This is so great because in 30 years when we want to look back on the great games of the past your documentaries will be invaluable. You truly are doing a great job that benefits video games as an artform.

[@NoclipDocs]

Thanks so much. That was sort of the whole point of Noclip to be honest. To use the access to the industry I was fortunate enough to enjoy to share all these stories and preserve them for everyone. That's why we don't run commercials on the videos or fill the feed up with superfluous stuff. This will hopefully act as a vault for these stories for years to come. At least that's what we hope.

[@niranjan36x]

Continue with the same passion and production value and it definitely will!

[@lukakapanadze6179]

Noclip the quality and love you put into the videos are evident and I am sure you will be very big in the future. Also will take the chance to ask if a documentary on Witcher 3 or on FF15 is possible? Would be interesting to learn about the internal struggles the Final Fintasy team was facing for so many years

[@DyNaM1k]

Next up: Valve

"Its totally not going to be metal!" ends up with awesome metal

[@MarioVelezBThinkin]

I know right! When he said that I was like, "What the hell is he talking about?! DOOM IS METAL!" but not bill and ted metal. That's a different type of metal.

[@rvds0804]

Comfy Man yeah its light death metal. its like gwar but understandable to human ears. it is not hair metal

[@Typanoid]

At least they started out with electronic music - not a bad base to build the musical style on, since electronic is fitting for techbase scifi stuff.

[@JohnDoe-rs4fl]

Michael Simpson it's very Djent-y to me. If you like this, check out Meshuggah, periphery, and animals as leaders.

[@rvds0804]

John Doe ty ill check them out. i know one of the best parts to me too is its all instrumental so i dont have some force screaming like you do with most music from that genre. it reminds me closely of avenge sevenfold style im thinking 'not ready to die' of all things from cod black ops zombies. its more music and art less noise and distortion

[@DeanoSauruzRex]

Mick Gordon created a soundtrack that will be remembered forever! Fucking incredible!

[@calderarecords]

Yeah? Coz no one can hum or whistle a single line from it.

[@jobelthirty1294]

Caldera Records The fuck are you talking about? I can hum rip and tear, bfg division, and skullhacker off the top of my head. I remember them perfectly, what you're saying is bullshit.

[@koalabrownie]

Nope

[@TheUltimateBlooper]

I have the album on vinyl. EPIC!

[@RedW4rr10r]

In my opinion this game's music is so perfect! It fits everything soooo fucking perfectly. Doom 1 and 2 has great music as well and i totally like it and I never forgot it. But this new Doom, I'm not playing it to have some nice music I can go with while playing. I remember one scene where you fall down a longer distance and the exact same moment when you land on your feet the music starts playing with some awesome metal music. You're being thrown right into the fight with that music on your ears. After clearing the area, the music vanishes and you feel the tension drop and you can breathe again for a short moment. Really, the music is the reason why I fucking love this game. Though I gotta admit that I refused to buy it because the game play videos after release didn't convince me at all. So after over two years I spent 20 bucks on it - and I thought to myself that I would not even have regretted the initial 60 bucks.

[@keikurono192]

Mick Gordon seems like one cool guy.

[@RotaryPoweredRX]

indeed, and he really hit it out of the park with this one

[@DeathBringer769]

He's pretty much a god at guitar and composing. He nailed it with the Killer Instinct soundtrack before this one as well. I had high hopes and he met them with the DOOM OST. Probably the best original video game soundtrack I've heard in years.

[@shawklan27]

Antichrist2000 true dat like you can replace gargos' theme with a track like rip and tear and it will end up sounding more fitting than the one he haves now

[@matt5842]

This documentary was so damn well done and it made me love the game even more.

[@ToyKeeper]

[@MBOmnis]

Yeah. Seeing how much of their hearts was put into the game makes me appreciate it a whole lot more. And look how awesome Hugo and Mick especially are.

[@Cyneward]

I agree

[@Doomreb]

+Matěj Rytych I was surprised. I didn't think I would like the documentary when I saw it was the guy from Gamespot. It's an awesome doc.

[@Wolfsheim23]

One thing that Gamespot really does right is gaming documentaries, the Warcraft Documentary was great too or maybe it was Blizzard, can't remember. I think they did a Halo one also.

