DOOM Eternal Anticipation and Discussion Thread
- Thread starter AgentStrange
- Start date
I'd expect another big ass install/ download. Better make space now if you have to. God help you if you have McDonald's quality internet.
Awesome. The first one can produce some great images
if there's any part of DOOM 2016 you could call under-rated, it's the art direction
Oh, well I'm downloading both the campaign and the MP and it's coming up at 38gb..
I do agree with this. One of the many areas that Eternal seems to improve upon thankfully. Can. Not. Wait. (well, I guess I can)
After replaying Doom 2016 I hope you won't have to do those stupid challenges to get crucial upgrade points in this one.
It was literally a chore in the beginning of every mission to reset fights to get them over with so I could enjoy the rest of the level freely.

If I answer that it would be a spoiler. The artbook of Doom Eternal has been leaked and let's just say the story will answer your question.
Personally I feel like Doom 3 has the most underrated art direction, atmosphere & world building. When it's bright enough to see anything that is.
Oh yes. I was replaying it recently on nightmare and so much of my playtime was me looking for a good spot to farm required actions like certain glory kills, then dying on purpose to reset the encounter but not the number of recorded actions.

Yeah, I hope there are less of those. There are a few challenges I just ignored because I didn't want to play that way. I want to freely shoot demons, not soften up ten of them, then walk up and glory kill them from a certain direction.
I'm fine with those arena mini levels, but the achievements that make me farm x number of monsters in a certain way felt restrictive.
I think so. Doom 2016 is a sort of loose continuation of the originals, and Eternal seems to be a direct sequel to 2016.
That along with the points of no return in some maps are two things I hope they got rid of for good.
There still look to be points of no return, but there's a new fast travel system that lets you jump around the level to find collectibles.
This is insane. When I first heard he was working on a heavy metal choir, I expected something cool but this is, simply put, amazing. Mongolian chants, male and female growls alike, some pretty well-known artists involved too, all on top of course of a crazy good music. This game's soundtrack has the chance to be even better than the last game's, wow.
What's the pre-Doom 2016 timeline in terms of the games? I dropped off after Doom 2.
I'm not really sure because I didn't follow the story too closely either. All I know is that the doom 2016 guy is implied (through the lore voiceover things in Doom 2016) to be the same doomguy you played in doom 1 and 2.
Not sure if doom 3 fits into it at all.
I believe it is pretty linear with the exception of 3, Doom 1-2-64. I haven't read any Eternal spoilers yet, so I'm not sure if it tries to tie things together.
At the end of 64 doomguy decides to fuck off back to hell and wage war against demons for centuries, since time goes by way faster in hell than earth. I think that's where all the fear and legend of doomguy came from in 2016.
Doom 3 is its own thing in its own continuity, separate from either the classic games or the modern version.
HOLY SHIT SON
Ooohhhhh man that reminds me that I need to preorder this bad boy.
It was on sale for like 6 bucks up until a few days ago. Sorry pal :( But you should be able to find the game sub-10 for Steam on the usual key reseller websites.
6700k, 16gb, 1080. lolNzyme32 posted the PC Requirements in the PC Thread:
"Only" 50 gigs this time. The minimum requirements are high, my poor 970 lol
that's basically my old PC. my new PC will destroy this :) should have no problem at 1440p 144hz on high+ settings.
same. didn't need to really but this month has AC, Doom, Persona for me so would rather pay the money while i had it than worry about paying at launch. cost me £180 for the 3 games. sold my Rift and put the money towards these games since i'm not impressed by in HL Alyx.

Glad to see the helmet in the CE actually looks quality for the final product.
Also how the hell does GAME in the U.K have the CE or helmets already. lol

So first world problem here...
I have the collector's arriving on Friday of the release date, but I want to get started on midnight.
Any cheap PC keys out there to start playing as soon as it strikes midnight as opposed to waiting for CE?

Hey guys, trying to figure out which version to pre-order, does anyone think the DLC will be good enough to justify the extra 30$ or should I just pre-order standard doom?
We really don't have a way to estimate that. We don't have exprience from iD SP DLCs / expansions in long time.
If hesitant just go regular and get season pass later is DLC is dope.
Think I'll just do that, thanks!
I guess I'll just miss out on that sweet skin though! </sarcasm>
Doom 64 will release with a new chapter that happens just after the main campaign, and according to James Haley:
Maybe they're connecting 64 and 2016? The way 64 ends has been the main point of the Unified Doomguy Theory, so expanding on that and using it would be cool.

Hadn't even considered that, good idea. That would be totally sweet. I'm in full support of unified doomslayerguy.
