Registered 14 years agoYeah, for all the crap he took later for Dikatana, Romero and his team designed the absolute shit out of Dooms. The Double Fine series on it was a really good watch:

It looks like they are on the right track, but I was really hoping the level design would be a bit less linear looking than what they showed. It looks like huge fun to play, but the pacing seemed no different to the approaches took by The New Order or Bulletstorm. It just doesn't look different enough. Generic even.

I thought Doom 3 did that quite well, but it was a completely different experience to what Doom 1 and 2 provided me back in the day. Having a quick glance at the gameplay vid, I'm really pleased with the direction they're taking it - it just looks fun as hell, no pun intended.
New stuff looks good. I actually really liked the approach of Doom 3 though, and it was incredibly tense. I do like the look of it being more open, but I hope it retains a bit of the atmosphere of 3. This looks a bit more run and gun and a bit less hide and shit yourself.
In an era where story-based point A to B FPS level design is swamping the industry, I really feel a return to Doom 1/2 style looping map design would have helped it stand out more, plus be more fun to boot. Think what Dark Souls did, but on a much smaller scale map-by-map basis.
I'm really not sold on the gimmicky looking melee finishers either.

Registered 17 years agoFor me what they have shown off was a big cup of meh with a side order of meh topped meh biscuits.
I loved Doom back in the day but I think they would have to do something really special to revive it at this point. -

Yeah I do agree about the level design, I guess I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that the full game will include more interesting level design.

I haven't seen any comments about the sound design - I watched at work so no sound unfortunately, how is it? When I think of Doom the sounds are the most powerful memory, everything from the monsters to the weapons to the sound of a door opening is iconic. -

Registered 11 years agoPlasma gun sounded alright. Monsters sounded fairly generic I thought.
But it was the sluggishness/movement that styck out for me.
I was hoping for something more like the l4d speed/intensity -

Usually in agreement with her but barring illegal acts... isn't it kind of up to the person themselves to decide what they choose to spend their entertainment time on?

This level of extreme violence shouldn’t be considered normal. It's not an excuse to say it’s expected because DOOM. That’s the problem #BE3

For me the gore was just a bit dull. It's like the prerelease 'hype' of AvPR when the directors just focused on the saying that it's back to being an R rated film through its graphic violence. -

Registered 9 years agoMost of her comments seem to be negating the freedoms of others, from what I've seen. Really a massive annoyance, but this isn't the time or place to have that discussion.
I thought the new Doom looked like a lot of fun. Obviously it'll speed up, once somebody with proper aiming abilities gets behind the weapon. -

Registered 15 years agoI enjoyed the whole Doom experience, I don't play a lot of Doom like games so I cant say that I am jaded by the generic-isms of elements of the design.
I loved the map making tool set also, I am going to have a lot of fun with that! -

She doesn't. I don't see an epxlicit statement there to forbid others to make or play these games though. She's disgusted, she voices her disgust, that's fine. She looks for "an excuse" that isn't needed, but who cares?

She does have a point really, but it doesn't stop me feeling like it looks awesome. It depends whether her problem is with the fact that it exists at all, or that most people paying attention to the footage will not even bat an eyelid at the violence. Seems to be the latter, which I do think is an interesting observation - gaming as a community accepts this as normal, as she says, and that is slightly weird.

Registered 15 years agoNeither things are exactly issues though, are they? She's just trying to be edgy and controversial so that people will bandwagon with her.
Or does she go out of her way for every single violent movie, comic book, music lyric or whatever else media you want that is similarly themed? -

I agree with a lot of her points regarding gender diversity and representation in games, but the old gore debate is a waste of time here just like it was back then because of the lack of one crucial point: context.
Eviscerating innocents, especially children, in gory detail, by all means "ban this filth" with aplomb. But demon giblets?
In a world where we see lions tear their prey apart in nature documentaries, or where it's deemed educational for Jamie Oliver to show kids ACTUAL REAL-LIFE animals being slaughtered, then I think it's a sign of full bore insanity to criticise fake computer-generated fantasy creatures being torn apart.
The rights or wrongs of gore itself is a nothing argument.
