What is John Carmack opinion about this Doom Remake? Postive or Negative? Did he even take part at it even as advisor?

Yeah, that'd be interesting to hear. Same with Romero.

 

[dlauv]

I'd say it looked like Halo.

It's not nostalgia to say Doom 1 & 2 were some of the best designed games of all time, if not THE best.

This is like a writer naming himself Shakespeare Jr.

Not really, considering they inherited the company of id fair and square, so id jr. would be apt. That doesn't denote that this is going to be a great game however.

Yeah, that'd be interesting to hear. Same with Romero.

Last I heard Romero said he liked what he saw in a video with IGN. But that was early on. Video link near the bottom.

Carmack was still at id for a good portion of the development.

Apparently just Snap Map.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Yeah, that'd be interesting to hear. Same with Romero.

I'm pretty sure Romero's not much of a fan since he retweeted this:

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

I'm pretty sure Romero's not much of a fan since he retweeted this:

Oh lol! I didn't mean the HD Remake of the first game but I meant this new game. I shoudl have said Reboot.

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Oh lol! I didn't mean the HD Remake of the first game but I meant this new game. I shoudl have said Reboot.

I'm pretty sure the criticism is meant to extend to the reboot itself. At least as far as the game being a faithful return to Doom's roots.

 

[biteren]

Oh lol! I didn't mean the HD Remake of the first game but I meant this new game. I shoudl have said Reboot.

im sure they gonna fix it in a baby update

 

[BeforeU]

I am actually excited for this. We will see.

 

[nomis]

I'm pretty sure Romero's not much of a fan since he retweeted this:

Holy that's anal

 

[Simo]

Oh man the hype is kicking in...what a week though, Uncharted 4 AND Doom! I missed the campaign stream so having just finished watching it I went ahead and bought the game digitally on PS4.

I see on Bethesda's blog the preload for PS4 and Xbox is Wednesday and it's 50GB?! I guess with UC4 and Doom I better clear some space...lol

 

[J 0 E]

Aliens? When were aliens ever in classic doom?

I mean "monsters" in general, people kept blaming DOOM of cloning Halo for example in this regard.

 

[Bishop89]

Fuck this looks mad as hell. (heh)

 

[Falchion]

I'll blow through the campaign at some point, looks fun.

 

[GavinUK86]

I just LOVE how this trailer finishes. It's the perfect homage to the original.

 

[LegalEagleMike]

I think it looks amazing. Doom was my first FPS and I am ready to give this a go.

 

[Savitar]

Looks pretty good to me, I plan on getting it at some point but going to need to wait awhile.

 

[KORNdoggy]

What happened to the awesome old school themed music they had in the unfinished version. Made it feel SO much like doom. This felt a bit generic in comparison.

 

[SneakyStephan]

Even the music was adapted for wider appeal...

 

[RedSwirl]

yeah, and IIRC Arkham Knight and TPP


I wish they'd stop doing this and include more than one disc or something.

I guess they just decided to stop doing multiple discs, because that is exactly what Bethesda did for Wolfenstein, RAGE, and The Evil Within. Maybe the cost was too high? Or maybe the cost was too high for packaging for more than four discs (Wolf and TEW each had four discs).

Fuck. This is gonna be the first time I have to download a game that's over 25GB. Kind of scared of running into my data cap.

I honestly prefer the music here after 10 seconds in or so especially. Less butt rock, more metal.

 

[gimmmick]

I'm guessing Michael John Gordon did the soundtrack to this title like he did with Wolfenstein?

 

[Raptomex]

Don't know if it's thread worthy (may have been posted here, idk) but the official specs and pre-loaded dates are up.

[Rockk]

Aliens? When were aliens ever in classic doom?

Depending on how you interpret the story. Mars is Hell and that's where the demons come from so they are aliens. But they were always suppose to be more classically demonic rather then this super sci-fi style there going for.

 

[QuantumZebra]

I was on the fence and thinking about only getting UC4 this month... but fuck that, this is Doom.

I'm ready.

Woah, that was a lot better for my taste.

 

[CreepingFear]

I might have to purchase Doom for nostalgia reasons.

