The release of the latest DOOM is right around the corner so its fitting that media from the game is being released at a steady clip. Just like the guns in the game. Ooh, pun! In the latest trailer, not-so-cryptically-titled 'Demons, Power Weapons & Power-Ups' we get a look at the Demons, Power Weapons & well, you get the picture. The mere mention of Power Weapons and DOOM in the same sentence naturally leads to the natural end-point for all handheld weaponry, the '9' on your keyboard, the BFG. Which can be seen in the final moments of the trailer.



Now, apart from the appearance of the BFG, probably the most interesting addition to DOOM's multiplayer is the introduction of powerful Demons, which serve as power-ups of the giant monster variety. Although the above trailer is an action and spectacle driven slice of the game, it certainly looks like Demons will play a major role in the flow of multiplayer matches. Which is either a good or bad thing. Judging by the footage we've seen so far, we're leaning towards good.

DOOM releases on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on May 13.

It's not going to handle like Quake, but it still looks great.

They all essentially say what each other person is saying though.

played a few matches and it was fun but there's a few things i dislike.

it's not nearly as fast as i was hoping.

fov is low and no fov slider in sight. lots of missing settings customization. probably just a beta thing.

loadouts suck! i want all the weapons.

not sure where servers are hosted. each match i had a different ping ranging from 80-400+

also why the hell do i have to use the scroll wheel to change weapons? i couldn't see any option to bind them to keys. sure, you only have access to 2 weapons at a time but it feels so damn clumsy having to use the scroll wheel.

For changing FOV...

Kind Old Raven said this:

You need to go to Steam launch options and add the following, one for convenience, and one for FoV ;) +set g_fov 106 +set com_skipintrovideo 1

Just had a few games of this, pretty fun. I spotted NachoJustice in one of my games. Took a few rounds to get my bearings, the low FOV is quite distracting and I found myself continually trying to hit a run button to go faster, well it was always the shift key for me in Doom.

Really looking forward to the single player campaign and though it's not planned to have co-op support, I'd imagine there will be a mod for it at some point.

Looks way too slow IMO.

Just f*****g remaster Quake with 4k textures and move on people!

Heh @ that video. I'm not sure what else you would expect though; it was always going to be more Halo than Quake.

Console platforms are where the dollars are for shooters = game must be designed for control pads = movement must be slow/item carry must be limited.

Slowing it down so much and limiting the item carry removes too much skill differentiation, so it's out of necessity then that strategic elements such as unlocks and pre-game loadouts are introduced to compensate for that.

In summary: no game that is designed around a control pad can be possibly expected to deliver what Quake fans liked most about Quake, so stop letting yourself be disappointed.

Perhaps if the PC version has an open sever model and proper mod support, the community can create the game we actually want, but I'm not holding my breath.

For different reasons I'm pretty sure the Doom 4 solo campaign won't be what I want from a solo Doom game either, but hopefully it will at least still be fun in it's own way.
