tower of barrel has a lot of snapmap potential :)

damn that's fast, potentially even faster than quake or UT :) mental...

Im sure there are a few good reasons, but no doubt there is a huge day one patch that will change/fix certain parts of the game so they won't want an unpatched game getting reviewed. Also early reviews have a big impact these days, any negative reviews will be seized upon by braindead haters who will write their own negative reviews etc, and it can snowball just like the steam fiasco... I think its wise to let people make up there own minds first.

Lol

Agreed, the leaked version sounded a bit off

This game is not going to be judged on the accuracy of its easter eggs (except here maybe), it will be judged on the actual game itself, so this is naturally where id will focus its resources. Even now i expect the team are working flat out and there is literally no spare capacity to have someone spending time going through ENTIRE OG levels and manually flipping textures or adding lighting ... As someone mentioned it was most likely an issue with importing into the new engine, and as an easter egg it is not a big deal. Its just there to give you a little bit of nostalgia, and yes of course it will look out of place and break your immersion, its a different game with a completely different appearance :)

I think this will make them a lot less annoying, if potentially more dangerous in groups. Also the bursting into flame and attack animation is cool :)

totally agree, the level of bitching in this thread is ridiculous.

Yeah level design looks very promising and i love the look of the automap

Possesed/zoms- alright, do what they need to do Imps- great agility and potential challenge in large numbers Pinky- cool design, could be redder lol but no biggie Hk- great design, hell's bouncers BoH- awesome scary beast Lost soul- would be cool if skull more human looking but nice design anyway Caco- awesome in every way Rev- tied with caco for best reworking of the original designs Manc- cool designs, flamethrowers esp Archvile- new design looks good, interesting to see the mechanics Cybie- its grown on me but i dont really like the head design Arachnotron- hoping to see a bunch of these guys! Spidie- the leaked images seem iffy but obviously unfinished Overall really liking the reinterpretations of the classic designs :)

Yup already pre ordered, couldnt get 13th off work so took the monday instead :) The more i see of this the better it looks...

I couldn't help watching this, even more excited for the game now :)

loved the campaign stream, it's gonna be a long two weeks of waiting :) level design looks great, soundtrack is epic and I think the upgrade elements will add a little bit of extra depth and replayability...

Wow, those cacos look incredible! I wasn't convinced by the cyberdemon initially but the style seems to fit in the new screens...
