- Doom The Dark Ages could be the Doom series’ boldest reinvention yet! Doom: The Dark Ages promises a bold new take on the long-running shooter’s legacy. Revealed in a short but loud Doom The Dark Ages trailer as part of the Xbox Games Showcase 2024, the new Doom game features dragon riding, mech battles, and a much darker, more ‘metal’ visual palette. But those grimdark ideas aren't the only new elements, nor are they the most significant. For in the Doom Slayer’s left hand is a shield to protect him from demons. And in his right hand is a flail, the bludgeoning chain weapon of the middle ages. Yes, Doom’s going melee, and we've pored over the Doom The Dark Ages gameplay to find out what's new.

Doom is still doom. These people absolutely know what they're doing and I'm VERY excited to slay even more demons.
Doom is doomed
@@RUclipssucks-m8b lol how is Doom Doomed lmao
@@blade5883he's just a salty pony.
@@David-nh2dnseriously? That makes no sense considering it is coming to playstation
They should have named this game Hexen or Heretic instead.
Can't wait for IGN to give this one a 6/10 while giving the next cod a 9.5
Fr ign always be cappin
all the while releasing a gameplay video where the player struggles to play with both the right and left stick.
IGN isnt as bad as Gamespot.
That sounds like an unfulfilling existence
IGN hasn't given a Call of Duty a 9 in years.
Don't forget that IGN only gave Doom 2016 a 7 out of 10
7 sounds fair it’s just non stop action and no multiplayer
@@georgelafflin3847what you talking about? Doom 2016 háve multiplayer.
@@georgelafflin3847multiplayer is unnecessary lol
That's just outrageous
@@robopokorny2982 doom has always been known for its campaign not its multiplayer. IDK why you fortnite kids want everything to be a multiplayer.
To quote hugo martin
Doom 2016: run and shoot
Doom eternal: jump and shoot
Doom the dark ages: stand and fight
In chronological order the games get faster.....
@@2killzoremake sense, They achive the maximus speed they could in Eternal, that why they take a step back with TDA
"Doomslayer" ran back so fast - he actually found himself in the dark ages🤣
Just the fact that you can pilot the mech and fly on a dragon has me sold for this game
Yeah, pretty much an instant buy for me as well.
Hugo Martin is gonna save the industry. Dude doesn't mess around. Can't wait for this game.
Why would the industry need saving? That’s weird to me
@@georgelafflin3847 because games aren’t games anymore, no soul in them, so many releases just trying to hit Metrics
@@OtterFlopsonly if you play the wrong ones
@nugget3687 Everything other than ID Software and Fromsoft games are dice rollers these days.
@RyanG0899 fromsoft doesn't disappoint, Nintendo first party games tend to not disappoint, indies are better then every.
If you look at the worst and only the worst sure it seems bleak, but there's always fantastic games coming out every year
imagine animal crossing also release a new one at the same day as doom.
It won’t get any recognition whatsoever
@@VitchBoyWilkins You didn't get the joke obviously
@@VitchBoyWilkins New horizons managed on its own to sell more than 40 million copies and it was released only 4 years ago oh it's going be the opposite buddy let's just hope that it won't come to that
@@spidertime5881Found the 40 year old Animal crossing fan
No
Doom Eternal
"Omg a marauder"
The Ancient Gods
"Oh its just a marauder"
Doom Eternal: teaches you how to play
The Ancient Gods: puts you to the test
Marauders are your comrades in the time doom the dark ages takes place
The ancients gods: THERE'S TWO OF THEM NOW!?
For those who haven’t played Doom Eyernal you’re really doing yourself a disservice. One of the few franchises left that still delivers everytime!
except for doom 3 LOL
@@ant1krystlike 20 years ago
Doom 2016 was better. It actually made you feel like a BA through effort in a high-speed survival scenario.
