Doom - The Dark Ages (2025)

Hopefully all that metal is galvanised, else the blood is gonna rust it all up fairly sharp surely

That made me laugh way too much

Looks good just way too fast for my old man gaming habits these days

Finally an excuse to buy a 1000hz screen and a 5090 though eh ?

Think of the higher latency though, the latency!

I thought you primarily played single player games like me?

 

[mrk]

Yes, input latency affects SP games

Very much looking forward to this game though, another glorious path traced title, good time to be a #RTXON gamer

Whilst blackwell is a bit underwhelming from initial specs, I suspect we will see some nice optimisations for blackwell over previous rtx gpus especially where new RT tech is used and I won't be surprised if we start seeing these big path traced titles like doom to be using it. AW 2 is getting some of this stuff and I won't be surprised to see other older titles getting updates especially in the nvidia sponsored titles.

Interesting on the hit detection. Only time i've noticed hit detection doing something is when in PVP years ago, the rest of the time i don't recognise it as it has just always worked since hit boxes got tighter. Doom is what i consider mostly a single player game, i can't see the tech making any difference to me at all.

Projectile weapons more fun anyway.
Spray and pray.
Bouncing shots.
Trip style bombs.
Cluster bombs.
Blast radiuses.

Can't wait, it looks like so much fun!

I hope it's more Doom 2016 than Eternal, the latter was not proper Doom.

Why not have a BR mode too?

Yeah, same, the extra mechanics (gripping onto walls etc) were a real PITA for me. Keep it simple please
