Marnetmar Posted July 24, 2012 Reload / no Reload 2, not sure if it'd be possible to pull off no reload in modern games very well. 64 mph player speed / realistic speed 2 Auto Aim (Doom 1) / No Auto Aim (Doom 3) 5 Player has run Stamina / Infinite run stamina 5 Jump / no Jump 5 Metal Soundtrack / Ambient Soundtrack 3, I like both equally Darkness / bright 3 Earth / Hell / Mars 1 and 2 Vast landscapes / Clusterphobic areas 2 Oxygen needed / No Oxygen needed 5 Doom creatures are: from Hell / From Mars 1, why the hell would you want them to be on Mars? That's retarded. Long range Shotgun (Doom 1) / Short Range Shotgun (Doom 3) 2 Automatic Chaingun (Doom 1) / Timed wait Chaingun (Doom 3) 3 Machine Gun / No Machine Gun Don't care Flashlight on everything / Flashlight / No Flashlight 1 Scary and slow paced / Action and fast paced 7 Story Based / Level based 3 Med Kits / Cover regeneration 2 Secrets & Exploration / A focused path 1 Living people along the way / You are the only survivor 7 Classic Pinkie / New Pinkie 3, I'd like a new, scary take on the classic designs for all monsters.

glenzinho Posted July 24, 2012 Reload / no Reload 3 - Unsure of reload or not.... 64 mph player speed / realistic speed 3 - Keep it in the middle of Doom & realistic... how about realistically Doom speed? Auto Aim (Doom 1) / No Auto Aim (Doom 3) 5 - We have mouses and WASD these days... we want height differences so no auto aim, but maybe the option for those who want it Player has run Stamina / Infinite run stamina 4 - Infinite within reason, definitely not the Doom 3 type Jump / no Jump 1 - Of course! This is 3D! Metal Soundtrack / Ambient Soundtrack 3 - A mix between the two, just like the original Darkness / bright 3 - Depending on level or area really, this is going to be a modern game so it should be done in realistically way i.e Light for daytime in the streets, dark in a cave etc Earth / Hell / Mars 1 - Bring on the apocalypse... Probably good to take stroll through hell during part of the game Vast landscapes / Clusterphobic areas 3 - A bit of both... should be going through devastated cities, forests, mountains, caves, a hole to hell Oxygen needed / No Oxygen needed 5 - This is Earth, fuck that oxygen tank shit Doom creatures are: from Hell / From Mars 1 - Hell, of course Long range Shotgun (Doom 1) / Short Range Shotgun (Doom 3) 1 - Bullets don't stop until they hit something... Automatic Chaingun (Doom 1) / Timed wait Chaingun (Doom 3) 2 - liked the idea of the Doom 3 one, didn't like the executuion Machine Gun / No Machine Gun 1 - This is nice as a basic weapon along with the shotgun Flashlight on everything / Flashlight / No Flashlight 3 - Flashlights were destroyed in the apocalypse... (hopefully!) Scary and slow paced / Action and fast paced 5 - A bit of both, depends on area and level... should have both Story Based / Level based 4 - more level & progression based, a little story can't hurt but it shouldn't be the focus... Med Kits / Cover regeneration 1 - Cover regeneration, we don't need no stinkin' cover regeneration... Secrets & Exploration / A focused path 1 - A focused path should be start area and exit area, and everything in between should be exploration, action & secrets/stuff to find Living people along the way / You are the only survivor 4 - prefer being the only survivor but a few harmless NPC interactions could be done nice... Classic Pinkie / New Pinkie 1 - I didn't see no new pinkie, I saw a whitish foreskin headed creature though... Horned Baron / No horns on Baron 1 - this really should be obvious... Quests / No Quests but Keys and exit 5 - fuck quests and side missions, this ain't GTA... Stealth / All guns 5 - Don't know exactly what you mean here but I don't like the sound of the word stealth so I'll go with all guns Puzzles / No Puzzles 4 - Within reason, but preferably not Gravity Gun / No Gravity Gun 5 - Fuck no! Various melee weapons / chainsaws & fists 5 - Chainsaw & fists, with perhaps the ability to pick up stuff ala Action Doom 2.. pick up bottles and smash them over enemies heads, stop signs, 2 x 4s etc... Martian Buddy / No Martian Buddy 5 - Fuck no! Other Marines to fight with you / Just you vs millions 4 - Against the millions... AND millions of the Doomguy's fans... other marines for multiplayer only. 0 Share this post Link to post
Clonehunter Posted July 24, 2012 Reload / no Reload 3, I'd like to say no for classic reasons, but now I get a bit bugged when I can't reload a gun, mostly because I like hearing all the sounds and watching the animations play out. 64 mph player speed / realistic speed 2, I'd like to move fast again, and gun things down while breaking Olympic speed records. Auto Aim (Doom 1) / No Auto Aim (Doom 3) 5, because I should be expecting to look up and down now and not need auto aim. Player has run Stamina / Infinite run stamina 5, because I hate staminas. Jump / no Jump 1, I'd like to jump please. Metal Soundtrack / Ambient Soundtrack 3, I'd like a mix of this, but more in the vein of Ambient tracks in Doom, such as E1M2 or maybe even something more like PSX Doom. Darkness / bright 3, make it varied. Earth / Hell / Mars All of the above? Vast landscapes / Clusterphobic areas 3, both, though I'd like ample places and room to explore both kind of situations. Oxygen needed (for Hell & space & toxic gas) / No Oxygen issues 5, Doomguy should wear a helmet so he doesn't need to worry. Doom creatures are: from Hell / From Mars 1, why would I wan martians in a game about killing Demons? Lets not have a Doom Movie the Game here. Long range Shotgun (Doom 1) / Short Range Shotgun (Doom 3) 2, because Sniper Shotgun is kinda whacked even then, but I don't want to have to be point blank to kill an Imp in one hit. Automatic Chaingun (Doom 1) / Timed wait Chaingun (Doom 3) 2, because, it's not 1. Machine Gun / No Machine Gun 3, I don't care about this either way. Flashlight on everything / Flashlight / No Flashlight 3, we should use our shotguns for darkness because MIGHT MAKES LIGHT, AND I FEEL MIGHTY! Flash light has a recharge time / Flashlight has power cells like ammo / Flashlight never runs out / No flashlight See above, fucker. Scary and slow paced / Action and fast paced 6.5, I'd like to see both, but have more action than slower paced stuff. Story Based / Level based 3, I'm okay either way. Med Kits / Cover regeneration 1, Med kits because this isn't Call of Duty Secrets & Exploration / A focused path 1, because this is Doom and not Call of Duty Living people along the way / You are the only survivor 5, again, I don't care about this aspect. Classic Pinkie / New Pinkie Why would I want Pinkie Pi... Oh... Um, again I actually don't care. I liked both... Hey, I know, have both! Or a new original design that still looks like the classic. Horned Baron / No horns on Baron 2, maybe both kinds again, but I like more Demonic looking creatures in a game abut killing Demons. Quests / No Quests but Keys and exit 4, I mean, a story with objectives is alright, but let them be more background, and bring on thrilling chases and key searches for old times sake. Stealth (sneaking past enemies) / All guns (killing everything in sight) 5, this isn't *Generic Stealth Shooter* Puzzles / No Puzzles 4, I guess some are all right, BUT NO PLATFORMING SECTIONS. Gravity Gun / No Gravity Gun 5, what do you think this is? Half Life 2? Various melee weapons / chainsaws & fists 5, cuz what else is needed? Martian Buddy / No Martian Buddy 1, it was funny. Clone Porn anyone? In single player: Other Marines to fight with you / Just you vs millions 4, I wouldn't mind like maybe one mission, or so, but let it mostly be one man against the world. Better Graphics / More Enemies at once Can't these be achieved at once? Water: Has depth and is swimable / Has no depth and you walk on it 3, don't care either way. If we can swim in it, make water monsters or something to keep it interesting. Imps shoot fireballs: In a straight line and they go forever (Doom 1) / At an arc where it eventually falls (Doom 3) 3, either one Some enemies require you to shoot: in weak spots (head, back) / Shoot it wherever 5, shoot where you want. Inventory system based on weight of weapons & ammo & items / No inventory, just guns, ammo and keys 5, because Doom Sniper rifle for headshots / Hell no 5, I don't want a sniper rifle. Explosive weapons: Pipe bombs (Doom 3) & grenades & Rocket launcher / Only rocket launcher 3, eh, don't care either way again. Heh, Pipe bombs, eh? What a mess. Poisoning types of enemies that do damage for a few seconds / Hell no 3, don't care again. 0 Share this post Link to post

printz Posted July 25, 2012 geo said:Someone should really make a giant survey so we can solve what people want from DOOM 4.... This can be like a sliding scale. Feel free to suggest something to add. Reload / no Reload 3. Some weapons to have reload, others not. 64 mph player speed / realistic speed 3. Keep it manageable like in Quake, not excessive like in Doom, not crippling like in realistic settings. Auto Aim (Doom 1) / No Auto Aim (Doom 3) 5. No autoaim needed when you can mouselook. Player has run Stamina / Infinite run stamina 3. Keep it there so the player has to ration his running, but don't make it so slow it becomes unrealisticly weak. Jump / no Jump 2. Jump is a cool athletics in shooter games. Metal Soundtrack / Ambient Soundtrack 3. Balance is the key. Darkness / bright 1. Darkness. I liked Doom 3 and the darkness theme should be continued. Maybe not so dark to require flashlights, but dark enough. I prefer gritty, not shiny. Earth / Hell / Mars 2. Hell. I like fantastic places. Mars has already been explored, and Earth is boring. Vast landscapes / Clusterphobic areas 4. Claustrophobic, but let some yards and outdoors here and there. Oxygen needed (for Hell & space & toxic gas) / No Oxygen issues 4. Only require oxygen for hazardous areas, like in traditional Doom. Doom creatures are: from Hell / From Mars 1. I thought it's established they're from hell. Long range Shotgun (Doom 1) / Short Range Shotgun (Doom 3) 3. Depends on what shotgun we're talking about. I like it to be short range, though, but I'm choosing moderate here. Automatic Chaingun (Doom 1) / Timed wait Chaingun (Doom 3) 5. The difference is insignificant here. I chose 5 because it adds a little challenge without ruining anything. Machine Gun / No Machine Gun 2. Yes, but less cheesy looking than in Doom 3. If it looks like an assault rifle, I'm happy. Flashlight on everything / Flashlight / No Flashlight 1. Yes, but keep its battery limited and turn the player into a monster-alerting beacon. Flash light has a recharge time / Flashlight has power cells like ammo / Flashlight never runs out / No flashlight 2. Like I said above. No, recharge time is as bad as health or ammo regeneration. Make the player look for batteries (precedent game: Star Wars Dark Forces) Scary and slow paced / Action and fast paced 4. Tend towards scary and suspenseful, but also be action-packed (be balanced). Story Based / Level based 4. Focus on levels, but try to also integrate a story arc to make it more interesting for non-hardcore players. Med Kits / Cover regeneration 1. Medikits and other items that have to be found. Regeneration is passive and bad. Secrets & Exploration / A focused path 3. Balanced. Make it both linear and exploratory, duh. Living people along the way / You are the only survivor 8. Mostly it's only you, but have a chance to meet NPCs like civilians or allies, if not even bots who do NOT tag along with you but choose their ways. Classic Pinkie / New Pinkie 5. They're not different, except that the latter has iron legs, which are not significant. But I'd rather continue where Doom 3 left, than undecidedly restart with classic Doom Horned Baron / No horns on Baron 1. Hmm, this time is 1. Doom 3 has the Hell Knight. Meanwhile there's a custom Baron of Hell for Doom 3 that HAS horns, so the new Baron should have horns too :) Quests / No Quests but Keys and exit 1. Quests. Keys are obsolete even in classic Doom where they can be replaced by switches. They only made sense in Wolf3D or Descent where they were the only way to unlock