Eternal actively punished me for not conforming to its contrived game mechanics (you can only kill the weakest enemies via melee when they're blinking for some reason, and Cacodemons can only be killed with either A. a single grenade in the mouth, or B. YOUR ENTIRE SUPPLY of 50cal. bullets to the eyeball.), and so it just felt like playing a goofy platforming videogame.
@@exumbra1399skill issue
Nah, you can perfectly emulate it with playing a Nintendo 8-bit Mario, while your little bro
wildly throws confetti all over the room.
Demons: “Die, you mother...!”
Doom Slayer: *throws shield saw* “Language!”
Age of Ultron callback, a user of quality!
Yeah, we got to keep our age ratting down.
So nice of ID software to release an album that comes with a game as well
In a world of Hell there can only be Doom
Basically this is Quake meets Doom.
Hexen !
Quoom
Serious Sam meets Doom
This game looks siiiiiiick
They need to bring Doom slayer and his allies vs 1000
1,000,000
@@Sixth_SSensemake it 2.000.000

Boldest reinvention?
DooM 3: Hold my beer.
It is the glorious modern DOOM mixed with Hexen/Heretic and some Painkiller.Can't wait to play it!!!
Hope they don't disappoint on soundtrack.
That’s one thing I’m worried about. Mick Gordon elevated the Doom franchise to new heights with his music. Hopefully whoever they use can get even remotely close to that.
@@hunglo9917 Andrew Hulshult and David Levy worked on the DLC soundtracks for Eternal, and they absolutely killed it. Listen to Immora's heavy combat if you haven't. Unfortunately David isn't coming for this new game for some reason, so I'm hoping Andrew delivers.
@@hunglo9917Ever listened to Blood Swamps?
Andrew has us covered, don't worry
@@hunglo9917mick gordon was ok
but still gonna miss Mick Gordon's music .
What??? He isn’t contracted for this???
Doom eternal is a masterpiece and still the only game that makes me laugh pure joy.
Honestly to me, all DOOM games were awesome no matter what other people or reviews mentioned. Doom was always lit🔥🔥🔥
Personally I’m looking forward to it. We get to experience what we learned in “The Slayer’s Testament”.
Exactly and also it will give us a glimpse of how they imprisoned him, which leads us to all the way to AG part 2
Wow , IGN making a Doom video without mentioning Toxic masculinity or overglorifying male power fantasy, or even white supremacy? , faith in humanity restored
It was so nice of id software to present a gameplay trailer instead of a teaser.
Now the Conan skin makes absolute sense.
Marauder, the bane of the journalists
Tutorials, the bane of journalists.
@@blackice8043 nope, that's the nemesis
The Flashlight in DOOM 3 was one of my favorite things; it forced you out of your comfort zone, & added to the Sci Fi Horror
Just hoping David Levy and Andrew Hulshult are involved in the soundtrack for this game. Then it's an instant buy.
Nah Levy confirmed on twitter has not involved with TDA
@@TheJoviLovisadly yeah, even though it looks like he wanted to be. They just didn't hire him for some reason probably, which is very strange...
For anyone wondering what the song is at the beginning it’s monster truck by Jaron takach
Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal were both fantastic but Doom The Dark Ages looks like a real step up in terms of gameplay mechanics, the mech suit and Mecha dragon look amazing 😊
Having each disk lined up I’m gonna feel completed, each game is it’s own identity in a sense, the way they’ve revived this series is absolutely incredible. Can’t wait to dive deep in the lore again
it's a prequel doom eternal that we never expected happen.
Medieval be interesting if there was already a quake that had that theme that this could have been
It's not a reinvention like at all. It's literally the Slayer Testament from 2016 we're playing. It's a prequel not a reboot. TDA, 2016 and Eternal are a planned trilogy. Hugo Martin has said this the whole way through
Im liking the medieval setting
"Yes, DOOM is going melee." MFers using the chainsaw and sword from the previous games 👀
JOurnAliST
The chainsaw, Crucible sword and hammer were *barely* melee weapons, more like resource generators and insta-kill buttons.
