Nobody Wanna Talk About Doom Eternal?

How is this such a toxic subject? The success of DOOM 2016?

Boy oh boy... I think y'all need to realize that these days success in gaming means you can hold a playerbase. Players flock from one game to another on a weekly basis, and it usually coincides with (big) content updates for the games in question. If players return, that means they are still interested in the franchise and that usually leads up to a sequel.

Player counts online fluctuate per game all the time. I've seen it happen for half a decade now. And its logical, because people like to do different things from time to time. The hardcore groups of players that dedicate themselves to a single game are far less prominent / much smaller these days.

Well, they're not making money from retaining players. But like I said, it's a modest success even as a one time type of purchase. It's not a failure, but not in the top tier of games that do 10 million+ sales. I think it cost around $60 million, so at over 3.6 million sales (in 2016 alone), it already made up for that.

Not everyone can be Activision/Blizzard or something. They're on the tier on top of the top tier.. up there with Nintendo.

I hope they got rid of the "run into a room, stuff spawns, kill stuff run to next room, repeat" loop. I really liked how the old Doom and Quake had their gameplay setup where the enemies were waiting to ambush you.. The new doom 2016 became insanely repetitive after you punched the 900th randomly spawning thing in the face.

Also wish they made a new Quake. Always liked the art/style/music more with those titles.

That console movement is very janky at best, IMO FPS never really suited to play with controller, plus the guy who played it is terrible. But it does show some things like extra life

Agreed, not a fan of arena shooter. It gets boring fast. The video looks more open than the last game so hoping they improved. Would love to explore entire map for secrets after killing all the enemy, in 2016 especially later stages you can't go back looking for secrets. The glory kill too isn't as much fun as the first few, I just used it to conserve ammo or to avoid getting hit by other demon.

I accept DOOM for what it is - a classic FPS, with an emphasis od the S, with one caveat. I wish it could have been a bit more like DOOM 3 or possibly Quake 4, i.e. with a storyline.
Either way, I have to be in the right mood to play it.

Same -- but I just played through Quake 2 and Unreal: Return to Napali man... I really forgot how fun those games were.

The number of enemies changes but they are all placed intelligently around the map, so beating the game is like solving a puzzle. The artwork, the level design, the easter eggs, the whole experience is top notch. If you crank the difficulty the enemies don't just become massive bullet sponges (ahem Far Cry New Dawn), there's just more of them and they hit you harder. You can run through the levels guns blazing or take your time and lob nades around every corner because you have 24 health and don't want to die. Sometimes you have to backtrack to get the objective, or pick up that powerup you passed up before.

Even though it's just a mindless FPS, progressing through the levels is fun. If they re-released the old DOOM and DOOM II levels with DOOM 2016 style graphics I would play the crap out of them. IIRC i read that the engine makes you use the spawn points, and there is a limited number of enemies that can be on the map at any given time.

A few more weeks to go until the big release.

Those who want to avoid all spoilers for Eternal should steer clear of the video above altogether (though Doom isn't exactly known for its story).

Watch this: Doom Eternal's first 10 minutes revealed in gory, 60 FPS gameplay clip

We've already seen quite a bit of Doom Eternal gameplay from id Software, but now, IGN has rolled out some additional footage for players to drool over....

Did Nintendo take over the franchise? Looks like a Mario makeover, fancy colors and all

 

[Lionheart]

Looks like more mindless violence & fun to me, I'll pick it up on sale. Doom 3 with mods & Brutal Doom are my favs for sure.

 

[MrGRiMv25]

My wallet is literally sat open waiting for it to be launched, might even upgrade my graphics card at the same time since it will probably die a little trying to render it all. Can't wait to trundle through heaven this time blasting anti-daemons.

1000fps

1000fps

Now that is what I wanted to hear. Id tech 6 was fast, but id tech 7 looks even faster.

As much as Google translate works, TPU asks for English (US or UK). Forum policy, thanks.

Maybe something is wrong with me, but I cant tell what is going on. It just looks like a lot of stuff happening at once and too much for me to process. Guys everywhere of all types (The UN of monsters) and some are shooting at others or each other, and then you grapple then punch them and they explode. City is filled with broken buildings and buildings of fleshy mess, etc.

I'm scared.

Exactly that, except at the end "I am bored".

Something about his game that it just so incredibly boring.
I played the 2016 Doom. It is enough. There is nothing that this one brings to be different than the last one.
So much happening on the screen, infinite of waves of bad guys. It really is mindless. I know at times this can be just what the doctor ordered...we will just have to see

I'll be rubbish at it because I just dont have the reflexes but I'll definitely get it. At least it should run nicely on my system. Yay....I can see nice things over and over as I die in the same place a bazillion times.
