DOOM The Dark Ages | Trailer Reaction

[@RipNteargaming]

What is your favorite part of the reveal trailer?

[@balsabozovic4510]

The look of the game, i love that it looks dark and sinister and not like a cartoon like eternal does

[@darkninja1732]

The Captain America Buzzsaw

[@ninjagia1234]

That shield is gonna be used for some crazy traversal movement and kill linking. Hands down what I'm hyped for the most

[@jancevaughn8539]

atlan

[@blazkowicz_the_3rd810]

YES

[@kingjohn8980]

In the 2016 slayer testament that mentions the Wretch, it talks about Doom Slayer having a “sword and shield of adamantine strength”. Glad we can finally use it in this game and I hope the titan is a boss fight as well.

[@julianw2459]

Love how his “sword” and “blade” is just the super shotgun lol

[@tannerbruning868]

I assumed it just wasn’t literal.

[@rickyrackey7930]

A Steel barreled sword of vengeance.

[@RacingSnails64]

I was scared I'll miss the Meathook but I'm very pleased with the multi-functional shield. Holy moly. Also the Slayer looks SO badass. I didn't think Doomguy needed a cape, but it works really damn well for the time period he's in.

[@brianlbeck]

The shield reminds me of something Hugo said in one of the streams. It was something like if Eternal was like driving a sports car then the next game would be like driving a tank because the gameplay of Eternal couldn't be taken any further. I think that's why it's a prequel as well, to make it feel more grounded as you don't have all of your powers yet. I think that's reflected in the art style as well. Anyway, game looks awesome and I can't wait to play it!

YOU SHOOT SHREDDED SKULLS WITH A GRINDER GUN AT DEMONS...goty

[@Lucifer-do7mf]

this weapon is so ridicolously metal XD i love it

[@Urd-Vidan]

It also makes sense now that he gets Ammo from his enemies, their freaking skulls. 😂

[@chrisprufer1622]

Doom guy trying to reduce carbon footprint

[@blazkowicz_the_3rd810]

The "big guy" is Aggadon Hunter, still alive, later to be Doom Hunter in Eternal.

[@asimplepie2279]

Happy people are noticing that. He’s my favorite demon from Eternal

[@RipNteargaming]

They definitely have some similar appearances. I wonder if the big guy is actually just a similar species much like the Hell Knight and Dread Knight, and the Aggadons are different. We might actually get to see the 4 armed ones like the one that is crucified at the Cultist Base.

[@asimplepie2279]

@@RipNteargaming oh shit I forgot about the four armed one. That’ll be cool

[@blazkowicz_the_3rd810]

@@RipNteargaming I always thought, that they were engineered by the cultists, but they might be natural.

[@GamingMafia_id]

​@@RipNteargaming funny that we never see the big one in action, I guess we'll obliterate them all in dark ages lol

[@julianw2459]

Seems like they doubled down on what they mentioned a few years ago, eternal was like a hyper fast machine, and that the next game would feel like you’re a heavy truck. Way too excited for this game. Rip and tear.

[@julianw2459]

Also hope ID promotes the individual who came up with the idea for that skull crushing weapon. Way too cool.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

That's a really bad thing. That's a step backwards. No one wanted less speed. 2016 was already way too slow

[@julianw2459]

@@HugoStiglitz88 Don’t think it’s a bad thing at all. Doom eternal is perfect for what it is, I personally don’t want a replica of eternal, it’d rather something new. Doom is all about the power fantasy. Eternal was a hyper rush of adrenaline, Dark Ages seems to be giving the player the feeling of a walking, living tank.

[@kingjohn8980]

Wonder if the 2016 cyberdemon (before his augmentations) will be a boss in this game. During his boss intro in 2016, he gave a head tilt towards the Slayer then roared at him, showing he recognized the Slayer. Hopefully that means we’ll get to see how the Slayer tore him apart.

[@rickyrackey7930]

I would like to see what other Shadow Lords are there.

