      Well there are multiple reports and a trademark that sounds related, so it’s something.

      Kind of sad how the proprietor of DirectX owns one of the best Vulkan API game engine implementations in the industry.

          It’d be telling if later iterations of idtech (should it continue to develop) switch away from Vulkan on desktops.

          Would be a difficult move considering how ruthlessly performant it is at present.

    Nah.

    2016 was brilliant for its minimalism. No plot needed, no introduction, just tight combat and metal.

    You don’t improve on that more mechanics, more plot and more MTX.

      Yeah I mostly agree with you. Except there was plot and lore in 2016, it was just minimalist as you said, but more importantly it was executed really well. It had the “doom” feel. In addition to awesome gameplay and soundtrack.

      Eternal was great for the gameplay, and even an improvement in some ways. The lore and plot was ridiculous though. Way overdone, didn’t feel like doom.

      I say go back to 2016 style with the gameplay improvements of eternal.

        As opposed to a screen dissolve followed by a wall of text? I thought it was fine.

        I didn’t finish the DLC if it started going off the rails there, though.

          Nah my comparison is to 2016. I just thought it was overdone in eternal to the point of silliness. Subjective opinion obviously.

          It wasn’t all bad though. The introduction to the “evil twin” doomguy was kinda fun. So if no DLC you missed that at least.

    I don’t care. AAA games have burned me too many times, I’m done with the hype

    Careful, if it’s only good enough to be GOTY that could get them fired. Gotta aim for them GTA 7 levels of success.

    If its a single player focused with no (or very minimal) live service bullshit then great.
    If not then well there’s bunch of indie or classic boomer shooters I’ve not yet tried that are just that.

    I’m still sore about what they did to Mick Gordon.

    REMEMBER WHEN THEY LAST MADE A THIRD DOOM GAME AND IT, WELL, its not memorable in any way imaginable. And I liked Doom 3.
