I am soo pumped for this game. So I thought I'd start a discussion thread. Is anyone else planning on getting it?

"A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in."
Yeah, maybe, if it has a decent SP campaign. I don't care about MP.
Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes; after that, who cares?! He's a mile away and you've got his shoes!

That would be me, but for what, IIRC, are requirements for Steam. In which case, regretfully, no, because but for that, I'd probably be my most fancied game in years.
it's Quake 5
and it will be ALL about the MP
14 cups of strong coffee and let me get at it......
If it's a remake of Doom/2 then I'll be all over this otherwise I'll maybe buy it when it's cheap. Doom was both brilliant for both single player and multiplayer so I'm really hoping that almost 25 years on that the pure fun can be replicated and that it's not basically a demo of a game engine.
An Atlantean Triumvirate, Ghosts of the Past, The Centre Cannot Hold
The Pillars of Britain, Foundations of the Reich, Cracks in the Pillars.
My books are available here for Amazon Kindle. Feedback always welcome!
I hope the multi-player game is up to par. I have some very fond memories of playing the original Doom at uni, with me & a friend linking our PCs up with a long serial cable stretched between our rooms in our hall of residence! God knows how I passed my degree!
Well, despite my comment about SP versions, I can relate to your serial cable.
In my case, it was four PCs in my home office, four networks cards (mix of NE1000 and NE2000) and a co-axial BNC LAN cable(s).
They weren't gaming PCs as such, and I remember writing autoexec.bat files that put a boot menu on screen, selected Doom mode or normal, and loaded drivers, configs, etc according to whether my little group was Dooming or not.
It was way post-uni in my case though, and I couldn't reassemble my group (two distinct groups, actually) if I wanted to.
But it does bring back memories of great evenings .... and early mornings, and more than a handful of dawns, too.
These days, though, it'd almost certainly be vastly SP for me, even if I did have the occasional 2 or 3 player co-op game. But online MP gaming? Nah, not really. Occasionally maybe. Maybe.

Looking forward to it along with the map/mod making tools.
If they actually create SP like the following parody of the original Doom, then I couldn't care less for it.
I'm bored of pointless unskippable tutorials & intros and the "don't forget to press E" prompt every time you walk passed something, as though we'd forgotten since the last item.

So true. The DLC bit cracked me up!
I bought quake. I may well buy this new doom, depending on the multiplayer feedback...
