DOOM: The Dark Ages | Detailed Gameplay Analysis from the Reveal Trailer ( REACTION )

[@underthemayo]

I can't believe it's been so long since Doom Eternal that we're looking at a new Doom game on the way. Time to get hype. If I got something wrong here, okay. It's just a fast reaction while I'm excited. Let's just have some fun here. Also, this video is very relevant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6XOZ4uFfMx1qtE "There is no Doom Eternal 2".

[@minegaming13524]

Excuse me, can you remind me my beginner guide, the heavy cannon, they have a mod called precision bolt which is used for quick swapping, micro missiles, it’s used for quick swapping with the rocket launcher, does that mean it can work on all weapons with the micro missiles?

[@bufflb4184]

I'm 99% sure that the mancubus/hell knight one-shot kill is just to make the trailer more cinematic. No way their health is that low, even if there's a weakpoint/parry stun state.

[@underthemayo]

The mancubus one shot isn't a kill, it's a weak point break. He's definitely still alive.

[@PossiblyAnIrishGuy]

@@underthemayo if that's actually the case, then they really leveled up the destructible demons system to a whole new echelon. I wonder if you could blow off both a Mancubus' arms while he's still alive, would be a cool thing but also pretty funny and/or gimmicky.

I was hoping for quake. I kind of thought that the Quaker remasters coming out was a bit of a hint that they were doing something with the franchise again while doubling as a way to get people talking about it. But this looks sweet, and as someone who preferred the gameplay pace and atmosphere/design of 2016 over Eternal. This looks like it's more up my alley. Not that I didn't think eternal was great

[@Chano-h2h]

For the enemies dying so easy, remember that in almost every doom trailer all enemies are one shot basically, to mantain the flow of it ig.

That "Baron" at 6:20 has the head that looks super similar to the Doom Hunter minus the visor. I think this may be one of the Agaddon Hunters before Eternal. I may be wrong but I can't wait to see it next year!

yeah i saw a reddit post that also pointed out the glowing thing on his chest is very similar too, just on the opposite side.

Good catch, I think that definitely is the case because the Hell Knight also had a green glow on its arms right before doom slayer parried its jump attack. And right before that, an Imp was preparing to shoot a green fireball before getting killed. I like that mechanic, you can't just parry every attack, only certain ones.

[@Jane-qh2yd]

The "Baron of Hell" that you pointed out in the trailer is not a Baron of Hell at all. The Baron has horns that point forward, with the tip actually facing down and sitting below his eyeline. The Baron also has no spikes coming out of his shoulder plates, and his teeth are crooked and evenly big, without any canines. This demon has curved horns that point directly upwards, as well as a small horn coming out of its forehead. This is the EXACT same horns that the Doom Hunter has in Eternal. This demon also has spikes coming out of its shoulders, and a similar mouth/teeth to the DH. This is without a doubt the Agaddon Hunters that were used to make the Doom Hunters.

[@IagoM013]

When I saw the Mech combat and Dragon segment I thought they were cool and, after thinking, now Im wondering if that was just them teasing that the game will have cool and unique set piece moments. I trust ID on this, one of Doom 2016's criticism is that the pacing wasn't really good; in Eternal they added platforming sections so the players cool off after the action, but it was somewhat "controversial", and added more Boss Fights; I think Dark Ages may have actual unique set pieces to improve the pacing and also add diversity to the campaign gameplay from time to time. It makes me remember the Gears Of War franchise with the cool set pieces like fighting bosses, using vehicles and even controlling the enemies's monsters like the Brumak or the Reaver.

[@rawmaw]

4:51, I actually don't think this is a form of a "ground pound". To me, it looks more like a dash done mid-air that's simply targeted towards the floor. So dashing is not as static as it is in Eternal when it comes to its directions. But of course, I could be wrong.

[@bmFbr]

That Bethesda release schedule sheet that leaked some time ago is from like 2019 and it already had Doom Year Zero listed, and that was even before Eternal got out. So it wasn't any sudden change of plans, not "it's better to launch another Doom now", it was in their plans from the start.

