I'm going to watch it tomorrow when I have time. The first reaction here seems very good. The first one was a 9/10 and more of the same but better sounds awesome.

Makes me wish for the day that this team can finally touch Quake Single Player. It needs a return.
I wish more games would target 60fps on home consoles like this, and then I wouldn't be so tempted to spend stupid money on a high end gaming rig.
As far as Pro and X are concerned, I hope it's more Doom 2016 (pretty much locked 60fps on the X at least) than Wolfenstein II (unlocked 40-60fps framerate).
It just looks so much fun, fast and frantic. There just aren't enough games like this anymore. I hope the multiplayer gets a bigger following this time around, I love the small and crazy old-school sci-fi maps in games like this a lot more than the popular multiplayer games on the market.

Should just tie the universes directly together at this point. Have the Strogg as cyborg alien invaders while Shub Niggurath and her minions start flooding in now that the gates to Hell are opened.
They could implement this as an upgrade that lets you use the hook on enemies set for a glory kill who are too far to reach normally.
Kinda like the rune in the first one.
Check out Quake Champions. It officially launched out of EA today and it's great. It's PC only, though.
With DooMGuy, BJ and Ranger all being playable in Quake Champions, and talk of adding Fallout and Prey characters, my hope is that they turn that game into the Smash Brothers of early FPS games. Give us Duke, Caleb, the Quake 2 guy (Kennerman? Finnerman? something like that) and Lo Wang.
Yeah I really need to get a gaming PC.
Edit: just watched the trailer and holy shit that definitely looks like my kind of multiplayer game :)
I feel like Doom 2016's map design was good in that they were mostly linear, but in a way that wasn't too obvious. While the maps were big and had plenty of places to explore, they often contained points of no return (like one-way jumps, doors, and so on) that cut off large swaths of the map as you completed them to make sure that you never got too lost. Except unlike many games, the way maps cut you off was usually pretty well hidden, so you rarely noticed that you couldn't go back too far unless you went out of your way to look. And while there were a few truly open maps that let you do objectives in whatever order you wanted, the varied objectives were usually placed close enough together that didn't spend that much time just walking from point A to B with nothing to shoot at.
It led to just the right amount of exploration imo. You were rewarded for poking around nooks and crannies, but you never got too far away from where you were supposed to go next.
It's really good, and runs really well on most hardware too. Definitely check it out.
Animals attack when they're frightened. Fight or flight.
They're demons, so it's always fight.
Orgasmic visuals
Is the same doom guy? what happened the the design turning to be more edgy on the armor and weapons.
Also multiverse earth, did earth goverment was so dumb to open to portal to Hell

Yeah same doom guy they just turned up the notch on how powerful he's becoming, hence the blade and shoulder rocket launcher/flamethrower.
Of course they are and you know it.
Remember that Doom 2016 Earth had completely adopted Argent (Hell) Energy as its main energy source. Which means everything on Earth was powered by hell, and thought nothing of it because the UAC carefully hid or tried to downplay what they were actually doing to get that energy.
So yeah, they probably were that dumb.
I thought most of the Argent energy research use was on Mars, Dang it Humanity
Even the IA wants humanity to be friendly with the Demons, lol
I just want to point out that these kinds of posts are far more annoying than the posts that are pointing out statements that are suspect but otherwise giving the devs the benefit of the doubt (except for one poster who just stepped out - and I don't see anything wrong with that, either).
Mocking the entire idea of paying attention to these things is extremely questionable. I can't respect that.
Looks good, I like how there is a bit more brighter colors ala the gif above.
The grappling hook looks like a lot of fun flying through the air shooting baddies.

Not feeling it (yet, I hope). Was hoping for less gimmicks (here they add the melee blade, hook thing, pipes and other out of place stuff to interact with the environment instead of use your own mobility, the climbable parts which kill the speed, what else?), more pure gameplay, less arena focused fighting but otherwise similar to the last one.
So they've added a lot of vertical design to the levels, and given you the ability to really just fly all over the place, and that looks really fun. Less small arena focused, maybe? It would be good if they mixed giant open areas like this with the more constricted battle arenas rather than just getting rid of the arenas altogether.
Yeah looks like a good iteration on what Doom 2016 was.
Only thing I didn't like was the AI giving arch dialogue. 'demon can be an offensive term, please use mortally challenged' - look, it just ain't funny, and it's irritating. We don't need GTA style comedy layered over this, the gameplay and premise is over-the-top enough without constantly pointing at it and going 'look! aren't we so crazy? haha wow!'.
What exactly do you mean by gimmicks?

-misses all my grapple shot and shotgun shots-
Gonna be like that probably.
And it seems lots of people can't respect people who hunt for meaningless outrage. What a melting pot of perspectives we have here on Era :)
If this is actually a topic people feel strongly about, I'd suggest taking it to a separate thread instead of trying to hijack this one. I don't think anyone is interested in going through the motions of this pointless argument again.
Yeah, it's interesting how closely this seems to mirror the DooM - > DooM II update. Tech and engine is largely the same, but the core gameplay is getting enough cool stuff infused into it to keep it fresh.
Each time someone quotes this I die of laughter.
What an amazing glory kill.
The first game had a lot of this too, though?
"Please speak to your supervisor if you're interested in volunteering as a human sacrifice."
Yeah, I just pulled the trigger. $10 on Steam, so why not? I also just recently upgraded to a mid-range pc, so yeah, I should be fine. Can't actually play it until Sunday, but looking forward to diving in!
Or you could just drop it and not keep trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. It's really not that big a deal either way.
Your incessant desire to mock people because you see it as "meaningless outrage" (note: there was no "outrage" in those posts, just mild suspicion) honestly makes me wonder why you're even here in the first place. You know what kind of place RE is, right?
And no, there will be no thread for this. It's in the trailer, we're going to talk about it in the thread about the trailer. If a mod thinks it's "hijacking", then sure, but it doesn't look like that's happening.
Interesting you're telling me to drop it when I'm not the person who brought it back up after 3 pages of actual discussion. Also interesting you're questioning my intentions when your only posts in this thread seem to be trying to stir shit up again. If only I was capable of analyzing subtext, I'd be able to figure out what's actually going on here.
But sure, please, lets drop it.
Yeah I didn't like it there either - I only just remembered that the first one had some of this too. I think it's just because it's presented so prominently in this gameplay demo, it came off as especially obnoxious. I don't think they need to be adding this kind of weak comedy to what's going on. I know certain people will like it, but I think the attitude of the Doomguy is comedy enough, without words. No need to layer it on this thick, and especially with trite dialogue like 'demon is an offensive term'.
Not a huge deal though - I mean, I hope - it's just the only thing I had which I didn't like about what I saw.
Haaaa that's glorious :)
If i could see young me, i'd make me drool with that doom is nowadays.
edit the lil touches are great, red key, it's borderline poesy