I'd love to see more proper melee combat in Doom, and Dark Ages seems to be doing something like that.
@@ThatOtherGuyOverThere blood punch too
4:10 lol
TF|2 mentioned
Some of us remember when Doom was followed up by a medieval spinoff called Heretic back in the 1990s...
DOOM 3 IS NOT SURVIVAL HORROR. You can carry 250 shotgun shells at once...
I’m here for it. Since this is a prequel, I’m hoping for the game to dive in on how the slayer actually joined the sentinels. Like one part, you play as the marine doom guy then you eventually play as the doom slayer. Now if there will be a multiplayer… please make it like 2016 doom. Doom eternal’s got boring real fast.
its stated to be a single player game
Truly hope after this though we get a Quake reboot. Let this team loose on Quake!!!
Bethesda should be grateful to have Hugo and DOOM Teams.
The saddest thing is that my beloved Doom franchise is now part of the MS empire😞
I'm 45 now. And Doom is still the best.
Really enjoyed doom 3, was hoping they continued that way with the game.
2025 is gonna be a hype year with GTA 6, the return of mega evolutions in Pokemon legends ZA and DOOM the dark ages
background music in this video hits hard
GENUINELY WHAT IS IT, IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SO LONG
The flying in this game looks so crazy lmfaooo looks evil asf
Was hoping it was melee based game play
It's not a reinvention it's around the time Doomguy was living in sentinel culture after he was found.
Actually, Eternal was the bigger risk. Great game, but ID went a bit too silly in Eternal they also introduced a lot of mobility elements and cranked the difficulty up.
Dark Ages, from what we know is actually more safe than Eternal was imo. It’s literally the slayer’s testaments made into a game. The visuals look more like doom 2016 and the demons look way less silly. The weapons are over the top with a medieval flair, but a skull shrapnel gun is something the slayer would absolutely use. Gameplay wise, Dark Ages appears to refine the complexity Eternal introduced.
Of course, IGN is ret***ed and doesn’t understand DOOM at all.
Missing the Mick sound track.
Hot take but in my opinion david levy and hulsult made much better tracks in the ancient gods, and they will probably will be the ones composing for the dark ages
Give them a chance at least, blood swamps, the trial of maligogh, reclaimed earth, and world spear are all masterpieces
@@majorandras7474 Levy confirmed he sadly won't be involved with the new game. Seems like he wasn't asked to return. That or conflicting schedules.
@@ians_parks thats a shame, he did my favourite tracks
I'm diggin the direction they are taking it, different but similar enough to feel familiar.
A reimagining of super 3d Noah's ark.
I'm so glad they went back to the dark and gritty version of Doom from Doom 2016 in terms of atmosphere.
dont forget the mistreatment of mick gordon, the BEST aspect of DOOM...
"boldest reinvention yet" Yeah in 202X standards
It is for it's series
sorry to ask but what song was being used in the background?
every single song
It's about Having Fun, Only Bitter, Unhappy, Sad people will Complain about the changes that we will be able to experience in The Dark Ages! 🔥🔥🔥⚡️💪
It’s a game about portals. Why couldn’t a space marine just portalled to this realm?
It's not a "bold risk". It's just even more rust, dust, and guts
"what new direction can we take doom in?"
"well, what inspired the original games?"
"the evil dead movies?"
"... ... brilliant."
Beavis : " He said bust away " Butthead : "Huh Huh AH Ah Ah"
Everyone whos played Doom 3 knows that the standard shotgun was a melee weapon lol
This looks badass. A space guy gets shot into a castle and starts shooting skulls at mfs. How many games you want them to make on a space station. iD definitely played some Elden Ring. And yeah, definitely not mad about glory kills going away. Shit's cool for two minutes until you get a repeat animation - slows down gameplay in a way illogical to the rest of the game's speed.
