By the way, did you take pictures of quakecon? I just saw this photo from one guy:

Are there any more photos like these?

This is the first we see of the Skullcrusher as far as "pickup/profile" imagery goes.

[Cadaverized]

Looks like it's a handgun? Cuz it's short. 

What's the weapon on the left? 

And why is there no full picture from this artwork in the background? 

Would have posed the shit out of this if I had been there XD

Wait, so this is the new Ui, fuckin sucks that there's no videos to go with it, WHHYHHYYYYY. fucking kill meeeeeeeeee.... I wanna Dasiy the rabbit myself

Yeah like i've said before. Doom 2016's gameplay showing at quakecon 2014 seems to be lost to time. And I feel the same fate will happen with Doom The Dark Ages gameplay showcase at quakecon 2024.

Also interesting. She even got a saw shield shirt with the mark of the slayer. A shame u can't get the cap via bethesda store. Speaking of that there's a new tarot style shirt showing the slayer with the flail and shield and something on his back/shoulder.

There are only similar ones. But you better go to Linkedin and look at the id software employees, maybe there are more additional materials there

To this day i'm still salty about this

 

 

And now they're doing it again >:(

 

Hopefully we'll get something more public soon

I've been going to Quakecon since 2009 and this is still my favorite and most memorable moment. The energy in that room from us in the audience while it was being shown was unimageable. Doom was finally back and all of us just lost our minds at what we were seeing. I didn't get to see TDA footage because I didn't arrive until the next day, but frankly I'm not that too miffed about it, because I know it could never compare to what we experienced in that room that day.

bro got to see a piece of doom 2016 lost media. wow.

Guys, it turns out we saw that new   halo/circle indicator of glory kills in the reveal trailer. Maybe they changed the color before the showcase?

[Quasar]

There really was not that much new in terms of mechanics or monsters shown off, it was more a matter of the scale of the game being more fully revealed. The gameplay reveal portion took the Slayer into a seemingly vast area that just had demons crawling out of every crevice and dotted around the landscape. This was way bigger and more open than anything from 2016 or Eternal. They said more will come soon as far as outlining the monsters that are in the game so I'm looking forward to that.

[Cadaverized]

 

She did another video with even more stuff to be hyped af

[P_A_Z]

I will waiting to see more gameplay but i'm almost sure that The Dark Ages will be very good. I am totally hyped.

[Cadaverized]

Equipment Launcher 1.0?

hmmm. grenades have returned then? wonder if custom skins will return as well 

[Cadaverized]

It's still hard to make out what it actually is but it looks like some kind of gun to me. Or it could be the mace he puts on his back? 

[Zemini]

The larger spider like demon I remember seeing was probably the Dark Ages version of the Vagary.  Why didnt anyone else point that out?  She is back!

 

It also could be a quake Vore

 

[whatup876]

Wasn't that said to be a cybernetic demon?

Though no other detailed was mentioned, like the upper half: did it have horns for example?

I knew it ! Seeing as how you were comparing it to that spider boss lady I thought it couldn’t be a coincidence . If it is indeed the Vagary, I’m hyped to see the rest. Could you share any other notable details about her design ? Does she have a large abdomen ?

I really just remember the slayer blowing off chunks to show case the new and improved gore system.  I only saw the front of her or him.  It also gave me some Quelagg vibes.

I wonder if the AI behavior will change if you damage them? For example, the Baron of Hell will become progressively weaker with each shot and you will have to tactically use the new demon destruction system. If this system works something like this, then boss battles will be very cool.

[Zemini]

well the AI did change for many demons in Doom Eternal.  One would assume that is even more so with TDA.

[Consistent-Money-990]

I am still in denial that this game is real and was actually shown off. 2025 doesn’t seem like a real year. There’s no way a Doom game is coming out next year. 

[UserPlayer89]

I don't have much of an opinion on TDA so far because there's not much to go off of but I really hope their serious about the older games influencing the design of this one this time around

Well, in Eternal, the destruction of demons was a purely aesthetic thing, but in TDA, demons will not only change their visuals, but also, depending on damage or the number of shots, change their behavior dynamically

I have to wonder about the revamped gore system, is it comparable to say, Dead Island 2's?:

Basically, in this game, instead of opting for a limited number of predetermined "gore zones" like many other titles (including DOOM Eternal), there are multiple, fully-modeled layers of flesh and bone that can be carved through completely dynamically, and you can even dismember limbs of "living" (for a lack of a better term) enemies to weaken their attack methods.

 

I hope so because ever since I saw DI2's "F.L.E.S.H. System" in action, my dream was for id Software to create a similar gore system in a new DOOM game.

I love DI2s flesh system and if they were inspired by it to amp up the gore in their game that’s even better. Can they surpass DI2 in terms of gore ? Who knows but that’s one aspect of the games I have high expectations for. 

 

[Man of Doom]

So just a heads-up that if you were expecting to see any more footage from Gamescom:

It appears those hopes have been kiboshed.

 

 

This will likely be yet another Doom 2016 situation where nothing gets shown for approximately another year.

I’m expecting nothing to get shown in this timeframe, not even during The Game Awards in December.
