****Official Doom 4 Thread****

[BuffetSlayer]

Personally I think one of the best version of Doom was the playstation 1 version. The chain gun actually sounded meaty, unlike the pew pew sound on the PC version and the atmosphere was a bit more creepy with ambient haunting background music rather than the cheesy electronic derived music from the PC version

^^ I'm with you on that. Loved the PS1 version. Never did like the pc music.

Sacrilege!

Am I the only one that thinks this looks great?

Huge Doom 1 & 2 fan, not so much 3 tbh.

Nah man, very excited for this. Looks like it's going to be an absolute blast!

55gb is utterly ridiculous, how is that even possible?

Might mean they put the effort in this time, could be wrong.

Might be something to do with the idtech 6 engine. RAGE ran on the idtech 5 engine, didn't that have a hefty installation too? Maybe it's to do with the megatextures?

Yeah its the megatextures and the ability to potentially make every texel unique on a surface.

Must admit, I haven't been as excited as this about a new title for a long, long time.

^^ Going by that link, I can't say I'm too sure about what version I bought? Bought mine from CDKeys (if indeed that info does relate to different versions?).

I think that'll be the most amount of disk space I'll have used on a game so far.

BF4 actually tops that, with the expansions its 64.6 gigs.

Vulkan API running on Doom.. How good does the SP look

 

[Gerard]

Looks nice, looking forward to running it in 4k

 

[BuffetSlayer]

Watching that reminds me of Quake 3, specifically a mod I used to play called 3wave capturestrike which was pretty damned fast and had instant weapon changes.

Think i will have to buy this game because I have bought every Doom game going over the years. I'm not totally convinced it will live up to the name and the history of the franchise but I believe I will struggle to say it's a bad game for the money. I think one of the only games I could say that for, even though I paid peanuts, was Duke Nukem Forever. Jeez that game was pure ****! Lol

Wow, sp looks stunning, next Friday can't come soon enough .

This is more like it! I now see it was just the disabled console version that put me off in the earlier videos. This however looks great.

The Vulkan API also looks like its working great on the 1080 so lets hope its as good with current high end GPUs.

I'll be happy with >60fps @1440p on my 980Ti

 

[shankly1985]

The choice now is should I wait for Vulkan API patch before playing haaa

 

[Drollic]

I have a feeling this will melt my clocked 780 even at 1080p.

 

[arc@css]

Looks fantastic. Can't wait.

 

[stooeh]

@shankly

Wow that looks really good, amazing the difference when you see it played at pace with mouse and keyboard

 

[Mark A]

The single player looks faster than the multiplayer lol. Have to admit it does look fun.

 

[arc@css]

Does the Vulkan API give a better frame rate or does it give improvements to the appearance as well?
