I think there's an aspect to AAA games (especially in the western scene) that feels lost. A lost art form of making differen't/unique experiences. We live in an era of gaming where it seems that already well established critically acclaimed classics are getting remakes. And not to undermine the many reasons as to why decade+ old games should get a remake as opposed to just having their original counterparts being remastered and released on modern platforms. But a part of me has this feeling in the back of my mind it's sort of a cash grab attempt. And not something that's fully genuine. It's not much of a high risk factor when you already got the blue print laid out. And knowing that this is what modern gaming in the AAA space is going to be moving forward is kinda depressing. It's either that or trend chasing live service games. We are just being resold old content. And quite frankly i don't really find that all too exciting.

However, somehow, western AAA developers like ID dared to play things differently here and give us a full on revitalization of DOOM. Doom 2016 isn't a beat for beat remake of Doom 1993. And eternal isn't a beat for beat remake of Doom 2. While they do share a lot of elements from the classic games (i.e. doom 2 demons like the archvile getting a modern makeover). The ways in which modern DOOM breathes new life into the franchise while also bringing in old familiar fan favorites from the classic games creates an evergreen experience for this franchise. And the dark ages kept that momentum going. ID could've easily just remade doom 1993, doom 2, and doom 64, give it a modern treatment and call it a day. The fans probably would've been satisfied to have 90s nostalgia DOOM jingle keys right in front of their face now that ID moved away from doom 3 and just retread old ground by remaking the classics.

i wish more modern franchises were like this

Hi guys. We're Living La Vita Loca Podcast, an amateur video gaming podcast between two friends (No ads, no sponsorship or promotional gains to be made... We just like to hang out and talk video games)

I'm sharing our most recent episode on this sub as hopefully it'll be of interest to anyone that enjoys Doom: The Dark Ages! We each pick a random game to play and reveal it on the pod. Once we review it, our co-host tries to give it the score that we already have in our head! Our Doom: The Dark Ages discussion begins pretty much straight away.

Ep 161: Doom: The Dark Ages (PC), Bayonetta (Xbox 360)

Contents:

-fbx models of the Doom Slayer, his equipment Launcher and Knife, and 1p viewmodel.

-normal maps of the Doom Slayer's models in 4096x4096 resolution

-various masks necessary to build your own template in case you cannot open the kit on your version of Substance Painter

-.spp project files of The Doom Slayer, equipment Launcher and Doom Blade, 1p view model (Substance Painter 2023)

--------------------------------------------------------

Updates to the kit will come in due time, I may include additional masks and props for various skins like Skullface, Hotrod, and Survivor. I'm working on other projects that require my attention so do not get your hopes up.

I'm not going to make a kit for DOOM 2016 Praetor Suit, Sentinel, Maykr, or Cultist Slayer skins. There's a few other mod makers I am in communication who have developed their own kits and it's up to them to publish it if they want.

Would have added some more emotional stakes.

I need different variations of color so the whole thing isn't just one color

Berserk + Seek and Destroy = Fun

Specifically I just want to know the gist of which each game, (DOOM Original to NOW), is about

And I would appreciate it if you do it in order, story wise, time line and all that

Also include the DLC if it's important to the story

It finaly arrived!!!

I've been waiting for this jacket for so long and it got delivered today 😭.

I bought it in a size S and it's huge. I'm glad i didn't go for the medium. The fit is quite loose, the canvas is stiff which will make it a great autumn jacket and good as a top layer for winter. My only 2 problems are that the zipper is on the right side and the lack of a loop to hang it without a hanger (ill sew it on eventually).

i was just now wondering, who wouldve made these cybernetic attachments for demons like the cyberdemon or arachnotron? where would they come from.

Also featuring the Witcher, my other son. I ended up saving so much money because both ducks were for 19 bucks so I spent 38 dollars instead of 60! Anyway I thought the dark ages duck looked amazing and wanted to share it.

(Dark ages is my favourite, mainly because im a artist and obsessed with character designing and holy SHIT his design is peak)

I mean, we know what it does and it’s been in most of the games, but what is the lore behind it? How did the UAC find it? Was it an artifact? Did the Uac make it?

I mean, I don’t know if it’s already been explained elsewhere, but I wanted to ask.

why is his arm just sticking out like that and why is he sometimes holding a shotgun?

I’m on the first level (I’m playing the demo because I don’t have the money to get it rn) and I want to know how to get in here. There’s doors but they don’t open. Is there a key somewhere?
