Known as the Marine, the Doom Slayer, Doom or even just Doom Guy, this demon slaying character from John Romero’s hit franchise has been requested more times than you might expect for a series that until recently only tended to cover cutesy characters. I’ve learnt my lesson about that one. With a brand new game Doom Eternal just around the corner, the time has never seemed better to look at the character in more detail.
The history of Doom Guy is quite an interesting and confusing one, as there is a bit of scattered history and timeline surrounding the Doom series in itself, on some occasions it seems like the character crosses over into follow up titles and in other cases, it’s clearly a different protagonist entirely. A few elements have always been constant though, the character was always left nameless and without a voice as a means of immersing the player in the first person game play and from a design perspective, the character wore an iconic set of green combat armour, alongside boots and and a helmet with visor.
In 2014, John Romero revealed the original concept art for the character on his own twitter page and it highlights just how strong the initial character design was, establishing these key features that would continue to be used to this very day. Many depictions of the character would follow using this as a blueprint and there would certainly be lots of experimentation of how to present this character. Some games would be very faithful, whereas others would make more drastic changes, but regardless of this the character has remained very popular and has made some appearances you may not expect or remember either.
As always, I’ve covered as many designs as possible today, but if there are any of note that you think I’ve forgotten to mention do let me know in the comments section…. With that said, I’m the Artist Mark Flynn and let’s find out which Doom Guy, I think truly is best. - Ігри
So that's a wrap! Think we might have some seriously differing opinions on this one! This was easily the most fun I've had making a video and is easily my fave intro of all time.
Thanks again to Numskull Designs for providing some top quality merch to giveaway. As with previous videos, this wasn't a paid ad spot, but they did provide the merch to be given away free of charge and I'm massively greatful. Head to my twitter @artistmarkflynn to enter!

Then answer is no....2016 Doom guy is WAY better due to the whole body being covers, leaving players to personify themselves as the doomslayer, compared to the default skin in eternal, showing his arms killing the immersion
Doesn’t doom guy canonically love cute animals?
Rabbits.
And Isabel of course
@@sirliam2598 I fucking hate Isabelle. If I was Doomguy I'd crush Isabelle with my fist and murder her

Doomguy is the most cutesy character you've done yet
He's one cute boi
He eats his veggies like a good boi
I wanna squeeze his cheeks
He's adorable
Yeah very religious too!
Killing Demons and such
At this point Doom Eternal will have the best Doom Slayer design, cause you can customize him in a lots of ways.
One of which, being a goddamn unicorn.
Saw the unicorn thing earlier 🤣 brilliant
Haha unicorn so randumb lol XD subscribe to twitch prime!
Still not sure how I feel about it. On one hand the suit looks fucking amazing but on the other hand it had to grow on me and it also it just doesn't seem quite right to me.
@@TheKirBoi Do you mean the unicorn one or the base suit?
Cause I love both.
@@KhaosKontroller Both look amazing, but both had to grow on me, and the unicorn is the one that just doesn't seem quite right to me.
The Slayer is just so damn jacked in Doom Eternal lmao. It's like Doom 2016 was just a training montage of him getting back into peak 'slaying' shape
Doom 2016 is his wake up from like a thousand year coma so he probably still has muscle atrophy that time, and he can already tear everything to two. lmao
Doom Slayer got so buff between games that he had to get rid of the armor on his arms
True he's not been skipping arm day lol
@@ArtistMarkFlynn I was looking at the speculation forums, and the general consensus was that doom guy had been trapped for so long that he had some atrophy, thus the 2016 armor, the eternal armor is him back at full power
His muscles atrophied from being in the sarcophagus I guess. He didnt have time to bulk back up properly
The armor would restrict his rip and tearing after all
That's why I like eternal better lmao
HUGE ARMS
Doom Eternal's overall art direction resembles every scifi action movie thrown into a blender and injected with the most potent steroids available.
In other words I love it.
I feel like it has a lot of Warhammer 40K and Starcraft influence as well.
My therapist: The Doomicorn Slayer isn't real. He can't hurt you.
Doomicorn Slayer:...
Stolen and unoriginal
Larken Cathey but... funny nonetheless.
@@thestarr7085 Did anyone ask
Jon Stamper I hate it.
Funnily enough, a skateboard can be seen in the Doomslayer's lair in Doom Eternal...so there's that.
That is amazing lol
So the he being rip and tear on the skateboard?
