Doom: The Dark Ages - Technical preview - Game previews 2024
ID Software showed an impressive return to darker times with Doom The Dark Ages. From gameplay, scale, scope and technological improvements the demo showed us a good slice of what we can expect of the new IDtech 8 come 2025. I get back to my roots with a preview of what we saw, what it may mean and why the art, style and sound could be right off the cover of an Iron Maiden album.

    Nice, balanced (in technical detail level) job. I never owned one but by job i became more familiar with Amiga hardware guts (i used own rom). It is a pity that Atari didn't put more effort and rime in ST, especially 800/65 have specialised coprocessors similar to Amiga ones in concept. In my country ST were adopted to Destktop Publishing work widely, Amiga have wide share in animation and video effects but mostly as gaming machine.

    My first computer was an Atari 800. I bought it a few years before the C64 came out. When I first saw a C64 I thought it was very cheap. It felt cheap. I remember setting up my Atari 800 next to a friend of mine C64 and loading a game on both simultaneously. The Atari loaded very quickly compared to the C64. It took ages for it to load on the C64. Not only did it load programs slowly, but it also felt slow. I didn't realize then that Atari's CPU ran about 75% faster than the C64 CPU and it didn't have a DOS like the Atari had. Everything ran from basic, which I thought was dumb at the time. However, I did like the sound of the SID chip in the C64 though. I didn't give the C64 much look after that. I couldn't understand how they were selling better than the Atari. It just didn't make any sense to me at all back then. When the Atari ST came out I bought one of those. When I heard about the Amiga a couple of years later, I didn't give it much thought at all because of my encounter with the C64. I just figured it was another cheaply made computer. After my Atari ST, I jumped to the Macintosh. I bought a Quadra 700 in 92. It blew away both the Amiga and the ST. It had 68MB of RAM 250MB SCSI HD (later upgraded to a 1GB HD) and could display millions of colors at 1024x768 resolution but it was pricey to be sure. I also started building my own PC's and installing Windows on them when Windows 95 was released. Windows 3 just plain sucked. Now I mess around with emulators on my home-built PCs that can run all of the above computers. Hindsight being 2020, they all were great computers for their time each with their own strengths and weaknesses. I do miss those days. They were good times.

    So hang on.......'sorry different clips going at top speed, very fast video............. So, what IS your opinion on best version? Sorry, it wasn't clear. I'm 49 years old, but only played 'Jag' PSone' and 'PC' versions, not Saturn.........................SEGA had the whole arcade market.................. Could the Jag, 'without legal 'ATARI' fiascos and the like, AND better software programmers at the time have had an ARCADE BEAST , and blown all competition out the water?????? Nostalgia is both cool, and depressing (when you're 49). I think this is why the N64 was so successful (not a fanboy), never got into their 'niche', but Rayman was the best game for the Jag............. Gotta be totally honest, 'hated the N64 pad, but you have to be honest. The Jaguar's control pad was shite! I spent so much on that console. Clunky at best. But for me, nothing beats Rayman on the Jaguar. Loved the vid, 'bit dizzy.....keep Rockin dude!

    I'm a little behind on your videos, so disregard this if you've already covered this, but if not, I was curious about Xbox (and even Sony to a lesser extent) selling their games on other platforms. Clearly, if a game is exclusive to your own console, it increases the incentive to buy the console. While the console itself doesn't usually make these companies a ton of profit, what it does do is bring people into the ecosystem. These companies don't make the most of their money on their own games. They make the most of their money on the commission/licensing fees from third party games sold on their platform, including their DLC, as well as accessories. All of this money is going to total a much higher amount than their own first party game sales. So while selling on another platform means you increase the first party game sales, it means you have less people buying your box, which means you decrease the largest revenue source. It seems to me that the only way this works out to profit is if the vast majority of people you're selling to on PC or other platforms would NEVER buy your console, which seems incredibly unlikely to me. More realistically, it seems this would result in a drop in console sales, which would result in a drop to the largest revenue sources MS and Sony make. So I don't understand the math here. It doesn't seem worth it to increase first party game sales if you drop your main revenue sources by a larger amount (therefore, net loss), and make your boxes seem less necessary. Not to mention not allowing developers to fully focus their optimization on one specific hardware configuration.

    i think in that interview with Hugo Martin he was trying to say that there wont be any glory kills without actually saying it. i think the idea he was trying to get at was, since there is a new melee system where you can kick and use the shield and use a mace without being locked into a long animation, you basically have infinite variety with how you finish off an enemy with a string of animations that you control depending on the input. He has stated in an interview with games radar that now more than ever, they are inspired by the original dooms and that the dark ages will be a sort of return to form where combat mazes will be how you weave through a hail of slow moving bullets rather than making a split second dash when an enemy throws a fast moving fireball at you. i highly recommend checking out the interview because it sheds more light on the direction they are taking the game. also they are pushing for much more enemies on screen than ever before!

      "Much more enemies on screen than ever before". That's not impressive when the majority of the enemies on the screen are crowds of trash-tier 'fodder' enemies that basically just stand there, barely doing anything at all. Which is what I see in The Dark Ages trailer.

      I assumed that this is still idTech 7, despite being a new game. I feel like it's more about the scale than anything else. Huge numbers of enemies in huge environments, stable framerates, whilst maintaining visual polish. It'd be pretty tragic if they went for the other route, pushing the best possible visuals at 30fps.

      Lol because the engine is far better than any other last gen visuals already, he's also comparing pcs best to likely a current gen console.

    Id Tech back again to show their technical prowess with their games. Knowing them this game will hit a stable 60fps and probably offer a 120fps mode

    I'm so glad they returned to the slower-paced gameplay of Doom 2016. Eternal was a horrible experience for me, it was just too much low ammo and low health for my taste. This one looks really sick, looking forward to it.

      Did you try lowering the difficulty? The loop in Eternal is fantastic but it requires a little dedication to figure it out. It certainly comes at the cost of the _immediate_ playability of previous games. I can't get enough of it, but it's easy to see how others couldn't gel with it. I hope The Dark Ages wins players like yourself over, again.

    I like the medieval setting, but the size of the armaments bothers me. They take up too much screen real estate. Felt the same about the previous 2 dooms as well. Great games, but I’d give anything to be able to reduce the gun sizes by maybe 15%.

      Why make the guns look smaller than they are?
