DOOM: The Dark Ages Discussion
#doom #doom2016 #doometernal #gaming #discussion
My thoughts on DOOM: The Dark Ages and the future of Quake.
TANKHEAD by Emerson Tung and Tim Popelier - linktr.ee/tankhead
Correction at 21:32. I remember reading an article where it was stated that MachineGames asked if they could make a new Quake game but were offered Wolfenstein instead. I have not been able to find this article and I believe that I have conflated certain details from things I've read over the years. A 2014 Polygon article by Russ Pitts is most likely what I was misremembering.

    Im glad they appear to finding a blend of the best elements from 2016 and eternal. I loved 2016, but only liked eternal. I disliked the aesthetic and floaty nature of eternal, and all the complexities involved with the gameplay. 2016 was metal, and had fun and simple approachable gameplay.

    Tbh I don't like most of what I'm hearing about this game. It looks so much slower which could not be a worse direction to go. 2016 was already way too slow and too simple, eternal was perfect and they don't need to match that perfectly, but going in the opposite direction is the stupidest idea ever Also the fact Andrew isn't making the soundtrack? Absolute blasphemy. Seriously, why has Marty not been fired yet? This is ridiculous It's a DOOM GAME. The soundtrack matters way too much to keep replacing the composer. At least Andrew and David had credibility and did an amazing job on TAG (imo blood swamps is better than any mick Gordon soundtrack. The rest of TAG, not so much, but it was great still). Insane to not stick with them

      @dylanwhite6539 Před 6 dny

      @@PoweredbyidTech I’ll admit I have to agree with you there. Tag, especially tag2 was a letdown in the story department. The whole thing with davoth being the true creator was just weird. I should probably just write it off as the devil crafting lies if it weren’t for the father affirming his statement. Maybe we could say the voice was not really the father but yet more trickery from davoth? It is messy though. And the davoth fight was a pathetic waste. I can knock out the first 2 arenas without even getting a low health warning. Pretty sure it would be no trouble to beat him on UN. He should’ve been more than a marauder. Hell, the game glitched one time and gave me the marauder tutorial for the dark lord fight.

    Well, if Mick Gordon isn’t in it because of the falling out and also it being primarily his permission to not subject himself to that kind of treatment he faced, I understand. However, because of this, I don’t want that stupid fucking clown “Marty” to be anywhere in a 500 mile radius of Idsoftware/Bethesda’s reach and I don’t want him involved with Doom at all. That little stain of a fart ruined Mick for personal gain or pure pettiness. I want him to suffer the consequences.

  • @joxyver
    @joxyver Před 7 dny

    Technically, as part of your concerns, it’s funny how you mention that “I don’t want to see doomguy’s traumatic backstory of losing his wife and kid from the demons” when the story for Doom 2 actually talks about the fact that he did lose his wife and kid, it’s just losing his Pet rabbit Daisy pushed him over of the edge.

    • @HeadMelterOfficial

    • @ET0228
      @ET0228 Před 7 dny

      honestly. i'd say it's overkill at this point. ID had the perfect opportunity to have the two other guys who both worked on the dlc ost for eternal to reprise their role. But for whatever reason that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. At this point who do you even have left? ID really screwed up when Mick left the scene. Now the soundtrack is going through this weird identity crisis. Such a shame, but whoever is composing TDA's ost will at the very least do a decent enough job at making the soundtrack sound good enough to fit the overall vibe and theme of this new doom game.

    • @HugoStiglitz88
      @HugoStiglitz88 Před 6 dny

      Not having Andrew as the composer is a massive mistake Marty is so salty that the soundtrack got so much credit and doesn't want that again even if it's at the games expense. I agree that people completely overrated the soundtrack. In 2016, the gameplay was pretty braindead and kinda boring, but there was way too much electronic garbage in the music, and a few standout tracks. Eternals soundtrack was a million times better but the gameplay was also so much better that the whole "free game with soundtrack" joke also doesn't work at all there either That joke never worked frankly Still absolute career suicide to place as little importance on the soundtrack IN A DOOM GAME as Marty is, just because he's salty that Mick Gordon got too much credit

    I think its fair to criticize to lore since Hugo himself said he likes to have a heavy focus on lore. I know people like to throw out the old Carmack quote when shutting discussions for that down but it makes zero sense to hold that same standard today, especially since it was made in an era where story took a back seat in video games and even in the 90s that mindset quickly got phased out. I completely agree with you about TAG2 jumping the shark, I know they wanted TAG 1 and 2 to be bigger but couldn't because of ...the sick... but that doesn't excuse the fact they completely wasted the franchises big bad that fans have wanted to see SINCE THE 90s on a 3 level DLC and a mediocre final boss. This and i also hate how everything became implied Heaven and Hell instead of literal Heaven and Hell from the bible, i wanted to fight biblical demons and angelic horrors not space squid people.

      The thing is I feel like even modern games don't necessarily need to have a groundbreaking storyline. Putting effort into innovating and utilizing the interactive nature of a video game through gameplay design is much more engaging for me. That Carmack quote IS a little too exaggerated to be put into practice nowadays, but games 100% could and imo should thrive more with their gameplay. All the story needs to be is cohesive and reasonable. Fighting games, the Ninja Gaiden and DMC series are perfect examples of this. Criticizing is fine, but I feel like we as consumers should expect the gaming medium to not just do what movies and TV shows already do.

    I agree with absolutely everything except for the part about not enjoying the thought of a deeper look into the Doom slayers reasonings for having such hatred for hell, and personally as much as i appreciate the bunny, it never really felt like enough for his anger shown in 2016 and eternal, plus its always been heavily implied that he lost everything including his family along with the removed photo of his wife and child, personally i think showing that amount of loss would fit perfectly with his pure drive to destroy the place and its inhabitants that caused his despare and will to do anything including ascension into demi-godhood in order to take his revenge.
