Did they say they removed glory kills with the Dark Ages?

I don't know about that decision by iD. Maybe they added something better to replace glory kills which we don't know about. We'll have to see.

I hope they add actual glory kills not just what they've showed... everythign else looks promising

glory kills are basically the melee/shield kills...

Basically they removed glory kills so you can melee the demons and have (kinda) a custom glory kill.

I see thanks.

I really enjoy the custom glory kills but these "unsynced" kills are kind of "meh" and forgettable going by what the trailer shows. Hope there is more to it than just landing a killing blow.

Glory kills are still in the game, theres both the animated ones like in Eternal, and the new ones that are attached to the melee weapons that are meant to not break the pace of combat, we see the old animated ones in some of the preview playtests that some creators were apart of

Let’s be real—glory kills were made for the Fortnite crowd.
Flashy lights, slow-mo stabs, and the same 3 animations on loop to make sure even 12-year-olds felt like pros.

And the best part? It wasn’t even iD’s idea. They ripped it straight out of Brutal Doom, watered it down, and slapped neon colors on it.
If The Dark Ages ditches that kiddie nonsense, we might actually get Doom back—not Doom: Glow Stick Edition. But lets see. They might have only slightly turned it down.

Well, we already know the neon glowy bits are still present based on the gameplay videos that have been released. Neon ammo and health pickups, plus neon melee indicators on enemies. I personally hope at least some of these can be toned down or turned off in the options. If not, I have no doubt some mods will come out to better fit a "dark ages" aesthetic.

It's not a deal-breaker for me, but I know a lot of people don't like the neon clashing with the rest of the game aesthetic. More like Doom: Neon Ages, right?
