Why do the demons look like plush toys?

[I'll swallow your soul!]

Why does the whole game look like a cartoon? Are they really going to go for that garbage 2016 look again?

The fact that people take DOOM so seriously is a joke itself, or any game for that matter. It's meant as another of many sources of entertainment. If it isn't to your liking, then there's no reason to continue playing it or following it.

It always makes me wonder when people feel compelled to openly criticize a video game. There is certainly something more to their liking out there. Steam alone has a few thousand to pick from.

It's not a joke.. something in this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ world has to maintain integrity, it should be Doom.

also if i cared enough im ssure i could dig into your post history to find you whining about somethin somewhere

The tone of Doom has never been "serious business" (except in Doom 3, and Doom 3 was a crap departure from fun) the tone of Doom has always been larger than life and over the top, so the look of the demons reflect this, they're gross fun comic book exaggerations.

I always saw DOOM 1993 as a game that has serious overtones, DOOM 3 reflects this greatly as the technology was finally there to achieve this. DOOM 2 was kinda over the top yes (with a lot of demons and strange levels) but still had serious overtones to me.

DOOM 2016 is a cool game but it simply can't touch the awesomeness of Doom 1, 2, 3.

Yes it is, just because fanboys dont recognize it as such doesnt mean they determine what reality is.

No... it isn't.
It's just Carmack's tech demo in a Doom skin.
If it were to be considered anything, it'd be some kind of slow paced corridor horror shooter... in a doom skin

I agree that Doom 3 isn't a Doom game, but we can't lay the blame at Carmack's feet on that one.

He built a great engine to be used for a game - Tim Willts is the one who decided to take the dynamic lighting and build a game around it. It was meant to be a tool to create whatever the creative team decided - and the creatively bankrupt team lead by Willts decided to use it in the most obvious, pointless, boring way possible.

As Camack said - Doom 3 could have been a great game. If you could see it.

Doom was made by a group of metal heads, metal is superficially "serious" but an exaggerated parody of seriousness. Metal is a combination of fun and awesome with some superficial horror painted over the surface. There are scary things, but you're not supposed to be afraid of them, they're just cool. When you see a revenant for the first time you're not supposed to be afraid, you're supposed to smile and say "♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome". Doom is Metal \m/, not Emo.

Yes, it's a doom game that has aged very poorly, was kind of a dull slog compared to the fast paced originals, and isn't nearly as well remembered as Doom 1 & 2.

I for one am shocked, shocked I tell you, that Id have chosen to model the modern games on the originals, 2 of the most beloved and well remembered games of all time with active communities to this day and not on the third game, which the majority of the fans feel was a major disappointment and a misguided departure from what made the originals fun.

They made a HUGE mistake not going back and modeling NuDoom off of the bad one.

The lighting was cool though.

I didnt think doom 3 was bad, it was just something different.

In my personal opinion, it was merely OK. The engine was sexy as hell at the time, the technology was super impressive. I tried replaying it shortly after playing through DOOM 2016 when that came out, and Doom 3 did NOT hold up well in comparison.

No thank-you.

[lol no]

The 2D Battlemode icons of the demons and the artwork that the community has done for Eternal shows that both classic and modern Doom's aesthetics are that of an edgy and comical cartoon, just with added gore.