[@AncientPangolinGaming]

parry, kick, dragon, mech HOLY SHIIIIIIIT

[@mcsquared5005]

Im so happy the name is Doom The Dark Ages and not 'year zero' . Doom The Dark Ages is way more bad ass and iconic. This looks so good 🥲

[@ВасилийМорозов-л7х]

2016 DooM represents the sci-fi side of the Doom franchise, Eternal and its DLCs represent the 'over the top badass' side and the Dark Ages represent the gothic/fantasy side. The unholy trinity will be complete soon.

[@GamingMafia_id]

Got that right, at least in term of overall atmosphere & setting: 2016 - proper doom 3 on steroid eternal - over the top doom 1 & 2 dark ages - leaning on to quake territory

[@Armageddon-yt3so]

@@GamingMafia_id QUAKE, maybe even a little Heretic/Hexen vibes.

7:40 The Archvile looks to actually be an Imp, but more "classic" looking.

[@Fammmeeee]

It feels so good to see you talk about DOOM again. Welcome to Hell boys!!!!

[@NotZealot]

God im hoping for some melee in this, seeing as this is the time where the Slayer used the crucible sword if I'm not mistaken

[@spectralslayer151]

My guy returned with a banger. This whole trailer is simply: “YES.”

[@ErickGameplaysN64]

I love how the Super Shotgun has it's stock back.

[@RipNteargaming]

If you slow down the video, it doesn't actually have a stock, since it is a lever action style shotgun.

[@ErickGameplaysN64]

@@RipNteargaming it does have a stock and is also lever action, one does not anulate the other, just look at it at the beginning as it gets out of the wall and right after when the shield gets pulled to his arm, you can see that the SSG is both lever action and has a stock. It very clearly has a more traditional shotgun grip instead of the style of stockless grip it had in 2016 and Eternal. Either that, or I'll getting a wrong sense of scale, and It's way smaller than it looks.

[@RipNteargaming]

@@ErickGameplaysN64 Believe me I have slowed down the video and in the actual gameplay there's only a grip and then the lever handle. I'm currently working on a breakdown video and that was one thing I really took notice on. The trailer is the first reveal so it's possible that the cutscene part at the beginning makes it look like it has a stock, or it actually does have a stock, but then in the gameplay it's different. Things can always change down the road.

[@Crylyte]

I'm very glad you've returned to KZbin. You were my favorite channel in the lead up to and post launch for Eternal.

[@jasonvoorhees2507]

The familiar demon you were talking about is actually the DOOM Hunter before the mechanized upgrades from the cultist. They were extinct during the unholy crusade and reanimated during Earth's invasion in doom eternal.

[@jasonvoorhees2507]

@K-44BlackBumblebee I guess that was just for the aesthetic of the ambient. We doesn't fight any of those during the campaign of doom eternal, just their little version the aggadon hunters that became the doom hunters after the upgrades. Maybe that was some kind of mutation or a higher commander of the species that we never had the chance to see in combat.

[@RipNteargaming]

Yeah I was doing a little more looking into it and he does resemble the DOOM Hunter for sure. He might just be a similar species to them much like the Hell Knight and Dread Knight.

[@cosmictoaster5048]

I love how the shotgun shakesthe whole screen when you fire

[@ashshadownight]

Oh this is gonna be metal as fuck!!!

[@JunayedMahin]

Cant wait for it come out. Looking forward to your future videos.

[@asimplepie2279]

WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK BOYS

[@Disregardedinc]

What you thought was an archvile is actually the new IMP!

[@RipNteargaming]

Makes sense. Slowing down the video he tries to charge a fireball like other imps as well. Plus he's not as tall as an Archvile and I don't think the "Impaler" weapon would one-kill an Archvile.

