Looks great, I'm glad they are still changing things around so none of the games end up feeling the same.
The mech actually being usable this time around is awesome as well.

I loved Doom 2016 and hated Doom Eternal. I'm gonna be real skeptical until I see how it actually plays after release.
Lol the trailer is age restricted, what’s the point of YouTube kids if the other version has to be kid friendly
It has to be advertiser friendly*
This is the best summary I could come up with:
DOOM: The Dark Ages has been announced today and it will arrive on Steam in 2025.
Vile forces push a kingdom to the brink.
Fangs gnashing, their fury is emboldened by the flames of Hell’s own malevolence.
For when Hell is at the gates, the DOOM Slayer answers.
Oh, and this time you've got some fun toys to play with like the Atlan, a "daunting skyscraper-sized mech capable of toppling Hell’s behemoths with titanic metal fists" and a Mecha Dragon to fly around on too.
Since it will be on Steam, thanks to Proton we shouldn't have much trouble playing it, and we know id Software use Vulkan so it's likely it will run really well.
The original article contains 252 words, the summary contains 115 words. Saved 54%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I'm a huge Doom (1/2/3/2016) fan but I'm not sure how I feel about this. Eternal just seemed like more or the same so I never even bothered playing it. The Dark Ages is starting to feel a little too Anime and just outside the whole space-based Doom universe. This just doesn't seem like Doom to me and the gameplay looks like more of the same basically from the trailer.
Eternal plays completely different to any other shooter, it's very unique.
Oh, and this time you've got some fun toys to play with like the Atlan, a "daunting skyscraper-sized mech capable of toppling Hell’s behemoths with titanic metal fists" and a Mecha Dragon to fly around on too.
And Doomguy has a shield (is he a coward?) and a morgenstern-hook like on Ethernal's shotgun for more scripted actions, and probably more QTEs. And they dive deep into the 'lore' of Doom showing us some of his previous incarnation, so await cutscenes and tell-don't-show about how gorgeous the Doomguy is instead of you actually being him.
Good good boomer shooter genre is here and old games are still accessible. Probably Machine Heads who remastered Quake and added their own episodes are more equipped to do real Doom games than the remains of Id.
