Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 EXCLUSIVE: DOOM: The Dark Ages to be Revealed at Xbox Games Showcase - Insider Gaming INSIDER-GAMING.COM Insider Gaming understands that the next DOOM called called 'DOOM: The Dark Ages' will be revealed at the Xbox Games Showcase. Quote Insider Gaming understands that the next game in the DOOM franchise is set to be revealed during this year’s Xbox Games Showcase on June 9. The game, which has been under the codename/placeholder title ‘Year Zero’ is understood to have the final name ‘DOOM: The Dark Ages’ and has been in development for at least four years. Last year, I heard of early details of the next entry into the DOOM franchise, which was described to me as a ‘medieval inspired doom world’. While that doesn’t necessarily give much information to go on, ‘year zero’, ‘the dark ages’, and ‘medieval inspired’ starts to paint a vivid picture of where the series could be going next. Perhaps we’ll be taking more of an early look at the Doomslayer’s life during the medieval times? A prequel of sorts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 1 minute ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: That too! Im like fine with it too. But that is the only annoying thing to me because I always wanted them to go back to the Quake1 style and now they apparently will but with the wrong name. BUT It’s definitely something I want to play no matter what it is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Cool, I'm in. I hope they don't keep making them harder and harder. I love these games but suck at shooters now in my old age. I have to play on easy mode. The last expansion pack they released was way too difficult to be fun. I couldn't get through it even on diaper baby mode. It just wasn't enjoyable. It was very frustrating.

CitizenVectron Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I really enjoyed the recent DOOM, but I haven't played DOOM Eternal. I'll likely give this a try, though, as I like non-gun shooters quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Yes, Eternal was very good. As for being non-gun... I wouldn't count on that. I would be shocked if they made a DOOM game that didn't have guns. I mean, anything is possible, but I doubt that's the direction they go in. If they wanted to do that they shouldn't call it DOOM. My least favorite part of the new DOOM games was the story. DOOM shouldn't really have a story and if it needs to have a story it shouldn't that goofy ass weird story. Not only was the story weird, but it was weird and poorly told.

Brick Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 I was recently thinking it's about time we get another Doom game since it's been 4 years since Eternal (which I still haven't gotten around to buying). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 24 Author Share Posted May 24 I guess they hinted about the setting three years ago: Where does Doom go next? WWW.POLYGON.COM This is the Doom Slayer’s world, we just kill in it Quote Could we tell a story about when [the Doom Slayer] first came to that place with the Sentinels, almost like a more medieval setting, a fantasy setting?" Martin asked. "I think as you play the DLC, too, you'll see lots of hints of what we could do moving forward. Maybe even in the future. Again, our hero is somewhat timeless — I mean, literally, he's immortal. So we could tell all kinds of stories." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the simplest way to be consistent with their messaging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 What’s crazy is Quake 1 and Quake 2 are phenomenal games to this day. Still love playing both of them in the various versions. And as a multiplayer game Quake 3 is exceptional and actually even Quake 4 is quite good I hear. I do need to try that. I know this is about Doom and it sounds great but damnnn I want me some Quake after all this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Sounds great. DOOM 2016 and Eternal are the two greatest FPS campaigns of all time so consider me excited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbsolutSurgen Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 The Doom reboot was awesome. Doom: Eternal was slightly less so due to the jumping puzzles. Optimistic about the next thing that they do. But, I was hoping they iterated on the formula, rather than making a hard turn to a different time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I beat Eternal at its release and don't remember anything. Since it's on gamepass I might give this another try. For those that played it, are there difficulty options? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Eternal has an easy difficulty. It got amazing reviews. I'm going to check it out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 I only like Eternal for the reason that people don’t like Eternal but it’s been a good platformer year so I’ll let this one be straight boomer shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