In my opinion, in response to the “Doom Factory” concerns at 7:30 , I think Id is trying to warm the greater gaming community up to introduce quake as their next game. So they’re people get their fill of doom while simultaneously introducing a new style in preparation for quake. That’s what I’m hoping at least.

[@spearten_coffee]

The map size is very interesting and I think this may be getting us much closer to classic Doom with how many enemies and large maps people have made there. I like toning the pace down a little bit from being a super acrobat because after many Ultra Nightmare playthroughs, I think I'd like to quick switch a little less. One of my biggest turn-offs with eternal is the early game and how much weaker you feel in regards to health, armor and ammo. I'd like to ditch a lot of those RPG elements and just focus on gun upgrades/variety and if there are unlocks, just have them be cool abilities like the runes or things that completely change how you use some guns.

​@@CritStanley because doom is alot more known and wanted, like mayo said, id doubts quake would make as much money as doom, so i guess ID tried to make the new doom a little bit like quake. Just hope that they use dark ages as a means to gather resources to make a quake game

[@Kodaiva]

@@CritStanley it's because people will buy doom.

I clicked on the video and then I realized who the uploader was

[@GeoStreber]

The floating guys behind the arachnotrons are basically what the arachnotrons are without their mechanical legs.

[@underthemayo]

You think that's a place where they're being manufactured?

[@GeoStreber]

@@underthemayo Not necessarily a centralized plant, but yes. At some point, the mechanical part needs to be combined with the organic stuff.

[@juliotironi3134]

Still cant believe they parted ways with mick gordon...... his music was one of the biggest reasons doom eternal blew up the way it did

[@512TheWolf512]

since you mentioner armies, i think that having this game take inspiration from Serious Sam series would be pretty great

[@____GoMeZ____]

While the trailer is friggin awesome, remember E3 for Eternal? It was VERY different from what we got at Launch. I expect the same to happen here. Dont put all your eggs into this trailers basket, it WILL be different come launch. And this is in no way a complaint or me admitting it looks bad - all im saying is, it will most certainly be different from this.

[@Muramasa1794]

The big demon at 6:40 is the doom hunter pre-augmentation not a Baron of Hell

@@thunderred5263 I can't put how much I love "it uns the skulls" into words.

[@Wapaz]

Your attention to detail is great Two other things I noticed: - the HP of the enemies are probably lowered for the trailer - there's very little verticality in the arenas shown, hopefully that's not reflective of the final game

[@balsabozovic4510]

I disagree, hopefully it is, id love modern take on og doom combat, where you meet hell on battlefield instead of quake arenas

[@hihat4179]

Gives me Painkiller vibes

[@deus_nsf]

Yes!

[@METALLIFY16]

Man I’m glad that the combat is gonna be more grounded like it used to be. Doom Eternal was wayyyy too twitchy feeling. Not everyone is hopped up on cocaine like speed runners and dudes who play this shit 24/7

[@SimakSantana]

its like the new call of duties theres so much new stuff it can never go back to the regular movement systems

[@blues3531]

I love that the art style has a much more serious, gritty look to it. 2016 perfected that, and Eternal was a step back in art style IMO with its lighter tone. This is a nice return.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

I love how the plasma gun looks like a mix of the Eternal and 2016 barianta while also having a distinct Argentan look to it as well.

[@Kroenchkin]

most important would be SNAP MAP RETURN

[@legacyisanimesh]

What I thought about the new weapon at 2:00 that it was a better heavy cannon with micro missiles.

[@RTXWorld-m2h]

I was wondering about you after the trailer reveal and you publish a video at 5am when i was about to sleep. Ok

[@cato3277]

I love the aesthetic change from Eternal to Dark Ages is almost a return to 2016’s gritty hellish look.

[@balsabozovic4510]

Nah, dark ages looks way darker then even 2016, i would love if there were some sections that are in darkness where you need to relly on demons glowy bits to fight them

[@sticklyboi]

i dont think i can trust analysis from the feller that cant understand a game as simple in concept as ultrakill

[@underthemayo]

I am a fan of Ultrakill so don't worry.

[@wjveryzer7985]

2016 was VERY grounded and i prefer it because of that!

