A very -googily- mysterious teaser just advertised DOOM, and fans are going crazy. Kinds of levels that, like, full keyboard smash, all caps scream. The official DOOM Twitter’s single image that says it would be keeping an eye here “‘tomorrow’ for some press hands-on impressions and fresh gameplay,” and, really, don’t nothing happen right in the internet since.
The image itself? Moody: creepy; shows, possibly, the Doom Slayer next to some massive dragon. Yes, you read that right: a DRAGON. The cape? glorious. The shield? Even nimbler. The sheer ”I will rip you apart with my bare hands” energy radiating from this single frame? Off the charts.
Only seconds after, appearances shrieked with excitement to almost incoherent joy. One user, @EXINE_the_1, perfectly articulated the shared sentiment, “HOO MY GOD, HOLY MOTHER, LOOK AT THAT CAPE LOOK AT THAT GLORIOUS SHIELD LOOK AT THE DRAGON THAT I FORGOT HIS NAME OH MY MAMAMIA.” Yup, copypasta.
Some users straight vibed with it while others felt that this cape really sucked. One critic would be @KHAYMANOF who commented “really sucks.” Another fan, however, was seen clapping back with, “For you, yes. For us, no,” with @MrPiggy_1304’s comment. The duality of doom fan: either totally in or getting roasted in replies.
There is speculation. What is this dragon? A boss? Or some buddy? Will we even be able to pet it? (Ask the real question, like I said, @HearthAuthor.) And of course: when are we ripping and tearing this nightmare fuel from whatever it’s attached to? The teaser promises soon impressions and gameplay, but “soon” feels like forever in the high-speed chase of excitement.
What else is classic doom- It ain’t a DOOM reveal without some standard I SO READY energy! @itsDunnyUK did keep it simple though: “I’m so ready,” while @julian_kintobor went straight to the point: “cant fking wait.” On the other hand, @bendonotbendy shouted out to the world, “THE HARDEST SHIT THAT I’VE EVER SEEN HOLY CRAP.” And right on the spot.
And, according to this order, we cannot forget the tech complaints. Modern gaming was, in fact, sarcastically jabbed at by @Jamie_The_Gent as saying, “can’t wait to play Larry’s new game where ray tracing, frame generation and upscaling reign supreme just to get 60fps with a $3,000 GPU! TRUST THE PLAN!” Yeah, Jamie, we understand: PC gaming can be that kind of expensive. Just not worth it.
Best is yet to come. Soon, with press previews dropping, we are on our way to expect a deluge of such new details, gameplay clips, and probably even more dragons (please). In the meantime, the DOOM fandom will be vibing at an uncontrollable frequency charged with blood and all promises for demon-killing mayhem.
So buckle up, folks; just getting started here; it’s going to be one helluva bloodbath. Literally.