Shred and tear
And he has 3 guitars and a nicer pc than most people playing the game
"and without a voice"
Doomslayer in eternal: RIP.... and... TEAR
I thought the exact same thing.
Also in TAG 2: *_No._*
I think it's worth pointing out that the 'exposed' abs on the original suit are from battle damage. I wasn't sure if you got that.
I didn't, but a few people have pointed out. I can't believe I missed that! Think it's because of Quake that it threw me off!
@@ArtistMarkFlynn yeah i thought it was also just exposed, because of the original doom suit in eternal.
EGRJ in eternal they have the abs exposed so kinda seems like that’s here to stay
Nolan Smyth it looks jagged and damaged in doom eternal.
I love DOOM Slayer’s design from DOOM Eternal. He looked like a blend between Classic Doomguy mixed with his Praetor suit from DOOM (2016).
Also the wrist blade and shoulder cannon are great additions.
Thank You for this video👍🏻
For me I have to be the asshole and say I really do love the 2016 and Eternal suit designs, but for different reasons.
For the 2016 design, my opinion is one to one with yours, those with less care of the whole practicality thing. Additionally, the suit makes him look menacing but still feel human. His humanity playing the forefront is what makes him so cool. By all accounts, he started as a nobody but became the bane of all of DOOM, through nothing but unbroken will power and relentless fury. The ambiguity on top of this works perfectly for the reboot, making him appear literally mythical in nature whilst giving the player so much room to just imagine what he can do. The suit design plays into this excellently.
Then we have Eternal, whose suit design plays off the 2016 one perfectly. This new one has a lot more flair and dare I say personality to it. The ambiguity is gone because we don't need it anymore. We know Doomguy now, he's a demon-slaying god of war out to kill to most brutal things known to the multiverse. He's not just a human, but a predator. The Predator, actually, and his suit design does an excellent job showing us this. A suit that meshes sleek and bulking excellently, showing off that he's fast and powerful. The heavy emphasis on this body form compared to 2016 reveals how his humanity has evolved to shape this and as a sneaky little detail, a fair argument to be made for why he's now a lot more swol is that his body needed time to redevelop after laying motionless for so long inside that coffin he was found in.
All in all, both suit designs fit their games perfectly as they, in design, reveal the intentions of the two games. 2016 is our introduction to Doomguy and as such needs to be mysterious and reveal only enough to allow us to believe the lore we find on him. Eternal is us now truly getting to explore Doomguy, now that we know just who he is and what he can do. The suits reflect this almost one to one, and personally, I find this genius.
My only issue is that I really wish that arm-blade was a chain-blade. A pokey stick just does not have the same impact that a whirling blade that literally rips and tears anything it touches does. Sure he has a chainsaw already, but can really argue that more spinning destruction is a bad thing?
Chainblade would eliminate any chances we have for a regular chainsaw goodness & quick slash shit, that's a BIG no no. I also love the way his wrist blade quickly slash thing + you have chainsaw for spinning destruction. Why not both? Quick Slash+Spinning Destruction.
3:20 What I find odd is how most redesigns base themselves off of the exposed abs, but when you look at the original box art, it's clear they're only exposed because the outfit is ripped. I mean, it shows some of his inner thigh as well and no redesigns include that.
What's even weirder is you can see a marine in the background wearing the same outfit with no tearing.
11:11 I've always hated it when people call the main characters the name of the game (Example being calling Master Chief "Halo") but damn, I guess I can't be mad at people calling him "Doom"
Now that I think about it, doom is a really badass name
@@SaladaSla yeah, come to think of it, he's the demons' 'Doom'
Man, really love Zelda, he's so cool. And on a separate note, I really wonder how they'll handle Metroid's character in Prime 4.
@@gumfireparalax1371 lol
@Jay marlin it appears you have missed the point of my comment
I think I might like the Doom Eternal design the most, because it just seems so ferocious. Don't get me wrong, the exposed arms are stupid, but it really displays just how freaking muscular he is. As well as that, the Doom Eternal design seems to have slightly larger focus on making his chest seem bigger (further emphasizing the muscular thing).
Absolute best part about it if you ask me, is that it looks like it was roughly bolted together , what with all the cylinder-like protrusions (on the arms and legs, anyway). He probably knows this armor isn't exactly ideal, but it's good enough as far as he cares.
Edit: As I have been informed by people who know more about doom than I do, the suit itself is practically worthless, as it's an argent barrier (and/or the suit was blessed by an angel giving a protective barrier), which is what actually protects him.
