New Doom The Dark Ages gameplay was revealed at quake con...behind close doors

[Consistent-Money-990]

Allegedly ID had just revealed new footage of the dark ages bts at quakecon. If that's true, I am massively disappointed. I was really looking forward for some new footage of the dark ages. Looks like we won't get anything new related to the dark ages for quite a while.

 

 

 

Spoiler

If anyone has recorded footage of the game shown off at this years quakecon plss leak the footage!

 

[Zemini]

Still fresh in my mind

 

New demon torso on top of arachontron like legs.  It reminded me of that boss from Dark Souls

There are shielded soldiers now, and their shields glow when they block

Mancubi get constantly abused by the slayer through a entire new level of breakable demons.  I felt kinda bad for them.  They are also much bigger this time.

Slayer pilots the atlan on the "mars looking level" and can punch those big thralls into bits or by a are a massive chaingun.  He also destroys parts of the buildings as well.

Being on a dragon, you can fire at demons AND spaceship like enemies.

There was a brief shot of the arachnorb, it fired out blue/green plasma.  Not sure if this is a proto cacodemon or something else.

The imps are larger and beefier.

There were hell knights with weapons wearing armor.  Couldn't make it out the weapon, but it seemed like a hell knight version of the armored baron.  He took a more shots than a normal hell knight to bring down.

There are glory like kills, but instead of glowing the monsters have a purple halo around their bodies.

 

Also, tons of new melee attacks and kill shots that i cant keep track off.

 

Also dozens of enemies on screen, mostly made up of fodder, but you can see bigger ones in the distance.

 

If i can think of more, ill post it here.

 

I am also sad that this wasn't for everyone.  I would LOVE to watch it again and again and again.  They said they will show more Soon, but that could mean anything.

 

EDIT:  Weapons,  there is what appears to be a double barrel plasma rifle

 

Hell Knights still bleed red, which is obviously a minor nit pick.

holy crap! that's awesome that you got to see it early unlike us poor sobs. thanks Soo much for sharing the details. Also how was the new soundtrack like? whoever is doing the ost this time around I sure hope they're cooking. 

[Zemini]

I do not remember the music sorry, just too much eye candy overloading my senses.  In short, it looks very VERY good.

nah you good. the fact that this game alone is looking to be goty 2025 material is making me really hyped up! I heard there is a possibility they may show more footage at gamescom this year. lets hope that. 

[Zemini]

I also mentioned a double plasma rifle, but htere was gameplay showing the slayer with a single cannon plasma like gun.  So likely an upgrade.

Interesting note on the purple halo. Were the "glory-like kills" similar to the melee attacks in the reveal trailer (like when he finished off that mounted demon) or were they more in the flashy style of 2016/Eternal's glory kills? Also, unironically was there any jumping during the gameplay?

Can you describe the HUD design?

EDIT: Okay I just read it's more similar to classic Doom

Edited August 9 by DoomRevolver

[Terrcraft]

seems to be more located at the center of the screen then corners based on what I've heard

Is it an improvement over eternals UI? One thing I was really disappointed and dissatisfied with eternals UI is that it was minimalistic and too flashy. Hopefully this one is less of that and more straight forward. And hopefully ID doesn’t start changing the UI for TDA’s for random ass reasons lol.

To this day i'm still salty about this

 

 

And now they're doing it again >:(

 

Hopefully we'll get something more public soon

Is the new system of destructible demons a purely visual thing or does it affect the gameplay? For example, is it possible to shoot off a mancubus's leg and make it fall? If it's something like that, that's very cool.

The fact that the whole damn showing of doom 2016 from quake con 2014 is lost media makes me sad :(

 

maybe someday the footage will somehow be recovered…

"a flail that returns ammo"

 

Oh thank god. I don't mind them doing something a little bit different for this game but it's good to hear that the whole "melee weapon gives ammo" thing is still present to some capacity. That mechanic feels so convenient and is too much of a no-brainer at this point.

[Eurisko]

I thought they’d get a look. I watched the Quake Con intro segment and they hinted as such.

I for one, am excited! This feels like a fresh approach to a new idea, and I'm all for it.

So i am. I never spit on high quality FPS.

[whatup876]

The green projectiles being reflectable makes me wonder about the overall enemy roster and what certain projectiles will look like.

Because one thing is fireballs or rockets or lasers, another is whether or not we'll have acid pools like the Cybermanc's attack.

It reminds me of an idea i once had for enemies in Doom to have colors as feedback for their attacks.

Like orange being "basic", green being acid, blue being energy, purple being movement related, red being explosive etc.

And even split the system into "effects" (the colors i mentioned above) and "deliveries" (size of a fireball, its speed, whether or not it falls in an arc, if it bounces back, laser beams, how many fireballs, if it's a thing on the floor etc)

 

i once compared the shield saw to the Razor Wind from Turok 2 but it being attached to bigger enemies reminds me of the Cerebral Bore.

it also means it'll fill a role similar to the ice grenade from DE or even the syphon grenade from 2016, maybe.

 

The mention of a demon with quad legs reminds me of those custom monsters that were Cybies/Barons with SMM legs.

I always assumed it was the same footage they showed at E3 2015. At least the Foundry part. I remember it matching up with the descriptions of the Quakecon footage

The second gameplay shown according to eyewitnesses was the argent facility, if I believe the sources I found on the Web, and in the strings of the game files.

It's allegedly a mishmash of sections from what would become Argent Facility and VEGA Processing. Sadly, outside of the seconds of footage provided by the NoClip documentary of Doom 2016, the rest of the footage is lost to time..

Yes i did, and that background there was one of the many concept arts we saw before the demonstration.

Did nobody record the footage or something I search for it and can't find a thing as well. Damn that fuckin sucks.

It was more of a demonstration that shows off mechanics with in game narration and the words "Pre-Alpha" printed in the corner.  The slayer played more like a tourist that showcased the new stuff.  It was not like the gameplay beats we saw at E3 2015 or QC 2018. 

 

Hugo said we will see more "Very very soon".  What that means could be anything but there isn't anything really slated till TGA which isn't very very soon but four months away.  I am kinda sad.  Gamescon is over a week away but from what i can tell, iD is not going to be there.
