Linguica Posted May 13, 2016 A new Doom game was released today. It is called "Doom." In it you once again play as the Doomguy and you shoot a large number of monsters. Early reports are that it is fun. You can read about it at the official website or pick it up for PC or consoles. 0 Share this post Link to post
kmxexii Posted May 13, 2016 congratulations, id. i can't imagine what the long and torturous dev process was that brought this to release, but i'm sure it will be an interesting read, and on the eventuality that i pick this up i'm sure i'll have fun playing it. 0 Share this post Link to post

dew Posted May 13, 2016 Sounds like one of those ree-boots Hollywood is fond of. Hopefully it's better than most of them! 0 Share this post Link to post

HavoX Posted May 13, 2016 I'll bet John Carmack and John Romero would both be proud. But no one can ever replace them, nor replicate their greatness. NO ONE. Naked Snake said:That's the joke. </Ranier Wolfcastle> Oh, hi. How's life treating you? 0 Share this post Link to post
Walter confetti Posted May 13, 2016 Yeah! Too bad my pc isn't powerful enough for this new chapter... 0 Share this post Link to post
Optimus Posted May 13, 2016 It turns to be better than I expected so far. It plays really well, runs smoothly at 60fps on my PC, there are some gimmicks like glory kills I am not used to yet, but it seems very fun to play. Of course I won't compare it with classic Doom. Maybe you can't mimic classic Doom anymore or that's not the purpose anymore for modern titles. I believe I'll finish it and then forget and go back to classic Doom or Brutal Doom and play tons of WAD. 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted May 14, 2016 It takes forever to download Doom. I wonder if simply buying it from the brick-and-mortar store (if even available) would have been quicker.princetontiger said:I feel like there was more pomp and circumstance for Doom 3. Yeah, because Doom 3 was a far bigger leap from Doom 2 than Doom (2016) from Doom 3. I also think Doom 3's announcement was a surprise (for me it surely was; I thought the Doom series had been retired and forgotten). This thread shows plentifully how lukewarm the reaction is. I hope I'll be able to enjoy it once it finishes downloading and installing. 0 Share this post Link to post

That's an interesting thought. I haven't bought a physical box copy of a pc game in a long time since Steam came on the scene. I get the feeling you would be buying a box with a digital code inside. Or a CD that would fit only a portion of the game with the rest having to download. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted May 15, 2016 Yeah, nevermind that. 55GB is too much for optical media... And optical media is seriously getting obsolete. And there's no equivalent read-only physical media, so the only way these days to get software is by downloading... which allows disk space abuses like 55GB to happen (I feel sorry for those people with monthly data limits). 0 Share this post Link to post