Still looks cool as hell.
(also, I really hope it's the suit that has the barrier and not himself, otherwise he could just go full frontal, and I don't know how I feel about that.)
Solid reasons!
Plus, eternal' s design has the doom blade and the equipment launcher, so yeah you know I like it most.
Mike Pep best part is is that the 2016 slayer armor is one of the many skins you can wear. Pretty neat that id is giving us a lot of choices.
Based on lore, the arms aren't actually exposed in eternal, as the praetr suit was blessed by an angel and covers him with a nearly invulnerable field
The suit itself isnt what protects him, he has an argent barrier that surrounds the suit and his body. The arms being exposed doesn't actually make him any more vunerable because of that.
3:22 You can actually see that there was an ab armor plate at some point but it was damaged.
I know this now 😭
In Eternal, he’s literally brought his big guns out 💪
The Preator suit is the best IMHO. I think that not showing his skin and face makes him more mysterious, almost as if he isn't human. By making him more human in Doom Eternal, they take away that "force of nature" vibe he gave of in the reboot
To be fair, I think his ab plate got ripped off on the cover.
I've stared at that artwork non stop doing this video, and I can't believe this. Fuck sake lmao.
@@ArtistMarkFlynn it's fine lol
I think you are wrong, because in-game cutscene in 3:41 and the multiplayer sprite in 4:43 show the exposed abs to be a feature rather than a damage in the suit.
@@fishyfish1917 he isnt wrong, look at 4:48 to the right (doomguy's left) side of the abs, clearly that is ripped cloth, plus there are rips in his right leg too.
@@mathewedwards6775I mean, cover-art aside, that's why i pointed out the multiplayer sprite and the ingame cutscene, not the box-art. In those time the box-art might have been cool and all, but might or might not be closely related to the game. Like, the gun he is using in the cover-art isnt like any gun in the game, and also those demons in the cover art dont look like pinkies, imps, nor barons, nor any other enemy in-game etc. So... imho the cover-art / box-art isnt as important in this matter as the in-game cut-scene and the multiplayer sprite. (But is still relevant, important and overall, really cool)
My headcanon is still that Ash from The Evil Dead Franchise is Doomguy. Both use a Shotgun and Chainsaw and both Fight the Undead/Demons.
But one has a hand the other doesn't
@@HighBarReviews Interestingly enough, many times in the past Ash has been given a robotic hand. Its not too far fetched that in the far future they'd give him one.
@@AgherDeadpan oh yea I forgot about that
The chainsaw and super shotgun were directly influenced by Evil Dead 2 when id Software created DOOM back in 1993. DOOM was originally going to be a licensed Aliens game, but 20th Century Studios weren't giving id Software enough creative freedom so they scrapped their deal and created DOOM.
Ash was one of the biggest influences for Doomguy, according to the classic Doom devs.
14:06 You actually do get a glimpse of his face on the HUD when you pick up powerups.
I think DOOM Eternals design works best because the Doomslayer doesn't actually need to worry about exposed spots due to his Seraphin blessings and just overall power
I know this comment is before eternal got released but 2016 doom has seraphin's blessings
@@jerymcervantes9493 I'm aware, I'm just saying due to those the only use for the Preator suit was for the extra power boost. Overall though the Doomslayer would be perfectly capable without it
This and how he wouldn't use the most high tech suit because he'd want the most direct and brutal suit. Doom guy uses his sheer berserker rage and brutality to get the job done. Not the most intelligent or scientific method. His literal motto is RIP and TEAR. Also sun's out guns out lol.
They're all good in there own way. They all fit the style of their respective games.
Agreed!
Except for the movies...
@@lerombus6020 Yeah, I was just thinking about the games. The movies weren't my thing.
Except Doom 3
@@thisguy1640 I meant Doom 3 too. The lack of helmet creates a more human connection which compliments the games horror and psychological attributes.
well when you have tree trunks for arms, I don't think any suit, how much advanced it was, will be able to cover them lol. so that's hwy he has exposed arms in doom eternal.
Haven't even seen the video yet but we can agree that the DOOM Eternal Design is best right?
Okay guess I have to unsubscribe now
🤣
Lmao
No
Original is better
16:01 I mean really I can excuse his arms but if you look at him in game not only is his abdomen not exposed but if you look on the cover that part of his Armour has been scratched away hints the bloody scar on his stomach. Really I think almost every design is cool in some way and I have a hard time choosing between them.