[@TRUEiMPROrecords]

THIS is the kind of gaming journalism I´ve always wanted to see. Getting deep into the creative process of gamedesign is something that´s been lacking and this channel puts the bigboys to shame with it´s content and quality. The Witcher series and this show that Noclip puts in the work and have been some of the most interesting gaming related stuff I´ve ever watched. Solid work allround but Im especially impressed with how much he gets out of the people he interviews.. I hope, no, Im sure this channel will grow into a household name. Keep it up man!!!

[@DarthFerder]

Indeed. Classic TV journalism would do it like „what is this video game trend the youngsters are doing“ and bring like really basic or even wrong stuff

[@ltdowney]

17:11 - “What does it mean to be scared of demons? Are you scared of demons?” No. No, you are not. And I think Mick figured that out.

[@cbremer83]

I am 33 year old metal head. Never really grew up and have fond memories of figuring out what metal songs "inspired" the original games. When I first fired up DOOM 2016 and heard those chunky guitar riffs, I instantly had a smile on my face. This is the first game soundtrack in a very long time that I could see myself just listening to. It's fucking perfect!

[@MrVitalic85]

Chad Bremer same here.

[@aidangordon2713]

Seconded!

[@sirfrancischl]

Thirded. 33 years as well..fan of metal and rock and this is just mezmerizing 💪

[@Galacticbraindentist]

the visualizing of the flow of combat by using chess pieces was super smart.

[@eugenecheong7066]

Galactic Brain Dentist Love the design of Doom...on the surface it may look like every other mindless FPS...but it's actually quite cerebral... And it's even more awesome cause they laid down the foundation a long, long time ago...

[@HQ_Default]

So is flipping the table the BFG of chess?

[@nadzianyx]

Or lighting the board on fire and smashing it to pieces with your chair.

[@higglyjuff]

The BFG of chess is pulling a shotgun on your opponent.

[@MichaelJCaboose013]

The BFG is putting a wrecking ball through your home and destroying the living room where the board is.

[@chris.hartliss]

Pulling down your pants and dropping a turd on the board. Lol

[@DrBreezeAir]

Everything clicks in Doom perfectly. It's the game of the year for me. The soundtrack is fantastic.

[@Grrizz84]

Totally agree, I'm gaging for an expansion because I've replayed it so many times now lol

[@Yotrymp]

Yes, Ahoy is as close as it gets. You'll notice there's a ton of information overlap between videos though, as it has to be.

[@chbrules]

Ahoy FTMFW!

Ahoy is a similar channel full of awesome content about videogames (mostly how real life firearms are implemented in games, but there's some other stuff about gaming and even movies)

This ended up being phenomenal from start to finish, great work!

[@rossh2111]

12:27 Thats why I like the revenants. The vibe i got from this as soon as I met one for the first time is that of all the things the doomslayer kills its the only one crazy enough to somehow find enjoyment on the battlefield. I like to imagine that even though the demons attack you aggressively theyre all scared shitless of you except the crazy-ass revenants who go wild trying to hype themselves up enough to face the doomslayer.

[@rasamatazz9823]

Mick Gordon is such a legendary composer, I love this guy

[@SeekerLancer]

I have to admit I was one of the people rolling their eyes at the glory kills. I wasn't really excited for the new Doom at all. I thought it looked great but gameplay wise was just going to be a disappointed reboot. Boy was I wrong. The way the glory kills keep you in the combat is great and I'm sorry for doubting them.

[@UNSCPILOT]

Rewarding aggressive play with Health and ammo just dials up the fun factor too

[@RacingSnails64]

On my first playthrough of on normal, I thought they were just interruptions to the combat and restrictive. But after working my way up to harder difficulties, they are a very welcome split-second breather during combat, even vital to your survival by briefly becoming invincible when things get too crowded so you can plot your next move to escape.

[@TheNeedforCaffeine]

Mick Gordon seems super cool. He seems like he has a huge passion for what he does. I loved how he had a huge smile on his face for pretty much the entire interview. Great series, can't wait to see what's next.

smartbluecat they only have a 2 man team so chances are some of that is Danny himself doing the gfx!

[@tigerwomble1457]

All 3 parts were really well done, informative and entertaining. I'm going to buy the game as a result of watching these tubes. I liked the Mick Gordon's comment that the character is the enemy of the demons. A subtle yet important shift. In Dead Space, for instance, one certainly feels like the creatures are the enemy. It's an interesting perspective.

The insight into how Mick produced the music for the game is absolutely fascinating. Great job, Danny.

