Very exciting. I loved Doom 2016, loved Doom Eternal, enjoyed the DLCs and am eager to see what they’ll do in the sequel.

early details of the next entry into the DOOM franchise, which was described to me as a ‘medieval inspired doom world’.

Sounds more like Quake, actually.

I can’t blame them at all if they want to throw some Quake in there too after kicking ass with Doom for almost 10 years in a row.

I remember the game director saying he doesnt want to make the same game twice (when they made eternal focus on using the right weapons and not just shotgun everythign) so this likely a new spin on doom formula again

Hmm. I liked 2016 because you could play it however you wanted. Eternal was too arcadey. I hope this one isn’t.

Might also be a return to the Heretic series.

This would make me so happy

Please get rid of the looney toons sound effects.

Completely ruined Eternal for me.

Edit: Do people actually like them that much? They make me feel like bugs bunny, not the doomslayer.

I don’t care if others enjoy the game, that’s fine. But Eternal is unplayable for me because of that tiny tonal shift that has me cringing to death every time I get a headshot or a glory kill, and I wish it weren’t.

Idk mood’s been soured for me ever since they threw Mick Gordon to the curb.

Yeah that was abslutely disgusting. Business conflicts happen, and sometimes you must make unpopular choices, but blatantly misleading people and publicly throwing somebody under the bus is not acceptable

Unironically the music in the new Doom games that Mick Gordon made was like at least half of my interest in playing them. It just pairs so well and makes the experience 100x more fun than it already is.

So no Mick Gordon + they way they treated the situation already has me soured as well. They’d have to have something extremely good cooking to win me back
