Fans replace Doom Eternal's mumble rap trailer music with Mick Gordon's metal

Doom Eternal's new TV spot unexpectedly features mumble rap music, which does not quite fit the occasion. Luckily, Doom fans have made their own version, packed with Mick Gordon's aggressive industrial metal riffs.

lellkay1554d ago

Whatever it is it has no place in a doom trailer.

xxShadow-Shockxx1553d ago

don't get me wrong, i agree, the song in the actual trailer doesn't fit at all, the replacement song is so much better for the doom trailer.

LordoftheCritics1553d ago (Edited 1553d ago )

The person who decided on the music should be the main villain in the game.

SyntheticForm1553d ago

Agreed.

Though I'm certainly no fan of rap, I think it does work in certain instances and a DOOM game is definitely not one of them.

DOOM has always been metal and it always should be.

spicelicka1553d ago

Yea it's actually a decent song, although it doesn't suit DOOM at all. I was preparing for some unnecessary screaming in my ear but the guitar in the replacement was wayy better.

Muzikguy1553d ago

True it isn't but I don't know how they thought it fit the trailer

UnSelf1553d ago

cant wait to see the article stating "Garbage Rock&Roll replaced with Hip-Hop." Cant you imagine the size of the fire thatll be started?

CaptainObvious8781552d ago

Does anyone else thing almost all rap is worse than a group of dying cats scratching chalk boards and "gangsta" rappers are nothing but insufferable, tryhard douches?

That's bot mumble rap. Its generic pop rap. Dont see why fans should care, this is a pop trailer to get the normies and dudebros at the gym see it on ESPN and want to buy it. It helps convert normies to fans.

MrDead1554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

This is DOOM not Bud Light!

It should tear your f******g head off and s**t down your neck with metal!

MWH1554d ago

That's the doing of some other dude who was all out of gum.

annoyedgamer1553d ago

So? More fans means more get tor enjoy the death metal. Eze them in.

Hungryalpaca1553d ago

It makes the marketing team look confused.

Let’s advertise Halo next with some Ariana Grande.

Lennoxb631553d ago

Depends on what Ariana is singing.

Edgelordsupreme1553d ago

Imagine using the term normies with a straight face.

lellkay1554d ago

Bethesda really are plonkers

Shuckylad1554d ago

A little to complimentary for me.

Smokehouse1553d ago

“Plonker” is the greatest British contribution to human society.

yoshatabi1554d ago

No music genre should ever die

Dom_Estos1553d ago

Dubstep should die, be put down a pit, have petrol poured on it, set alight, then nuked just to be sure.

Silly gameAr1554d ago

Yea, I'd rather have someone screaming in my ear for 5 minutes straight.

Immorals1553d ago

Shit rap should die. Good rap is harder to find, but is great. Still doesn't suit a doom trailer, but there you go.

Parasyte1553d ago

Same thing with metal. You gotta dig through a lot of garbage before you find the really good bands.

TheProfessional1553d ago (Edited 1553d ago )

Some rap is super entertaining and great to get inebriated to but let's be honest, it is not really music. There aren't even instruments involved and the actual rapping has gotten so much worse with migos etc. just making sounds (skkrt skkrrt). EDM isn't real music either, just rich kids with laptops stringing sounds together. Regardless of opinions rap has no place in a doom trailer though.

Casepb1553d ago

Careful that talk is no better than SJW talk. Just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean it has no right to exist.

AnubisG1553d ago

Rap can be good but the wast majority is complete shit.

Rap does not go well with fighting games or shooters....or any game to be honest.

QuePasa871553d ago

It worked well for the Def Jam games :P

And what about THUG 2 and Parappa :P

AnubisG1553d ago

QuePasa87

You got me there. Rap works in games that are made with rap in mind.😆

chiefJohn1171553d ago

Highly disagree. Rap goes great with fighting games.

White people is mad at rap being in video game trailers again.

ShadowWolf7121553d ago

Bro, black people and white people have come together to take a dump on that TV spot. lol

That song was BEYOND unfitting.

UnholyLight1553d ago

Way to make it about race. 2K19/20 in a nutshell people

AnubisG1553d ago (Edited 1553d ago )

Why do you boile this down to racism?

