Hopefully its not as much as a fuck up as the bfg edition.

[QUOTE=Smug Bastard;39130223]Maybe Doomguy will have pretty eyeliner.[/QUOTE] That would ruin his character. If he had one.

I'll play Doom 4 if they embrace the nineties original Doom and ignore modern regenerating health cover based shooters.

Well, it's not like they'd release on last-gen. Id has always been big about pushing hardware, I remember when Doom 3 came out and nobody could run it on Ultra. It was the Crysis of its day. I can't imagine they'd ever try to cram their next game into eight-year-old hardware.

I enjoyed Doom 3 immensely, I don't understand all the flak it's been given. Then again I haven't really played Doom/Doom 2.

[QUOTE=demoguy08;39130525]I enjoyed Doom 3 immensely, I don't understand all the flak it's been given. Then again I haven't really played Doom/Doom 2.[/QUOTE] It was really different from the original doom games, it was still a good game and an amazing feat of engineering at the time like the first doom. But people disliked it because of how different it was, it did not have the extremely fast shoot em up, eviscerate their corpses in a demonic orgy of spurting blood and splayed organs pace of the first ones. That being said a mix between doom 3 and the original dooms, more lenient to the originals would be awesome for Doom 4, along with a more proper implementation of the sexy graphics RAGE had.

yeah, i'm agreeing with a few posts that doom 3 was not the doom i wanted if it's more of a horror/atmosphere game like doom 3 i won't be interested if it's more of a fast paced shoot em up ie the original dooms i'll probably get it

[QUOTE=demoguy08;39130525]I enjoyed Doom 3 immensely, I don't understand all the flak it's been given. Then again I haven't really played Doom/Doom 2.[/QUOTE] It was an alright game on it's own, but it wasn't 'Doom' per se. Take it from a guy who uses Doom in almost all his usernames. Without trying to put on too thick of rose-colored glasses, the original Doom games were about fast-paced alien-blasting with little sense of plot. There was a sense of a (hilariously cheesy) story, but the game never forced it on you. And never did it pause you for a pretty mid-game cutscene or stop the action for some story. Doom 3 turned the rabbit into a turtle. You no longer ran as fast as a cheetah and instead had a semi-jog around a super dark moonbase/hellscapes. The biggest offender of Doom 3 was that it had a slow pacing and rarely more than three enemies on screen at any time. Not only was almost every enemy introduced with a cutscene that let you go mono-e-mono before actually fighting them without warning; but there were never any big brawls. The original Doom games would sometimes pit you against 15, 20, 50 enemies at the same time. My hope for Doom 4 is that they embrace what made the originals good, take what gave Doom 3 some flavor and plot; and carefully hand-choose what current gen options to put in. Personally, I think they should have a classic-mode where there are no 'way-points', health doesn't regenerate, and so forth - for the benefit of not having to reload. There are some current-gen plagues, though, that we'll just have to live with. (Personally, regenerating health is fine to a very small extent. Not for a full health bar, but maybe up to 25%. You can tout old-school game mechanics all you want, but you're forgetting how much Doom/Duke/Quake all sucked when you got stuck with 5 health, no way to heal, and hit-scan enemies up a head.)

DOOM 4 FEATURING: Press C to go behind cover Press X to see in the dark Press 1,2,3 for your assault weapon, your secondary weapon, and a knife! Press MIDDLE MOUSE BUTTON to melee Some other shit. In other words, optimist side of me hopes that they do a decent job with it.

[QUOTE=Reds;39130501]I'll play Doom 4 if they embrace the nineties original Doom and ignore modern regenerating health cover based shooters.[/QUOTE] Sort of like Serious Sam 3?

I liked the horror aspect of Doom 3.. Maybe that's just me.. I hope they allow modding if they put it on PC because most of the games out now-a-days aren't allowing folks to mod at all killing off the mod communities of PC is pretty shitty just sayin'. But I guess DLC is more important than what people actually want.

I can hear the boxes right around the corner, but here it goes... My favourite version of Doom 1+2 is The Ultimate Doom, which came out on PS1. The soundtrack received a massive overhaul and as a result, instead of being an arcade shooter the game was transformed into a survival horror game. Absolutely terrifying, even on the easiest difficulty (maybe even more so, the sparse enemy placement and ambient sounds made everything a lot more tense). I think that's why I warmed up to Doom 3 so easily compared to other people who preferred the original experience.

I'd like a combination of all the previous games. Keep the number of enemies, the pace, and lack of complex plot from the first 2, with the fancy graphics, atmosphere, and interesting weapons (like the soul cube) from the 3rd. That's the kind of Doom game I'd like to see. Also, double-barrelled shotgun please.

Admittedly I have enjoyed playing all three doom titles. Even though doom 3 was different in many respects to 1 and 2, it was still enjoyable for me. I more hope they don't ruin doom 4 by implementing all the crap nowadays that have ruined great titles

I want a Double - Barrelled Rocket Launcher

Doom 4 should be based off the Doom comic.

[QUOTE=Reds;39130501]I'll play Doom 4 if they embrace the nineties original Doom and ignore modern regenerating health cover based shooters.[/QUOTE] I would rather not have a copy paste.

I've played all Doom games exept the 3rd. Am I the only one?

DooM 4, Patch 1.00: * Removed fun * Removed all the textures * Replaced all the enemies with blowup dolls that pop out of cover and squirt jam in your eyes * Added cover everywhere

[QUOTE=codemaster85;39130209]Hopefully its not as much as a fuck up as the bfg edition.[/QUOTE] Doom 3 BFG was just a re-release meant for consoles, and that was the intention. How was it a fuck up?

DirectX 10 now? :v:

Where are you getting this? Because it sounds like you're pulling it straight out your arses. Like, what's with all the [quote]DooM 4, Patch 1.00: * Removed fun * Removed all the textures * Replaced all the enemies with blowup dolls that pop out of cover and squirt jam in your eyes * Added cover everywhere[/quote] No Doom has been like that at all. Don't get me wrong I preferred Doom 1+2 to 3, but we know nothing about the game and people are already saying how awful it's going to be.
