They're essentially trying to make it closer to the original doom games

It sounds very promising

Thank you for the link! This specifically ...

"But for long-time fans of the series, people who played the original Doom, you'll see it's really a return to form."

... IS THE BEST NEWS EVER!!!!!!!!!! Oh man, my excitement just shot up for this. Bring. It. On.

Yeah I do like how they aren't afraid to experiment with their formula.. for AAA it's very refreshing to see them think outside the box but still have a big budget title.. every Doom game they have made mixed up the formula and experiments every single time so far

That said, nothing will ever top the original games. I do think they realise that what they make isn't intended to replace the original games but honour them

Honestly I will play the old games until the day I die, especially when the community never stops making amazing new content

I actually would really like to see the modern id software make a smaller budget doom game using something like gzdoom, looking at the things that selaco is doing I think they could make something really special

Quoting: IronownerI look at streets of rage (both of them) and I am so confused. What the hell is this game about? :grin:

I had never looked at the first game but always just assumed it was a Streets of Rage clone lol

I tried gourdlets the other day when I read your article

It was fun to build things but I was expecting more from the ai, they didn't seem to do much apart from weirdly just hanging out in the cemetery

I'll probably try Schim next :smile:

Quoting: Jarmerechoing what others have said here: As long as it's more like the 2016 game and not Eternal: bring it on! Eternal was not a Doom game, it was a silly platforming weapon management sim. The devs completely forgot what was fun about Doom when they made that game.

Just keep it simple! This is Doom we're talking about. Does it really need building size mechs? I'm not sure. I'll wait for some more previews to see if this is even interesting to me at all. Time will tell.

I enjoyed both but prefer eternal over 2016 myself

I find it too easy to cheese in 2016, I'd just spam RL and SSG and win without really putting any thought

The gunplay didn't have the same "oompf" factor either, enemies chunks coming off as you shoot them made a BIG difference in eternal

The trailer for dark ages seems like there's no hook for the ssg, and looked more grounded so maybe it won't be like eternal were you're basically flying around like superman lol

I never got into it either,picked it up on gog years ago, like you tried it for 20 minutes wasn't really my cup of tea

I do like the metro games though

My favourite thing about this trailer was that gun feeding heads into it

More doom is never a bad thing!

What I find annoying in this particular case, they didn't give people much time

Pretty sure most companies give people time to buy them, and normally put them on sale at the same time

Quoting: Mountain ManWhy do people keep poking the bear? It's not like Nintendo is going to suddenly say, "Fine, you win. We will stop attempting to protect our intellectual property rights."

Yes, why do people keep doing what's right in the face of an idiotic legal system. Silly protesters with their values. We'll never understand. When the deck's stacked against you, just roll over immediately, that's what I say.

Yes, let's just ignore all laws we don't like or find inconvenient. Anarchy always works out the best for everybody.

The home country of Nintendo (Japan), the legal age of consent was 13 years old. This was only changed last year.

Law has nothing to do with right vs wrong.

Nintendos only official way to play this game is with a subscription service, which offers sub-par emulation. Compared to this, which offers high resolution, high framerate, widescreen and more.

Yes I'm sure they're loosing SOOOO much money because an old n64 game now has a pc port /s

I really doubt Nintendo would be able to do anything to stop this, especially when it's already out there (like yuzu)

Thankfully because they released their recompile tool for others, it means we're going to see ALOT more Nintendo 64 ports to come 😊

Amazing what fans can do