2016 is so cool it’s so mysterious, without the naked table intro you wouldn’t know his race, his body damage, if he’s ripped blah blah blah. He is just pure anger and hate towards demons. I like the new additions to the eternal version but I’d rather 2016
MF FLAME I 100% agree 2016 was just amazing in every way
8:45 - Basically, imagine the original Doom on crack - or some alien equivalent - and this is what you end up with....
Argent energy, anyone? ;)
The thing about Doom Slayer is that he doesn't *need* the Praetor Suit. Neither the old nor the new one. The lore will have it that he fought hell for years and years before being blessed by the Seraphim to continue the slaughter for eternity. The Praetor suit was given to him at a later point -- by the Wretch. It likely served the purpose of inspiring the Elite of the Sentinel army's armor pieces as they actually look noticeably 'low tech', with shotgun shells and similar on their belt. Same color palette as well. This was naturally done *after* Doom Slayer joined their ranks and became one of the highest ranked -- as noted by the orange on his right shoulder which goes again in both iterations of the Praetor suit and on artwork of the elite, uncorrupted soldiers.
The suit is a throwback to the Doom Guy's suit with the exposed arms, but it's only the suit. The guy is the same man. Doom 3 would probably be one of the other dimensions they speak of.. but he IS Doom Guy as well. I wouldn't be surprised if there's references to Doom 3 in Doom Eternal in ways other than easter eggs as well.
To me the Doom Slayer's suit of Doom Eternal is the coolest one. He doesn't need the protection the suit brings so weak points can be exposed and maybe having the bulk of the suit to cover those fucking tree trunk arms would make it more annoying to move around. Doom Eternal's suit has a feel of unstoppable force. I can't imagine them ever being able to top that one.
I like how clouded the visor is in 2016. With the lore and gameplay building him up so much not being able to see his face clearly makes him come off as a force of nature and leaves room to the imagination that anything could be under that helmet.
As a Quake 3 fan I can say the 3D model on Tony Hawk literally is the same of Q3's one. Even the textures are the same.
That would make sense tbh!
And engine maybe :)
Crazy how much the Doom model in Q3 looks like the original Romero's concept design
Doom Eternal is easily the best design for me, it's the Movie Sonic / Skylanders Crash of the Doom franchise!
Also, I love the Doom franchise, it has fun games and is incredibly interesting to go through
Also you forgot to mention that Doom had *a flippin' pinball machine in pinball fx for modern consoles* , it's entirely based on Doom 2016, so there's nothing new to see there besides the fact that the machine is actually very fun like it's fps counterpart
Question: How did Skylanders Crash differ from the original design? All I really remember about Skylanders was them massacring my poor boy Spyro.
you say it like skylanders crash was good.
@@Dephire yes, that design is *BEAUTIFUL*
@@chomperelectric2676 Hmm, I suppose I was thinking of Spyro.
@@Dephire yeah, Spyro doesn't look very good in Skylanders, the reignited design is better
I actually like that you can see his face in Eternal. I'm usually not a fan of this, but in Eternal, it just fits so well...
0:14 WHY DIDN’T DOOMGUY SHOOT THAT HORRIFIC SONIC
I agree with you here. Although the new Armor looks awesome, I prefer the 2016 version. Plus in Doom Eternal you can use the 2016 armor with the new Armblade and shoulder cannon. So that will look awesome. But I like the 2016 armor due to it's more mysterious nature, like you said. Very few parts of even his face are visible. I think I'd like the new set more if the visor was less transparent.
I really enjoyed this video! Thanks for doing it. The intro was comedy gold!
No problem at all! Thanks for watching!
It's all about personal preference. For me, I love that I can see them big beefy ARMS. So I really dig this new design. He's gorgeous.
I like the Doom 2016 design "more" in that he seems more like a badass human than straight up superhuman
But now that your badass human is warmed up... It's time for him to become a badass diety of mass destruction and pain
@@hovis_esports Meh. People have weird ass taste.
But, he is a superhuman tho, a super badass one
@@mathiaseriksen6600 don't care didn't ask plus you're white
@@zeallust8542 The fuck kind of answer is that?
I was expecting you to go with eternal, but it was a pleasant surprise when you agreed with me about 2016's version being better. I don't like the exposed arms, and I think the mystery of the character is great. Also, the colour scheme is more pleasant, whereas eternal's colour scheme with the strange green on the bronze to brown colour, and it looks almost like doom slayer swamp edition.