Goddamn, this is so good

[@stalkerzhs1864]

Classic doom had a pretty good implementation of the music too: Action songs were used for the military bases, e1m1, e1m4 and e1m9 Mysterious-like songs for the abandoned facilities like m2, m3, m6 was a weird one though and horror type songs for the labs of m5 and m7

[@benmarkus3675]

Also wow, Mick Gordon's ability to map out his creative process is mind boggling.

[@spamhere1123]

I love Mick Gordon's detailed explanation of his creative process. Being as creative as a sack of cement myself, it's always nice to glimpse into the mind of someone who can take a basic idea and form something cohesive from it, out of nothing. Unfortunately, all too many of the creative minds were not as blessed with creative speech, and listening to many of them feels vague and unclear. But not Mick. Heck, I understood his thought process so clearly I actually could believe I could try it myself (not gonna happen, but it shows how well he explained it).

[@Hugop_arts]

LOOOOVE that edit at 22mins in, when the composer says "They started bopping their head when the music came in" and in the doccumentary itself the BGM goes silent. Brilliant

[@joaquimpereira4995]

This game should have been GOTY. NOT fucking Overwatch...

[@MrTBSC]

Joaquim Vaz Pereira gameawards was a joke anyway .. they realy need to step up their game if they want to be taken seriously .... realy aside from mick gordon´s lifeshow and the "that dragon cancer" speech that was nothing but adds ... and no propper reasoning behind the awards ...

[@MrZalgo-ml2iw]

Honestly for awards and accolades, I tend to go for the Golden Joysticks since the community voted for those games.

[@MrZalgo-ml2iw]

***** Overwatch is a great multiplayer game, and I'm currently addicted to it. But in my eyes, GOTY should focus on the game that appeals to as many people as possible while at the same time being an amazing game. I'm talking about the fact that some people just want to play singleplayer in a video game, and to them, Overwatch wouldn't fit in their list of games to play. That's just my opinion though. You can consider it your GOTY if you want it to be. Mine's Dark Souls 3 and Witcher 3 expansion.

[@MrTBSC]

***** "and is for casuals." and doom is what? not for your casual oldscool fpsplayer? .. seriously this word is so overused negatively it lost its effect long ago if it even had any .. it´s such a wrong mindset to think gamingcompanies should only cater to the "hardcore"crowd .. such games become VERY niche and rarely pay for themselves .. and despite being aimed for the "casual" audience the game still has it´s own progamingscene .. .. doom as awesome as its singleplayer is lacks the replayability overwatch has cause of its lackluster multiplayer and limited modability even though the latter having no singleplayecampaign or modaibilty itself .. ID/bethtesda outsourcing the MP and limiting modability to snapmap imo was a huge missed opportunity to turn an awesome game with its engine into something realy legendary ..

[@shawklan27]

Joaquim Vaz Pereira true but there's nothing we can do now unfortunately

[@andrewhorka]

This documentary is excellent. I've never played DOOM (2016) and I was among those who were very sceptic as I grew up at 90's and DOOM was big part of my life. But now I think this will be my next buy. Also on the other side it put great light on designing process and development - it was great to watch how much different things you have to go through to make a big game and see thinking of creators. Looking forward for next videos

[@rosfell00]

Looking at what Marty and Mick said about actually listening to the fans when they complained about the glory kills and the soundtrack made me smile, Id actually cares about what the fans say, and they care about the games they make, they do know what they want to do, not what the publisher expects them to do... A lot of developers both AAA and Indie could learn a couple of things from them, awesome work on this series man, thanks for putting a smile on my face...

The production value of these docs outclass most of what I can find on the internet, full stop. More importantly than that, however, is the sheer quality of the content found within the doc - these interviews are absurdly enlightening, offering a raw, honest look into game development that a lot of professional websites aren't providing. I've not only liked this video and have subscribed to your channel, but am heading to the Patreon site in order to contribute to these docs the second I finish writing this comment. Keep the content coming. I can't wait to learn more about what it took to bring Doom 2016 to market, not to mention what's next to come in the doc series.

Great documentary, really enjoyed the narrator allowing the story to be told by the studio, instead of telling the story then playing a sound bite. Great work, thank you for your efforts.

This channel is so awesome, I’ve been looking for something like this for years. A channel that does documentaries on nothing but video game studios and games in general. What a treat. Love it
