Holy fucking shit that bookcase is going to kill me with laughter. Every subsequent title is an even deeper pull that I wasn't expecting.

Those three lore blurbs make my small iron become the big iron.

Exactly! It's an entire shelf of cross-universe Easter Eggs!!! I absolutely love it. 

[HorrorMovieRei]

Bethesda better make that plastic Caco an actual physical thing you can buy

[thewormofautumn]

What the actual.....

Well I'll be damned, the leaks this guy mentioned were true. This was over 4 months ago, but this fortress thing and the armor in the screenshot were hinted at with these leaks on Reddit about 4 months back.

That Soulsphere looks weird but i'll keep it.

I like the Sandy's City bit and what might as well be a reference to the cancelled Prey 2.

Wasn't that Daisy painting someone's fanart?

Nah, at least one of the videos out there shows a ghost of "King Novik" talking to Doomguy and saying all those trailer lines that the video tries to claim have to do with the marauder.

This is just pure brilliance end to end.

 

From left to right, I think the references are:

• Fallout
• Fallout again
• Prey
• Doom Episode 4
• The Doom Bible / Tom Hall's original notes
• id Software's mascot the Dope Fish
• the Doom Novels
• Quake 2
• Rage / rage 2
• Wolfenstien 2
• Deus Ex series (number 1 specifically, I think)
• Half-Life
• System Shock
• Unreal Tournament
• Devil Daggers
• Duke Nukem
• Daikatana

[whatup876]

I don't recall any leak suggesting the real name of the king, right?

 

[Linguica]

Also the codex entry mentions "King Ormero the Father". Hmmm... "Ormero"... why does that sound so familiar...

This and Sigil's inclusion in the recent ports make me really appreciate Id Software's respect towards Romero, even if he's no longer at the company.

[whatup876]

I wonder if they'll modernize the evil eye prop because of that.

[chemo]

Also, the fact that The Betrayer has a shoulder cannon and armblade like the Slayer makes me wonder if he's going to be an unlockable skin or the player character in one of the DLCs.

his armor and design in general looks pretty damn badass

System Shock II (the Von Braun is the ship most of the game takes place in) and Duke Nukem II (Why I'm So Great is the book he's being interviewed about in the intro of that game), specifically.

 

They should have added an Easter egg from the Post-Terran Mining Corporation, though.

[BabyGiggles]

It's official, the Doom Slayer (or Doom Guy) is a boomer confirmed!

[DuckReconMajor]

I am just now learning about the AnyKey keyboard. I wonder if anyone ever used those diagonal arrows instead of just remapping them.

[BBQgiraffe]

the Doom1 easteregg makes me wonder if the people of earth learned of the Doom Slayer and there version of Id made Doom

[B-Dawg]

Great bookcase, Dork Norkem, thats one doomed author. Also love that the game isn't even out and Doomguy already has a lair with his old suit inside it. Great stuff!

[D88M3R]

Some nice stuff in there.

[seed]

Groovy findings, I'm loving the "Into Sandy's City" easter egg, reminds me an awful lot of Skeletonwitch's logo:

 

[FortressOfDoom]

Love doomguy's reflection in the helmet when he picks up a powerup. Nitpicking but I *wish* they could move the reflection just a tad up to show a hint of a 😈 smile on the bottom half of his face.

I'm glad someone else noticed. Based on this, I imagine the other vinyls found within the game will also feature references to various metal bands.

[Mattzs]

Sorry if this has been said before, but the press info seems to confirm that the Wraiths/Makyrs are Fallen Angels.

Their origin sounds eerily similar to a version of the Story of the Watchers from the Book of Enoch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watcher_(angel)

Angelic beings cast out from the Heavens, Land on “Earth”, create a race of giants (Nephilim; Titans in Doom?), and intermingle with mankind.

[Yourfacedotcom]

If that book is hinting that a possible Prey 2 is in the works I'm going to very pleased.

Little demon collectibles this time it seems? That is fucking adorable!

 

[Knee Deep In The Fan]

Saw this from @TwoJoe on Twitter. Nice Tony Hawk reference. https://twitter.com/TwoJoee/status/1219795595596042241

[Lykanthrope]

If anyone needed anymore proof how fucking metal this game is going to be

[Hunting4r2d2]

(Yes, that's a revenant missile locked on the player).
