DOOM: The Dark Ages Reveal - NEW WEAPONS - Shield Saw, Skull Crusher, More!

I bet doomguy got doom chicked

Ten bucks says that none of the classic monsters will officially return. Rather, their counterparts in this game will be ancestors with different (or modified) names.

Years ago I made a prediction on Reddit that the next Doom game would see the Mother Demon as the final boss. Now that we know that this game is a prequel, I'd say it's more than likely.

The environments are so massive. They've ramped up the world significantly
Their focus on melee makes sense. The Sentinels have always used shields & swords. Moreover the slayer was the one to show the people guns. Even Samuel addresses in Eternal that the Unmaykyr was refined from the BFG. The art style reminds me of Quake and Doom, it's a mix but I'm assuming they're still polishing it

I was wondering if the slow projectile speed was just a lower difficulty for showcase purposes, now I'm excited to see in the full game

I think the skull grinder is the replacement for the heavy cannon. I believe the Morningstar is the replacement for blood punch. That railgun is probably the replacement for the ballista. I’m hoping to see the Cube make a reappearance too as the BFG’s replacement, since I don’t see that coming in.

That one enemy is Aggadon hunter back in the day, with legs, arms and everything.

I'm calling that the dragon is a Chaos Serpent from Heretic, since it doesn't actually have wings, just a bunch of tech grafted on. The main villains in Heretic/Hexen were call the Serpent Riders because they were supposed to ride those things. You only ever saw one doing it because it looked goofy with those old sprites.

Something i noticed this shotgun is not the supershotgun we know from previous titles. It has full stock and after firing slayer does a flip cock. Wich inducates it's a double barrel lever action supershotgun

sorry ima call it the CHAIN SHIELD

Dude this game looks freakin insane! I'm pretty sure the gun that kills the Imp is some kind of stake/ bolt gun.

Looks like all my favorite DoomTubers are back on my feed!

A fact I find very interesting is that I believe they have had the boomerang idea since "DOOM 4." If you go into DOOM 2016's Snapmap into one of those Snaphak Gallery maps, you can find cancelled or scrapped weapons like the Magnum, but one interesting thing I saw was a boomerang-like object that was in that section, so they have probably wanted boomerangs for a while. It doesn't look much like the shield saw, but it was much sharper and thinner, but looked somewhat unfinished and not polished, just a neat little thing I remembered.

Now i see your video, the skull has the Runes symbols on the forehead from doom 2016. What a detail.

This is literally Painkiller inspired combat! 😅

Fun fact this is a prequel

Right so anyone whom hates on the 3rd person dragon riding bit clearly hate anythign vaguey innovative and likely hated Doom Eternal for having tjings like dash jumping and meat hooking. Some people just don't like their things to grow and change. I personally am pumped to see a different but similar direction for Doom

Actually, we don't know exactly how many health points the shield-saw takes off of the enemies. They very cleverly only show a stun effect, and the player immediately moves on to the next enemy. I highly doubt the shield-saw is going to saw the revenant in half. The chain-n-ball, though, I am guessing is going to replace either the flame-belch or freeze-ray from Eternal.

I've had a wild journey since Eternal:
TAG1 - Metal:Hellsinger - TAG2 - Ghostrunner:Project Hel and Helldivers.
A lotta hell in my games these past 4 years.
Can't wait to keep it going

Maybe the weird gun going to be call a Harpoon launcher

HI ALLSTIN

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD, SKULLS FOR THE SKULL GUN!!!!

Thank God this has much darker tone than Eternal! I don't want rainbow puke and cartoonish style when fighting demons from hell. Blood and guts ftw!

The combat shown in Doom Eternal's original gameplay showcase was talked about by the development team and they said it was basicly Doom 2016's gameplay, so I wouldn't be surprised if the gameplay was completely different in 2025's release. Also I think enemies die super quickly in the trailer, because it's a trailer not a realistic enemy health gameplay example.

allstin is there a real life chainsaw shield like in the upcoming prequel doom or not?

This game looks awesome. I've heard a few comments related to the Hexen references. Nice touch; wonder if that was related to Phil's t-shirt hint from last year. I was hoping for a new Quake... Maybe one day. Exploring the lore in this universe is a very fun rabbithole to go down.

Could this be an open-world Doom game? That might explain the Mecha Dragon's role in gameplay.

I think the music I use for the trailer is great. I know it will never be Mick Gordon but I’m into metal like this I think whoever is doing is doing a good job

Seriously hyped for this doom.

you can see the arm of an atlan in the background when the scene with the skull grinder appears so maybe its a factory for atlans or just sentinel tech in general

Anyone noticed the lack 0f bright coloured health amd ammo drops? Thank God they dumped them. Unless you could always turn them off then it's on me! 😂

That haircut tho...

doomers, doomboyz, doomgurlz, WE ARE BACK

they addressed a few things I did not like about DE. Monster are redesigned to look much less cartoony and more menacing. More open world levels instead of arenas. And no more ammo and health drops which basically turned Doom Eternal into an unskilled FPS because you basically had infinite ammo/health. Dont need all those gimmicks, just give me badass monster, great levels, and a good story! Hopefully we will also get multiplayer this time around too

Kinda wanted the shield to be called the ripsaw, don’t know why

The dark ages or dark souls lol?

Allstin we are SO BACK

Feels more like a Kong vs Godzilla on kong island to me than a doom game the more i watch the trailer. Less doom more Kong especially after a watching Godzilla x Kong so have Kong as the doom slayer and you have a kong game without the guns but with his Axe and shield lol

Not only The Dark Ages is a new DOOM game, but looks to be also a simultaneous spiritual successor of Quake 1, Heretic and Hexen 😎

The gameplay looks very early stages.

Skull weapon playability was given to us in advance in mighty doom

You forgot to tell that Super shotgun is no longer a break action its now a lever action

this game looks amazing, also isn't that giant mech the mech we saw in doom eternal in doom slayer's home base?

not DOOM but WOOD 😉

Bro called Doom Slayer "a missile" 💀

One of the developers said they went with high jumping levels in Eternal, but Dark Ages will be more grounded with tons of enemies on screen
