DOOM: Classic or Dud?

enjoying this convo, but making me think i should start a thread specifically for the new one. on it.

DOOM (2016)

Those maps are great. dlh's comments about level design also remind me of some threads where we've discussed old school difficulty. ?. DOOM was not insanely hard but you were at risk of dying, and might do so, a lot. Given that obstacle, getting to a new area was a real payoff in a way that it just isn't in an on-rails game that's constantly delivering you to new and novel encounters.

(Though, you can save anytime, right? That's kinda dumb tbh.)

I got this for PS4

it's fuuuun

Golf, but in Doom.

Being able to run to your ball while it is in flight (or just run around the course whenever) would be awesome in realistic golf games.

the first doom movie, despite being basically indefensible, is kind of a guilty pleasure for me so i’m in for this

trailer does manage to capture the feeling of a cheesy 2000s adaptation of a video game tho

It looks like this adaptation, like the first one, makes the mistake of having more than one character. The only way to make a Doom film, IMO, is to have one character (Doomguy) and zero dialogue. It should be a silent horror-comedy, basically. Cast the dude from Letterkenny, he'd be a perfect Doomguy.

It seems to me like the biggest mistake made by filmmakers when adapting a videogame into a movie is that they wake up each day and decide to continue doing that instead of considering their actions rationally and doing something less terrible with all of that time and money.

Cast the dude from Letterkenny, he'd be a perfect Doomguy.

the main problem with the first movie is that they cast the rock and made him a villain when he's clearly doomguy material

the other problem, of course, is that neither movie has gone down the route of doing a straight-up verbatim adaptation of the doom comic book

Would watch two hours of that man's hinges coming loose.

Doom Eternal delayed to March

oh there's a different thread for the new ones isn't there

So the new one is delayed until March ... and the Switch version delayed even further past that to some yet to be determined date.
