IP collab with DOOM maybe that would be pretty cool

Brent Gibson mentioned in interview with Rhykker as for the IP collab goes, something dark that would fit into the Diablo universe and fantasy. DOOM is gonna be my guess.

I also just noticed that DOOM the dark ages is for sale on blizzard launcher - at first I was shocked until I realized, Bethesda is owned by Microsoft, and Blizzard is also owned by Microsoft , all of a sudden it clicked haha.

I was going to buy it off Steam, but now it is on Battlet Net Launcher, I will buy it on Bnet instead.

Anyone else excited for DOOM the dark ages ?

Master Chief…where are you??? :frowning:

Dooms been mentioned but isn’t what comes to mind for me. With that said, I haven’t looked at recent doom incarnations.

Just seems doom/fps doesn’t really fit the d4 fantasy.

I’m more inclined to think movies/books.

Doom has guns. I don’t think that fits as well into D4.

First thing I thought of was D&D/Baulder’s Gate. I wouldn’t mind fighting a Beholder, dragons, lich, etc.

yea, not really seeing doom either, but who knows. Itll for sure be interesting to see where they will go with that.

Doom guy has a flail and a shield in the newest game. It fits with D4.

Yes, while the next iteration of DOOM will also include guns, it is also much more heavily focused on melee combat. I think having DOOM Guy cross realms to fight Demons in our universe (melee only of course) would fit amazingly well. I mean, the first New DOOM had the skeleton of a Skyrim NPC in the Hell Dimension, so why not?

That’s quite a shift from back in the day. Wasn’t aware of that recent development.

Makes one wonder about Brent’s comments on paladin/not paladin and variants of now. Shield has a pretty low relevance in d4 atm.

Still not sure about the ties to the gun history but guess it depends how it’s all done.

do you have any idea about this requirement? :joy:

Any other Doom I wouldn’t think works, but Doom: The Dark Age has a number of things that could work. The “shotgun” that is a crossbow that shoots skull fragments would really feel at home in Diablo.

One collab with POE 2 would be hilarious

Oh but I’d love a Diablo fps spin off honestly so many things they could do

Lost me right there. If there are 2 people on the planet that I could not care less what they say or do it is these 2. Keep falling for the click bait.

Well it’s got me thinking about another look at where doom is up to these days… guess that’s a win for doom marketing whether this is the collab or not :wink:

No wonder marketing likes telling us these things are coming without the details.

You guys keep thinking about skins, while the game itself is :poop: …
This is why D4 cannot be saved, people like Rod or Brent will just exploit these people daydreaming about a Barbie dressup adventure game while having a good laugh :laughing:

Well, if they want to finally kill D4, that’s the way to go, dev’s…
Basically hat’s my excitement.

But NO, please don’t do it!!!

There’s better Bli$$ games to mix with Doom, for instance Starcraft…
But mingle games is kind of “stupid”, kind of they do on movies mixing Aliens & Predators.
I get that these days with al the lack of imagination, they have to do crossovers to rent and generate profit, but some crossovers are really stupid and after all ended up doing the opossite, they simply killed the franchise…

So for a Doom & Diablo crossover, a big NO.
Not excited at all for it…

I don’t see a crossover between Diablo and Doom, that’s too different universes, too different games, I guess even the dev teams are too different :slight_smile:
Could be fun though.
My guess it will be some Starcraft cameo, the zergs are quite like the deamons, and we could have a sniper skin for the rogue, or a marine for the barbarian… like Thycus Findlay :slight_smile:

I hope the Id Software and the Doom franchise stays well and away from Diablo or any non-sensical collab… because Doom Guy doesn’t make any sense in this universe.

This crossovers seem terrible ideas to me whatever the IP they chose to go with. It is a Diablo game and they can build plenty from the Diablo Universe. Does Blizzard really need to go such desperate moves to extend the lifespan of the game?

They can’t come up with anything original or creative.

MIght as well kill 2 successful game series at once. Rod’s vision of success.
