Fuck yeah. Absolutely loved the first 2, absolutely gonna love this. Time for another Eternal playthrough
The first 2? You don’t mean Doom and Doom 2, do you? Fuck, I’m old.
I actually meant Doom: The Board Game and the Doom movie starring Dwayne Johnson
SEMPER FI! MOTHER FUCKER! -Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
🤘
I’d venture to say that ID has not yet released a bad DOOM game, however they did almost make Call of DOOM. Under Microsoft’s leadership I’d say they’re at risk of making the worst DOOM game ever, but we’ll have to wait and see
Once it started showing off the shield, it stopped looking like Doom and started looking like a first-person Rygar game.
I liked the gun that crushes up and shoots skulls tho. That’s metal as fuck. But God damn do I wish they would truly go back to the roots of Doom with the labrynthine map design instead of the linear arenas.
Something that I think doom 2016 and doom eternal failed spectacularly in for me is enemy counts. I wanna open a closet and be greeted by 40 revenants, 30 Chaingunners and 30 Barons. Gimme that Plutonia experience.
Have you tried nuts.wad?
I have! Nuts, Nuts2 and Nuts3
And no monster piñatas. And no trap rooms. And no pointless upgrades. And no nausea-inducing jumping puzzles.
Classic doom, pretty graphics, crazy weapons, new monsters, and steal music from 90s hard rock and heavy metal again.
And no nausea-inducing jumping puzzles
I take it you’re not a Rise of the Triad fan. 😆
They’ll bury you in a lunch box!

You’d probably like Prodeus, it’s certainly scratched that itch for me.
Awesome!
Was expecting this to be Xbox/PC exclusive but looks like it’s getting a PS5 release too.
wasn’t being crossplatform one of the things Microsoft promised during all its buying up of the games industry?
It thought those pledges were just for Activison / blizzard stuff. The Bethesda purchase was before regulators started taking an interest. The new Indiana Jones is an Xbox exclusive Bethesda game for example.
Any chance for Heretic/Hexen easter eggs?
Looks like we’re finally able to use the mech!
Coming to Nintendo Switch - 2028
That skull crushing weapon is so satisfying to watch.
Judging from the trailer it looks like we will see more open arenas. Good to see they won’t try to make a repeat of Eternal and instead try new ideas. Looking forward to see how it plays out.
Speaking of not repeating Eternal, I didn’t see the chainsaw or any colorful pickups dropping from enemies, which is nice.
Technically the shield is a chainsaw
Looks fucking sick
Edit: sick as in awesome
Looks like we need him again.
Meh. I was really hoping they’d go back to the sci-fi aesthetic of 2016 but instead they’ve doubled down on the weird high fantasy with guns thing.
It’s like they actually wanted to reboot Heretic/Hexen but they couldn’t get the license for it so they’ve just shoehorned it into Doom instead.
Damn, rebooted Heretic or Hexen would be cool as hell.
Amid Evil totally scratched that itch, plus it’s a huge game so there’s hours of quality content too.
Isn’t that basically Dusk?
Yeah, I kind of agree. I wish they’d make a new Quake or something, Doom is cool and all but this barely resembles it. Eternal was fun, but too goofy and campy, Doom 2016 did it perfectly.
Sorry it’s not going in the direction you hoped. I’m personally super into this vibe. Feels bizarre and different. Hopefully they capitalize on the theme and do something cool with it. If the “dragon” flight part is as tight and fun as recent Doom mechanics, it could be really fun.
Agreed. I am not a fantasy fan for games really at all (with very few exceptions) but this looks so rad. The combination of tech and fantasy looks like a wild ride.
I cast non-magic missile
sure, go ahead and remake hexen but pretend its doom to appease the copyright overlords
To me it feels like they’re leaning into more of a Quake 1 aesthetic, which I really like.
Funnily enough I never really liked that the quake sequels doubled down on the sci-fi so hard.
Yeah i really prefer the lovecraft aesthetic of Quake 1 over the tech, body horror of the sequels. Science coming into contact with something that defies science and reason is one of my favorite genres of fiction. The Myst, Event Horizon, Doom (especially Doom 3,) and the newest Rimworld dlc all really scratch that itch of coming into contact with something outside of reality, outside of reason and understanding. Really wish for more of that.
Yeah honestly Eternal should’ve been a Quake reboot using the new engine rather than a Doom sequel. Everything about it felt like Quake.
Looks like more doom which is all right in my book. Now If they can keep out the always online and live service bullshit out of this one and focus on single player it might turn out to be yet another good doom game. Not sure about the dragon and mecha though, I would rather not have any vehicles, mounts and anything like that in Doom games.
Ooooof I’m fuckin in.
I trust ID to make a fun game, I do not trust Microsoft however so we’ll see how hands off they’ve been. Hopefully it was too far along for Microsoft to meddle with anything.
Probably gonna have a season pass and battle royale mode
Doom 2016 and Eternal had multiplayer season stuff, but it could easily be ignored.
