ID.

Wish it was Machine Games, ah well.

Quick question: who is making the game? Machine Games or id Software?

As far as I know it's all id, however Certain Affinity has been helping out with the multiplayer portion.

Edit: Oops, didn't realize so many people would respond so quickly, haha. I can also echo that while I like what I see, I would've loved Machine Games doing it. I can only imagine it would've looked darker and grittier then.

 

[Warxard]

I don't think it's a good trade-off. I mean yeah the gameplay SHOULD be great too, but Doom was always graphical showcase.

"DOOM was always a graphical showcase"

Yeah the majority of those WADS for DOOM/II are visual buffs

/s

 

[SpaceWolf]

Wow, I fucking love this screenshot.

HEAD FOR THAT EXIT DOOMGUY.

YOU WILL FIND NO PEACE UP AHEAD.

 

[Warxard]

I wonder if this will have blood effects like wall and floor splatter? Changing those sterile, futuristic environments to fucking messes

Thanks!

I wonder what Machine Games will do next. It'd be cool if they made a new Quake.

I want this. Make a comparison picture so the devs implement it.

 

[Randomizer123454444]

Looks great! Will be on my wishlist.

No. Gameplay is king. Metal.

Yes, with Doom it was about the very satisfying slaughter-fest. Original Doom game mechanics hold up decently even today.

Doesn't this run at 60 fps on consoles? Of course it's not going to blow minds like Doom 3 did.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Doesn't this run at 60 fps on consoles? Of course it's not going to blow minds like Doom 3 did.

Yeah, they've stated 60fps across the board. I think even 1080p? But I could be wrong about that.

 

[Taker34]

Oh shit I have 1886 in my PSN download queue from one of the flash sales last year when it was $10. The concept sounded cool so I did a blind buy. Wow wow I'm hyped as hell now.

Ha, I'd love to see a graphics impression thread from you once you played a bit of The Order 1886 - I imagine coming purely from last gen consoles to that game should be a fascinating experience.

@On topic: It looks like Doom! I still remember how absolutely frightening real the graphics looked in those game magazine reviews - especially for a PS2 owner at the time. I hope the gameplay and the campaign are at least somewhat exciting, because I don't know what kind of ground breaking features or elements they could add, to make this title more than a mediocre remake of Doom 3. Maybe I never understood what people liked about Doom (3) in the first place.

 

[UnrealEck]

There's a PC version though.

Across the console board? Or across the board board?

 

[RoboPlato]

I don't think they've said anything but 60fps.

 

[MiguelItUp]

PC, PS4, and XB1. 60fps on all versions was mentioned in the GI article. 1080p was mentioned briefly, but wasn't specifically pointed out if it was across all platforms if I remember correctly. Sounded like it was, but I can't help but doubt that.

Edit: On the new hub article they mention 1080p on PC, which of course is expected. I'm sure it's safe to just assume it won't be on other platforms. If they say otherwise at some point, cool, but until then it's best not to assume. My apologies for even mentioning that!

 

[Mr.Pig]

Wow, I fucking love this screenshot.

Unacceptable. Too much green piss filter and carrot juice filter.

 

[Warewolf]

Old

New

Hot Shit.

I think they will use a dynamic framebuffer similar to what was used on Wolfenstein TNO on consoles or Halo 5.

 

[zephry]

I wish it had more of the original Doom feel. I am not liking the Doom 3 atmosphere. If the devs bring the mindless action of original Doom, I am all in.

 

[inner-G]

Coco demons - they're not just for breakfast anymore!

Looks pretty good

 

[RoboPlato]

It worked well for them in Rage last gen.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I agree, I mean it worked pretty well in my experience.

 

[wild wild rice]

Thanks!

They're doing another Wolfenstein.

 

[JoeInky]

The cacodemons look so much better without the piss filter that I can't think of a sane reason why it was ever there in the first place.

 

[jett]

What you think of KZ:SF?

I couldn't even finish the second level, game is probably not for me.....but thought the graphics were quite nice.

Yeah that's the probably the last one.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Very meh

 

[G_Berry]

Oooooooooh baby, this looks sick!

 

[Maffis]

Not the best looker for sure on screens, but 60 fps is what sells it for me and unfortunately that can't be shown with pics.

 

[Chance Hale]

Does anyone know if idtech 6 is locked to 60 FPS like 5 was? Would be lovely to play at 144 FPS

 

[IrishNinja]

echoing everyone else here, but damn that looks way better!

 

[hesido]

Better without the piss filter for sure.

 

[AgentOtaku]

Wait... So now IT IS 60fps on consoles?!

Rad if true!

 

[AlphaDump]

looks absolutely incredible. and more importantly, like DOOM.

 

[k4n3]

whoever thought that yellow filter looked good should be fired, still not digging the claymation look that is carrying over from the last doom but it looks fun and im glad id is going back to its roots rage was such a trainwreck and hope it doesn't have the day 1 issues that game had

Whoa buddy.... Fired is a bit much :/

It's always a work in progress and the team listened and realized

Let's all just be happy, okay?

IT LOOKS LIKE DOOM. That picture with a skull fortress... Aaah. This could be something very special.

 

[thehillissilent]

I hope that they will release new footage soon.

 

[wild wild rice]

Looks pretty cool, I guess.

 

[shattyboombatty]

I WANT TO PLAY THIS

 

[Comfort Jones]

Upset by lack of mod tools but I am really excited to get my hands on the snap map stuff.

 

[Tyl3n0L85]

Looks really great. Really hope it'll have a solid MP

 

[Herr Starr]

I've always been a huge fan of Doom (yes, even Doom 3), up to and including making my own campaign WAD for Doom 2. This, combined with what we've been told about the gameplay, looks very promising to me.

 

[Akronis]

Too bad it'll probably be locked at 60fps for PC as well :/

idTech 5 (and I'm guessing 6) made some REALLY stupid decisions with how framerates worked.

 

[BennyBlanco]

does this game take place on a space ship again? why? hell is a much more interesting environment

 

[nextgeneration]

Is it really going to be locked at 60 fps? There's no way around this?

 

[Fahzgoolin]

Usually Doom takes a "descent into Hell format", where you start in a more human environment and the levels become more "hellish" and the gameplay more intense and difficult.

It's a tried and true format that works really well.

 

[WordAssassin]

does this game take place on a space ship again? why? hell is a much more interesting environment

Just going off the screens it looks like it's both? One of the "piss filter" pictures in this thread looks like it's in an outside area, I'd assume that's hell.