I've always been different I sometimes like the mysterious badasses showing some type of human to them if that makes sense.
The exposed abs of the first doom was just because his t shirt was ripped, as seen if you looked closely around said exposed abs surrounding, you could see ripped clothing.
If you go into the Slayer's office, in the fortress, in Doom Eternal, you can see the original Praetor suit dismantled on a work bench. My personal interpretation of this is that Doomguy ripped the thing apart, trying to remove Sam's modifications (the tether from Doom 2016), and what he has now is a somewhat cobbled together (advanced cobbling), good enough, replacement.
So, yes, 2016 suit is a better design. It was presumably created by Sentinel engineers, after all. Eternal suit is what Doomguy, Vega, and the fortress 3D printer could come up with on short notice. They added a cool wrist blade, but didn't want to wait for the arm covers to print, because weapons took priority, and we all saw how long it took to finish the ballista.
Commander Keen. Man I remember plaing this game as a kid when it came out. Think it was Commander Keen in Goodbye, Galaxy or some thing. lol
Think that's the exact one I had!
I like to think that after many attempts, a character's design reaches it's apex. Think about how many different Marios we had before he got a consistent form. I think the Doom Eternal design is the apex for this character. It's classic, it's badass, and it's more refined than we've ever seen. He has so many abilities now, he is perfect Smash Brothers material. The doom blade, the shoulder cannon, the dash, there's a lot of potential there.
As much as I love Doomguy’s Design in *DOOM ETERNAL*, I’ll always have *DOOM 2016* as my favorite since it had this slim, aesthetic, mysterious vibe. Not to mention how it revitalize *DOOM* and brought it back to the gaming industry. It’s nostalgic and just my favorite design for me
The Doom Eternal devs have publicly said that the Slayer's new Praetor suit was designed to empower the player and make them feel as badass as possible. Doom has always been a power fantasy, and the new character design is supposed to reflect that idea. Personally, I like the practicality of the 2016 Praetor suit the best since it feels more in-line with what a suit of armor is supposed to do, but I understand the change nonetheless. Plus, getting to customize the Slayer kind of makes this a moot point.
The doom 2016 poster suit the one that has a orangish visor and looks like it has been enchanted by flame powers
Definately agree, seeing the 100% metal armor in Doom 2016 is more mysterious and omnipotent to me. The Eternal representation looks definately more badass but also like Doomguy takes it more personal, and it completely ruins the feel that I could be that guy because of such manly biceps lol
In my opinion,The 2016 armor is the coolest looking,But I can see why people like the Eternal armor and customization(UNICORNS)
Once I found out you could play with the OG Praetor Suit, I ran through the level where you rescue Hayden to get more Sentinel Batteries and unlocked the door it was behind.
Love this video. If you’re going to return to the series, would you talk about the demons? I would love a video on either the Cacodemon or Revenant.
My all time favourite appearance of the Dom Marine is the one in Quake Champions - the arena skin. It's simple and really cool looking.
My favorite is Eternal suit. I just love the chunky plugs/bolts and the buff arms, along with the abs.
I like to imagine that the exposed biceps on the slayers armor in Eternal is less of him being fearless to what he's fighting, and more his arms are just too damn big to fit into any armor for the suit.
I love all the designs, and the 2020 praetor suit looks badass to the max, but if im being a massive design dork about things id also favor the 2016 suit, because the 2020 suit's design is a bit....noisey, while i actually really like the exposed upper arms , asymmetric limb armour and changes to the helmet the addition of extra "spikey bits" , grenade launcher and retractable arm-knife makes the design just a little more cluttered than 2016's suit. Then again, the 2020 suit has more matt colours while 2016's was shiny, so again, it really is hard to say, definitely a matter of personal preference!
2016 looks too generic & Halo ish. That's why they need some predator shoulder cannon shit & exposed BICEP MOOSLE.
You have brought the Doomicorn upon us, and I’m not even mad.
I love how *D O O M* series is one of the only few game/movie series that the design changes were liked by all, but some designs were more preferred than others, per person.
Hey great video. I'm just going over all the designs for my next armor.
I agree, and a big factor would be how easy it is to self project onto the 2016 design and feel even more of a demon killing badass, which is a big part of doom's gameplay of that power fantasy and immersion.
I love how the slayer himself modified his armor while recycling components from the previous praetor suit to the newly upgraded one.
