LANEGRACABRA Posted February 14, 2015 Keeping my fingers crossed for a satisfying gore system. What GoatLord and Caffeine said about it sounded good, though. With all the tech nowadays, a dynamic gore system should be a big priority in FPS like DOOM.

DooM_RO Posted February 14, 2015 Mogul said:I'm worried about the game's look and feel. I don't expect that the game will be as amazing to look at as either DOOM 3 or Rage (blurry closeup textures notwithstanding, in reference to Rage's beauty). Kenneth Scott is long-gone from id and I have no idea who their new art director is, but unless they hired someone specifically to adopt Scott's style, I expect the game's characters, armor, weapons, and architecture to look quite different from anything we've seen from id for ~15 years. And to be honest, that saddens me. I have faith that it will still be really good, but I'm HUGELY partial to Kenneth Scott's design sense. That guy will be extremely hard to replace. I'm curious to see where they go, but I'm not expecting Kenneth Scott level. Sad. All in all, I expect that it will be a fun game, and I hope they take the design to a place that actualizes something uniquely DOOM, yet not something we've seen from them. Hugo Martin is the new art director. The guy who helped make Pacific Rim. 0 Share this post Link to post
LANEGRACABRA Posted February 14, 2015 DooM_RO said:Why not both? One of the staples of Doom is variety in all things which is why a lot of people thought Doom 3 was lacking. I agree there should be variety. I thought it was silly that even in Hell DOOM3 kept that corridor crawling up. 0 Share this post Link to post

There was one character design in particular that gave me the sense that he could make a similar contribution to the DOOM universe to what Kenneth Scott was able to do. I'm cautiously optimistic. @shaviro Thanks. And yeah, I think the biggest obstacle for mod teams interested in id Tech 5 is the insane amount of art they have to create to map onto the world. It's hard enough for modders to ship ~AAA results without having to hand-detail every single part of the world. Granted, the big picture of Rage is stunningly beautiful. In that macro sense, it might be my favorite-looking game ever. I don't know if the results are worth basically sacrificing any reasonable hope for a mod team campaign, though. We'll see what id has in store, though. I'm sure at either E3 or Quakecon, we'll learn a lot more. 0 Share this post Link to post

It's very unique and very disturbing. People have also praised the art style shown at Quakecon. I'd say that from an artistic POV Doom 4 is in good hands.

Cupboard Posted February 17, 2015 co-op mode, FFS. non-linear infighting just so many monsters on screen at one time, just too many not too much melee combat at all If they are going to emulate Doom 3 at all, they should emulate the Lost Mission expansion pack basically anything that was an integral part of RAGE should be scrapped as an evolutionary dead-end 0 Share this post Link to post

Pinchy Posted February 21, 2015 So instead of the next Doom game having state of the art gaming tech like the others it's going to be chained by console limitations. The worst console generation ever, where at release an average PC is still 2 years ahead hardware wise. Console quality everything, the chance of proper modding tools like Doombuilder are thin. Might just be another forgettable, awkward release like Wolfenstein. No modding community will make it dead in a month. I don't really expect to get anything worthwhile from the industry these days, even if it has the iD Software name tacked on to it. 0 Share this post Link to post
LANEGRACABRA Posted February 21, 2015 Sorry if I'm going to sound more stupid than usual, but the DOOM site says "2015" in the lower copyright text. Didn't the site launch in 2014 ? Does it just refer to the site being updated? 0 Share this post Link to post

ChickenOrBeef Posted February 23, 2015 Mogul said: The new DOOM will be way less about atmosphere than DOOM 3, and instead will focus on expanding what's possible through gameplay that's unique to DOOM's identity. This means melee combat and insane finishing moves that are gratuitously gory, like Brutal DOOM or the DOOM comic. They've hinted at this this, so that's what I'm expecting, predictably enough. This is what I'm expecting as well. We know iD had a bunch of meetings to establish what "Doom" means. They probably thought about how Doom is unique, and how they can amplify and evolve that uniqueness to put out an game that sticks out in the current shooter market. And of course, what comes to mind is the brutality, the power, and the fast pace. The open level design is very important as well, but I think iD will emphasize those other aspects to really grab attention. And I think they're trying to do that via a dynamic gore system, a new melee system, an exo-suit that allows for greater movement, and some old-school gameplay mechanics like no reloading, seamless item pickups, faster movement, etc. Cutting edge visuals are synonymous with Doom as well, so that would help. 0 Share this post Link to post
snapshot Posted February 25, 2015 Most thing i hate in FPS Games is killing ,Killing and killing all The way to finish a level ,I don't want enemies to be randomly placed in levels i Want the levels to be well Designed and the Enemies to appear in the Right place and at the Right time for some Action,Suspense and horror (Monsters hiding in darkness,Appearing from nowhere ...etc) 0 Share this post Link to post

GoatLord said there were some scary, moody sections in the Doom 4 demo, but still plenty of fast-paced action set in larger environments. So it seems to be on the right track. 0 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted February 25, 2015 It should also be noted that it was explicitly stated that combat would be the focus of the reveal. This is reassuring, not only because the combat was absolutely stellar, but because those other elements we cherish so much--interesting layouts, moody lighting, strategic enemy/item placement, extreme contrasts and demonic imagery--will probably be shown at a later date, most likely this year's QuakeCon. The demo was, in many ways, so true to what Doom represents, that I would argue that most of the other idiosyncrasies I mentioned were present, even if only briefly. I really feel like the positive reaction from the reveal gave id an ego boost, the kind that a troubled company whose flagship franchise has been suffering from identity crisis has so sorely needed. There seems to be a genuine desire to let the fans know that id didn't sell out, while simultaneously suggesting that a series as straightforwardly run-and-gun as Doom has room for growth. It was obvious from the reveal that they had learned from the gameplay issues that ultimately left Doom 3 imbalanced. 0 Share this post Link to post
