That looks really cool.  Shotgun, Hordes of enemies, Boss enemies,
Captain America shield, Mech, riding a dragon.

I haven't really been interested in Doom since the original, maybe 2
it was so long ago.  This looks really good, but I'll wait until it's
out and reviewed by real people.

Doom is one of those games I've never really played. I missed it first
time around and did play a bit of one of the later versions, can't
remember which one, but I can't say the gameplay grabbed me.

The game, the original, when it came out was refreshing and new and
really hit a nerve
a ton of that had to do with the dark humor (chainsaw) and the music by
nine inch nails.
Technically the game shined with its fluid 3d but basically other games
were way more technically advanced. But braindead action itches a nerve
in many people and doom filled that void back then on the pc side
perfectly, and from there it became a cultural phenomenon due to press
reports!
Not sure whether it is worthwhile to play any of the sequels, if you
love shooters then probably yes, if you are like my relatively annoyed
by the endless streams of shooters since Doom which were the doom (pun
intended) of many other more cerebral genres, then definitely not!

Doom 1 music was composed by Robert Prince.
Trent Reznor (NIN) composed the music for Quake (my favorite game ever).

Damn it! I wanted to do the pedantic 'but actually!' bit about the
music!

(although I half-suspect Jab wrote that just to trigger people like
me. Mission accomplished, if so ;-)

Between the two, the Doom music was always my preferred soundtrack.
Still, I can't say I rank it amongst my favorite game-music. I liked a
more orchestral style; perhaps if it had a few more choral aaaahhhhs.
