Doom is my favorite videogame of all times and when I say Doom, I mean the entire franchise. I got Doom Eternal and Doom 2016 and I just ordered Doom Slayers Edition which has all the Doom games in 1 package even though I already have Doom 2016.

My favorite of them all so far is Doom 2016. I'm not so good at Eternal because of the Super Mario platforming sections. I just like to run and gun which is all the 2016 version has.

I can't wait for Dark Ages. For me, I like Doom better than the FromSoft games. I'm 41 and I grew up playing Doom on computer. I still remember the God Mode password. IDDQD and when you type that code in, Doom Guy's eyes turn gold and he becomes invincible

Doom Slayer is the most powerful character in all of fiction which is something people don't realize and refuse to believe. He's cool as fuck and he can solo all of the Marvel, DC, Dragon Ball Z, Monsterverse, universes without breaking a sweat. He is written that way. The only character that can tie with Doom Slayer in a fight is Popeye.



I nearly passed out when that trailer dropped. I looked like Chuck on cocaine



I'm trying to find a good Doom Slayer action figure to put on my fireplace shelf.

Man I love Doom Slayer more than all you guys do.

I loved Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal, and the Dark Ages looks like it will also be an awesome time, but notwithstanding that I completely respect @Clippy ’s decision to forego playing any of these games. He likes what he likes and it’s completely disingenuous to suggest that he needs to play these newer titles. They share the same name, many of the same weapons and enemies, but they don’t play a thing like Doom/Doom II. Forcing Clippy to play Doom Eternal would probably go about as well as when John Romero tried it out and died like 45 times on the first level.

i just dont understand why they dont make Hexen

i just dont understand why they dont make Hexen

Hexen was not an id software game. It was made by Raven Software, licensing the Doom engine and with John Romero executive producing the title. Furthermore the IP belonged to Activision, not id Software, so even if they wanted to make a Hexen game, legally they’d only be able to now since Microsoft bought Activision in October bringing id and Raven together under one umbrella of ownership. So if they want to make a new Hexen it would be years away.

I recently read Romero’s biography and he talks about how licensing the Doom engine to Raven for them to make Heretic and Hexen was mostly just a way to generate another income stream to keep the lights on during the two years of Quake’s development following release of Doom 2 in 1994. At that time a two-year development cycle for a game was unbelievably long.


Setting all that aside Hexen is basically a niche title from 29 years ago with like 1% of the brand recognition among gamers today compared to Doom and I think the prospect of a Hexen game being prioritized over Doom is like a one in a million chance.

Good shit. Have they said anything about a release window, even a broad one like simply “2025”? It will be five years in March since Eternal dropped, it would be nice if Dark Ages comes out next year and not making us wait to 2026 or beyond.

Considering Doom Eternal was the best single player optimized game ever released. Let them cook!

We will probably get a new trailer at Gamescom. Let's go. I am hyped for this.

I'm so nervous about the coming changes. I love Eternal's movement and Hugo has already said verticality is out and tankiness is in. Hopefully we can still whip around horizontally or something.

With Eternals DLC they went to the absolute edge with its arena shooter gameplay. Its gotta get dialed way down for at least the base game here.

Yeah you're probably right and I'm sure I'll love whatever they come up with.

A part of me is just not ready to move on from Eternal's combat yet. I feel like when I stopped playing a couple years ago I had just started to play properly and there's so much room for improvement. The game has such a high skill ceiling.

But with the new official mod support there should be some wicked mods coming out in the next year. Now people can make new arenas and levels so that game could see a revival until Dark Ages gets released.
