DOOM: The Dark Ages launches in May, and when it does it’ll launch without any sort of multiplayer mode. In a meeting with select members of the press ahead of the Xbox Developer Direct event on Thursday

YESSS CAN'T WAIT WHERE'S THE COLLECTOR'S?! Lmao

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Zoomers will hate it because there's no pop up every 3 seconds asking you to buy the rest of the campaign.

Literally only bad thing I could say is the music is suss as of now. Justice for Mick.

 

[LectureMaster]

Damn, the team is incredible talented. For every new Doom game they drastically change the gameplay style and every time it looks fun as hell.

 

[Golgo 13]

Can’t wait for this. Day one PS5? Nice

 

[Killjoy-NL]

I can see why it's called a boomer-shooter.

Cool for the fans, I suppose.

name checks out.

 

[Mortisfacio]

I want the soundtrack ASAP.

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

FUCK YES!

 

[VAVA Mk2]

Rip and tear!

 

[Shubh_C63]

This literally tweaked and solved all my problems I had with Eternal.

Doom 2016 was my favorite FPS.

 

[Redneckerz]

why are you so negative?

 

[ResilientBanana]

Title of this thread is wrong as fuck. Also there's another thread.

 

[MiguelItUp]

YESSSSS LET'S GO!

 

[mèx]

Hopefully it's an actual FPS this time and not a management game.

 

[Hero_Select]

I can see why it's called a boomer-shooter.

Cool for the fans, I suppose.

Some of you will never be happy no matter what they show. It's sad.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

name checks out.

Rather have an echo-chamber?

 

[Big Baller]

 

[ResilientBanana]

Rather have an echo-chamber?

No, but also, there aren't many games like this on the market. It's nice for Doom to keep delivering.

 

[Bry0]

Almost reminds me of serious sam with slow projectiles and big maps for strafing. Looks fun

 

[tomato shrub]

They really didn't understand the appeal of 2016... who the hell asked for "blockbuster storytelling" and open world exploration in Doom? I still liked Eternal, but that game already had too much lame modern gaming tropes in it. This franchise needs to be a boomer shooter and nothing more IMO.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

GOTY GOTY GOTY

 

[Killjoy-NL]

why are you so negative?

Some of you will never be happy no matter what they show. It's sad.

Is it so weird that there are some people like me who don't like archaic games like this?

Like I said, they're called boomer-shooter for a reason.

 

[phant0m]

THIS is my Doom and what a sequel to 2016 should’ve been

 

[Killjoy-NL]

No, but also, there aren't many games like this on the market. It's nice for Doom to keep delivering.

Fair enough, I'm happy for the fans, but I already said as much.

 

[Bartski]

Looks damn great albeit still bit too colourful in places. Not to stir shit but its an easy day one for me on the Pro despite getting it „free” on subscription elsewhere.

 

[Redneckerz]

Is it so weird that there are some people like me who don't like archaic games like this?

No, but why are you posting then? You literally are doing your username proud.

Rather have an echo-chamber?

This is the classic ''If you have nothing to contribute, don't'' for me to you.

If you just listed anything you didn't like on the trailer, that would be great. But you couldn't even get there.

I think it looked great, especially the dynamic playstyle system.

 

[Skitso]

Hmm, seems to fix a lot of things that bothered me in Eternal, but somehow it still doesn't look - I don't know... shooterish enough? Combat looks too QTE and MMO skill cool down-esque for my liking, but it might not feel like that when I get my hands on it.

Cautiously optimistic though.

 

[Msamy]

Just Amazing.

 

[Ainem Enamas]

I'll be waiting for that day

 

[Chuck Berry]

Wonder who they got to do the music this time around...

 

[Lokaum D+]

never played any of this new Dooms, one they i ll play it

 

[Robb]

Very cool looking game, wish I enjoyed these.

 

[adamsapple]

Wonder who they got to do the music this around...

They say in the video it's an award winning studio called Finishing Move.

 

[Kurotri]

Fantastic look, it looks amazing. But I gotta say, you can really feel Mick's abscence. Not feeling the music at all.

 

[DanielG165]

I can’t believe this is coming in May. Absolutely nuts.

 

[rodrigolfp]

I can see why it's called a boomer-shooter.

Cool for the fans, I suppose.

In what universe Doom TFA is called boomer-shooter??

 

[xVodevil]

I still can't make up my mind whether this gonna be awesome or just very weird with the setting chosen
Probably day 1 though, Doom 16 was great, Eternal was way too limited and game mechanic based

 

[Moses85]

Switch 2

 

[Gonzito]

Cant wait papis

 

[MiguelItUp]

[GymWolf]

Did i spotted a sparta kick?

 

[Musashipan]

Yeah baby

 

[MALpractice311]

As others have said, this preview makes me think they listened to a lot of the feedback from long time Doom fans and undid a whole lot of the changes they added in Eternal, which felt more like a character action game and a resource management simulator.

Edit: Ugh. I just got to the part with giant robot suit and the dragon. Fuck. What is so wrong with making a straight forward throwback to Doom in the 90s? You know, like they did very successfully with Doom 2016? Fuck.

 

[The_Observer]

Daaamn, finally something for the chuds. F’n awesome. id is back to show how it’s done. Who would have thought in the 90’s they will still rule the industry in 2025.

 

[adamsapple]

Amazing key art.

 

[amigastar]

Definitely the highlight of this direct for me. Can't wait, i would have liked some release on March or something but whatever.

 

[Senua]

"Boomer" is a term used by tik toking tweens

 

[Ristifer]

Looks excellent. Loved both 2016 and Eternal.
