Doom reboot

[AluminumHaste]

It has been almost 11 years since Doom 3 came out (August 2004), I'd say it's about fucking time it got rebooted.

A great contemporary example of a reboot would be DmC Devil May Cry. This is not your father's Dante.

They should rather bring back the nonlinear maps of the old games.

My religion is DOOM. This looks more like QUAKE II than DOOM. It looks even more like Brutal QUAKE II (I made that up, you get the point). I'm very hesitant on it. I hope that it is really hard, as some other posters brought into the discussion.

I'm a little leery of the takedowns I saw in one of the early videos. Everything looked great until then.

Brutal DOOM has a neat feature where you can kick barrels across the floor to where enemies are standing and then blow up barrel. If they were gonna emulate Brutal DOOM concepts and make it AAA, please carry over cool features. The chainsaw blade isn't nearly bloody enough for me. I know, I'm being really picky.

It is 2015 and still almost every texture looks like wet plastic... except when it is blood on plastic, then it looks like glossy nail polish...

The engine is supposed to have PBR (physically based rendering) but the lighting model they are using appears to be pretty "stylized".

It's probably a victim of the same problem we've had since 2003, marketing dept doesn't think the effects "pop" enough. They need real shiny shots.

So a big middle finger goes to the art teams and engine coders and the final result is a shiny mess.

 

Maybe they'll tone it down before the final version?

I thought Doom 3 was a reboot.

Hmm... no.
