Doom Revealed!

Bethesda and id Software have finally revealed Doom to the public and what a reveal it was!

Some multiplayer details

Release in Spring 2016.
Walking/running speed really is fast.
The previously (at QuakeCon 2014) mentioned double jump is a second "mid-air jump".
Doom seems to have received some sort of railgun weapon (seen at 00:18 mark of the multiplayer trailer linked below).
Mentioned game modes included Domination, Freeztag and Clan Arena. No word on TDM or CTF.
Content creation, and distribution will be controlled through Bethesda's "Snapmaps."
"Doom Snapmaps" allows users also create custom game modes like classic Deathmatch, or a Co-op mode where you have to kill waves of demons.
A multiplayer power-up was shown which when taken transforms the player into a Revenant -- this will be the equivelent of a Quad Damage.
In multiplayer, players will spawn with "some good weapons."

what sort of specs do you think it'll need?

a good gfx card like Nvidia GFX 970 or AMD R9 290x and better, cpu min. quadcore Intel i5 or AMD FX x8

Release in spring 2016, so you still have almost a year to upgrade. ;)

I still have no idea where they mentioned tdm btw. :X

The only thing close to that was when he said you could make a classic deathmath mode in snapmaps so it would be possible to create.

Nothing about it being in the default game though

Yeah exactly.

looks pretty awesome!
that holograph thingy at 5:00 reminded me of prometheus.

NEEDS CTF!

Looks awesome! Sure hoping for CTF though.

It looks so awesome. I can already see the quake map remakes in the snapmaps tool. I wonder if there will be any sort of complex movement or not.

I'm a little bummed out to see those melee kill animations in MP. I hope they dont make you invincible during them and they make them optional.

Snapmaps is the most important part of this for the arena fps audience. Depending on its capabilities it seems to offer the ability for players to create any mode bethesda leave out and alter any mode they fuck up as well as creating solid mp maps. Basically the community can patch up the game with proper content after release

I was a bit disappointed in the lack of color variety in the SP presentation. All the monsters kinda had the same brown color with the hell environment also looking brown and the mars one the same yellowish all throughout. Only the mancubus with its green glowing stood out there (And some blue item, maybe a megahealth in the hell level but the player didn't pick that up).

But after watching the multiplayer trailer a few times and seeing that had about 10x the amount of colors i'm guessing the SP will have more colorful parts as well. ;)

I hope they can give some more specifics about movement/multiplayer etc at Quakecon with a PC focus. These types of hype presentations don't interest me much, so little actual information. They're making Doom with multiplayer which is good, snapmap looks promising. I didn't get much more out of the presentation but I'm hoping for the best.

this looks pretty good overall!

ive read a few comments befor watching the videos. dont get some of the negativity in the reddit threads for example.
the takedown looks like lots of fun for a singleplayer mode. i hope adding it to the ending of the multiplayer video ist just for the videos sake :)

the movement speed was pretty good aswell. it looked slow in the multiplayer video, and in some parts of the singleplayer video aswell. but during that hell fight scene, the doomguy was running around really fast.

the only thing that i kind of didnt like, was that the chainsaw seemed like an insta-scripted-kill weapon. after he picked it up, i was kind of expecting the enemies to gradually become stronger until one isnt instakilled, kind of tutorial-like. but they all just got this horrific death animation and were done with.

tasty

I don't see why this should work for e-sports. Snapmaps is cool but they might have done such a thing for quake. The only good thing about DooM is that it will look great - for spectators. To be fair, that is something. But everyone else will downgrade the graphics to no end. I can't help it, but I'm afraid we might see a lot of problems that games like Quake have solved already - at least to some extent: bad netcode, unresponsive engine due to too much fuss going on in the background, bad FPS on mediocre systems etc.

So, I won't get my hopes up. id has disappointed too many times in the past.

"In multiplayer, players will spawn with "some good weapons.""

Loadouts confirmed.

Can someone explain where doom lies in terms of multiplayer? e.g. speed, complexity of movement, weapons, arena style

I've never played earlier iterations but that trailer looks bloody awesome. But I need to know which part of my gaming heart this game belongs in :p

The SP gameplay makes it look so slow and consolified.
