I like the new Doom. Cyberdemon looks a bit cartoony. Don't like it when trailer guys make the big enemy SCREAM AT YOU FOR A FEW SECONDS. It's become a cliché now.

I lost count of how many E3 trailers ended with an enemy and the player going in to attack eachother and then right when they collide, instantly cut to game's name

Even though Mad Max: Fury Road was set in a wasteland, it managed to have a reasonably varied color palate (plus being the best, most relentless action film ever made helps). It's art direction is certainly on another level compared to the Doom reboot. I haven't seen anything as outrageous/audacious as a Fury Road's badass bungee-cord flaming guitar guy.

I maintain that this:
Looks better than this:

As much as I agree that the Cacodemon should be red, I don't think the bright colors would come across the same. Doom seems to take the fast paced action from Classic Doom, and the horror styled map design from Doom 3, adding in the bright colors would contrast that too much. I think it looks great, and I can't wait to play it... whenever I get a next gen console... or a better freakin' computer.

I noticed something on my latest viewing of the footage. In the first part, the UAC facility level, when he puts on his helmet and double jumps onto the catwalk.
If you look closely, the player actually goes in one giant circle several time. There is a building in the middle with the super shotgun, the player starts off by walking to the right, fighting the first set of enemies, walking around, going into a room, leaving it, and is now back in front of the super shotgun building. After the player leaves this room by going up the stairs, the catwalks are actually just above the first combat encounter.
Theoretically, you could jump onto crates and get onto this catwalk, bypassing the whole first half of that footage.

I don't know if you're being critic. But retro players would regard this as a gem of non-linear 90s level design.

Just something I noticed and thought interesting, it was less linear than initially though; there was also a few other areas the player could've gone that looked like alternate paths, unless they just lead to deadends.
I don't want to put out that I hate this game, I actually do enjoy the whole picture so far, I'm just nitpicking as hell.

[OpenMaw]

That's assuming they didn't bugger it to fucking Hell with invisible walls, which modern FPS developers are want to do so much of the time.


My only real beef thus far is that, again, they fuck up the classic shotgun. I don't even mean the way it handles.

Put some wood grain on that shit, mother fuckers. I know, I know! "Sci fi setting, it needs to be a futuristic shotgun."


Fine... But you're breaking my heart!

If these maps were created with Snapmap – which would make sense – then that's probably not the case.

Looking eons better than DooM 3, but a full 12 years worth? Hm...

This screenshot in particular is rather underwhelming, imho. The resolution of the textures and plastic-y looking rendering(one of the primary complaints about its predecessor), make it hard to be as excited as I want to. They've announced that the game will run at 1080p60 across all platforms, so this probably accounts for some of the graphical sacrifices. In all probability there will be user-made texture packs as well as other tweaks akin to "DooM 3: Absolute HD" that will help redeem the PC version. But I will admit that even now, it looks way more enticing in motion - which is pretty much all that matters.

It's just Brutal Doom 3. Fuck Bethesda and id Software.

Fairly recently. SergeantMkIV released v2.0.

Wow. Awesome graphics mod. Spectacular post-processing. AAA-quality shit right there. I'd give that an 8.8; where can I download?

[LkMax]

Someone needs to turn it into a mod, just like Call of Doom. Might be a more efficient way to ridicularize the modern trend of desaturating video-game graphics trying to get that pseudo-realism.

Post-processing effects make me horny, but not all of them.

Why game devs take screenshots of their games at high resolution without any Anisotropic filtering is beyond me. Makes the textures look like blurry, plastic-y shit regardless of resolution.

The lack of good anisotropic filtering in computer gaming is exactly the reason why the uncanny valley will never be crossed.

Honestly, it's yet another thing to blame on the "consoles first, PC second" mentality. Consoles have been bottlenecking graphics progress for years.

Look at it this way; at least it isn't touched up to the point where it doesn't represent the final product by a mile. Look at any recent Ubisoft game. They aren't bad in terms of graphics on their own, but compared to their ridiculous bullshots, they look downgraded to hell.

I thought Watch_Dogs looked pretty great, but I haven't seen the E3 previews.

You need a beefy GPU, though. On Medium it looks very 2008.

Edit: Regarding the DOOM Beta

[HulkNukem]

Beta will be exclusive to whoever pre ordered TNO and entered their code in time and they have to also be at Quakecon.
IE about 10 people will be able to play the beta.

[DukeNukem64]

Which code? I never got any code. This sucks..

[HulkNukem]

If you bought a digital copy, it automatically entered you in for that platform (PS4, XBO, PC) if you bought a physical copy, it came with a code with instructions on how to enter it
