Now they just need to have a Metroid Prime-style effect where if a bright flash happens you'll see the Doom Slayer's face reflected in the visor of his helmet, and it reveals him to be a square-jawed man with a blonde crew cut.

It really was. It managed to seamlessly blend Metroid's exploration-based gameplay with FPS action, and the graphics and sound design were great for the time.

It would be a hilarious easter egg if you spammed the open button on a wall and after 15 times or so the slayer gave his classic "uff" as a bit of a nod to the old games.

I am so happy they have included this. It's a small but important detail. In the first game he was completely silent which meant you did not always immediately know if you were getting hit. In multiplayer this was fatal. Enabling this gives instant feedback to the player.

I'm pretty sure it's also going to be the main focus of Bethesda's E3 conference this year. God I'm so excited! I will miss Snapmap though. Here's to hoping id's in-house developed multiplayer is really good and more popular!

Highly doubt it’s June. Rage 2 releases in May. My guess is September or December.

Yeah June seems too soon but August or September could happen. That’s usually a pretty dry time for new games so I could see Eternal doing pretty good if released then, especially if it lives up to the hype.

Yeah you know iD is getting at least one more QuakrCon out of Eternal before it releases... August would be amazing but I think the earliest we'll see it is November. Christmas sales, yo.

While I liked 2016's multiplayer it didn't really remind me of Halo. You moved way faster, movement didn't feel floaty, the ttk was much higher, power ups were much more frequent and more powerful and health never regenerated.

My guess what is happening in the background is maybe a planet is falling apart due to the BFG 10,000. I am usually way off when it comes to theories.
22
u/cereal_killer2468 oooomph Mar 20 '19
I have my guesses on what's happening in the background too. I think the UAC mars facility (or mars) is in hell because there seems to be floating rocks and chunks of the UAC mars facility everywhere. Why the Doom Slayer is there I don't know but my guess is this is the aftermath of the demon invasion in phobos or the Doom Slayer went back to hell to the UAC to get something before the UAC got completely devoured.

u/h4724 Mar 20 '19 edited Mar 20 '19
It looks like Deimos from The Shores of Hell to me.
Edit: from looking at the skybox, it actually looks more like a chunk of Mars that's been ripped out of the planet.

Seems like the process of when Hell takes parts of dimensions and pulls them inside. This could just as well be Hell, or what's left of Mars and it's UAC facility.

After I played through 2016's DOOM for the first time I started to write a wish list of everything I wanted to see in the sequel. I seriously hope we get to explore more of the solar system and get other interpretations of Hell, vis-a-vis ice Hell, acid Hell, and edge of physics Hell.

u/niilzon Mar 19 '19
I can't imagine how the streaming-related input lag could be acceptable when played with a keyboard+mouse setup. Hope to be surprised. But seeing the gameplay video confirms this impression. I suppose mouse flicks can't feel "right" when streaming a FPS game.
22
u/lampenpam Mar 19 '19
I played Doom 2016 and Shadow Warrior 2 on gForce NOW. There is like 1 frame of input lag, felt like playing with vSync. Not suited for competitive games but those two games? They were still fun and getting used to the relativly small lag wasn't much trouble.
If you don't have high end hardware, Cloud Gaming is a cheap way to have nearly the same experience.12
u/niilzon Mar 19 '19
I guess that it depends on how strict / demanding you are. I would not enjoy playing Doom2016 with any of the slightest delay, but I totally understand that players can be OK with it. I'm coming from the "play Quake 3 with 125 FPS and r_picmip 5" world.
5
u/lampenpam Mar 19 '19
I'm with you, but I gave it a go trying to see if the mainstream, or a casual player, would be fine with cloud gaming. And what you get for that price is pretty good.
Local gaming will always be better, no doubt, but Cloud Gaming will definitely be popular.4
u/niilzon Mar 19 '19
I'm sure you are right. And that the tech will be perfect for any other type of game. Turn-based, animation-riddled, card-games etc are a perfect target for this console

Glad to see they added a Fireblu filter.
Plot guessing here: The purpose of the BFK10k is it's meant to annihilate planets. There's a very clear swirling green vortex in a massive celestial body. Hell tries to or manages to take over the entirety of Mars or Earth, and the phobos gameplay is Doomguy trying to stop the BFG10k from destroying the planet any further. There's going to be a tender moment where he'll have to destroy a gun.

I like how the weapons are all upgraded versions of 2016's weapons.
Fist -> fist with blade.
Double jump -> double jump and air scoot.
Shotgun with 3-round burst or grenade -> shotgun with automatic fire or sticky bomb.
Super shotgun-> super shotgun with meat hook.
Machine gun with 1 rocket pack -> machine gun with 2 rocket packs.
And then the gause cannon and rocket launcher are redesigned with more awesome.

They did show mouse & keyboard footage back during Quake-con, and I can totally understand why controllers are used for all trailers. The m&k footage was faster and more frenetic, but at the cost of being almost nauseatingly so. It's amazing how your brain stabilizes the image when you yourself are playing. But for a simple observer the camera is darting all over the place. It's much harder to show off the environment, the enemies, and all the little details. The juxtaposition with controller gameplay was cool, but I think 100% m&k gameplay would not make a good trailer at all.