[@iw_legendary_sayain2215]

I can’t believe we’re actually getting a title setting around this testament: “In the first age, in the first battle..when the shadows first lengthened”

[@GamingMafia_id]

Hugo was on point when he said it'd be like monster truck vs ferarri. Eternal felt like one last hurrah for the slayer, might as well go overboard and blast everything as fast as possible. For the demon too, as they start to throw every demons available, even the one from 93 (design wise). They even try to resurrect the doom hunters lol. 2016 felt like OG Doom, a bit confused, and it's where he starts to get his feet warm again, like a warning. It boggles my mind that it's reflected in the gameplay too, being the Slayer is at his strongest in Eternal. While other game developer seems to "abandon" Their older game for a new & supossedly better game, id software in their quest, "elevate" their older games, imo. And don't forget when they finally add Doom 64 to the chronology. Amazing.

[@Hellknight5644]

the game looks dope as hell i love it cant wasit til it launches next year

[@kingjohn8980]

Eternal was missing the kick and impact that 2016 had so I’m glad that The Dark Ages is bringing it back and to a further extent. This game is gonna be awesome.

[@marduk5424]

Could you elaborate on what the "kick and impact" is? I'm a bit confused

[@FACF0416]

Probably the best Doom game EVER made this time.

[@jan5915]

​@@marduk5424The gameplay was too fast to make all the individual gunshots feel really impactful. You have the same thing with metal, where some prefer slower-paced subgenres where riffs have more room to breath.

[@kingjohn8980]

@@marduk5424 an example would be going from the Gauss Cannon in 2016 to the Ballista in Eternal. They fill the same role of being a precise, heavy hitting gun that does damage but the Gauss Cannon felt and sounded like ultra powerful weapon of destruction while the Ballista just feels and sounds sub-par.

[@WarningStrangerDanger]

The original title, "Year Zero," didn't have the same problem as "Dark Ages." People keep thinking it takes place in 14th century Europe.

[@mcsquared5005]

I think year zero was a bad name though. Doom The Dark Ages is way more iconic and bad ass

[@justsomeguyontheinternet5898]

Eh maybe? I feel as if as soon as someone sees even a spec of gameplay their probably realize it isn’t really medieval Europe. Besides the fact a doom game says “dark ages” does would probably interesting to some people.

[@purgejmi]

I'd love a giant greatsword or the crusible as a melee weapon. It'd also be awesome if he 's gifted his Doom 2016 armor sometime in the story which in the lore made him even more badass 😎. I'm going to call it now and say the game will end with you being tricked by the Hell Priests and having a giant temple dropped on your head, which would lead straight into Doom 2016 thousands of years later.

[@knightmareslayer1386]

I actually don't like this trailer at all. Why? Because we have to wait at least 6 months before the game's release 🙂Ok all BS aside, Dark Ages looks to be something amazing. Then again, this is ID Software. ZOS and Beth could learn something from them. Thanks for the RNT Gaming 🙂

[@tannerbruning868]

I’m definitely being negative but I will admit I’m not a big fan of doomguy’s armor in this it’s too much detail and stray’s too far from his iconic look IMO A lot if the weapons seem over designed to, everything feels aesthetically closer to warhammer then doom, I wish the shotgun had stayed looking more human made. I think the issue is i need to keep in mind this may be closer to a spinoff than the next mainline entry. I’m also a little worried locations will become repetitive, In doom eternal we got a good mix of setting, human facilities on earth, knight sentinel structures, hell, and urdak, But im worried this game will focus exclusively on sentinel locations.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

I'm a bit concerned. I didn't see dashing or double jumping. If it's too much like 2016 it's gonna be a let down. I haven't gone back to 2016 since eternal came out. It's a braindead boring game now that eternal is an option Really hope this isn't like that

[@blazkowicz_the_3rd810]

Double jump? Probably not, because no UAC boots. Dashing? Well i saw the shield dash, it wont be the main mobility option, but im sure it will be used.

[@eggboy9126]

Don’t think it’s gonna be like eternal or 2016. Looking like its focus will be on dodging projectiles and spending most of your time on the ground. I question if it even has jumping.

[@HugoStiglitz88]

@blazkowicz_the_3rd810 that's gonna really suck if so. I'm gonna hate it if they make a doom where you're slow and planted to the ground. Might as well have just made a quake game at that point
