"You Are Nothing But a Usurper, A False Idol." The New Doom Eternal Trailer Rips!

You can "Raze Hell" in Doom Eternal on March 20th and if the new trailer is any indication iD really did kick up the Doom lore with this game. If you remember back to Quakecon of 2019 the game developers mentioned that they are building a whole Doom universe of lore and story and Doom Eternal would be the game to bring it. I appreciated the simplicity of Doom 2016 in that right away there was a bit of story and the Doom Slayer throws the monitor to the side that your were hearing it from. I appreciated the fun nod and wink to the game being focused on quick run and gun gameplay quite a bit. With that iD has treated the new Doom franchise well and I imagine this will be no different even if they kick up the lore.

I never quite realized the lore of the game, maybe because I only played through it once. If you want to find out more, there's a cool story trailer breakdown from IGN you can watch here: https://youtu.be/CE1ACcYwJ70 In case you haven't finished the 2016 game, this video may contain spoilers.

I'm not sure whether or not I'll get this at launch. Anyone else thinking of doing so? I know Travis is.

I knew that, because we've already talked about it. Before this video got posted here, I was thinking of posting it as a comment in that other post, I think I made that one. But, I hesitated and Jon beat me to it.

Gaming Bolt has been making videos about Doom's lore, so if you're a fan, I'd recommend checking them out. They're not very long, but they are cool to watch, even providing info I either forgot about or didn't know. I'll give you a link, but look on their channel for more. It seems they started posting this about a week ago and you'll also notice links to the other videos at the end of each video, so it's not easy to miss out or overlook them. Here's one about Samuel Hayden: https://youtu.be/qFM7TUsiOng
