I think they realize that the female characters need their own stories. It's probably clear to them that it's a bad idea to gender swap when what we really want is originality.
Hugo Martin was thinking about a female slayer doing glory kills such as how are they going to animate her doing the Black Widow leg head wrap on a mancubus.
He played Quake. I'm not sure where he said that, but he is the kind of guy who plays the game before deciding to make a new reboot. He did that with Doom, and he played Quake as well, but it looks like Doom is a brand and a cash cow, so they stick with Doom games.
@@QCPro They went with the safest option. A QUAKE reboot, to be at least as good as DOOM was and with its own identity, would be naturally very riskful, and now that Microsoft has shut down Arkane Austin, and more bafflingly Tango Gameworks, in retrospect id Software people must have been very relieved to make the "right call", since another DOOM game has indeed much more chances to sell more than anything else id Software would have made.
@@yutro213yeah it feels like they tried to make quake reboot, but it seems like they couldn’t figure out how to do it. It would be hard job. Especially quake has huge tie with e-sports stuff, and they don’t seem to be huge competitive quake player. They or he seem to just started playing quake to understand game main draw. And i doubt he will full understand all the strafing since he likes to play with controller. It will be ways away to get proper quake. But he seems to make games when he fully understand the game, so if they make one it will be a good one.
I think it’d be difficult to reimagine the gameplay for a female protagonist…would she control much like Eternal? Light, nimble and furiously fast? We already have that…
One can at least say the original Doomguy was nameless because he was a blank slate and "Doomguy" is a fan term. While "Doomslayer" might've been less inspired by the "rip and tear" comic and more to do with Doom fans wanting him to be stronger and perhaps a response to Master Chief and that Death Battle video. The idea of using Crash and give her own Doom adventure could lead to her having new weapons, face new enemies etc. But i'd save that for an expansion at least. Give them enough time for new ideas. Also, pretty sure people only hate the idea because of modern culture war stuff but i'm sure id themselves can make it work. Doom as a series had different stuff making it "not Doom" while the originals are still getting modded. We're never really sure of how an idea works until it happens.
Don't think a female slayer ever would've worked. Doom is majorly male centric fan franchise. Why would they try cater to an audience that won't play it?
Generally i don’t mind female protagonist, but recently if they have female as lead it feels like political statement so it would be better to not have them thesedays. Lol unless they are extremely pretty and sexy lol

Glad they didnt gender swap the whole thing.
They should make the slayer a sassy black/Jewish trans woman. She could "slay"
Sounds like something a white 13 year old would say
@@armadrillo5488
& u sound like a offended liberal
if they ever make a new protagonist having the slayer be a demon would be the logical next step

I don't want a female slayer as same as i don't want a male Tomb Raider.
So Crash maybe?I guess for an actual dlc, it'd be fine.
Before checking the video (Ad time)
Clearly Hugo Martin never played Q3A, or he would have heard about Crash.

i would love if they want to tell a story of a female slayer and hate if theydo a female slayer because they were told to do so
Can't way to play the new doom game looks awesome good job I can't wait to play awesome job

Twelve years old, are we?
I think they can make a game about Crash but I don't think it would reach the same popularity like Doom with Doomguy.
Having no female protagonists would most certainly be a political decision. Just the kind of political decision a certain subset of gamers™️ endorse.
