Shadow Warrior proved that we can have the best of both worlds. Old and new school combined into an awesome dance of violence and mutilation of demonic forces. If DooM can do something similar it will be rewarded with my attention and curiosity. If not, I guess I'll just keep playing Shadow Warrior. I can't get tired of it.Ohlookit said:
Of sorts? It was a straight up reboot. Heck, the story wasn't even all that similar, aside from the basic elements, which is kind of impressive given how little story Doom started with.SupahGamuh said:
Oh look. It's another shitty pre-rendered cinematic trailer with a shitty update to a classic enemy design, showing us absolutely nothing about the actual game. I really wish companies would stop wasting peoples time with this shit and just fuck off until they had an actual game to show people.
First off, Doom had no scary horror levels. There were some that had slower parts, but it was all still a balls to the wall action game 99% of the time. There was no attempt at horror being made aside from a few mediocre jump scares here and there, and even those weren't really trying hard to be scary.hakkarin said:
Second, the idea that a game can't be "just a great game" is utter bullshit. Some of the best games I've played in recent years have had story as a near after thought. Certainly they didn't put any effort into making them very good. Sometimes a game is more than strong enough in it's own right, and throwing in any more story than "here's who you are, here's who you're trying to kill or what you're trying to do," is just adding unnecessary bits to the experience. Not every game needs to have a story to be good, but I can think of plenty of games where a hell of a lot of time was wasted on a story that should have just been spent on making the actual game more fun rather than both being mediocre.
I didn't play Doom or Doom 2 when they were big, so my first real contact with the series was Doom 3. For this reason, I may have this wrong, but I'd always figured Doom 3 was sort of a reboot of Doom to begin with. I guess I'd like to see more classic FPS games (and they have had a bit of a renaissance lately), but I dunno whether it has to be Doom of all things that gets a reboot when in my understanding it already got one. And then an HD makeover version. I'd love to see an HD Descent game, but I guess the franchise's name isn't nearly as well-known or influential as Doom.
ok either i want a true to the classic fast paced shooter where i dont have to aim since no matter where i turn there will be something to hit and little to no story to get in the way of the carnage and puzzles with plenty of secret rooms. Or i will want a massive story driven open world romp through mars and hell kinda like fallout 3 in space and with demons and rpg elements that will let me clear entire floors of dungeons in seconds plus craft my own weapons like a new bfg.
btw if its basically just a remake of doom 3 i will be pissed, that game took all the spirit of doom 3 and killed it just to add a horror element that wasnt ever really part of the old games

Being an 80s child, I was eventually exposed to Doom during its free-distribution shareware days when I was I think nine. This tends to be one of my favored FPS, the one that everyone remembers even after all the Halo and Duke Nukem you've got. (I like the Duke too.) Funnily enough, I also like the books and the movie. Anyway, having secured BFG Edition to link the old with the new, I do not believe I need a new Doom at this time.
Glad we have some Doom news, it's been long enough I feel, but this trailer looks a little worryingly brown... you remember how much a flop RAGE was, don't make the same mistakes again...
I really hope they look at the Brutal Doom mod for inspiration, because the thought of playing that, but with modern graphics and animations would be a truly spectacular sight to see.
