Awesome, Doom franchise should be enjoyed by all as one of the original goat FPS. Looking forward to this reveal.

I was just thinking the same thing wasp sort of feels like it's day has past.

As long as they keep the same formula. Doom Eternal was fantastic fun.

I'm hoping they do something different, more like a Doom 3.

Doom 3 is the GOAT of Doom games

Xbox slow march into third party publisher continuing on.

Will probably be nice needing one less console, but more competition in the console space would have been good

The tidbits coming out sounds like Quake but without calling it Quake. Or maybe a bit of Heretic/Hexen.

While I can sort of picture it as something like this stripped of the sci-fi, I'm not exactly in love with it because of Doom Eternal.

Depending on how they go about it, it already gives me the impression that they can't let the whole Doom IP/brand a break, so I can't imagine even more tonal whiplash between 2016 --> Eternal --> The Dark Ages (lame name over just going with a new Quake/Heretic/Hexen).

I'm hoping they do something different, more like a Doom 3.

I love the design and atmosphere of Doom 3, which Doom 2016 seemed to at least have some DNA of when you look at the Mars facility and some of the demons (particularly Hellknights).

That is, until Doom Eternal went full retard Marvel visuals and meta "it's a video game" art direction.

What sucks is how it looks like we'll never get another Doom 3 or Doom 2016.

I have no dog in the console war BS, but it almost feels like karma for Microsoft thinking that they could just buy out third party publishers specifically to deprive their competition of their titles instead of looking internally to improve upon their (repeating) failures as a publisher themselves.

Microsoft was already sitting on a ton of studios and IPs before they went and bought Bethesda and then Acti-Blizz on top of that, but they clearly did not understand that being a publisher means that they actually have to lead a bit and take action. I mean, seriously, how many times did 343 have to screw up before Microsoft eventually stepped in to do... barely anything at all, letting their flagship IP that used to be synonymous with "Xbox" whither away and die?

Frankly, they still don't seem to have learned their lesson with those two massive publishers now under their belt because they're still letting them basically run themselves with none of the naive changes that proponents of those mergers kept dreaming up to justify even more industry wide consolidation.

In the end, it's just Microsoft behaving like typical Microsoft, no matter how much it better it would be if Xbox wasn't run the same way as the rest of that creatively bereft company.
