God damn this game looks gorgeous 0.0 Doom The Dark Ages may not have the greatest soundtrack out of the doom games (cough cough no Mick Gordon cough) BUT OH MY GOD, is this looking to be the DOOM game with the best art style and atmosphere! This game is gonna look like an art piece! Doom The Dark Ages may well be the very doom game that is remembered for having the best atmosphere and art style by many fans alike. They definitely took eternals criticism to heart Doom The Dark Ages has AURA! 3 Share this post Link to post

Modern Pinky has a bit of a hunch back and even some spikes/horns on it Maybe this new demon doesn't have the same chitin armor and looks more lizard like The modern Pinky also had a tail even if it looked different The 4 legs made me think of the D3 Pinky because it's the other 4 legged design of the Pinky Kinda like how the flying brain monster we saw in the trailer was compared to the Cacodemon for potentially having one eye but also being another potential brain Caco, like the D3 one which didn't have an eye (i also recall some people who saw the Quakecon footage saying the brain thing shot blue orbs) Even if it's not "a" Pinky, there could be relations since there's lore of demons being related. 2 Share this post Link to post

Also skin color and the fact that Pinky in Doom 3 and on concept arts by wayne Barlow for canceled doom 4 was quadrupedal. 2 Share this post Link to post

Idontevenknow2 Posted October 11 48 minutes ago, Beubeu said: Perhaps but it looks too big I wouldn’t dismiss it being a Pinky based solely on size. Mancubi are much larger and have a sickly sort of skin, Imps stand shoulder to shoulder with you and are far more menacing, Arachnotrons use hellish technology and have a sinister look to them. There are probably a lot more examples, but most of the demons haven’t been shown yet, and some, like the basic fodder demons use their DE models as placeholders (Maybe even the Hell Knights.) 2 Share this post Link to post

whatup876 Posted October 11 I hope this enemy has this system where: * if you kill the pinky, the archer jumps off and acts on his own * but if you kill the archer, the pinky is the one acting on their own Because this idea of an enemy that is "more than one" and one is independent if the other dies is like an upgrade from "destroy the Arachno's turret and it'll throw grenades more often" I assume there will be more enemies that will come of as "together" So if id says "there are X number of enemies" and people think there's actually less, it's because some enemies are essentially multiple types mixed together I also now remember FooSarr's idea of Gargoyles from DE carrying other enemies like Imps And i once thought of the UAC side of things where their equivalent would be Zombies using mechs/tanks/planes and you could either destroy the vehicle and see a zombie act on their own or the vehicle could even act on its own, like it's possessed and corrupted still. 5 Share this post Link to post
Cadaverized Posted October 11 Hope so. I also think he needs much more bullets to be taken down than what those teaser trailer seconds show 1 Share this post Link to post

Consistent-Money-990 Posted October 13 3 minutes ago, Idontevenknow2 said: ID Software truly is cooking. As I said before. They took doom eternals "cartoony art style" to heart. They seem to have given us the best of both worlds with The Dark Ages aesthetic. Eternals surreal, yet out-there environments mixed with 2016's dark and grittiness. ID definitely knows what they are doing. This game may not hit hard sound track wise (because lets be honest, no-one could compete on Micks level). But god damn is this games art style looking like a masterpiece. Dark ages is going to be one of those games where you truly don't know how good you have it, until it is gone Spoiler if this all ends up aging poorly I will eat sand 1 Share this post Link to post
whatup876 Posted October 13 Not sure if i'd describe DE as "surreal": It has lots of variety and ideas compared to 2016 but so much screams "focus on lore and world bulding" to me. To be, surrealism in Doom is some D3 enemies, D64's pain elemental and most of classic Hell like certain props/textures and how they're used. Doom in general could always be a little more weird. Like it'd be cool if there is a demon that looks like something out of Bosch or something. Going back to the TDA Pinky, it’s interesting to think of how big it is. Because with most enemies redesigns/reiterations, the visuals and gameplay always change but we still imagine them fitting in a vague box or something hinting at their “class”. Could be because the sizes don’t change that much or the health pools may be consistent at times. Or the overall ranking: Even if the modern Barons are bigger than the classic, both Baron types are still high rank enemies in their respective games. This is also what makes D4T, MetaDoom etc type mods interesting, just to see how consistent or fitting these enemy variations can be. The TDA Pinky looks like they’re trying to go a little big higher because of the size and potential health. It’d be like if the Lost Soul were to get a redesign where it’d be bigger than a Cacodemon… maybe it’d be like Heretic’s Iron Lich lol. 1 Share this post Link to post
Idontevenknow2 Posted October 13 Off topic, but I love how just one image of a demon we already know, in a location we’ve seen before, with a weapon we’re aware of, gets us all so excited. 1 Share this post Link to post

Doom is the OG. Without it, there would be no halo or call of duty. Not even fortnite would have existed without Doom. Doom is the grandfather of the fps genre. And it's a miracle we are still getting new games from this series. 0 Share this post Link to post