I forget how many Doom guys there have been!!! Top video dude, Doom 3's guy needs to keep his helmet on! there was something so odd about it
yes, I just love the doomslayer wrists, the little knobs idk what they are
I may have a reason for why the arms are exposed
We saw in a video made by IGN that the 2016 suit is in peices and seems to be under construction at the moment in the fortress of doom and the slayer needed a new suit of armour
The exposed arms could be for flexibility purposes due to him always running and gunning,it probably makes it easier to move his arms around
Well good thing you can use the praetor suit in doom eternal.
The abs weren’t exposed, The suit was torn. If you look closely there are scratches and ragged cloth. Also the other marine in the background doesn’t have exposed abs.
It took me way too long to realize that the suit wasn't just stupidly designed
I haven't seen anyone mention how lowkey badass the shoulder cannon is, hope to see a demon skull collection get added to Fortress of Doom
His biceps are expose in Eternal because they got too big for the suit.
I love the original Doomguy appearance the best, simply because it'd look right at home in a lot of the action sci-fi movies around that time like Aliens (1986), RoboCop (1987), and Starship Troopers (1997), with it's bulky armor giving it a cool and goofy charm.
This is super true. I think the new Doom Slayer was done right in 2016, and while his 2020 design is still awesome, I really dislike his arms being exposed like they are, even if there is lore to explain it off. The only other problem with his design now, including 2016, is the visor being slightly transparent. I'd rather it be completely opaque so he can be really ambiguous and immersive like Isaac Clarke was in his first game.
What is absolutely awesome that you can use the 2016 armor via an unlockable in Eternal. First thing I'm gonna change will be that
Person:What about Doom Anil-
Me:Shut up
Person:But-
Me:That never happened
erm, btw, the new lore which is in doom 2016 states that the doom slayer was given increased strength and durability...he doesnt NEED the amour other than that it helps him harness argent energy
It states that he doesn't need the armour?
man love your video, were you thinking of doing a similar video on halo master chief? i think what we see in the armor design from halo infinite trailer is a mix of previous one.
Just stumbled to this channel. Very well constructed content, great job. I wish you hit that viewer/subs count big time. You have a new sub and a like from me and thanks for the video.
Thanks dude! I can only hope so but I think it's down to luck at this point. Cheers for the sub.
For me the 2014 reveal of the original concept design, though blocky is the definitive DOOM armor/Doom Guy/Slayer/Marine design. Very practical everything in his body is not exposed and that helmet is very cool like old scifi films.
I personally like both 2016 and Eternal’s designs. 2016 has a more mysterious look to it and the slightly obscured face adds to the mystery of who the Doom Slayer really is. However, Eternal exudes this raw energy of “I’m about to fuck your shit up” much better than its earlier counterpart and since the identity of who the Doom Slayer had been revealed it only made sense to show more of his face.
I think the exposed abs were pretty cool in the original design. The abs weren't exposed by design though, a demon ripped that part off the armor. You can see how the armor would have looked like intact in Quake champions, where it allows you to customize it.
12:52 You could find a skateboard in Doonslayer's room in Doom eternal
That's awesome lol
wait ... this isn't the tom nook video I was looking for! 😨😱
( I like it (this video) so far )
(good)
I agree with you, 2016's design is more practical and mysterious. In Doom 2016 we can not see his face or hear his voice. I love the idea that Doom Slayer is beyond an angry dude with super human strength. He's been through a lot, he is not human anymore. He is like a natural force of destruction for demons. I think they have lost some of that in Doom Eternal. Seeing him from outside feels weird to me. He just stands around in silence and anger, listening to other characters in a lot of cutscenes and pumps his shotgun sometimes to scare some of them. In Doom 2016 he doesn't give a shit about any character, his first reaction to Samuel Hayden was to smash the console he's been talking through. There are some moments he stands and listens in Doom 2016 too but we don't see him from outside so it doesn't feel weird.
Actually his new suit is actually just a modified version of his 2016 armour. If you go into his personal quarters you find the glove, helmet and torso in his workshop, meaning that he took apart the old one to build his new suit.
I'm gonna give it to Eternal it just pops and his intense hate filled eyes shining through the visor looks insanely threatening. I love the Praetor suit and your opinion is very much valid but I just can't deny how awesome Eternals outfit is.
I remember playing the Tony Hawk game as a kid, it was really fun and loved the DOOM decks. But the one I played the most was this zombie dude with a giant eyeball for a head admittedly.
