Didn't Mick get into a big argument about something?

Yeah they messed him about with regards to deadlines and payment and then lied in an Open Letter about it. Or at least that is how I see it.

My full statement regarding DOOM Eternal

This statement is issued in response to id Software Studio Director Marty Stratton’s “DOOM Eternal OST Open Letter”, published on Reddit.

Just scanning through that, Stratton comes off as an UTTER ****.

Never did finish Doom Eternal but I will have to before this comes out!

One of the biggest disasspointments with this is there will be no Mick Gordon soundtrack. Got to imagine it'll be Andrew Hulshult and David Levy again as with the Eternal DLCs ..which I've still not played. They are no Mick Gordon but I've heard people saying good things. Although following on from the main games already established sound track with some stuff for a few DLCs is very different task from doing a completely fresh soundtrack for a new game... so we shall see.

Hmmm yes Hulshult is decent, I loved the Quake Champions menu theme before I had ever heard of him. Never heard of Levy even though I did enjoy the Eternal soundtrack. Will have a look.

I don't think my motion sickness can handle this. :cry:

Yeah Hulshult is good, though maybe not Mick Gordon level of really getting into the science of a soundtrack. Another one who can do good Doom and Quake music is Michael Markie.

That's why I couldn't carry on with Eternal. All that jumping etc made me ill

Although I can't see it happening anytime soon, I'd still like to see id software work on something a bit like Doom 3's slower-paced, deeper story-driven experience.
Still looking forward to this, though!

My 4gb rx480 just had a heart attack watching that trailer. Hopefully I'll have my GPU upgrade before this releases.

Oh ****, wasn't expecting this. I'm still yet to play Eternal after the reviews though. This new entry hopefully addresses Eternal's downfalls, as the new additions look great.

Edit
Yeah new Quake would be amazing. My preference to the Strogg style Quake though.

Looking good. Let’s see the reviews when it come out.

My Samsung Odyssey awaits the chaos! Hopefully early 2025!?

Doom 3 has my second favourite piece of Doom music after Sign of Evil.

So cold, hostile and foreboding wish they'd make a Doom around that.

This Doom Eternal?

DOOM Eternal

DOOM Eternal is the direct sequel to 2016's DOOM. Developed by id Software, DOOM Eternal delivers the ultimate combination of speed and power, along with the next leap in push-forward, first-person combat. As the DOOM Slayer, you’ll return to take your vengeance against the forces of Hell. Set...

Pretty decent review scores I would argue.

I love Doom but can't help feel that if they're going down a medieval route then why not just give us another Quake game like Q1

Doom Eternal is amazing. As someone that hated my first playthrough I thought it sucked, but I played again last year, upped the difficulty and really got to grips with the game systems and its easily my fav Doom outside of the original.

I've always preferred the ambient style of music to the rock-themed works, though I think both have their place.

Love Aubrey Hodges's work on PSX Doom, Quake 64, and Quake II 64. :cool:
