Romero's released a new Doom map. E1M4b

Type IDCLEV14 to play.

[Jolteon]

Cool, I Don't have time to play it right now. But I will give it a try when I have the chance.

[MetHy]

It was really cool. Tons of walls opening and level reshaping along the way just how I like it!

Monster placement was good too, unlike his previous E1M8b where it was all over the place.

My main complain was that the level layout could have been a LOT more intuitive. A lot of it fell back on backtracking; finding section marked "4" after "3" was the worst.

Also when I found the 2nd blue sphere I had 193hp already...

[Mr. Tibbs]

Leaked unfinished Doom trailer.

[Jblade]

Huh.

Spoiler

So you're actually playing as THE Doomguy from either the first 2 or 3? The armour looked like it was placed in some kind of stone tablet. Alright, the story actually got vaguely interesting now.

[PsychoGoatee]

Bring on May 13th!! Lookin' good

(also will play Romero's new map soon!)

[MusicallyInspired]

Looks good!

[HulkNukem]

Not looking at that new trailer, I know I will play this game day one and I don't want any SP ruined
Also, be warned, the game itself has apparently been leaked, and people are putting spoilers online

[Lunick]

Not sure the numbers on the ground really fit in with Doom, still more fun than Tech Gone Bad though.

[NightFright]

Well,

Spoiler

you know how Hollywood likes to reuse and recycle set pieces or film all their New York-based action movies in Toronto, or how all aliens are little green men with enormous eyes? Obviously Doom decided to recycle a set piece from Half-Life to save money. And really, whether it's advanced alien civilizations or Hell, it's all the same anyway in the eyes of the gamer. So why bother changing it?

Oh, also

Spoiler

everything I just said is total bullshit.

This stream was great! This game looks awesome. The levels in particular look very fun to traverse, lots of areas to explore, jumping, secrets, and great combat, I'm happy~

[HulkNukem]

Without spoiling anything specific, how much new content was shown off?
New weapons? New demons? New levels?

We've seen most of these assets before in the brief teaser trailers, but seeing them play around for an hour gives you a much better feel for how the campaign will play. We see a few different areas, levels we haven't seen before. Looks badass

[Mr. Tibbs]

Youtube of the stream for those that don't want to visit Twitch.

[Bloodshot]

Here's the gamespot stream, footage is clearer

[Loke]

[MetHy]

Gee what a surprise.

And again, like in Shadow Warrior and Wolfenstein TNO, it looks pretty bad, mostly due to the lack of shading.

[Daedolon]

I still can't believe modern developers have absolutely no idea what shading means.

In DOOM's case the scale is completely fucked up, too.

[MetHy]

Well I guess they don't have sector or wall base shading systems, but they could always shade directly the textures, but that'd be asking to actually put some work into this.

Honestly I feel like they do this to make gamers feel like video games have come a long way, that the new one looks much better now, and it's almost like they make those "remakes" look bad to support that idea.

[HulkNukem]

Forget the shading, the textures aren't even aligned, hell half of them are flipped upside down!

You're basically describing exactly what's wrong with "AAA" video game companies.

[Jblade]

Looks pretty neat - I still think it's pretty cool that they've done this (and in Wolfenstein as well)

[MusicallyInspired]

No flashing lights either. I don't know if they just assumed that's what old early 90s games looked like or if that's what they're intentionally trying to seed into the player's subconscious (new is better).

[Merlijn]

It's just an easter egg - I think you guys are a bit too anal about it.

The footage from the SP campaign actually looks like it could be a lot of fun. I just think it's a shame that they completely dropped the atmospheric stuff from Doom 3.
I get why they went for a faster pace, but it the creepy atmosphere seems to be completely lost. Hell in particular looks bland as... well, hell.

[Striker]

EDIT: Never mind, realized I was beaten to the punch.

[Bloodshot]

Jesus christ I've never seen people complain about something like not having sector lighting in an easter egg.

Does the one in rage bother you guys too? They didn't have lighting there either.

[Daedolon]

Considering it has happened three times in a row without nobody lifting a single fucking finger even trying act like they care, I'll consider allowing myself to be at least a little bit disgusted by these big companies.

[HulkNukem]

Hey you guys should stop complaining about the easter egg imperfections!

I have nothing else to talk about because I'm not watching the SP footage and I thought it was funny the textures were upside down
