The virtual texturing commands still worked in the beta if you applied them as launch variables.... but the MT related ones seemed to not work for me.

Remember, you will be that age some day.
Considering this game aims to please the original fans of the series the music is completely appropriate.

Is there any locational type damage modeling being done?

My Dad, who played the originals with me on my lap, loved it. Know your audience and such.
I can't wait for this game. I know opinions have been fairly mixed but I'm optimistic based on what I've seen.

That's a Spider Mastermind gun at the end if I ever saw one...

No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
I expect the ending to be as awesome as the original or am going to be highly disappointed. I remember laughing the first time had saw this due to the music and absurdity of it all.

Looks like it takes has the Arachnatrons plasma gun instead of its giant sized chaingun
Ehh I still really don't like them.
Don't think you know what that means there breh

Good, I hope it's removed. That tech completely fucked the engine up with the pop-in it caused.
Me too. Do we have any idea about the length of the campaign? I'm still up in the air about a Day One purchase. Can get it from Best Buy for $48 plus $10 Reward Zone certificate, but know I'll be busy with Uncharted 4 for a while. Decisions, decisions.
I'd assume so, there was controller customisation in the beta. If not just change it at the PS4 system level.
Great trailer, what a week its going to be next week.

Apparently ID claim over 13 hours, depending on how you play. It's always inflated a little, but I believe it'll be reasonably long.

The game looks positively awesome IMO and everything a Doom fan could ask for. It's slick, cool and looks fun as hell. This is day one for me as soon as I move in to my new place and get a gaming set up sorted out. The game looks divine.

Can I buy the soundtrack yet? The hardest part has been waiting to hear Mick's inevitable eargasm.
(also yes, I realize the music in the launch trailer isn't likely his)

Uh the framerate was unlocked on PC last I heard.
They've already announced it's not locked on PC though.
The hate for this game is seriously odd, even minor things like that you'd bother looking up before slamming it but no.

Nice callback:
One day I will buy a high quality poster of this and frame it.
:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
wow that just turned my purchase into day zero. Preordering now.
I had very low expectations since I knew it was idTech, I never even saw this announcement.
Thanks guys!

It's been happening since the announcement video, somebody in a thread the other day was like "Shame there's no monster infighting
" when it's been shown in a trailer!PC version will have a "ultra nightmare" graphical preset.

- No reload
- No sprint
- No auto-heal
- No ADS (some weapons have it)
the game as I see it have a lot of classic mechanics that differentiate it from other shooters and that's enough for me to look forward to it.
aliens + battle suits is DOOM's art direction before there was Halo btw.

Awesome. I'm building a computer specifically to tackle this game in 4K.
Is that sold officially anywhere? Because I kind of want to do that right now.

That Spider Mastermind!
Is that Archvile?
Is that Archvile?
so hyped
unfinished one for people who can't remember.
It looks like they replaced a small showing of this dude in the old one with the same scene with a cyberdemon in the finished one. @ 43 seconds (old one) and @ 48 seconds (new one)
I think this new one is much better.

We'll see how the gameplay turns out, but it sure does look nice. I'm assuming this video is pc footage.
When the game was released the machine parts were too futuristic for its time and technology too.

Great, I can already see all the whining in the performance Thread.
"I'm running this on ultra nightmare with my 970 and it's stuttering. The Optimization is crap!!!"
But we don't even know what it is. Hopefully some sort of future proofing preset unplayable on cutting edge current hardware.
Half of the fun of those threads.
Nah, I don't mean in a "that wouldn't be feasible at all with our tech!" way. I just found the designs of old more scary because the more primitive infusions of metal and flesh made them look more brutal and scary.
