Uh. Exciting. 
Gameplay looks a bit Serious Sam 3, which is a, uh... good thing, I suppose.
Monster design improved, and it's a good thing they went the more colored path, albeit lazily.
Looks like they just took the original models and dumped them in vaseline...
I loved the "eyeless bellend" design of DOOM 3, looked fittingly mean, IMO and they stretched out a little(very little) in monsters variety (cherubs).
Frantic fight seems to be there, I just hope they manage to give the overall progression the sense of epic accomplishment original FPS had. Now that would be exciting.

But thing looking like they do, starting from the cover art choice, point in a boring direction. 
 
Well we can sure say we have come a long way from D3 thank god.

I can't help but cackle in glee despite gripes :D 
 
Some Alpha Gameplay Footage 
Get it while it's still up -

Is it me, or does the announcer sound bored?

"*sigh* First blood..." 
 
The announcer should be amped up like the one from UT. I was honestly bored and depressed when I played the alpha. 
 
At 2:43 you can really see how the player movement is so slow that you can't even dodge the sights of someone using a console controller. 
 
Fifth

They did the same thing in QUake3. For whatever reason, id feels that the announcer should be flat monotone ... I don't know why. 
 
Even the Quake 3 announcer has more personality than the Doom 4 one... 
But 
The Quake Live one does not. I think it's the same guy even? 
Meh 
guess they want a more serious vibe, maybe they felt past styles were too cheesy? kinda odd choice for muliplayer.

QuakeX announcer comparisions 
 
"Quake 2 is actually nothing like Doom or Quake"

It's exactly like Doom or Quake.


As far as game mechanics are considered, yes they are the same... Player character kills enemies while progressing through various levels.

However, the locations and the enemy types are completely different in each game. Which, in my opinion, was reason enough to come up with a different name, but they didn't. 
 
Remember the build up to Quake 2 and all the press about how the monsters would duck under incoming rockets?

LOL 
But 
Some definitely did? 
My Major Complain About Quake 2 
is how the overall movement feel a lot more stiff than Quake 1, or Doom for that matter, which is a major stepdown to what we got in Q1.

Also the smaller hitboxes for monsters with the still minuscule ones for the projectiles, making enemies harder to hit with rockets and blasters.

Also fuck the Blaster, piece of shit is the worst starting weapon in any FPSes. At least Doom's pistol was hitscan. 
Q2 Blaster 
was nice. my favourite flashlight. 
 
OTP - Some did. All that meant was it happened once and then players learned to aim low. 
Nah 
The Enforcer played a duck animation, but his box didn't change.

Lazarus had enemies jump over incoming rockets, run from grenades on the floor and so on. It was an awesome toolkit. 
Gunners Did Ducking Too 
as for new d4 footage, probably just me but still looks underwhelming IMHO. That was clearly scripted and even then we barely got any 3d gameplay. 
#1185 Holy Fuck! 
That's the first trailer that made me really excited!

I wish my computers could run this beast (my 9500GT struggles with MK9�). These new designs are awesome! 
Snippets Of The Campaign 
All Of That For Just 20 Seconds Of Gameplay 
 
Wish It Had More Gameplay 
Seems mancubus have an aoe like the spitter from l4d2. You can see Marty Stratton observing from the shadows in the back left corner. 
Mancubus. 
Sucks.
