Can’t believe invasions weren’t a thing at launch. That would be like dark souls having to add its multiplayer features as a patch a few months after release.

The game is going to continuously hemorrhage people who play the campaign from this point on, so they really missed out on getting peak numbers out of this feature.
 
Played a little Battlemode. I mostly sucked dick but it was fun enough.

Possum Reviews did a video on the better of the two DOOM movies (and a video on the worse a while ago). He's entertaining enough so it's a nice way to waste 40 minutes. Ignore the horrid thumbnail.


Shame there won't be a "real" DOOM movie anytime soon, audiences would eat all the Heaven and Hell and magical knights intrigue up.
 
Curious how an actual DOOM movie would work. Silent protagonist communicating with everyone by virtue of punching then, or smashing their equipment. Faceless actor, short lived supporting cast.

Morbidly interested in what studio would have the balls to sign off on that.

Okay, autism warning, this is how I'd do it if Hollywood just gave me 50-60 million to shoot this.

You set up scientists on the Mars base, the military, and immediately like 5 minutes in shit hits the fan with demons running amok. Not zombies, not aliens pretending to be demons, not mutants, fucking demons. Then you have a new recruit who's stuck there and slowly loses his mind slaughtering demons until he realizes he's the chosen one ala Ash from Evil Dead. The rest would be gory set-pieces ala Peter Jackson's Dead Alive AKA Braindead.

It'd be like Hardcore Harry, if you wanted to be pure.

Else, it'd probably focus on a secondary character where the Doomguy is just a force of nature that they follow.

Of course, in today's Hollywood, we'd just get GRILL POWER marine instead.

So, Doom 3? I'm okay with that.

It's either you do that or you ripoff Aliens or you go through the motions and have the Slayer arrive to fuck shit up.
 
Fury Road would be a cool inspiration for a DOOM movie as far as I remember it. Max himself doesn't talk much but he takes care of shit while the characters and stuff sort of happen around him. Could even have a touching moment where the Slayer connects with a child or other helpless innocent and shows that despite being an immortal hurricane of fuck he's still human, people eat that shit up.

Doom as a Chase Movie? It might work. Or it might end up like John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars.

Doom can fully return to its roots of being inspired by Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. Speaking of, is that Duke Nukem movie still coming out?

I think a Duke Nukem movie would work if they made it into an action parody. Have The Rock play Duke and have him channel Schwarzenegger and Johnny Bravo into one character. Play up the absurdity.
 
I've mentioned before that I like the idea of Doom taking a few pages out of Die Hard's book, where the Doomguy is a normal man driven to increasing levels of badass as he repeatedly fails to get the backup and/or evac he desperately needs.

You could also do one that combines Doom 2 and 64. The Marine is the sole survivor of the "Phobos incident," and he's back on Earth. After years of questionable treatment and drugs, he's stopped telling people about the demon invasion and his journey through Hell. In fact, he questions his own sanity, and is starting to finally thank the doctors for fixing him.
Then Hell invades Earth. The Marine finds his nightmare starting again, but this time, he's much more comfortable with it. He finally realizes his true calling as a demon slayer, and after saving Earth from Hell, he remains in Hell to make sure no demon ever rises again.

Or some shit like that.
 
I think I prefer playing as the demons in Battlemode. Anyone have a preferred playable demon? I’m also hoping we get another master level soon, and that we get some way to restore Crucible and BFG ammo before going into them. At least Arc Complex has one of each at the start. They need to add some spawns for it in Cultist Base.

I would combine Die Hard, Evil Dead, and Solo Action films like The Transporter and Crank.

First movie, Doomguy is a wimpy marine on his first deployment. Kind of a Fuck up..gets sent to mars because he pissed off a high ranking generals wife. Gets as assigned to the worst jobs like cleaning the barracks toilet, which means he doesn't get to go to the main facility to fuck whatever girls are there..because they are stuck on mars with a bunch of Marines and Scientists and who are they gonna fuck..Marines..or other nerds.

The Doomening happens, and he is the last man alive because he was in the barracks, and things escalate from there. Instead of going insane like Ash does through Evil Dead 2..he gets mad and we get massive gunplay and glory kills. Maybe meet a scientist along the way who tells him what is going on, in the end he fights a Cyberdemon..feeds the thing it's own missile hand. Then he gets to a scanner to call earth for help..and hears that the Demons are attacking Earth as well..and end.

Movie 2 opens up with him Crash landing on Earth and proceeding to go ham.

Isn't this what Eternal confirms - he's a normal marine who ends up fighting demons for so long (Doom 1 and Doom 2) that he legitimately has gone insane and spouting things like RIP AND TEAR! and GUTS! HUGE GUTS! at random until he ends up outside a Night Sentinel castle, whereupon he gets drafted into the army after gladiator-style trial by combat?

Of course, it's also dev canon that he's the son of Commander Keen and the grandson of one B.J. Blaskovitz (spelling?) of Wolfenstien fame - Doomguy himself resembles B.J. under the mask - so he was never quite normal to begin with. And then he gets upgraded to nigh-demigod status thanks to the Sepharim before the events of Doom 64, which tie directly to when Doomguy wakes up at the start of Doom 2016.
 
And much like his Nazi-killing grandfather, is too angry to die. The Codex entries you snag in the city about your history have you powering through supposedly mortal wounds with nothing but angry willpower.