CaptainObvious8781552d ago

"White people ARE mad at....." not ïs".

If you're going to be a racist, at least your proper English.

Steam Account Transfer Via Will on Death is Not Permitted, Valve Confirms

In case you were curious, a Steam account transfer via will is not permitted according to an official response from Valve.

anast18h ago

The games are theirs. People just pay to ride the ride.

Skuletor1h ago

Would be nice if the article's writer looked into and reported whether other digital game libraries could be transferred over via will (Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, EGS, EA app, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, Rockstar Launcher etc) instead of this half-baked piece but it's probably the same for all of them anyway

Kornholic1h ago

This seems like a way bigger issue than mandatory PSN account linking for PlayStation games.

So where is the outcry?

Skuletor1h ago

It's not like PlayStation is doing any different.

"You may not sell, buy, trade, or transfer your Online ID, Account or any personal access to PSN Services through any means or method, including by use of web sites."

NotoriousWhiz1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

It's not like your account just stops working when you die. Include your email, account id, and password in the will (including the password to your email) and your survivors should have no problem using your games.

thorstein39m ago

So just give your progeny the passwords.

OtterX0m ago

Keep the password sealed in the Will, only to be opened after death. :)

[Exclusive] Xbox Reaches Agreement With Batman: Arkham Trilogy Creators For A New AAA Game

Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.

Lightning7714h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan12h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer199212h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning7711h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink9h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

Dirty_Lemons5h ago

I loved the old Punisher game back in the day. Those executions never got old.

porkChop4h ago

I don't think it needs to be Marvel. It needs to be a totally new IP. That's what Rocksteady should have done after Arkham City. They've pigeonholed themselves as DC devs.

MIDGETonSTILTS1712h ago(Edited 12h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv7212h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot12h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink9h ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning779h ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

Profchaos8h ago

The more the news evolves the more I'm inclined to believe we will see MS embrace full third party status but not call it third party in their word soup ways.

It will be Xbox everywhere plays best on a Xbox.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be a reference design similar to the 3d0 where any company can make and sell it.

If you're offloading hardware costs to a third party yet still profiting from the games then you've cut out losses on the hardware you still have a store front that users can use and still make a 30 percent cut on that.

Your games sell for a profit on PS and Nintendo platforms and on Xbox reference hardware along with PC

You lose .kney on DLC and games sold on a competitor storefront they are seemingly already comfortable with this.

The ms bean counters are coming for the ROI that was promised they don't care if they kill the brand as it stands Xbox was never a profitable business it was always just done for reputation

PhillyDonJawn8h ago

@Lightning the would end the console then. No one would buy Xbox over PS at that point cause now you get both with just a PS. If GP flop for them, Logically, rolling back on GP would be the smarter than to do. No more day 1 title. Less quality titles. They'd lose subs but people would go back to buying the games.

Lightning776h ago

@Philly They could scale back gamepass put Indies only, AAA 1st party games coming 4 to 6 months from release. The thing is MS will have to tell their fans to buy their games again and that's gonna take years and years to condition them to buy games again. MS will lose money from that also. They'll lose out on gamepass revenue, lose out on games sales because their fans don't buy as many games anymore.

I can't see them scaling back or axing gamepass it does make them allot of money, they just want more money from it. They're not gonna condition their fans to start buying games either.

As I said they'll go full 3rd party and yes you ate right, if they do that then there would be no reason to buy the next Xbox. I know j won't be, you better hope the next 6 months they advertise the games and GP there little hearts out because this could be it.

Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?

rlow110h ago

Gears is another big game one.

purple10110h ago

Yeh big game, do you know the name of the lead character. Or team of lead characters. I don’t

rlow110h ago

Marcus, Dom, Cole Train. And I can’t remember the fourth.

Profchaos8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Also the chick from gears 5 seems to pop up on all their modern advertising I can't remember her name either.

Cars also feature heavily in a Xbox ad it's always master chief front and centre with cars and maybe a gears character hanging around

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 19h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga18h ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj6h ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia1d 17h ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!
