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).
