I'm going to make the controversial statement and say
I really liked Doom 3
it's a good action horror game.
However the new Doom is clearly the game they should have made and though I have not played it, I can tell I'll like it better than Doom 3.
Just shit loads of monsters coming at me whilst I make it rain with a chaingun.
I liked Doom 3.
I had some pretty cool speakers for my computer at the time.
I was playing a night, in the dark, with the sound cranked waaaay up. I was creeping along, as you do in that game, and my center channel fell off my monitor and landed on my keyboard.
Question about the campaign (I've only watched the early minutes of this)
Does the game keep up the running gag of Doom Marine actively shunning Mysterious Guy Who Is In Constant Radio Contact With You? Because that joke was amazing.
Yes, but they also drop the ball on it quite a few times where you're just stuck waiting for exposition. Being able to skip them via Doomguy tantrums would have been appreciated.
I'm guessing Dr. Hayden sends you to Hell at the end, as a means of keeping you far away. Following that, and given his Mars facility is wrecked/everyone is dead, I imagine he'll take his operation back to Earth and shit will go wrong again, causing an Earth invasion and Doomguy will either return via that, or Hayden summons him back as a last resort. Cue Hell on Earth.
If they're really bold, they could have bonus game/episode/dlc/expansion that chronicles Doomguys exploits and escape from Hell inbetween the two games; call it "Thy Flesh Consumed" or something to the like.
Stuff I'd like to see in a sequel.
-Two-fer glory kills: Like, if you have two guys staggered, you can slam their heads into each other
-Brass Knuckles: If you're back on earth, it'd be neat to find some brass knuckles as an homage to the original. Maybe they give different glory kill opportunities?
-Coop: Self explanatory. Imagine if there were multi-person glory kills.
-Arachnotrons: Now that the Spider Mastermind has come and gone, lets see these little bastards.
-Arch-Viles: By far the most devious enemy in Doom II. I'm not sure how you make them 100% as big as fuckers as that without having corpses to ressurect. Maybe he pops demons out of staggered states? You could just make him a summoner I guess, but we already have the Summoners. Unless you wanted to make him a boss one of those.
-As mentioned, an ability to Doomguy your way out of exposition and cutscenes. (By being a big asshole and breaking something).
I just picked this up from Redbox. I'm really excited to give it a shot. The enthusiasm for this game on the Bombcast was infectious.

Hayden's chest and abdomen are in the shape of the baphomet head from end of doom 2, so aside from him being satan ( s hayden ) they could send u to earth in next gam and u fight him at the end. full on doom2 recap

I have been unable to replay the original Doom and Doom 2.
Doom I just had the usual shareware copy of back in the 90's, but I did pick up a full copy of Doom 2 from a friend when it came out. I played that intensely for hours a day for what must have been a couple of weeks. Playing it and working my way through levels, needing to redo most of the later ones several times over, was very compelling to me, but was unknowingly stressful as well. Some time after I had finished the last level, and had re-done it several times over for entertainment, I decided to give a go at replaying the whole thing.
I didn't even get through the first level. I just...couldn't play it. Not again. I wanted to, but I I couldn't make myself do it for more than a couple of minutes. Playing it as I did had stressed me out too much. Ever since then, any attempt to play a variant of Doom has failed.
There have been a few other games over the years that have produced a similar result.

I almost shit myself.
They should do the original levels just with the new graphics and engine. That would be a blast.
Or some hacks? I would love to go through this again with everything unlocked and not have to bother with exploration on a harder difficulty.

And they did it while still keeping Doomguy silent
He does not care about anyone's shit, at all, in the slightest
Rip

There's also one that makes enemies only be killed by glory kills.

This is a classic-id quality game from a version of id without any of those classic people
Yes I still remember those from heart.

Heretic or Spear of Destiny?

May pick this one up when it goes on sale, just to have another steam game that I'll never actually get around to downloading, let alone playing.

You can replay missions from the menu and you keep all your weapons and upgrades.
as far as I've seen no
Fuck that is brutal. Going to go find the soundtrack and draw lots of skulls.
Oh I didn't know there were threesome minigames in Doom
Remember Drawn to Death
Was that quietly canceled or something
Has a 2016 release window. I imagine we'll see more at E3.
I can't seem to find anyone to play with.

me too. luckily the upgrades are largely unimportant. the base guns are good enough to handle everything anyway.
Where the hell is the blue keycard
Oh okay, I didn't realize that body was hiding on the other side of that crate
Also GOTY (so far)
Ah well, only lost $15 on it
Holy fucking shit.
I'm about halfway through, and loving absolutely every second of it.
Fuck. FUCK. I'm so fucking happy about this game.
