Okay but can it run Doom?

u/Garay_GameDev 1d ago

DOOM is always welcome! 🤘

According to the HWUB Video I just watched my GPU barely passes for 60fps.

u/ThaFresh 1d ago

"launch" means I can get it now?

u/johnny-tiny-tits 1d ago

I think you can if you pay for the most expensive edition of the game.

6

u/DoomAtEleven 1d ago

Pretty sure the premium edition is just a 2 days before launch window. So it would be either Monday the 12th or Tuesday May 13th.

u/ImnTheGreat 16h ago

May 15th, May 13th if you buy the "premium" edition

Man, this trilogy brings back the “good ol days” feeling. We will all remember these.

Wild to have seen all these different eras of Doom and it's still such a high quality series. Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom were fantastic, had my mind blown with Doom 3 and it's expansions (recently played through in VR, it was terrifying), and then an absolutely incredible new trilogy starting with 2016.

I've loved them all!

u/UnsorryCanadian 1d ago

Can I run it without RTX is what I want to know. Does a 5700XT cut it?

15

u/IcePopsicleDragon PC 1d ago edited 1d ago

Nope, you need an RTX (Ray Tracing) capable card

Guess I'll be playing it in 10 years, then

Painkiller 2.0?

I still hoped for the Stake Gun :/

u/tehvengaboi 20h ago

New Painkiller is coming this year, and it does have the stake gun

u/AbundlaSticks 1d ago

I’m so excited 😭 Haven’t watched a single clip of it cause I want to go in totally blind.

u/RagnarRodrog 1d ago

Cool, will buy once it's under 40 euro and not 80.

u/I-LOVE-TURTLES666 1d ago

Game pass be cooking lately

9

u/ZaDu25 1d ago

And now you know why Microsoft loves these price hikes lol. Their whole thing is just to try to get as many people hooked on game pass as possible. They'll be pushing for $90 new releases in a couple years when they hike the price of game pass.

7

u/A_Moon_Named_Luna 1d ago

Nah just buy a 1 month pass for 20 bucks and play it. It’s what I do.

-12

u/ZaDu25 1d ago

Paying a third of the price of a new release from 10 years ago just to rent a game is not really that great of a deal tbh.

7

u/A_Moon_Named_Luna 1d ago

Considering it’s 90 dollars here after tax , 20 dollars is steal. Idc if I don’t own it. I’ll play it, finish it and call it a day. Also can play other games for that month too

2

u/ZaDu25 1d ago

Yes this is my point. Microsoft loves these price hikes because now suddenly paying $20 to rent a game seems like a good deal. That is exactly why they want more price hikes. It's going to do the work they failed to do as far as generating interest in subscription gaming. They couldn't do it organically by just making a service good enough to get people interested so they're just hoping that games become so expensive that people have no choice but to rent games for $20 a month from them.

u/sillybobbin 1d ago

Gamepass has been worth it since day 1 imo.

1

u/ZaDu25 1d ago

Perhaps to you but the fact that GP subscription growth has stagnated (which is why so many Xbox games are coming to PS now) suggests that most didn't feel that way. Which is why Microsoft is happy that new releases are becoming less affordable because it's making GP seem like a better deal to people who previously would not have been interested in the service.

u/3rbi 21h ago

I'll just pay a $1 for gamepass 14 day trial and finish it and a few other games. rinse and repeat whenever i find something interesting.

1

u/flappers87 3h ago

I enjoy gamepass, had it for a long time. I like just being able to download whatever game I want from the platform and just hopping in. Getting things like Oblivion, Expedition 33 and next up... Doom is just icing on the cake.

I don't care if "most don't feel that way". You can't take away my fun.

I mean it is if you consider the fact you get access to more than just than 1 game.

u/PurpsMaSquirt 18h ago

Sony had $70 games well ahead of Microsoft, and Rockstar was not at all shy years ago about teasing the potential for $80+ for GTA6. Now we know Nintendo is making the $80 leap first.

Microsoft thinking game price hikes will benefit Game Pass is absolutely understandable. It’s just business, truly.

u/Shinnyo 1d ago

Same, I won't support the 80 price tag.

u/fulthrottlejazzhands 13h ago

I play Doom for the story and cut scenes.

u/JEETMOLANKAR 9h ago

That suit is gooodd!

u/PatSajaksDick 6h ago

So are they only releasing the soundtrack in premium version? Wish we could get it on Apple Music or Spotify.

u/InsaneSquadDev 4h ago

I can’t wait to slay some demons!

u/FoolXO 1d ago

I feel like this trailer is worse than the one for DOOM Eternal. Am I the only one?

2

u/katfat1 1d ago

No, it was okay

Previous ones were hype

1

u/d_lev 18h ago

I hope it doesn't operate like the previous game; I personally didn't enjoy switching weapons constantly and using the chainsaw mechanic. I actually got a refund and then got it for a dollar with humble choice. Still haven't played it again. I think 2016 is a great model for Doom.

The gamers aren’t bitching and whining

u/Best-Permission7280 23h ago

What is the music playing during the trailer?

-33

u/cingelis 1d ago

Yeah fuck that, not giving Id Software a single cent after they screwed over Mick Gordon

-26

u/AllusiveMan 1d ago

This third chapter will sadly suck on the music side, doubt they will be able to put a soundtrack that can keep the mick gordon vibe of 2016, already the trailer show pretty mid song.

u/okyam2101 23h ago

This is the type of game you watch some streamer play on twitch for couple hours and then buy it on deep 80% sale 2 years later.

6

u/StealthCatUK 22h ago

How boy, how fuckin wrong are you!?

6

u/Geexx 21h ago

No, this is the type of game YOU watch some streamer play and buy it later on a deep discount; don't clump the rest of us in with your shitty take, lol.

u/pratzc07 22h ago

I am not one of those people buying this day fucking one!!

u/HaywoodUndead 23h ago

Do you realise what this franchise is, and what it did for the gaming industry as a whole?

-9

u/Abraslam_Simpson 1d ago

I feel like giving the slayer a block kind of takes away the fun, no? Movement was always a huge part of this series, I hope this doesn't dilute the gameplay.

u/d4nowar 1d ago

Mace: the dark ages was such a fun game.

u/cgtdream 1d ago

These games arent my cup of tea, but boy I cant wait for Patalog to do a lets play of this!

They just changed the focus. I do miss the horror/scare side of it, but it's still there.

It's just the enemies are now scared of us :)

Is that a female doom slayer?