areas. In Doom they're vestigial but people put them in anyway as a convention. Stealth (sneaking past enemies) / All guns (killing everything in sight) 4. Mostly gunfighting, but put the odd stealth level in. Puzzles / No Puzzles 2. Yes, but not overwhelmingly so. Gravity Gun / No Gravity Gun 5. No. Leave that sort of ability to magic. It gives you too much power and only makes sense if everything around is as high tech as the grabber. Various melee weapons / chainsaws & fists 4. Apart from fists (weak) and chainsaws (repeated), also provide the player with an intermediary melee object that can break. Martian Buddy / No Martian Buddy 2. Yes. Fourth-wall easter eggs are nice. In single player: Other Marines to fight with you / Just you vs millions 2. I already said yes to NPCs including allies. HOWEVER, they have to be more likable than in Quake 4, or not always standing in your way... Better Graphics / More Enemies at once 3. Balance, okay? Water: Has depth and is swimable / Has no depth and you walk on it 4. Don't focus on underwater passages, this is not Quake. But do add waist-deep currents that can carry you, for challenge's sake (again a precedent is Dark Forces). Imps shoot fireballs: In a straight line and they go forever (Doom 1) / At an arc where it eventually falls (Doom 3) 3. At an arc, straight. Depends on the set-up. Some enemies require you to shoot: in weak spots (head, back) / Shoot it wherever 5. Weak spots unfortunately remind me of cheesy predictable console bosses and make no sense with zombies and the like. They're supposed to be horrific, not human-like. They should not have weak spots, for crying out loud. Inventory system based on weight of weapons & ammo & items / No inventory, just guns, ammo and keys 3. Have an inventory, but don't limit it by weight. Limit instead the lifetime of objects in your inventory, so you don't meet the boss all packed with supplies. Sniper rifle for headshots / Hell no 4. As I said, no headshots. But sniping might be useful. Explosive weapons: Pipe bombs (Doom 3) & grenades & Rocket launcher / Only rocket launcher 2. Yes, just not too much. Poisoning types of enemies that do damage for a few seconds / Hell no 4. Yes, just not too many. 0 Share this post Link to post
Acid Posted July 26, 2012 Reload / no Reload 2 - Some weapon reload (like the SSG), but I'd prefer it not to be limited by "ammo clips" 64 mph player speed / realistic speed 1 - I miss Doomguy speed. Bring it back :C Auto Aim (Doom 1) / No Auto Aim (Doom 3) 3 - On edge for this one. If id makes it autoaim and freelook, that'd be too easy. On the other hand, no freelook might piss people off. (Of course, people would be able to disable/enable, but defaults, defaults...) Player has run Stamina / Infinite run stamina 5 - Stamina? What's that? Jump / no Jump 3 - I hope there are no mandatory jumpmaze parts. If there are, I'd prefer 64mph doomguy. Metal Soundtrack / Ambient Soundtrack 4 - I'm more of an ambient type of guy, not saying I didn't love BP's epic OST. Darkness / bright 4 - This isn't Doom 3. Earth / Hell / Mars 3 - Earth? Been there done that. Hell? Diablo's got a control on that one. Vast landscapes / Clusterphobic areas 3 - A mix of, just to provide a breathtaking experience and to really pack the firefights in. Oxygen needed (for Hell & space & toxic gas) / No Oxygen issues 5 - Lungs the size of Earth Doom creatures are: from Hell / From Mars 3 - Both. Long range Shotgun (Doom 1) / Short Range Shotgun (Doom 3) 1 Automatic Chaingun (Doom 1) / Timed wait Chaingun (Doom 3) 1 - Seriously? Bullshit that D3 gatling. Machine Gun / No Machine Gun ??? - Depending on how this is made. Flashlight on everything / Flashlight / No Flashlight 3 - Nightvision. Flash light has a recharge time / Flashlight has power cells like ammo / Flashlight never runs out / No flashlight 4 - No flashlight. Scary and slow paced / Action and fast paced 8 - Should have their moments, but I'm more for action and fastpaced. Story Based / Level based 3 - Levels can have a story, right? Med Kits / Cover