Wow, I kinda wish I didn't see some of that since it's a bit spoilery.

NM I'm stupid that's basically just a cut of all the stuff I skipped through in the other video.

I was going to say. Looks neat I guess, but only reinforces my desire to create a game with original DOOM style gameplay.
There are plenty of people making these boomer shooters right now.

Yeah, there's Warhammer Boltgun, which isn't bad - but I guess I just don't understand why I don't play Doom every time I play it.

Which, also, Doom with all of the modern patches and tech still results in completely fine gameplay. Game is absolutely solid still in 2025

Doom meets Pacific Rim? Doom Kaiju battles? I am running a 4080 Super with recently purchased 244 MHz x 4K x 32 inch monitors. This may be a perfect showcase!! Mah power bill!

Anyone else just not a fan of Doom Eternal and therefore don't really care about this?

I mean I loved Doom 3, still enjoy the classic 1 and 2, and I even liked Doom 2016, but Eternal just never did it for me.

For me, 2016 was enjoyable except for ammo acquisition (chainsaw melee), and then they doubled down on that in Eternal + too much rainbow puke (if the screen ain't painted red, it aint Doom) + platforming. Eternal was the first Doom game I haven't played. If they are gonna Diablah4 the new one (Diablah4 = Diablah3 DLC), I won't bother.

Yeah IMO Eternal signaled a significant change in the Doom games. If you compare Doom 3 to Doom Eternal they basically have nothing in common outside of being FPS where you shoot demon creatures. While 2016 felt like sort of a throwback to Doom 1 and 2, Eternal felt like they turned it into a game where you simply platform around until you get to arena areas where you need to need to do a mini horde survival challenge basically, rinse and repeat with things getting more difficult until the game is over.

It's just not focused on what I liked about Doom games. If this is just more Doom Eternal I'm just not interested, feel like I have experienced enough of that when I tried to play through it on Gamepass while I had it.

Looks kinda cool but I hope they have exploration/secrets etc like doom 2016. I didn't like the rock paper scissors shit from eternal. The fact that everything is super open in the trailer makes me think its just gonna be more arenas.
Doom 2016 was GOAT modern Doom. Eternal was fun but I definitely prefer 2016.

It's not an uncommon sentiment. I prefer 2016 as well. Eternal wasn't bad but 2016 was juuuuuuust right.

I dunno why you guys keep typoing that 016 behind Doom 2. Must be some weird macro.
