[Griffon]

That was the best yet.

Already pre-ordered. Can't come soon enough.

 

[Orta]

Looked as crazy as last years demo. Day one for me, and a pc upgrade if needs be.

 

[tkscz]

 

[Mista]

Beautiful work Musky. When there's DOOM, there's me. DAY ONE!

 

[DanielsM]

There's a story?

 

[MastAndo]

This engine is remarkable.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Eh, not so sure about making a whole story about battling heaven and hell around Doomslayer. They might make the same mistake that the Riddick movie sequel did, overcomplicate things and kinda diminish the protagonist.

 

[Evilms]

 

[Orenji Neko]

Ooooh! We get to carve our demon turkeys with a chainsaw just in time for Thanksgiving!

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

In lieu of a proper Quake, I'm happy to see id flex its sci-fi muscles a bit more. They managed to include a ton of story and lore in DOOM 2016 yet I never once felt it was pushed in my face.

 

[Tesseract]

it looks like a nonathletic mess

we'll see, looks dope tho

Agree, architecture looks like a mix of doom, quake and champions, lots of tall imposing alien locations, medieval stuff, should have a nice exploration aspect..more adventurey than space station + hell.

 

[alife]

Anyone notice during the demonstration of Battlemode how the announcer at the end says, "Final round. Fight!" and it sounds very similar to the one in the Mortal Kombat games? And during one of the employee montages, there was a Kitana cosplayer and another employee wore a Scorpion mask. Doom Slayer as a DLC character for MK 11?

 

[Brazen]

I'm gonna rip and tear some demons along with the turkey this year.

 

[JimiNutz]

Game of the show for me.

I'm almost tempted by the cat helmet but my Master Chief helmet is still stored in the attic and there are only so many cat helmets that a man can buy.

RIP & TEAR!!!!

Edit: Fuck, my girl has convinced me that the cat needs a new helmet. Am I really gonna drop 200 on another fucking helmet lol

 

[CyberPanda]

 

[Ulysses 31]

Don't see no Switch collector's edition anywhere! >.>

 

[Nikana]

Collectors edition pre ordered!

I can't fucking wait

 

[strange headache]

I'm here to watch silly E3 presentations and kick some ass... and I'm all out of E3 presentations!

 

[Ulysses 31]

In lieu of a proper Quake, I'm happy to see id flex its sci-fi muscles a bit more. They managed to include a ton of story and lore in DOOM 2016 yet I never once felt it was pushed in my face.

And I hope they keep it that way, no nonsense about prophecies, legends myths about a savior of the universe foretold in ancients texts.

 

[Shifty]

Siiiiick! Looking fantastic. If Rage 2 is anything to go by, Doom + Mobility is going to be awesome.

And having recently played through Dark Messiah, I really appreciate the addition of big-ass super obvious contextual traps with which to slay demons.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I need new pants

 

[MiguelItUp]

I was looking forward to this over everything else. It saved their conference, and it was everything I wanted and more. Sat at my PC F5ing afterward until I was able to preorder the Collector's Edition. Cannot wait for Quakecon to see more. Show me some death match!

The classic Cyberdemon made me lose my ever living shit.

 

[tkscz]

I watch the gameplay video in 490p sense I"m getting the Switch version and all.

 

[LincolnSixEcho]

Loved 2016 Doom, definitely Day 1 on this!

 

[Ulysses 31]

The classic Cyberdemon made me lose my ever living shit.

Indeed, looked much better than the Diablo 3 reject of DOOM 2016!

 

[stickkidsam]

I AM READY TO SKULL FUCK SOME DEMONS WITH MY FIST AND THEN GRAPPLING HOOK TO VICTORY!!!

Now THAT was how you do a fuckin trailer, god DAMN!!

 

[Space Runaway]

Although I have minor reservations, it definitely looks fantastic. It's a shame I wont be able to play this one on PC as the new mechanics really scream for mouse aim.

Gonna be a nice way to close out this year.

 

[Nymphae]

Been waiting for this since the moment I finished the first one, I need more fucking Doom. Actually glad to hear there will be story expansions this time around.

 

[thelastword]

So glad DOOM is back and so popular again....Great job ID....Such a legendary FPS series deserves to thrive.....

 

[Andrew Evenstar]

bought the other doom day 1 because it looked like a badass game and was. this is day 1 no question.

 

[Ulysses 31]

Hopefully we won't have to wait months for the soundtrack thing time!

 

[Constant Flux]

This looks fucking AWESOME. I loved Doom 2016 and this looks even better. I am definitely getting that Collector’s Edition with the Slayer Helmet. November is going to be a jam-packed month for me. I better start saving my pennies or else I won’t be able to afford all of these games.

 

[Constant Flux]

I wonder when the Collector’s Edition is going on sale? It’s listed as not available on GameStop.com.

 

[Nymphae]

The only thing that sucks is that this is probably going to be full priced this time around, for whatever reason I was able to pick this up brand new at Walmart for $35 around the time it came out (I think), I thought it was weird to see a AAA game being sold so cheaply. And it even came with these controller decals too, which I didn't use, but it was cool to see additional items in a non-deluxe physical version, that was being sold at a discount. Also had the reverse cover which was kick ass.

 

[Constant Flux]

It deserves to be full priced.

 

[Jarbloko]

Finally... a videogame that plays and looks like...
a videogame
i love it.

 

[Arkage]

And I hope they keep it that way, no nonsense about prophecies, legends myths about a savior of the universe foretold in ancients texts.

If anything it sounds like Heaven is getting pissed at Doomguy for killing all the demons, which be an interesting situation if heavenly enemies started going after him a la Bayonetta.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I wonder when the Collector’s Edition is going on sale? It’s listed as not available on GameStop.com.

Maybe it's sold out? I know the preorders finally went up like 30-45 mins after the reveal. When I looked last night a few places already appeared to be sold out.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Obvious question here:

DOOM has a story? And LORE? LMAO

Still hype for day 1

 

[Constant Flux]

Maybe it's sold out? I know the preorders finally went up like 30-45 mins after the reveal. When I looked last night a few places already appeared to be sold out.

That really sucks. How could it sell out that quickly?

 

[Lukin1978]

Doom needs a story?

 

[#Phonepunk#]

GODDAMN THAT LOOKS GOOD!

i love the new cathedral looking levels. kind of makes me think of Quake! yeah im getting this on PC that's for sure.