regeneration 1 - YOU'RE HURT! GET TO COVER! RETURN TO THE COMBAT ZONE! Secrets & Exploration / A focused path 1 - What made Doom unique was the non-linearity, as in, not having a cutscene every other step. Living people along the way / You are the only survivor 5 - idk how to go about this one. Classic Pinkie (Doom 1) / New Pinkie (Doom 3) 2 - That was funny. It could use a buff though. Horned Baron / No horns on Baron 1 - Hellknight too. Quests / No Quests but Keys and exit 5 - As much as I like quests, we've got Rage and Skyrim for that. Stealth (sneaking past enemies) / All guns (killing everything in sight) 4 - Each should have their moment, but I don't mind a few sneak sessions. Puzzles / No Puzzles 2 - Keys? Yes. Gravity Gun (Doom 3 RoE) / No Gravity Gun 5 Various melee weapons / chainsaws & fists 4 - Could use a revamp on just chainsaw and fists. Maybe...a wrench? Martian Buddy / No Martian Buddy 4 - "summonfriend doomimp" In single player: Other Marines to fight with you / Just you vs millions 5 Better Graphics / More Enemies at once 3 - A balance between both, without having me grab the unreleased Radeon from their tech lab to run this stuff. Water: Has depth and is swimable / Has no depth and you walk on it 4 - No submarine missions please. (btw, I picked Mars, so how does this work) Now for crazy stuff that you might ask wtf? Imps shoot fireballs: In a straight line and they go forever (Doom 1) / At an arc where it eventually falls (Doom 3) 2 - Slight arc Some enemies require you to shoot: in weak spots (head, back) / Shoot it wherever 5 - HEADSHOT. HEADSHOT. HEADSHOT. What about the pinky? It's a giant head. Inventory system based on weight of weapons & ammo & items / No inventory, just guns, ammo and keys 4 - Should slow down if carrying any big obstacles Sniper rifle for headshots / Hell no 5 Flame Thrower / Hell no 4 Rocket Jumping / No Rocket Jumping 3 - Secrets only I say. When you die in a level in single player: Respawn at the start / Restart the level completely (forcing you to load a save game) 5 - Hard for a reason. Explosive weapons: Pipe bombs (Doom 3) & grenades & Rocket launcher / Only rocket launcher 3 - As long as there no frag grenades. Poisoning types of enemies that do damage for a few seconds / Hell no 5 Disfiguring enemies that affects how they move (shooting off legs / arms) / Shoot it and kill it 5 Zombies have: Randomized clothes and randomized facial features / a few different looks 1 - That'd be pretty neat actually. Just nothing bizarre, like clowns and astronauts coming from Wendys. When a zombie does not have a gun: it runs at you / it walks at you 2 - I doubt that fat guy can outrun a 64mph marine. SOME Enemies: Flank you / Come straight toward you 5 ---- What about infighting? Different outcomes based on exit in level? Easy to use included map editor? 0 Share this post Link to post
Koko Ricky Posted July 31, 2012 "What about infighting?" Absolutely, that would be a great spectacle to watch with next-gen hardware, not to mention it could be used as a novel way to introduce a stealth element or to force the player to conserve ammo. "Different outcomes based on exit in level?" This would be great too, it would emphasize the need for Doom 4 to have non-linear elements. This could be used as a way to challenge players; exploring a seemingly treacherous area might yield interesting results. "Easy to use included map editor?" I've heard complaints about Doom 3's editor and some of these new engines seem so daunting it's scary to imagine modding with them. Doom 4's editor should be easy enough to make competent, interesting designs, but have enough features to really push the limit on design. 0 Share this post Link to post
geo Posted August 1, 2012 I've updated and been updating the survey. Thank you so much to everyone who has played along. The different outcomes based on exit in level. Secret exits and the easy to include map editor I can't imagine someone saying hell no to something they might never use or even know is there. 0 Share this post Link to post
