DOOM: THE DARK AGES (DOOM 6)

[oneselfSelf]

I said it before in a different post awhile back but genuinely I don't think I'll be interested in this one. Maybe I'll look into it a bit but Eternal wasn't exactly my cup of tea and I'm sure the game will just be Eternal 2 gameplay-wise.

[Zirtonic]

I wouldn't totally dismiss the potential of some type of Quake tie-in. Hugo explicitly mentioned Cthulhu and cosmic horror back when he was streaming himself playing through Eternal. And I mean, Eternal already has portals and 10 foot Barons just waiting to be reskinned into Slipgates and Shamblers.

 

What I personally want is a Quake game with the Quake Champions iteration of Ranger, but I know that's a big enough risk that it's probably not plausible.

I don't agree with that 

 

For me the game would be different from eternal like eternal was from 2016 

 

Martin was explicite with this idea during the livestream

I hope I can be proven wrong then, until then I won't think much of it

It would suprise me if Doom 6 was a eternal 2 of some sort 

 

For me Eternal already give everything he has in the dlc

 

there no point to go further

Inb4 it’s actually Quake but they want us to think it’s Doom until it’s revealed. Wishful thinking anyways. 
 

But really, I just want something for Doom that takes away the over the top power trip stuff and makes you feel more like a space marine action hero, with some horror elements, less arena shooting BS, actual deathmatch that feels like they actually gave a shit, stop calling him Doomslayer, etc. Maybe medieval ruins of another planet that the demons have infested that Doomguy has crash landed on. 

 

Edit: Yeah nope. Not what I was hoping for but oh well.

Yep, Hugo Martin had mentioned not only the likelihood of the Maykrs ultimately devolving into Cthulhu-like beings, but also the gameplay being much slower but more powerful.

 

I believe the phrase he used was something like this:

”If Doom Eternal was a sports car, this next game will be more like a monster truck.”

[Lila Feuer]

If Doom Eternal was an RC car then the next game will be more like a tractor. - Humongous Martian

the next game will be more like a splitscreen van with a sexy faerie airbrushed on the side

People who think Deternal is just an empty godmode power fantasy have clearly never played on ultra nightmare difficulty!

 

I'm not thrilled about the possible oversaturation of Doom releases, but Army of Darkness is one of my favorite things ever, so, I guess I'll be excited about this. Still waiting on that Quake 1 reboot, though!

Screw DOOM x Heretic crossover, I want a DOOM x Catacomb 3D crossover.

Catacomb 2 had a "Tomb of Desparil", so who's to say a Catacomb crossover isn't also a Heretic crossover?

Before this goes too off topic, I think we can all agree this sounds even more uninspired than the previous doom cash-in, and that latterday Id should just throw in the towel 👍

Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming has reported that on June 9th at the Xbox Showcase. The next game in the Doom series will be revealed as Doom The Dark Ages though it was previously known as Doom Year Zero internally.

The Insider states that this game has been in development for around 4 years. and was described as a "medieval-inspired doom world."

This is an assumption from my end but this may take place between Doom 64 and 2016 when the Doomslayer worked with the night sentinels. And it will be more like Army of Darkness to Doom Eternals Evil Dead 2

here is the article describing this, the reporter is very accurate and others have been pointing to a new doom to be at the Xbox showcase.

So, if Doom 6 is next in line for ID, what do you hope or expect to see?
Other than that, ID may be stuck in the doom mines for years instead of making a quake reboot to attempt to prevent Microsoft from closing them like Tango Gameworks and Arcane Austin.

i am litteraly going insane i thought betheda would shut down id for sure i almost had a heart attack reading this and  probably will when a trailer comes out

Agreed, but it takes a brave person to kill a cash cow.

[YeOldeFellerNoob]

DOOM is DOOM. Can't wait for this one. More DOOM Eternal is exciting, and with a whole Dark Ages theme at the same time. Friggin' sweet.

I dont but ok 👍

[TMMMS]

i dunno if i would call a doom game that looks and feels like the gmota mod someone else brought up earlier uninspired

 

what would be uninspired is another doom game set on mars where all hell breaks loose literally because of the uac once again

 

but even then if its fun and its done well i dont mind at worst im just not gonna play it thats all

[Noiser]

I'm a bit dissapointed as I found the "medieval" part of Doom Eternal the weakest and most generic of the game. But hey, who knows... I'm still curious to see what's gonna be. I would like to see a heretic\hexen crossover at least.

can we just get like a new commander keen or wolfenstein game pls

[fruity lerlups]

i just want the gameplay to not be push-forward get out of jail free nonsense

https://youtu.be/Icv14YCupxc?si=PhVtbxCVznl-kqvJ

 

Also just to confuse people like Doom Eternal and Eternal Doom, they should call it Doom: New Gothic Movement

I'm quite optimistic from what I've read. A Heretic/Hexen reboot is currently looking unlikely because of the Activision IP issues, so a possible way around that would be to set a Doom game in a Heretic/Hexen type universe, and it sounds like this may well be what they're doing. I can also see potential for nods to Quake such as the Lovecraftian elements. But I do tend to think the gameplay will need tweaking a bit from Doom Eternal to make it work, leaning more upon atmosphere and less upon the arcadey side which, while fun in Doom Eternal, may not work as well in a medieval setting.

The only thing I want from Doom 2 is more playful levels. I think the level design of both 2016 and Eternal are really damn good, but Doom 2 preyed on player expectations. There aren't any "tricks and traps" so to speak, and they only barely scratch that itch in Ancient Gods 1.

dashing, double jump and meathook make the level design almost meaningless

hell yeah, let’s get a 3D platformer, Commander Keen 64-esque title where the graphics look like the shitty polygonal look back in those days.
