Doom 4 E3 reveal.

Kinda excited for Doom 4, maybe it's nostalgia from being able to clearly remember downloading the shareware version of Doom 1 at age 12 the day it came out in 1993 on a 28.8k dial-up connection and being completely blown away. I enjoyed Doom 3 for what it was (on the single player side).

I'm also one of those that thing Q3A and Rocket Arena 3 are still the pinnacle of DM and 1v1 arena games.

Agree 100%. (only I was 16) Someone I knew also managed to get an alpha version of it before that, which was a lot different. Very cool, and we couldn't believe what we were seeing when we started it up.
 
Well at least its looking pretty, assuming these aren't bullshots...

The angles on the two that I can see kind of hide most of the foreground, so it may not be quite as extreme in motion. The other images won't load from here, so I'd have to look later.
 
Seems like usually DOF only comes into play when you're doing a cutscene auto-kill or an enemy grabs you or something like that.
 
That weeny announcer voice :yuck:

Looks potentially fun, but it will be an instant fail on PC if they have no plans for dedicated community servers, a server browser and a decent player count (32 minimum).
 
Unreal Tournament is going to eat this game for breakfast as far as MP Arena shooters are concerned. Also, what's up with that shitty announcer voice? Surly you can do better than that Bethesda?.....Right?


I want "Quaaaad Damage" in a deep manly voice. Not "Quad Damage" from luke in accountings voice.

Damn you!

I would rather have the Pornstar orgasm's from UT'99 when you selected the female announcer voice in the options menu.

If that weren't possible, I would always take Morgan Freeman.

Not a chance, UT lacks any direction and is essentially the exact same game as the one nobody plays anymore.

Nobody play and Doom look much better than the new UT.

But I wonder if Doom will get a lot of player since arena shooter appear to be unpopular.

Not only that but the MP shooter market is pretty saturated. Part of Wolfenstein's charm (New Order and Old Blood) was the dedication to SP campaigns, for better or worse.

Absolutely agree. Wolfenstein New Order's campaign was super fucking fun. Great characters, music, weapons, levels... was really great overall. I personally don't care for multiplayer games much anyway.
 
Is this MP going to be more like Q3 or Halo? If it's going to be like Q3 I'm on notice.....
 
I can't help but to think the MP looks more like Q3 to me than anything.. with all the bouncing around and warping and stuff... I mean, Q3 but with Doom elements... I'm holding my breath a bit. I'm a HUGE Doom fan so I hope at least the SP captures the essence that made Doom so good.. For all of the action, there was a lot of time just creeping around in dark areas with flickering lights, solving puzzles, then having a wall drop and tons of baddies swarm... the atmosphere of Doom is really what made it great for me..

From the video I've seen, I'm pretty sure we're having a much more sophisticated Doom now.
 
Doom Beta info. The blog post is quite lengthy. I just posted the new specs that are higher than the Alpha recommended specs. ;)

That's what I was thinking also. I was hoping that someone else noticed that!
 
it's actually $53.99 to preorder this on PS4 if you have PSPlus. Quite surprised by this.

I don't get it. Is there a problem with 1280x720 minimum / 1920x1080 recommend specs?

I'm definitely going to play this one, probably.

I'm with xorbe on this one. Why alienate anyone from playing/purchasing the game? I would imagine that the goal of a game dev would be to make money, correct?

I played the closed alpha and enjoyed it, so I can't wait for it to come out! Just my 2 cents.
 
Does this game have single player CoOp ? Be cool to play the storyline game with my Bro.

And as for multiplayer, please tell me it has CTF with the grappling hook ?
 
Looks neat, but almost too "clean" and perfect as it were. Seems a lot more like UT then quake or even Q3 arena. Hard to put my finger on it. Maybe with some atmospherics in it would look better. Dont get me wrong it looks fun but the pristineness of it all is weird to me.
 
I agree with you a bit in some of the more industrial looking areas. The science(y) areas SHOULD look pristine aside from blood everywhere.
 
True, but even those still look too perfect to me. As if the blood was just spattered there (aside from the active combat stuff), no dry edges or coagulation to it, or even signs of a struggle. /shrug.
 
Anyone playing the beta? Whats the deal with dedicated servers, server browser and player counts?
 
refraxion said:
That bad? How does it compare to Q3A?
Click to expand...

It doesn't compare at all....just imagine a Doom themed mod for Halo or CoD, topped off with matchmaking and no server browser.

Movement is slow and floaty, especially with the double jump mechanic.
You gain experience and level up, and unlock perks.
You automatically mantle at ledges.
There are class load outs with no weapon pickups, except for supers.
Player cap is limited to 6v6, at least for team death match.
Graphics looks significantly worse than all the official screenshots.
Graphic options are very limited, no FOV slider or support for widescreens.
As usual, the matchmaking is shit.

I don't expect MP to have any longevity on PC.

So an extreme case of consolitis in this one. Disappointing, but not unexpected.
