DOOM: The Dark Ages Preorders; System Specs

Here's more from the DOOM: The Dark Ages at Developer_Direct ‘25 Presentation from yesterday (thanks Frans). First up are Preorders of the Premium Edition & Collector’s Bundles for DOOM: The Dark Ages. Word is pre-purchasing the Premium Edition of the upcoming first-person shooter sequel will get you some goodies, as well as two days of Early Access to the game before its official May 15th launch. This Slayer's Club post further discusses the Gameplay Reveal, saying: "Become the DOOM Slayer, the superweapon wielded by gods and kings against the legions of Hell. Traverse dark and twisted hellscapes from the Slayer’s past as you wield ancient and incredible power against the forces of evil. From 30-story mechs and weapons-mounted dragons to guns that pulverize skulls as ammunition, your journey in DOOM: The Dark Ages will be a massive-scale action epic - and the most ambitious game from id Software to date." Lastly, the PC specs are here in case you need to plan some upgrades.

As long as there's no parkour, I'm in.
Imagine not knowing how to do basic jumping since...the Quake era. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️

I'm not talking about 'basic jumping'. I'm talking about the Tarzan nonsense in Doom Eternal.

I couldn’t stand Doom Eternal for several reasons:

1. No real story -- just endless codex entries.

2. Gimmicky arenas instead of logical level design. Apparently, Hell and its demons are big fans of Monkey Joe’s because parkour is everywhere.

3. Overly complex rock/paper/scissors combat. Too many variables, and that damn shoulder cannon ruined the flow. Worst of all, it committed a cardinal sin: it took away player choice and dictated how we had to play. Want to run the whole game with just the shotgun? Too bad.

And yet, somehow, Eternal got more praise than DOOM 2016, a game I found superior in every way. Thankfully, Dark Ages seems to be following in DOOM 2016’s footsteps. Praise Beelzebub for that.
