No, you reboot Heretic/Hexen/Hexen II, not Quake for medieval (which I guess at the end did use a modified Quake engine, however the first 2 used the DOOM engine). I am guessing intellectual property issues. Id Software was the publisher I think of these, but the developer was Raven Software.Ugh they lost the thread. You want to do medieval, reboot Quake you idiots!
Would absolutely love a game that brought the Lovecraftian and Strogg storylines together but ehh Doom is the "new" hotness.
Doom is Mars/Hell, but I feel corporate stank all over this...
1st You have to read story excerpts from Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal in the game to understand the lore and story of the doom history.So I like don't get the theme... It's medevil except here's a shotgun (which I mean I get it's Doom... but still) and all those random high tech armor looking stuff? Color me confused. Also yaya, I'm asking for a while lot for a Doom story line to make any real sense.
I know the lore, but figured when it was midevil he was hacking demons with swords or axes, or a fucking flail, not shotgunning them.1st You have to read story excerpts from Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal in the game to understand the lore and story of the doom history.
2nd its a fantasy and science fiction.

I'll buy it because I'm a sucker for the environment and had a blast playing both.Waiting for Doom Eternal's complete edition to drop to $10 before I bite. Heard way too much conflicting stuff about the platforming elements of gameplay to buy for more than that.
I absolutely adored 2016, but it sounds like eternal (and now dark ages) have a different but not universally better combat forward gameplay loop.
I disagree. I threw in the towel on Eternal because of the stupid monkey bars. Combat was okay once your get to it but the platforming ruined the game. I just killed a bajillion monsters and then fell in the f'in' lava, again.I feel like everyone is REALLY overstating how much, or annoying platforming is in Eternal.
It's mainly confined to traversing between arenas which don't even take longer than a 1 minute on average at most.
Anyways, I just re-launched Doom Eternal again in over a year to continue through the DLC, and wow was it a slap in the face, need to shake of the FPS rust.
dude, i discovered that in Miami even spitting on the ground is too expensive for me.What GPU did you pick up in Miami?

I really enjoyed Quake 4 back in the day. I wish there was a new one. It could be awesome.Ugh they lost the thread. You want to do medieval, reboot Quake you idiots!

I completed Doom Eternal and there is a ton of platforming. Way too much platforming. The game is still a lot of fun and looks great.Waiting for Doom Eternal's complete edition to drop to $10 before I bite.

It's very true. People on the board get there by being psychopaths and then they love hearing about the progress from a fellow psychopath so they nominate CEO/COO psychopaths.the shady nature of how many of these CEOs, presidents, directors, etc. operate these days.
So, I read about this a few days ago elsewhere and was mildly interested simply for the setting and to see how it would play out, but I just read that Mick Gordon wouldn't be doing the music for this game due to the legal issues he had with the past with Marty Stratton (of ID Software) and not having Mick do the music for Doom feels like if Bethesda removed the combat from their next Elder Scrolls game. I'm sure the music will be good as the lead audio designer (Chad Mossholder) did a good job with Eternal but I haven't read enough about Dark Ages to know whether or not Chad will be working on this new iteration. To be honest, this was one hell of a rabbit hole and it has kinda soured me a bit on the Doom franchise as a whole - mainly because I am severely biased against corporate CEOs who are more than happy to screw over the workers if it means they'll see a larger bonus or slightly larger profit margins. Plus Marty didn't seem to care at all that his lies were the direct cause of people sending death threats to Mick Gordon and his family.
For anyone interested in the drama, Check out ID Software Studio Director's "Open Letter of complete bullshit" to the Reddit community. Everything read there should be taken with a massive grain of salt because that just sets the tone for the next link below.
If you made it to the end of that Reddit post, you definitely need to read Mick Gordon's full statement in response to the Reddit post above. Also, set aside some time to read through because when he says it's a "full statement", he ain't lying. I consider myself to be a fairly fast reader and it still took me over 30 minutes to read his statement but it's definitely worth the read as a decent insight as to the shady nature of how many of these CEOs, presidents, directors, etc. operate these days.
Got to the part where Mick wasn't paid for 8 months despite working like crazy and then again wasn't paid for 11 months. I can attest that this is a psychopath's strategy when making people work for them. They will delay payments because they think paying on time will make the worker complacent and reduce the quality of work. Holding the payments somehow makes them work harder. They will also try to squeeze as much out of the poor worker as possible, often making them do two man or three man jobs for the cost of a one man job. They think they are being very smart by being exploitative and obviously gloat about it with their superiors. It's a totally accepted behavior in corporate circles.you definitely need to read Mick Gordon's full statement in response to the Reddit post above.