The slayer in doom eternal reminds me of the predator with his shoulder cannon and wrist blade. But in general I like all of Doomslayers designs
To me, i think the 2016 praetor suit is more practical in terms of use, like it looks like it could be used in space and underwater, and with in harmful gasses, also nice to see the 2016 praetor suit in DOOM eternal as well as the classic combat suit.
In my opinion I like Doom Eternals one because it's like a re-imagining of the first design
Got the Doom 2016 Praetor suit a.s.a.p. when playing Eternal, it kicks ass!
I really enjoyed this video man, keep up the great content
Thanks dude. Appreciate you taking the time to watch!
@@ArtistMarkFlynn of course man, I look forward to future uploads
Obviously. Did you SEE that unicorn costume? Friggin' fabulous.
I like the preator, low key one can imagine whatever look you want for Doomguy. Really loving the great adaptations shown in the remakes. The ambiguity of Doom 2016 probably makes it my favorite too
eternal for sure, because of the doom blade and the equipment launcher. the equipment launcher is gameplay wise probably the best change that is not an addition, now you can shoot while throwing your grenade. also kinda puts some conflict to the og praetor being the most advanced looking, when you still manually throw your grenades(otherwise i do agree it looks more advanced). the doom blade is also an elegant addition that just adds so much variety to the glory kills from the mostly blunt damage attacks from 2016, w/o needing to add shooting animations on the glory kills(which whether or not it consumes ammo, someone will complain).
I think classic, praetor and eternal are all equally badass. Impossible for me to pick between the 3. Also looking up how to unlock Doomguy in THPS3 right now!
There are always two rules to each DOOM Appearances, Green Armor and no sleeves
And it should always be that way
William Joseph "BJ" Blazkovicz, after the war, had a son. That son went into showbiz and took the stage name Blaze. His son in turn was named after the child's grandfather. William Blazkovicz II would sign his name "Billy Blaze".
That'd be Commander Keen, and he doesn't look like he belongs because he's a child.
Doomguy's canonical first name, outside of games like Doom RPG, is yet unknown but he is canonically a Blazkovicz and the grandson of Commander Keen.
And yes, the Slayer is him.
It can be fun to look at each skin as a different implication to the story.
Start the game with the Demonic Skin: Hayden sent DoomGuy back to hell, where he fought for so long that he came back partially corrupted.
Start the game with the Classic Skin: The praetor suit was damaged (found broken in the man cave), so DoomGuy had to don the old suit that feels the most comfortable to him.
Start the game with the Zombie Skin: wherever DoomGuy was sent, it brutally murdered him...but he didn’t stay dead.
Start the game with the Mullet Skin: DoomGuy had a breakdown, ate bags of chips and drank barrels of booze in his fortress until the invasion made him accept it was time to get back out there.
Start the game with the Doomicorn Skin: the only way back to this dimension was by sacrificing a unicorn, which DoomGuy did...and had a lot of fun.
Have you seen the new customization trailer withe cool new designs and a new version of the classic doom guy costume
I would have to agree with you points and reasoning I love the original concept due to how iconic it is and I think both the 2016 Doom and Doom Eternal capture the idea of The Doom Marine's suit really well. But I do think it boils down to personal prefrence both are really excellent designs but I think I like the design in Doom Eternal a little better just because it resembles the iconic 1990's box art more. It also fits with Doom Eternal since he's fighting Demons on earth vs in Doom 2016 he was on Mars and in Hell so a more tech advanced suit to protect him from the elements makes perfect sense vs one could argue there are no harmful elements he has to be wary of as he's on earth.
Really both are good but the one in Doom Eternal is more aggressive and battle and combat emphasis while the one in Doom 2016 is more well rounded and not emphasized as much on combat and as such has no major weaknesses. Excellent breakdown and I would have to agree with your reasoning.
Can't believe you all really slept on the doom comic design.
WHO'S A MAN AND A HALF
I'M A MAN AND A HALF
I WOULD think the Doom Eternal suit is best, if it weren't for the predator-esque gauntlet-blade and shoulder-cannon. They're very gimmicky and don't really contribute anything. The blade even detracts in my opinion. Part of the badass appeal is how he rips and tears demons apart with his bare hands. Plus gauntlet blades are generally impractical and gimmicky
If you think of in game, the new armor in Eternal could be the reason he has better agility and speed because it has less movement restrictions then the 2016 Preator Suit
