The frame rate in the video linked in the OP is fucking dogshit.
Like 20 FPS. I suspect its the guy who uploaded it though who recorded/encoded it badly.
 
Yep. I loved the Alpha, i love all the SP footage.

Cant wait how the game will play in Beta and of course final release. I hope they listened to some of the feedback from the Alpha :)

Wow, if it's true that Archviles and Spider Mastermind are in the game then I'm even more hyped! I do hope that if there is a expansion they reintroduce Arachnatrons and Brutes!

I think there was supposed to be a December beta exclusively for Xbox One, and they did an alpha in order to keep their word on that. The guaranteed beta for TNO preorders still hasn't happened.

i dont think it was exclusive, i got a code for it on my PS4 in december

Oh, didn't realize it was multiplatform. Still, that was an alpha, so we should still have a beta incoming (guessing the TNO preorder for access deal will just give early access, and there will be other ways to get in.)

Thats The Division you are talking about ;)

There is no exclusive beta access shit like other are doing with hitman or homefront

How GAF, especially mods, take if one posts datamined information? People over at DOOM World have been digging into alpha version of DOOM and found all kinds of interesting stuff. Asking before pulling trigger and posting any links, just to be safe.

Don't even think about it. Better safe than sorry.
 
One thing I've noticed is that one of the few things that was kept between 2011's "Call of DOOM" and this new one is the super shotgun model.

You've no doubt noticed there's a thread now, but for future reference, it's fine, even if the game in question has an NDA in effect. Babysitting NDAs isn't something admins/mods concern themselves with.

I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on that information because I know policy on stuff like magazine scans, and one could see this kind datamine as parallel to things like that. Especially when this stuff is very much WIP and not intended for public consumption by devs.

Popped my pastebin stuff link to that another thread.

Posting scans is generally forbidden because 99% of the time it's the content from a paid publication being made available for free. This is why, for instance, in Edge threads you only see the review scores and not the reviews themselves, unless they've been published on the site as well. Datamining doesn't fall under that umbrella because it's merely scattershot information -- there's no distribution of content that could even remotely be considered piracy.

They were good, especially the Lost Soul, but the bad far outweighed the good for me.
Same. There were a couple of really good ones, but for the most part they were either fairly unexciting or just plain wrong. Like some discarded Quake designs.

Some new scenes popped up from clueless gamer

The more I look at it, the more I think the game is trying to get closer to Brutal Doom than classic Doom. Which is not a terrible thing (I really, really enjoy Brutal Doom, even if I just learned that its creator is a complete asshat), although I'd prefer if they'd went with the original, slower vibe.

Honestly, Doom was pretty brutal for it's time so this is the obvious continuation of the franchise. I am certain that Doom 4 would look like this even without Brutal Doom.

Brutal Doom is it's own thing it's more elaborate extension and sure i enjoy it also but i grew up with OG Doom 1 and 2 like everyone else did but i prefer the older doom that scared me more as a kid but also when replaying it now at an older age it is still stressful sometimes.

To me this ID Software doesn't know what they're doing and to be honest i will not be buying it i am not impressed what they showed and what i have been reading from game informer it all feels meh to me.

An example of how complex you can get with the SnapMap game logic (from the DOOM Twitter):

Holy cow that is complex! I still hope they will expand on it and release more stuff for snapmap. Also in the campaign video that was released a few weeks back, you can see the Cacodemon kill a imp with its fireball :3 I really hope it means there is infighting in the game!
