Fuck outta here ID with your bullshit

Dude looks like a generic fantasy mong

 

[Zacfoldor]

And you call AI slop?

This is terrible. It can't be real.

[Plague Doctor]

Just a man in sci fi armor with guns on a space station or in hell. It's really not that hard. Why does modern Id want to make this franchise a bad cover song for Hexen/Heretic?

I don't care about the design all too much in either direction. It's just alright if not aggressively boring. I just want to know what is Doom anymore. It's just dark fantasy catch all bullshit now and we are so far from sci fi core of the series. They don't need to remake Phobos and Hell on Earth over and over again, but shit...

 

[MMaRsu]

And you call AI slop?

Slop is slop, and AI slop is AI slop.

This is just pathetic design.

Why even remove his helmet in the first place?

 

[Cancer]

Ellen Page really went all the way. Damn.

 

[Gonzito]

Are you finding out now? We know how he looks since Eternal came out lol

 

[Zacfoldor]

[GymWolf]

At least he still has muscles and it doesnt ask demons their pronouns before brutally kill em.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

We've already known what he looks like for 30+ years

 

[ADiTAR]

Ugh, can this place not shit on everything every fuxking day?!

he looks fine, I'll fuck him.

 

[Stuart360]

Looks fine to me. Honestly after reading the thread title i thought it was going to be some rainbow armour alphabet people shit lol.

 

[GrayChild]

Much better.

 

[Gonzito]

You guys are fucking late to the party

 

[roosnam1980]

should have been a "bald space marine"

 

[Zacfoldor]

You guys are fucking late to the party

Those look great. The pic in the OP not so much.

[MMaRsu]

Ya that game was shit bro, turned it off when it started constantly interrupting me with shit ass tutorials

2016 is unbeaten

 

[Gonzito]

What? Its the same face lol

 

[Polaris]

The more they humanize the Doom Slayer, the less interesting he becomes.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I would have gone with something closer to this:

That said I do like the art Gonzito posted a bit better. It's really good. That img in the OP does not do it justice at all.

 

[Zathalus]

Thats what he looks like. Angry guy, rather generic. Rather the point really.

It's not like his face was hidden. He is hardly supposed to be Master Chief.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Because his armor and gear gets destroyed. If anything it makes more sense here than it did previously. But come on, we saw his face ever since the OG DOOM, it's not like it was hiding the entire time, lol.

 

[MDSLKTR]

"No" he is perfect

Yeah but he looks like a hobo from skyrim in the pic in the OP.

Little head. Unflattering. Wormy mealy looking guy. Beady eyes. At least give us a chad.

If nothing else it's bad art. Just doesn't capture the character fully imho.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Slayer design, I dont even understand this thread lol

 

[Holammer]

Well... It's a man, small victories.

It's just design concept art. Which usually uses several different styles before they settle on something. We have pictures of the actual game model and it looks good enough.

 

[MMaRsu]

Pic is straight from DOOM twitter by the way (yes its concept)

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Don't you guys ever go to Artstation and look up a game or movie, the results will offend you

 

[YCoCg]

Why are you getting angry at concept art?

MMaRsu you're just looking to be perpetually angry ain't you?

 

[Gonzito]

Its a concept art, the character model looks good man wtf are you smoking? This thread is starting to feel too Gay

 

[MiguelItUp]

Yup, and here it is ingame.

My understanding is that the DLC goes the route of removing everything the Slayer has, and he has to start from square 1. So, I feel it's the best way to physically show that he's "lost everything" and is "starting over" essentially.

Ehh

His face is just a bit stupid looking. Not gruff and cool enough. Maybe its the lameass haircut. Bro should be rocking long hair at least. Maybe a mullet.

I guess he goes to a barber often

 

[wreckyat]

Shesus. We out here passing judgment on the look of a male protagonist of a video game now?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Fuck outta here ID with your bullshit

Dude looks like a generic fantasy mong

His ears are one third the size of his head.

 

[Stuart360]

I mean i could say it would be nice if he looked a little more grizzled looking in the face, maybe more scars on the face and body, but its nitpicking really and he does look similar to the old floating head on the ui from the orig DOOM.

Its also worth remembering that Dark Ages is a prequel to the other games.

 

[Zannegan]

Would have been cool if they gave him an ancient helmet to go with his weapons, but otherwise it's fine, IMO.

 

[StereoVsn]

Are we looking into character motivations and looks of Doom guy now? Lol.

Doom guy gets guns and shoots demons. It's ok if he is not Mr Chad Chadtastic.

While the OP pic is a bit generic, it's not the end of the world.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I mean, when you're trying to keep the character looking like the character...

I personally feel like they did a good job.

Long hair? A mullet? Come on man, lol.

 

[simpatico]

With any luck Asha will drag id out behind the barn and put it out of it's misery.

[GriffinCorp]

I think he looks very DOOM like.

It looks better in 2d if you ask me!

Hahahaha cmon papito this is not the way

 

[IFireflyl]

I'm joking, man. I just don't see what you're seeing. I'm fine with the character design. It's the women in Western games that I have a problem with.

What if the DOOM slayer teamed up with
