I've been kinda eh on Battlemode but I'm watching the preview stuff from yesterday and it actually looks pretty dope
Are master levels DLC? I just heard them say that the one they're playing on is a pre-order bonus and that they'd release more over time so it's weird when they also mention you can unlock them by beating the levels first like you can just unlock them through normal play.
Any word on photomode?
I will probably leave RE3 and FFVII for the end of the year, but this one I want to play at launch.

I finished my first playthrough of Ultimate Doom and Doom 2 yesterday, I needed some Doom in my veins and right now I feel like... I just want more of the same, straight to the action, no talk or walking, just monster after monster
''please kill me'' - Hugo Martin on the inside
I will never understand why they bring these completely clueless people to demonstrate their game, I could play better with one hand while using the d-pad as aiming....

Awesome. The first one can produce some great images
Wow. Is that PC or console? Everyone said photo mode was on console but I never saw the option. Lol
Console. It's available only if you select the missions through the menu.

I couldn't remember the release date but knew it was coming soon. Maybe 5 days ago my spotify started having a doom eternal commercial on all the time. I got excited and thought how did I miss this being out already must be the first day. Get online and see March 20. Wasn't paying attention to the "preorder now ending."
Not cool Spotify, not cool at all.

Yikes, that was bad.
I blame the marketing folks and even coordinators. How many people do they suspect are basketball fans and Doom fans? They'd be way better off inviting any well known Doom Youtuber to demo their game. They'd produce way more compelling game play, far better commentary and be genuinely excited for the opportunity too.
I wonder if history is repeating itself and Nvidia is preparing a 4k60 kb&m video that shows, you might say, The Way It's Meant to be Played™.

I watched all of it and I was totally into it! Was kinda surprised.
cant wait to play slayer and marauder
To be fair I don't think they're trying to market to Doom fans as much here. Between this sort of thing and the odd-fitting soundtrack selection for their TV spot it's clear they're really trying to catch the attention of the more casual/wider audience. Whether they're successful in doing so or not is another matter.
The audience for a Doom YouTuber playing Doom is pretty much going to be someone who's already planning to buy Doom Eternal. Feels like they've done a solid job giving those sort of content creators some access to the game anyway.
Still, someone like TheSpudHunter, GmanLives or Civvie 11 would do a better job at showing the game's potential and what it's about to those casual players. Then again, their names don't resonate as well as whoever they had from the Celtics, among those who aren't familiar with Doom.
Having Markiplier and jacksepticeye demo the game a week or so ago was definitely a smart move, especially Mark since he legitimately loves the franchise.
I think day 1 there is pre-order one and Master variant of every campaign one, then they add more custom ones over time.

Nice! Deluxe edition it is then! I had no idea there was going to be sp doc for this. And id has earned enough trust imo to deserve the upfront buy...
Hugo using the flame hook to get armor, chainsaw to cancel the hook animation, and get the ammo AND armor pick-ups were next level

The next-next level play is upgraded ice bomb + fire hook + chainsaw so you get HP, Armor and Ammo.
I really love the references to Doom history in the Doom cave. Having that skateboard (Doom guy was playable in one of the Tony Hawk games) was unexpected yet awesome.
Can't wait to see what more cool stuff they have in the game. I am hoping for Doom 3 weapon skins and classic weapon styles from Doom 1,2 and 64.

I can't wait.
...for the master levels, not your death, I mean 👀👀👀

All enemies should be just as fast and tanky as they normally are, just hit A LOT harder.
Marauder looks like good piece on the board.
I watched the whole panel, the Fortress of Doom showcase they did before this part was awesome, they really went all out.
Watching now
FYI:
Fully customizable controls. Customizable weapon wheel too.
Awesome.
I love all the Doom games for various reasons, I love the level design they've shown here, the graphics and art direction look fantastic, the options available look great. Sorry if this sounds like a concern troll, I am getting really excited for this, but with all the new vids popping up ... it's SOOOO fast, to the point where I'm actually worried if I can even play it. All the preview vids are just insane with all the constant enemies and 360 degree movement. I can't even tell what's going on. I can't follow what the person playing the game is even looking at, much less what they are doing or what they are keeping track of. I mean, I love games like Shadow Warrior and Serious Sam, but this seems like a whole new level of speed. Can you all follow this stuff? Am I just getting old? Am I alone in this?
I'm just about done doing the same. Can't wait for more Doom. And DLC this time, good lord. I want to only play Doom for the rest of my life.
Doesn't look any faster than 2016 to me. They're just actually promoting it on PC this time rather than console.
It will be fine if you play it on the lower difficulties. What footage are you watching? Master Levels (recent youtubes posted) are played on Nightmare.
The demo that Hugo played was a Master level on Nightmare. Basically the hardest mode possible, hence why everything was absolutely mind numbingly fast.
I don't know, this is what I want. Balls to the wall insanity. Everything cranked to twelve, fuck eleven. I couldn't be more hyped. This and Prodeus look soooooo good. I hope these games spark a Renaissance of sorts for these types of old school shooters. I'm tired of all the scripted, cinematic bullshit.
I'm a 31 year old "Boomer" gamer too. My Destiny buddies (who are 19-24) call me a dad gamer, despite me not being a father or married (I work full time unlike them).
Like few mentioned latest footage is on Nightmare Master
1) Nightmare == Enemies are very aggressive (shot every second) and every hit hurts A LOT
2) Master == More enemies per encounters from whole pool, it's why there is Cyberdemons on 3rd map of the game
Don't do Master level and crank that difficulty down notch or two and you will be fine. Game slows down when enemies attack less frequently and don't hurt so much. It still should be faster game than DOOM 2016, but not require level of twitch and movement that it does on Nightmare Master.
