I'm watching it right now, and oh my god, man. I'm excited in a way that I don't usually get for upcoming games anymore. (last time was, well, Doom '16)
It's like they saw everything I personally wanted from Eternal, and said "Yeah, okay!". The even goofier tone without going into full-on farce, the expanded traversal, the battle damage, more OTT weapons, some classic-skin versions of enemies, more wholly original enemies, invasions(!?)... and did they hint at a section set in a Diablo-esque heaven? Eternal legit feels like a hyper-ambitious fangame. I'll share some more thoughts as I watch:
Interested by them saying "they're building a Doom universe". Sounds like they fully intend to keep making Doom games in this continuity, and I am soooo okay with that.
"Warning: Slayer threat level at maximum"... HA!
The music is fantastic and chaotic, as expected.
The Arch-Vile looks AMAZING.
The surprising length and transparency of the gameplay demo makes me wonder if this game won't be out sooner than I thought. Of course, if it's like '16, the game will be like 20 hours long, so...
