Anyone playing the new DOOM game?

[MikeGER]

original DOOM was a true historic event, a ground breaker at its time ...and i loved it to death O0
but its impossible for me to get all the innovation-steps that happend FPS-gameplay wise or 3D-worlds-to-explore wise in the decades since original DOOM out of my head.
I will not buy it. It has the nostalgia factor for sure, but i know i will simply not enjoy it.

Maybe its like today refunding (probaly a kickstart) Fokker and building a Fokker Dr I Triplane again but with our 21st century latest technology, composite materials and a digital displays cockpit, maybe even give it a HUD and  even experimental mini 'rail guns' instead of the 2 MGs 08 .... and sell it as a true-meant military plane for asymmetric warfare small conflicts or borderpatrol, smugglerhunting n'such.

It would be nice seeing a Dr I rolling down the runway in its all-red Richthofen paint job once again, ... but it just cant make a Phantom F4, a Warthog A10, a F16, or a F35  (not to speak about various choppers also) unseen.

I like your analogy Mike.  It might be a shinier, faster and better built triplane than ever before but ultimately it's still a triplane.  Feel that way about a lot of games these days but particularly about FPS games.  Though hmm, now I got a hankering for triplanes in Battlefield 1! :)

I played a bit.

Definitely closer to DooM/DooM2 than the 2004 thing was.

Has some elements I don't like from modern shooters, e.g. different damage on enemy depending on hit height. Console crap user interface.

Well i'm sure i'll be picking this up at some point, maybe a 75% sale during the holidays. It did get me in the mood for some doom game play. I'll load up Doom2 and and some mods and away ill go, so i did ;) and went to see what the community had come up with this time. Last time i played brutal doom with new monsters, weapons, ect. ect. this time it appears someone has gone beyond brutal doom, which was awesome, and added a bunch of new stuff. There's pretty much an option for anything, pick your weapons, monsters, what the monsters have for weapons, there's pretty much a setting for everything, spawn everything your way There's a new game play setting for dynamic progression. New monsters, 3 different levels of the stock monsters and more weapons then you can shake a stick at, there's just to much to list. This thing is fu**ing awesome and with all the quality map packs out there you have a neverending doomgasim. Not to mention you can add other mods to this huge mod. Not all that hard to get up and running either, just have to have a doom game[recommend doom2 engine, more map packs available], source port and i found a neat mod manager to swap mods in and out of or pick any map you want to play. The new package is called Brutal Doom: Project Brutality and from the menu you can play project brutality or brutal doom or stock doom2, have it your way. It seems with doom you can go home again. Here's a vid of a doom 2 level called " The Inmost Dens" along with project brutality i have an ambience mod, texture mod and a HUD mod running.

just found this, someone did up a card for all the maps from Doom1 and Doom 2 and other map packs. Here's the level above on the card.Its a bit of a cheat but hey if you get stuck.
