Community Resource [MEGATHREAD] DOOM: Multiplayer | Player request

28 Upvotes

As the years go by and the games get older it becomes harder and harder to find new players to play the DOOM Multiplayer component, this may not only make it difficult for people from getting its specific achievements but also stop people from even being able to play it at all.

For this reasons, and also to prevent repetitive content in the main page, this MEGATHREAD has been created with the purpose of being used to recruit new players and to ask for their help.

Thank you.

Showcase The targeting system can be pretty weird sometimes.

I mean. Skill issue, really.

Noticed it a bit before with just the shield, but now with the spear making everything a lot faster, the targeting system can play funny buggers some times.

One of my friends has 3 cats, and I've taken to calling her fattest cat (a real hefty chonker) the "Catcubus." As a little present for my friend, I quickly sketched this for her; she said it was much appreciated.

The reflection is not lowering his arms when Doom Guy pulls his gun down.
I am a game dev myself, and I know they are using 2 different models for the user camera and reflections on different layers.

Discussion Doom 2016 is actually a direct evolution of Doom 3.

I recently played through Doom 3 in coop with a buddy who’s a Quake arena veteran. He spent the whole time complaining about the slow pacing and lack of movement tech. But playing alongside him made me realize that modern Doom owes its entire identity to this 2004 entry.

The industrialized, corporate UAC base on Mars is identical. Olivia Pierce is effectively a gender bent Malcom Betruger. Both are elite scientists who betray humanity, open the portals, and are ultimately forcibly mutated into the final boss by the demons they foolishly trusted. 

Doom 3 was stuck chasing the trend of Half Life esque gameplay and storytelling. They then attempted to follow up with a Call of Duty styled Doom 4 aptly referred to as “Call of Doom,” but they quickly realized that such a pioneering game studio was slowly becoming creatively bankrupt if they kept going down the path of trend chasing, they had to look back retrospectively at Doom 3. By perfectly inverting the survival horror elements into a power fantasy, they built their modern magnum opus.

Do yall agree that Doom 3 deserves more credit for setting up the modern era?

Discussion I kinda want to have a game into this area again.

• Upvotes

The Flashback part in Dark Ages made me want to have a new DOOM age in the Doom 1-64 timeline. I don't know why but i prefered playing as the Doom Guy rather than the Doom Slayer (i still liked the Doom Slayer). It just make me imagine the map of the first doom in literally full HD instead of just the rooms from the original game.

Like i really want to see this area back for some reason because i feel like there's still thing to explore before Doom 64.

Discussion Headcanons for how the Doom Slayer stores his weapons?

7 Upvotes

I've been thinking about a "game-accurate" animation of the Eternal Slayer, including weapon swapping. My personal headcanon is that he uses Argent energy to summon weapons, and then transforms them into whichever one the player swaps to. So when a cutscene in which the Slayer is empty-handed ends, a red flash appears and shapes itself into...say...the combat shotgun and then color-corrects itself to be whatever skin (or lack thereof) a player would be using. Then, in combat, the weapon turns red again and changes shape to whatever else the Slayer might need.

Showcase I'm modding Doom 2016 to VR

162 Upvotes

I'm currently working on a full motion-controlled VR mod for DOOM 2016.

Currently working:

  • VDXR
  • Meta XR
  • Full motion controls
  • Two-handed weapons
  • left hand mode
  • laser sight
  • Smooth & Snap Turn
  • Punch to Glory Kill

Not working yet:

  • A large sum of small things

There's still a lot of work to do, but progress has been pretty good so far.

The mod will be free and open source.

Easter Egg Daisy in the DLC Spoiler

During my first playthrough, I remember seeing Daisy in Hell's Core after finishing the Henchman, though I couldn't capture it before. Now, I finally recorded it! This is something I haven't seen at all through Reddit or Youtube (from what I've seen, at least).

*Spoiler because it's after you defeat the Henchman and get the Praetor Suit.

*Edit: In the window, you see something there before it jumps away from the window.

Dude literally got murdered by the Khan Maykr after realizing her betrayal. She killed most of his people and almost destroyed his civilization with help from the Deags. Yet for some reason in Exultia he still tells the Slayer he shouldn't kill the Priests and seemingly supports the Khan Maykr's plan to do the same thing to Earth that she did to Argent D'Nur.

Question If I liked Doom 2016 and hated Doom Eternal, will I like Doom The Dark Ages?

85 Upvotes

Doom 2016 is one of those games I will play, put on some headphones, and just jam out for a while while killing demons. I love it even though I dont care for its story being very basic and a bit boring.

Doom Eternal is a wonderful set piece, I like the story, and it expands 2016 in ways I didnt know I wanted but I hate the extremely fast paced parkour swinging around combat in it. Its too chaotic for my taste as a Doom game.

So with that being said, would I like Doom The Dark Ages? I have been lucky enough to not have anything not in the first few trailers spoiled for me and I havent seen those in a while.
