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".

[@frozezone2947]

Oh and mayo I have this question Ive been wanting to ask you since hugo martin started an interview with you and the other doomyubers

[@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.

Well, we were told that in this game you, “hit like a truck.” So who knows?

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!

[@FyruHawk]

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.

[@AidenSmith-fw5xe]

@@googlefish80 It would have a TV face if it was a Bruiser. I’d love for him to make an appearance, but I strongly doubt he will

I have a theory that you can parry green attacks. This would be similar to shooting the marauder or gladiator when the eyes are green in eternal. It would make sense with that one enemy firing 5 projectiles but only 1 is green

[@EstonianFreedom100]

[@Madchimpz]

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.

More enemies, larger maps, slower player movement without slowing enemies, lower target healthpools, weapons made for crowd control, varied enemy attacks that look like they can't all be solved by circling an arena forever.

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.

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.

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.

this new suit is better

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

Wow yeah the classic Doom gameplay of piloting vehicles

@@citizen3000 you pilot a Revenant in DOOM Eternal. not that big of a deal.

[@MantisGod8815]

@@citizen3000 It's probably going to be a little set piece moment, which are fun in small doses and the fan base has been pretty vocal about piloting a mech for a while now. They were never heavy handed with that kind of stuff so I wouldn't worry about it.

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

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.

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

[@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

[@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

[@Dlngusrat]

This game should have infinite ammo, and a style meter.

[@sharky9008]

No reload button but ammo is limited

[@Dlngusrat]

@@sharky9008 The joke is that this would make the game more like Ultrakill, and would trigger AboveTheMustard 🤓🤓

A gun that actively crushes and minces skulls to shoot bone shards. This is the kind of awesome creativity I love, similar to the planet shooter in Amid Evil that just randomly takes planets from the universe to shoot at enemies.

[@hihat4179]

Gives me Painkiller vibes

[@deus_nsf]

Yes!

[@truthseeker333-id7ex]

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

[@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.

[@JohnSmith-ip6kc]

They need to give the guy that came up with the skull shrapnel shooting bazooka a raise… and a promotion

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

[@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.

[@PossiblyAnIrishGuy]

They showed so much and so little at the same time, definitely left people asking questions. The Atlan mechs and dragon could be very fun, I trust id to not overuse them or at least have dedicated sections or whole levels for them so when it comes to replaying you can pick and choose which ones are ground combat vs mech vs air. I just wanted to point out, I'm pretty sure the "Imp" creature you noted is actually a Prowler. It's just standing more upright, but its claws look like a Prowler's and its eyes too. As well, I'm surprised you didn't say anything about the nailgun type weapon that the Slayer uses to impale the Prowler. From a mechanics standpoint, maybe it's like a dedicated Precision Bolt gun? While the skullmuncher gun is like either an Unmaykr or a riff on the Chaingun. I'll miss the meathook, but like you said in your prior video we shouldn't get used to these things if the game is going a different direction. I'll also miss Mick Gordon. He was done dirty but as you said, there doesn't seem to be any follow up whether it's just a private settlement or something more litigious. I doubt Mick wants to sue and it seems like id Software didn't have a leg to stand on to sue him for libel based off what he posted in his Medium page. So it's a stalemate, which ultimately sucks for fans since we'll never get a truly mastered release of the Doom Eternal OST. The music in The Dark Ages trailer sounded like both David Levy and Andrew Hulshult at the same time, here's hoping it's them again. I preferred Andrew's work personally over David's, but I understand that Andrew has been super busy in the last year or two with Amid Evil: The Black Labyrinth as well as scoring the Iron Lung movie made by Markiplier. Speaking of which, play/review/give your thoughts on Amid Evil! I hope you feel excited and invigorated further by The Dark Ages. I'm optimistic that it'll be as mechanically exhaustive as Eternal was, maybe more. So who knows, maybe you will unintentionally end up covering it for 2 years again! One thing as well I wanted to note is that with the presence of a shield, I think it's possible that the multiplayer could make for something interesting if they go down the Deathmatch route vs Battlemode like in Eternal. I know MP isn't your thing, but I'd be curious about your thoughts on how it could be affected based off this trailer alone. Roll on Quake Con!

[@Kroenchkin]

most important would be SNAP MAP RETURN

[@justsomeguyontheinternet5898]

5:04 in the trailer you do actually some of the demons dying by fading away. Just a slight bit after the part where that imp is killed.

[@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 !

[@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.

I love to think that Hugo and his team, when coming up with new weapon ideas was like “okay, here is a skull, how do we weaponise it?”

Rejoice. D2016s atmosphere is back

[@theeternalslayer9513]

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 😢

[@idglet9565]

The gameplay looks very Painkiller X Bulletstorm. Incidentally, both are People Can Fly games. I guess we know what Hugo Martin was playing in his downtime.
