Exactly what I would expect vintage Doom to look like in 2016. They did good.

New screen from Gameinformer's coverage, another update on Jan. 11:
My Little Hellbaron can't possibly be this Kawaii

Why? I didn't necessarily love a lot of Doom 3's enemy designs, but the environments were great.

Wow, I fucking love this screenshot.
Those Gatorade-colored cylinders are making me thirsty.
Haha, so true. Liking the look of some of the guns seen, such as the second screen in the OP.

Ok, I really like what I'm seeing now. It's crazy a filter change would sway me into getting hyped for the game.

Is this going to have VR features?

The last time I upgraded my PC to play a certain game was for Doom 3. Looks like I'll be doing it again.

Annoys me how for most monsters they've tried to retain the classic look but the Imps and Knights of Hell both look like their lame-ass D3 counterparts.
Where's my brown spiky imp with red eyes?

I seriously doubt that "that gameplay" can even exist beyond the 2.5D limitations of Tech1. And while Doom 3 "sacrificed" it it sure as hell had a different good gameplay going on.
Fast moving FPS games are not good in VR [they could work with teleporting, but that is not perfect solution for every fps game]. Maybe some RTS mode in Snapmap will be VR-friendly, but who knows if the game will even support VR rendering/VR-friendly HUD, etc.

This looks great. I'm pretty glad that it's also coming to PS4.
I hope it still looks this good. :-D

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
It still looks generic, but I'll reserve judgement until I play it.
Yeah, but not Doom 1&2 great, it just lacks that feelings provocative scenery of the original.

I actually like a lot of doom 3 monster designs. The hell knights still look, sound, and animate really well in comparison to modern games.
I also love Doom 1 and doom 2 monster designs, so it is not like you have to pit one against the other. What a shame htey never added an archvile to Doom 3, it fits in perfectly with that aesthetic.

But it was in Doom 3!
Though they didn't resurrect enemies, they just summoned more.

This thread dammit.
*Game actually prioritizes consistent 60 fps*
"Meh, looks kinda shitty. Looks like a late PS3 game."
*Game tries to recreate the fast, tactical action of Doom, but you know, do some things new too*
"The weapon loadout isn't identical to the original Doom? They changed the way the BFG9000 works!? BLASPHEMY!?"
This is why we can't have nice things.

I can't help but feeling that when they designed the PBR pipeline for their game they made a huge mistae somwhere. Everything looks so unbelievably fake in those screenshots. Especially the models.

Are you sure? I feel like I've seen an enemy get resurrected with this big flashy animation that lifts the enemy up Advent Rising style, and then they come back to life.
Thought it's been like 7 years since I played Doom 3.

Wait, what? How in the fuck did I not remember this? Did I block it from my mind?!
If I remember correctly, enemies' corpses vaporize on death in Doom 3. It could have been a certain scene when it happens though. But the closest animation I can think of is humans been possessed by lost souls.
Looks good. Though I'm not too keen on the imps (I think) looking more alien-like. Other than that I'm sure the game is going to look stunning in motion. All the latest screens I've seen have quite a bit of compression.
I don't know what this "pissfilter" talk is all about. Part of what they showed was set in a foundry with molten metal and smoke. That would most likely give things a yellowish look because of the lighting. The second part was set in Hell where they had gone for a fire, smoke, and sulfur type atmosphere. In that setting, once again, things would look yellowish.

Expansion for Doom 3.
The colouration on the Cacodemons and enemies in general was my main gripe with the graphics initially. It's good to see they've listened. I'm still not sold on the level design and gameplay but they've definitely moved closer to getting the look of Doom right since the reveal.
You've got so many iconic designs iD don't squander them. People will argue about whether the arms look good or whatever but those are instantly recogniseable as Cacodemons and that's the important thing.

To be fair, Doom 3 was ahead of its time.
Wonder if they still have their shit hole!!?

Nope. In the main game too! The only monster D3 really excluded were the Pain Elementals, and the Arachnotrons.

Ah.... that is why. I have only played through the RoE until a bit after you get the SSG.
Doom 3 targetted barley existing hardware and Doom (4) is targetting low end hardware @ 60fps.
Somethings gotta give of course.
I hope it scales really high up though! I mean... their tech team seems to be full of a bunch of competent people, so one can hope.

Archviles were in original Doom 3 (I don't remember about expansion), but maybe some people didn't see them correctly between lots of enemies and effects when they arrived! I hate them so much, in every Doom game.

I'm not sure... i mean FarCry 1 was already out and it had comparable graphics and in some ways it was even better (lush foliage, large open environments, better physics, etc). IMO at least.
Same goes for Riddick. This game looked almost exactly like Doom 3, with comparable lighting effects and all.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
AFAIK Doom 3's light and shadow rendering weren't matched by Source and CryEngine on a technical level, id Tech 4 introducing a far more complex method of unified shadow volumes and pixel lighting. It was unlike anything else out there.

I want to see Spider Mastermind in new Doom. Don't know why they didn't put that beautiful monster in Doom 3. its concept was awesome!
And this blue creature in tech demos was amazing too.

Yeah only if these made their way in. I love that Spider Master Mind concept!

Yeah but i forgot to mention Riddick (edited). That game had almost just as good lighting as Doom 3 and i think it was an earlier game too. It was also lighter since it could run on XBOX without sacrifices (the flashlight in Doom 3 on XBOX doesn't cast shadows).

I think! that CryEngine 1 (that engine from Far Cry) had stencil volume support (as well as bump mapping of course) that was used in a number of indoor scenes; which is basically that same thing doom 3 is doing. It probably is done in a different way though.
Indeed it did: : Finding Next Gen – CryEngine 2

Riddick too. But you know what, if so many games were ahead of their time... then none really was. Maybe it was the correct time.

While the new version looks improved, the eye color and glowing purple mouth removes the scare factor, the older version would have given me the creeps...
