So, is anyone else exited for Doom 4?
10 years ago
I actually have never played any of the fallout games, so I'm not as excited as everyone else seems to be.
I am, however, really excited for Doom 4 (or just "Doom" as they seem to be calling it).
Thoughts I had from the gameplay trailer:
• I hope enemies don't drop health in harder difficulties
• the revenant can fly now, apparently, so that's cool. Probably would make him a pain in the ass to shoot.
• Also he ripped both of Doomguy's arms off. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be a death scene or actually part of the plot. I hope that wasn't inspired by Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. That's the worst game franchise to take inspiration from.
• I also hope those takedown moves aren't required to kill enemies if you have weaker weapons, because those seem time consuming and inefficient and probably would get you killed if there are a lot of enemies around. The chainsaw was cool, but it also seemed time consuming to use.
• The double barreled shotgun was also cool. It seemed exactly like how it was in Doom 2.
I also liked the glowy red/orange aesthetics. It really makes it capture the same feeling of the old Doom 1 and 2 games with modern graphics.
• I also hope the release of Fallout 4 doesn't overshadow Doom 4's release, because id Software said at one point that they were aiming for Doom 4 to sell as many copies as Skyrim, so that means Doom needs to sell at least 230,000 copies within the first day of release on PC. Valve said Skyrim was the fastest selling game to date on steam (by the time the game came out)
• If Doom 4 doesn't sell well, then there probably won't be any more doom games, because none of id's founding members are left working for the company.
• But Wolfenstein: The New Order did surprisingly well, so there's that. I have my fingers crossed for Doom.
• Also ProJared made a good point: "...now I'm kind of curious what [Bethesda] has left for Quake Con"