[@flouy7430]

this is gonna be so good

[@BIGSTACK40]

cant wait to see your breakdown annalysis on all the different weapons and your new brawler mode for this 🔥🔥🔥 It also seems like a lot of the new features from eternal have been shortened into the shield instead of it just being the new chainsaw, looking like it combines the utility of the dash, blood punch, and shoulder cannon in the forms of the shield bash and shield toss.

[@lucassimoes3351]

i cant belive he wants people to play doom eternal ithe way its intended but doesnt play any other game how its intended to be played.

[@stevengrant2938]

After the fiasco with Mick Gordon and trying to scam him out of his money and reputation? I think a lot of people are putting way to much faith in Hugo Martin...

[@danielgeronimo5538]

What Hugo Martin can do as a creative director does not have a correlation to Mick Gordon being a musical producer. Music can be part of the game but how a game is made is a different story. So yeah, of course people will have faith in Hugo Martin.

[@Touktouksoans]

If you look closely, the parried attack from the Hell Knight is glowing green. One of the projectile shot by the soldier on the Pinky is green and the orb charged by the imp is green too. I think green glowing attacks will be the cue for parryable attacks for the shield !

[@xdrastig_4207]

I honestly like the slower-paced approach, since eternal already set up a crazy standard in speed which would only be surpassed in a title by pro players I think people kind of forgot doom guy is a killing machine who could canonically tank everything instead of being a speeding bullet, making him a tank suits him better as a character imo Another point I'd like to make is that doom guy canonically nerfs himself with guns just for fun, so it makes sense for him to change his fighting style every title Btw, for anyone complaining about the dashes missing, if you look closely doom guy charges at enemies with his shield, I think dashes will be used as an offense mechanic instead of "avoid damage" as shown in the trailers

[@BoTheJo]

can't wait. almost redownloaded eternal seeing this

[@Bl_Radio]

Hugo Martin LITERALLY said that all he wants to do is keep making DooM games the rest of his life. If there is any pressure to make id Software DooM games, its internal, not from Microsoft.

[@danielgeronimo5538]

He needs to try doing Quake

[@CassowaryGod100]

I guess you could say for all eternal… Nevermind not funny

[@Baguette18]

ultrakill music lol

[@ElPicoleto90]

2:38 wow ure right ,didnt notice, its a revenant... with a pilgrim look

[@MILDMONSTER1234]

Serious Sam/Painkiller with a doom skin

[@balsabozovic4510]

I saw quakecon footage, it is nothing like serious sam, apart from insane amount of enemies on screen

[@IntentionalGains]

I agree with the comments about set pieces. I'm honestly kinda over quick-time events. A titan battle with varied mechanics of attack would be awesome...I have a feeling they didn't let us down

[@Craft2299]

I have a feeling theres an openworldness to this game. The large "Arenas" dont look like arenas, more like fields, and you get a flying dragon.

[@stoicghost4313]

Rejoice. D2016s atmosphere is back

[@theeternalslayer9513]

I honestly think that the devs played Dark Souls/blood born, and got inspired by the visual and dark medieval themes of the two games. So I think they are inspired in that and decided to make it into a new Doom

[@jeanfrancozaratemarcial7916]

Don't mention From soft here... Mayo ain't a fan of them at all lol.

[@vanardnb]

This setting has been done many times before and after those games

[@truth333seeker]

i love how the mancubus looks almost like the doom 3 mancubus, i wonder if they will implement the doom 3 theme in this game like mick did in DOOM2016

[@theoutsider0724]

I just hope the combat will have strategic elements to it like in eternal and not as slow (and simple) as in 2016. I miss the meathook already 😢

[@riflemanm16a2]

The weapon at 6:06 is a flail. A mace does not have a chain; instead, the pointy head is attached directly to the handle.

[@jotaa9660]

OMG OMG OMG IAM SO HYPED

[@BFG-hv2ml]

I honestly did not expect to see new Doom game this early since I saw midnight’s video “there wont be a new doom game” But I am ready to open my wallet, finish the game, and then make the conclusion.

[@zachtaylor5312]

Can’t believe it’s real. Thought it was some fan-made thing at first. Didn’t realize how far along a new game was

it’s unfinished at this point. early trailers for eternal also looked a little off from the final game.