In DOOM Enternal the Ancient gods part 2; John Marcos Code name: Repper, was lost his Life But Now in DOOM the Dark Age, John "The Repper" Marcos has Return to Fight the Demons.
Doom had melee already ign y’all are way two hungry for content
Personally, Im not a fan of the whole medieval aesthetic going on. Kinda wish they did a proper remake of the OG Doom 1 and 2.
Ummm... They've already done that with 2016 and eternal!?! 😉
Doom is the definitive SOULESSLIKE game
Just like Ahoy wisely said: Doom is a fusion of Hell, Sci-fi, and Fantasy.
The Das Boot / Spartan Kick; is an FPS Classic
Is putting medieval armor on doom guy really a reinvention??!
Only IGN can mark the safe way as a bold play.
The new weapons and shield feel like they should have in doom eternal or least the dlcs
a Quake DLC would be the cherry on top....
"Hmmm... We've done classic Doom, modern Doom, Doom if it were Quake on crack, but what's next?"
"Let's make it medieval, sir. Give him a Captain America shield that is also a chainsaw."
"You're promoted."
DOOM's going melee? You mean Medieval, right?
DOOM3 was always an awesome take on the franchise. It was really dark compared to it's great but cartoony new reiteration.
Wiy do people have a problem with doom becoming more badass
IGN you maybe a clown, but you are OUR clown, never stop what you're doing
Doom 3 was underrated
I'm really missing glory kills right about now
Is it still considered a unique observation when the consensus is obvious?
Doom meets Serious Sam
Reinvention? It's still an arena shooter, what in the blue manchoo is IGN talking about??
“It’s a risk I’m willing to take”

Kudos to hugo martin :
**Hugo Martin** is a prominent figure in the video game industry, best known for his work as the **Creative Director** of **id Software's** *DOOM* franchise, particularly for the critically acclaimed **DOOM (2016)** and **DOOM Eternal (2020)**.

His experience in both design and storytelling in films and games has been critical to his success in leading the creative direction of the *DOOM* series.
### Philosophy and Approach:
Hugo Martin is known for his passion for **combat mechanics** and the "dance" of player movement in *DOOM*. He focuses on making the player feel empowered while ensuring the gameplay is challenging and rewarding. His philosophy revolves around creating an engaging and fast-paced experience where the player must constantly adapt, move, and push forward in combat.
In interviews, Martin has emphasized the importance of respecting the legacy of the original *DOOM* games while introducing new elements that feel true to the franchise's core identity.
### Influence on the DOOM Franchise:
Hugo Martin’s work has been central to the successful reboot and ongoing popularity of the *DOOM* franchise. His ability to blend fast, visceral gameplay with modern design sensibilities and narrative depth has made *DOOM (2016)* and *DOOM Eternal* standout titles in the FPS genre, earning widespread critical acclaim and solidifying the *DOOM* series as a major force in modern gaming.
Doom 3 is still the best
Honestly; DOOM Dark Ages, more reminds me of Hexen, modernized
As long as Marty doesn't ruin anything this time.
Wdym with the exception of the purple goo, everything they have done since 2016 was amazing
If they bring back the pvp multiplayer that’s would be wicked maby a mode with a titan on each team or something 🤔
website states its a single player game.
Doom guy using a shield is stupid
*turns into a buzzsaw*
I’ll shut up now
WHAT IS THE MUSIC IN THIS VIDEO??????!!!
No Tommy Richman in the background this time? Lmfaaoooo
Someone PLEASE tell me what songs were used in the vid
Peak is yet to come...ETERNALY.
a chain weapon ?? dude its called a morning star.
It's a flail. A morning star has no chain.
This game looks fire
Doom needs a show😊
Is this video meant to be a joke considering you guys gave doom a 7/10
IGN cannot be trusted to be impartial... we all know that.
mate, literally all glory kills are melee kills. It's not new.
