DOOM launch expectations, hopes and fears

As you all Probably already know by now, it´s less than two weeks left now until ID Software unleashes "Doom" up on the world. So these would be mine (Robin Ek, TGG) expectations, hopes and fears for the Doom launch next week.

Simon_the_sorcerer2928d ago

Hmm, I think I´ll just wait until the reviews start to drop in. You know, just to be on the safe side.

TGG_overlord2928d ago

I "might" get a review code for PC, but if I don´t. Then I´m going to wait as well.

Sciurus_vulgaris2928d ago

The game has an after launch embargo, which is not a good sign,despite the campaign looking very promising.

TGG_overlord2928d ago

Oh...Yes, that´s not a good sign for sure. Hmm, I wonder what they (Bethesda) will tell me? Because apparently I will get the PC code the day before the launch (so I´ve been told).

TGG_overlord2928d ago

May I ask where you heard that from? Because it seems like some console players have already received their copy of Doom...

StrawberryDiesel4202927d ago

Agree but I still think it's gonna get a lot of 8's and a few 9's. The campaign will be fun I'm sure. I also like that it's coming out Friday the 13th.

FlameBaitGod2927d ago

This game will bomb hard lol, maybe the SP will be fun....

Littil_Devil2928d ago

I Think I´m just going to wait for the first PC-reviews to drop in, because I´m not 100% sure about this one.

TGG_overlord2928d ago

Well, if I don´t get that PC review code that I´ve been promised. Then I´m going to wait, because "Doom" has a 60 Euro price tag via Steam...

pompombrum2928d ago

Who pays full price on steam? cdkeys.com have the game for a lot cheaper and you can get a further discount with the code DOOM666

Simon_the_sorcerer2928d ago

At this very moment, it feels like Doom could end up becoming either great or really, really bad. Quite frankly, I´m somewhat nervous to see what the outcome will be.

TGG_overlord2928d ago

I think that there is going to be quite a big difference between the PC and the console reviews. And it´s also going to be a matter of "Single player" Vs the "Multiplayer experience". Simple put, will both mode's rock or suck? Or will just one of them rock?

pompombrum2928d ago

For me I'll keep my expectations in check, it'll be a stop game until Overwatch. I enjoyed the alpha and beta though so regardless of how the SP turns out, I know I'll have a blast with the MP

TGG_overlord2928d ago

I´m glad to hear it =) May I ask if you play on console or PC? And do you have an AMD or Intel PC? Because one of my friends had huge problems with Doom on his AMD PC. Thanks in advance!

pompombrum2928d ago

PC, I play on an Alienware laptop with an Intel processor, worked fine for me with no issues.

Paytaa2928d ago

It's one of those games where I don't care about any review. I loved the beta. Gameplay, graphics, and sound were all great to me and I've been a Doom fan for a long time.

I know I'll enjoy it and will be getting it day one

TGG_overlord2928d ago

Then may you have an awesome launch day experience =)

Paytaa2927d ago

Thank you. I'll definitely reflect my take on the game after I play here on N4G

TGG_overlord2928d ago

@aiBreeze
Ah, thanks for the info =) I´m an Intel user as well ;) Well, at least for now.

Samus is on the list. Personally I'd swap the Space Marines with either Grey Fox from MGS or the COG armor from Gears of War.

NecrumOddBoy366d ago

You’re right. Hiding at the bottom so I missed it

REDGUM366d ago

There's no Dead Space listed in here, WTF!

Sciurus_vulgaris366d ago (Edited 366d ago )

I’d take the Space Marine power armour off the list due to it not originating in a video game.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Immagaiden373d ago

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar373d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter373d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313373d ago (Edited 373d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981373d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman373d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.

I don't understand the hate Doom 3 got, but the original has to be tops for me too.
