Doom: The Dark Ages Could Be the Series’ Boldest Reinvention Yet
Ойындар
Doom The Dark Ages could be the Doom series’ boldest reinvention yet! Doom: The Dark Ages promises a bold new take on the long-running shooter’s legacy. Revealed in a short but loud Doom The Dark Ages trailer as part of the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, the new Doom game features dragon riding, mech battles, and a much darker, more ‘metal’ visual palette. But those grimdark ideas aren't the only new elements, nor are they the most significant. For in the Doom Slayer’s left hand is a shield to protect him from demons. And in his right hand is a flail, the bludgeoning chain weapon of the middle ages. Yes, Doom’s going melee, and we've pored over the Doom The Dark Ages gameplay to find out what's new.

Doom 2016 was better. It actually made you feel like a BA through effort in a high-speed survival scenario. Eternal actively punished me for not conforming to its contrived game mechanics (you can only kill the weakest enemies via melee when they're blinking for some reason, and Cacodemons can only be killed with either A. a single grenade in the mouth, or B. YOUR ENTIRE SUPPLY of 50cal. bullets to the eyeball.), and so it just felt like playing a goofy platforming videogame.

The chainsaw, Crucible sword and hammer were *barely* melee weapons, more like resource generators and insta-kill buttons. I'd love to see more proper melee combat in Doom, and Dark Ages seems to be doing something like that.
The Flashlight in DOOM 3 was one of my favorite things; it forced you out of your comfort zone, & added to the Sci Fi Horror
Doom eternal is a masterpiece and still the only game that makes me laugh pure joy.
For anyone wondering what the song is at the beginning it’s monster truck by Jaron takach
Im liking the medieval setting
Wow , IGN making a Doom video without mentioning Toxic masculinity or overglorifying male power fantasy, or even white supremacy? , faith in humanity restored
It's not a reinvention like at all. It's literally the Slayer Testament from 2016 we're playing. It's a prequel not a reboot. TDA, 2016 and Eternal are a planned trilogy. Hugo Martin has said this the whole way through
Was hoping it was melee based game play
Wow that just went over my mind, so at the very basic stand point, DOOM GUY is a demon slayer ALL along.

Someone PLEASE tell me what songs were used in the vid
It's not a reinvention it's around the time Doomguy was living in sentinel culture after he was found.
The Das Boot / Spartan Kick; is an FPS Classic
Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal were both fantastic but Doom The Dark Ages looks like a real step up in terms of gameplay mechanics, the mech suit and Mecha dragon look amazing 😊

“It’s a risk I’m willing to take” -some dude
In DOOM Enternal the Ancient gods part 2; John Marcos Code name: Repper, was lost his Life But Now in DOOM the Dark Age, John "The Repper" Marcos has Return to Fight the Demons.
Just like Ahoy wisely said: Doom is a fusion of Hell, Sci-fi, and Fantasy.
a Quake DLC would be the cherry on top....
"what new direction can we take doom in?" "well, what inspired the original games?" "the evil dead movies?" "... ... brilliant."
Are they going to bring back death animations for slayer?
I’m here for it. Since this is a prequel, I’m hoping for the game to dive in on how the slayer actually joined the sentinels. Like one part, you play as the marine doom guy then you eventually play as the doom slayer. Now if there will be a multiplayer… please make it like 2016 doom. Doom eternal’s got boring real fast.

It’s a game about portals. Why couldn’t a space marine just portalled to this realm?
It's not a "bold risk". It's just even more rust, dust, and guts
The only thing better than slaying demons, is slaying medeival demons 😁
literally Quake
Doom is the definitive SOULESSLIKE game
Actually, Eternal was the bigger risk. Great game, but ID went a bit too silly in Eternal they also introduced a lot of mobility elements and cranked the difficulty up. Dark Ages, from what we know is actually more safe than Eternal was imo. It’s literally the slayer’s testaments made into a game. The visuals look more like doom 2016 and the demons look way less silly. The weapons are over the top with a medieval flair, but a skull shrapnel gun is something the slayer would absolutely use. Gameplay wise, Dark Ages appears to refine the complexity Eternal introduced. Of course, IGN is ret***ed and doesn’t understand DOOM at all.
