[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Rip and tear!

 

[kikkis]

BRB guys, I have to download this in order to watch it in 4k.

 

[TrippleA345]

Ps5.

 

[cebri.one]

Another one coming to PS5

 

[adamsapple]

Day fuckin 1.

 

[R3TRO]

Looks great

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

 

[SALMORE]

Awesome ! I'll be there day zero

 

[Xyphie]

Really hope they go back more towards the gameplay of Doom 2016.

 

[Ge Os]

Who's doing the soundtrack?
That's a huge deal for Doom.

 

[VAVA Mk2]

OMFG I am so fucking ready. Loved the last two. This looks amazing.

 

[N0S]

Really hope they go back more towards the gameplay of Doom 2016.

It looks more openworld with big hordes

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Eh…didn't like it as much as I hoped…but I said the same thing about Eternal and I was dead wrong.

 

[kikkis]

I think shield makes for a great mechanic in doom. Would help a ton on projectile based attacks from enemies and positioning from that.

 

[12Goblins]

Doom single handily keeping the fps genre alive, aside from witchfire

Can't wait

 

[BennyBlanco]

Looks absolutely amazing

 

[OmegaSupreme]

 

[Kataploom]

I gotta get back to Eternal to see if I can like it, it was cool until the resources management hit me, thing is that I didn't know the chainsaw just had a cooldown and could be kinda spammed so knowing that maybe I won't find the same issues.

 

[H-I-M]

Looking boring (I'm not into those Murican shooters style games) but it's coming on PS5 and that's a win.

Thank you Phil Spencer.

 

[The_hunter]

Day 1

 

[MagiusNecros]

Really hope they go back more towards the gameplay of Doom 2016.

Doesn't seem like your standard Doom game at all. The "cinematic origin story" bit sounds worrisome that it'll take you away from the core gameplay a lot.

Might be interesting if it functions like a expansive Single Player Horde Shooter.

Medieval war and Guns is a walking contradiction IMO.

 

[MrRibeye]

Gentlemen, this is fantastic

 

[StereoVsn]

That looked fairly interesting. Hopefully there will be some deep dives into this.

 

[Lucifers Beard]

 

[Luipadre]

No more fucking platforming and im in

 

[StereoVsn]

No more fucking platforming and im in

Seemed that thankfully that's not the focus anymore.

 

[Luipadre]

Seemed that thankfully that's not the focus anymore.

yeah i liked that

 

[Northeastmonk]

I like the shield. You should be able to run into any battlefield like Captain America.

 

[Braag]

More DOOM is always welcome.
I'm guessing no Mick Gordon, since that didn't sound at all like his stuff.

 

[NorthernSword]

This is my most anticipated game instantly. Ultra Nightmare Rip and Tear!

 

[nordique]

Fecking

Ready

 

[freemandos]

It looks good. And btw, and I can't say why, but I reminds me a bit of Painkiller.

 

[TheKratos]

These poor demons

 

[Kadve]

It looks good. And btw, and I can't say why, but I reminds me a bit of Painkiller.

Think its the "metal" art style and weird looking weapons. Though Personally it reminds me more of Necrovison. Especially the final parts of that game set in the demon world.

 

[TintoConCasera]

He has a gun that crushes skulls in order to shoot little skull pieces.

This barely looks like DOOM anymore, but whatever, I bet it'll be fun as hell to play.

 

[simpatico]

MS lacking the stones to make it Xbox exclusive on the console side. Looks cool though, if a bit underwhelming. Just new maps and weapons for the Eternal engine? I mean, day 1 over here, but still. The jump between Doom 2 to Doom 3 isn't here. Not even close.

I wonder if this started as Quake and someone at MS made them bring in the Doom branding. I'm betting this is the case based on art style.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Just new maps and weapons for the Eternal engine?

Hopefully they do something regarding the level design. Eternal was super fun to me but it was too linear most of the time.

I need to know more, a super-fast trailer is nice for the hype but I want to know more details.

 

[\m/etalStorm]

This looks fun! I just hope they get rid of jumping puzzles. Shield puzzles, alright.

 

[HeWhoWalks]

Hot damn! Let's go!

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I came.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Steam page is up

the epic cinematic origin story of the DOOM Slayer's rage

Lol, who cares? I just want to shoot stuff. The game seems to nail that aspect anyway, but I hope they don't put in all the cringe writting like they did with Eternal.

 

[drotahorror]

Medieval war and Guns is a walking contradiction IMO.

Sure but it's fun.

Look at Kingmakers. Looks fun af



But yeah Doom looks sick as always. Can't wait!

 

[MagiusNecros]

but I hope they don't put in all the cringe writting like they did with Eternal.

Pretty sure they are. Gonna be Doom Slayers origin story with the Primordial stuff. But we shall see. I hope it's more 2016 then Eternal.

If anything I hope they make the ammo economy not crap.

 

[DirtyBast8rd]

A yes for me.

 

[CartesianMan]

Looks good, really good

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Looks absolutely amazing

 

[Dacvak]

Man, the game looks fantastic, but that K-mart Mick Gordon music is an absolute bummer. I really wish they hadn't had a falling out.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Let me rip and tear the way I want, not that rock paper scissors bullshit from Eternal.

 

[DanielG165]

Don't see how Eternal's gameplay is anything like rock, paper, and scissors but I digress.

Dark Ages looks nuts, I'm definitely craving to boot up Eternal now after seeing it lol.
