Doom is back, real Doom too. D3 was good, but it wasn't real Doom gameplay for me. I played the BFG collection last year and those old games got it so right.
Funny to see the feminists and girly men getting offended too. The militant feminists getting up in arms is not unexpected, but games like this act as a real litmus test to show how girly a lot of men have become. "Too violent"? It's a game ffs, get a grip on that chainsaw handle and get to it.

Since I finished Far Cry 4, I've been replaying a mix of games, Wolfenstein Old Blood, Black Mesa, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Thief (the new one - I can't get into it), but the one that's got me at the moment is Quake 2, using kmquake 2 and high res texture and model packs (the model pack is incomplete). I even dug out my old CD to copy the music into the game folder. It's hilarious, brain-out fun. It's amusing with the old games the way enemies are triggered by your crossing a precise pixel line or performing a particular action, like picking up a key. Back in 1998, I started off with Quake 2 in the software renderer, then got my Voodoo 2 and played at 800x600. Now I'm playing it in widescreen 3440x1440.
Doom 4 and Fallout 4 - when will I ever find the time? Games are such good value for me because with work and kids I have so little time to play - Far Cry 4 took me from November to March.

Last time I bought a proper gaming PC was in 2000. Since having kids, I haven't had the time, space or inclination to play. Doom has suddenly given me the inclination.Doom 4 and Fallout 4 - when will I ever find the time?

I'll have to try running Doom on my iMac in bootcamp - 5120 x 2880 could be interesting.

Thanks. What manufacturer/spec do you recommend?
Intel Core i5 4690 'k' model8GB Ram minimum
Minimum Nvidia GTX780/970 graphics card
1080p screen minimum again.
It won't be cheap but I always think the point in PC Gaming is to get something which is significantly better than what you can do on a console. That costs, but it's a multifunction device and you can save £20-30 on games. Example Batman Arkham Knight Premium edition (including DLC and season pass) £25 on PC. Reckon that's an easy £30 saving, maybe more. Not to mention the steam sales!

As a big lover of Doom 1 and 2 (not played 3) I question the explicit nature in this new one.
Thrusting a chainsaw into an Imp in 1990s graphics, the violence was implied rather than visual - it was just a bunch of low res pixels bouncing about. With this new one, you can practically see the organs being sliced in half and see the bones mangle in great detail, looking at that video.
I am not sure what the appeal is to be honest. It's to gaming what Saw was to horror films. Gore for gore's sake.

You can of course throw more money at it, but you only need do that to play at higher resolutions. I have a lovely 34" 21:9 widescreen monitor that runs at 3440x1440, so I need a 980 GTX to run it. I also have an i7 and 16GB of RAM, but they're three years old and still not far from cutting edge, so it can be worth investing these days.

I don't like movies like Saw and Hostel and have no desire to see them, but I'm not disturbed by the new Doom ,because the victims are very obviously demons, not people. I wouldn't think this level of gore appropriate in Far Cry, but, for me, it's fine in Doom.Thrusting a chainsaw into an Imp in 1990s graphics, the violence was implied rather than visual - it was just a bunch of low res pixels bouncing about.
