$3.69 unlocks the "teabag" animation apparently. I think it's a steal at that price. 

The first iteration of Doom4 felt like a typical COD clone (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Io23oqGJ5ik) that would get an once of popularity because of the name before being drowned by the military FPS flood that's still going on today, and would inevitably piss off Doom fans.

And now we have ex-Bungie devs that makes Halo in Hell and it would get an once of popularity before fading off. The situation is similar. And I really doubt Doom4 will have the same ever-lasting appeal of Super Mario Maker: the gameplay feels weak, SnapMap feels very limited and we already talked about the possibility of DLC assets Zenimax will surely try to use to gather more interest in the game but will ultimately fail because not only will it create a gap between those who can buy them and those who can't, but also because the game seems shallow to begin with, and it will take more than patches to fix it. 

if they charged for map pieces, they could still let everyone play the maps you create (the charge could be just to use it in your own maps.)

Just like i don't need to pay $5 to see somebody else walk around in horse armor. 

In fact that's how they sell this stuff.

- Person A sees person B with cool shit
- Person A wants cool shit too and opens wallet 

Super Mario Maker seems to have the right level of granularity tho. You don't need to go any deeper than that.

The flashbacks. Aaaaaaaagh.

Sure looks like it has hallways and whatnot. 

Rooms and corridors confirmed. 

I have to admit, it does look a bit better than Doom 3. 

Lost Soul looks rad too 

those cacademons look like miniature figurines covered in jizz, totally artificial 

the extreme DOF is probably why they look miniature. 

Decent beastie design going on there, proper ugly mugs.
But those fucking white/aluminium washed corridors and other base/tech parts give me horrible D3 flashbacks with the eternal fat cable lying around going to a fucking generator or what not, ARGH! "ooooh look we can do smooth cables since D3, lets have them everywhere again!" piss off piss off piss off piss off! :P 

 

Artistically speaking, cables running through a hard surface environment like that add an organic element that works really well. Unfortunately, it CAN be overdone if you go back to that well too many times. :) 

Some of those shots are really nice .. the concept art looks hot. I love the clean look of the sci-fi against the hellscape stuff ... 

My only problem with the art is still the white heads for the hellknights / imps because it just makes me think of goofy 1970s motorcycle cops or something. 

Shots 1, 3, 5: Pretty promising looking, even if there is far too much specularity going on (as was the case in D3 as well).

Others: I'm with nitin on this one, is this Doom 4, or Doom 3 HD? Those bald heads were awful in 2004 and they remain awful in 2016. The models, the textures, the meshes etc. all look like D3 assets tarted up, down to the shapes of the walls. 

I now have a decent-ish reference picture for an idea I wanted to do in a Q1SP. 

do almost all monsters appear to have the same color? And it's the same color as the environment, too. In the original Doom, there was so much color variety in the monsters and in the environments, but here, it's all looking quite bland (the monsters more so than the environments).

This is a problem I have had with some recent games anyway: I often couldn't tell the monsters apart and therefore didn't know how to deal with them (what weapon to choose, how much damage to do, etc.). This applies to the low end monsters more than to the bigger ones. Combine this with the duck and cover gameplay due to hitscan enemies where you often only get a glimpse of your opponent, and you have much less control over the encounter.

Even though I don't like the new Cacodemon too much, at least it's colorful and easily distinguished from the other monsters.
