"Press F to execute Demon."
That trailer definitely tempered my excitement quite a bit.

the aim was atrocious
I was excited by what I saw. I wish they took more of a humor route and had the main character just be an awesome guy without a super suit. Anyway, the melee kills were fantastic and overall frantic pace is really improved, but not as much as I expected. I was kind of bummed out that the shotguns didn't have uber long range like the original games.
I definitely look forward to seeing more of it. I wasn't blown away like when I first saw Doom 3, but I'm excited by what I see.

Oh, my apologies then! It would be nice to seem Doom be a gaming staple again- maybe by release they'll bump a few things due to feedback.
The graphics are quite good though- a bit more distinct enemy design/coloring would be nice though. The palate reminds me a lot of Quake at the moment, which isn't really a positive.
No. I will take it back. I will take it all back from the unworthy.
I will scrape the parasites off, they will peel with the sickly fleshy popping sound of a tumorous slough.

Yeah it was pretty bad.Seeing controller aiming in trailers is one of my pet peeves, it's a big put off for me.

I love Pokken!
People dislike Doom 3? What the hell...
Maybe it's just me, but that controller movement never even set up any "flow" from the get go. So bad. Don't know why they decided to show off the game in such a sluggish way.

The Hell gameplay looked slow and boring too. Reminds me of Painkiller. The cinematic kills break the pace too much and glowing enemies look dumb.

Looks really fun. The hell demo was way better.

I know, right? It's good for what it is; a horror game. OG Doom 3 with mods is still quite the looker.
This? Looks like Doom alright. That's about it. *shrug*

Totally agreed on that. I hope the constructive criticism in here does lead to changes. I am sure they are listening.

Looks good enough,probably could increase the speed and ad more enemies.. Visually it looks stunning.
You mean the virtual non existent AI?

Looks freaking awesome. No way my PS4 can run that, lol.
Yeah, I don't know how much of my impression was coloured by the controls being sluggish. I liked the double jump movement stuff but even then came off eh.
Did the map editor get shown or just mentioned in speech? Vids?

I don't get the hate, I saw everything I wanted from a Doom game, The only problem I had was with the weapon sounds, they don't really have that thump and clap that the OG Doom had.

The thing that stood out for me the most as a turnoff was that every enemy dropped health and ammo. That ain't DOOM. That's borderline regenerating health.

Agreed.
They didnt drop health and ammo, it fucking showered out of them more gratuitously then the blood and gibs, with bright ass neon signs.

It looks really slow, like a remake of doom 3 to me. I really don't care about the executions, they just slow things down and will get old because this game is supposed to swarm you with monsters from hell.
They haven't known what makes doom or quake fun in a very, very long time.
Also, are these strogg in the video?
Whole game looks disappointing, but that's really something I've come to expect from ID for well over a decade.

Oh my... Shit got REAL in the single player video! That's the one to watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXhpg9Qx6l0
They still need to show what makes the game FUN though. Quake, Quake 3 and Doom are FUN games so that's the element they really need to show. From the video, I think the movement and mechanics need to be adjusted to make the game more skill based.

I'll second that it looked really slow, and the executions seem unnecessary, especially if the game starts throwing more and more enemies per encounter. It is a demo, though, and those are usually slow and played with a controller to show everything off.
Guess I'll post it here instead
So what did you think? I hoped for more but it wasn't all out terrible.
I really want to like it, we'll see.
- Hit detection looked bad
- Dumb AI
- Didn't see "hordes of enemies"
- Excessive use of kill animations, broke the flow
- Controller gameplay looked stale, will reserve judgment until I see mouse gameplay
- Could've gone crazier with the weapon design, some looked too generic/"assault rifle-ish"
- Don't know if I liked items popping out of enemies vs being placed in the map

Problem I have there in that video is that every encounter look scripted and 1v1, where is the horde, where's the bloodbath that ensues as you strafe all around in and out blasting them.
The more I look the more it feels like a hybrid of Doom 3 and Quake 4.
The enemies look too similar to one another. It's okay to use some bright colors to distinguish different enemy types, like the classic Doom did, you know (hot pink for the Demons, neon red and blue for the Cacodemons, etc.). Right now everything is grey and orange.

man, I'm so in. give me that beta. the visuals/lighting was nice and it looked like what I expected doom to be in 2015. the worst thing I can think of is the health dropping out of enemies; other than that, looked great to me. I liked how the executions didn't repeat themselves. it seemed to be different depending where you aimed which is great; i hope more games implement that.
I mean its a throwback to old Doom which I love but press X to execute ? that seems counter-productive to me with a game your trying to keep momentum, assume you don't HAVE to kill the creature that way but still. Plus it seems slow and slugish but yeah as others have said its a year off and it was with a controller.

Well the one positive I can draw from these videos is that the game had a next gen looking framerate.

Not the Doom game I wanted. This just looks like someone took a modified Doom 3 and added Brutal Doom executions to it and called it a day.

I liked the weapons and overall design but hated how it moved. That could be a demo thing though, as FPS live demos in particular tend to have this weird, fake looking deliberate movement. Doom needs to be fast. And by god please no cutscenes or QTEs.

There should be more tampons in gaming
I thought the game looked surprisingly good; to my eyes it seemed to be the perfect union of the atmosphere of Doom 3 while preserving the feel and gameplay of Doom 1& 2. The only thing I could see people griping about are the finishers but considering that they are purely optional it shouldn't be a problem, plus they look cool. This one will remain on my radar and I love the fact that all of the enemies have returned. Can't wait for this to drop