 

[nextgeneration]

This is getting a little ahead but if the game ends up being good and it sells very well, we could actually see a sequel. Wouldn't that be something. It took nearly 12 years between Doom 3 and this Doom to come out.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

How is this game supposed to run on Xbox One? I think I read somewhere that the PS4 version was 1080/60, but any word how Xbox's version stacks up, because I'm debating if I wanna preorder that, or get Dark Souls 3 instead...

either the same with dips or tearing or 900p/60fps

nothing has been shown so far i think

cant go wrong with dark souls 3 though

 

[HueyFreeman]

Confirmed to be at least 13 hours. So maybe 10 if you play a lot of FPS games? Still, that's pretty great.

tremendous, thanks for the info

 

[GreenTornadoX]

This might be the first time I use Prime to preorder a game and get a decent discount!

 

[Protein]

I'll admit I was sour about the game at first, but I've waremd up to it just by seeing the single player gameplay. Day one.

 

[Comfort Jones]

Haven't been this excited for a shooter in a long time. Every now and then I see people call it generic but they never really frame HOW. What shooter does this look like? Call of Duty? Battlefield? What planet am I on where this shooter looks like the norm?

I guess that you have to wait to Digital Foundry to do his thing
Or you know, you could play and have fun

 

[AEREC]

Really looking forward to this but then everytime I go into a Doom thread there are a few too many people commenting down on the game.

 

[wonderfuldays]

I am so ready for this, let me on the Hype train~ lol

I think they said that for the multiplayer beta, the Xbox One version ran at 900p and ran mostly at 60 with drops to the 50s to low 50s/50 which they said was similar to the PS4 (from the video they showed though, the PS4 seemed to drop less to me, but I'd go with what they said).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LsH1jIbnO0

I don't know if anyone knows how it runs in single-player.

Here's the trailer with the old music

If this was representative of the music throughout the game, I would have preordered. Full stop.

 

[soxinthebox]

Think I'll pick myself up a copy for my birthday in a couple of weeks. Everything I've seen looks rad except the weapon load outs in multiplayer but I'll forgive it.

 

[Ultryx]

Oh no. I didn't realize the game had dialogue. That sucks.

That makes no sense, but, okay.

Still not convinced about this one. Will wait for reviews first. I don't trust that thing if Bethesda is involved.

Yeah that Wolfenstein was a real shit show, huh?

 

[antitrop]

I don't think this trailer's music matches up to the quality of the rest of what I've heard out of it, from other trailers and gameplay demos.

I think this trailer was just a poor use of Gordon's music. The leaked trailer has better music, but what I've heard out of other parts of the game sounds better than both of them.

This trailer was particularly weak, but I'm not worried about the soundtrack of the final game, at all. Wolfenstein and Killer Instinct are two of the best soundtracks of this generation, and I have no doubt DOOM will stand right beside them.

 

[DeepEnigma]

This looks so awesome - can't wait to get my hands on it. Really hoping it's not just a 4 hour campaign or something, but judging by Doom 3, it should by pretty meaty.



I'm an "older gamer" - played Doom 1 and 2 at time of release - and I don't just want a re-skinned version of the old games. I feel like what they've shown so far does a good job of capturing the essence of those original games. I'm also someone that really enjoyed the slow, but still arcadey action in Doom 3. Game gets way too much hate.



I certainly didn't.

Touchè good sir. I didn't do it in Doom 2, but I did in the first one, as well as everyone I ever met at the time, lol.

Agreed with all your points as well.

 

[tesqui]

So the min spec for PC is pretty similar to my own specs. (8gb RAM, GTX 670 2gb VRAM, i5 3570k OC 4.2ghz). What does this usually mean in terms of graphics settings? Like everything on low to maintain 60? If that's the case I might go grab it on consoles.

God damn what a time to be alive. Uncharted 4 and Doom binge.

Is that youtube link from the doom reboot soundtrack? because that's actually pretty great videogame music

 

[DocSeuss]

That's music from all the Doom trailers that are attributable to Mick Gordon.

It's anybody's guess at this point. I'd just wait a day or two after release to ensure that you are getting the best possible version for your set up.

 

[RoboPlato]

Yeah, it's extracted from the beta.
