Fans replace Doom Eternal's mumble rap trailer music with Mick Gordon's metal

Doom Eternal's new TV spot unexpectedly features mumble rap music, which does not quite fit the occasion. Luckily, Doom fans have made their own version, packed with Mick Gordon's aggressive industrial metal riffs.

lellkay2151d ago

Whatever it is it has no place in a doom trailer.

xxShadow-Shockxx2151d ago

don't get me wrong, i agree, the song in the actual trailer doesn't fit at all, the replacement song is so much better for the doom trailer.

The person who decided on the music should be the main villain in the game.

SyntheticForm2150d ago

Agreed.

Though I'm certainly no fan of rap, I think it does work in certain instances and a DOOM game is definitely not one of them.

DOOM has always been metal and it always should be.

Yea it's actually a decent song, although it doesn't suit DOOM at all. I was preparing for some unnecessary screaming in my ear but the guitar in the replacement was wayy better.

Muzikguy2151d ago

True it isn't but I don't know how they thought it fit the trailer

UnSelf2151d ago

cant wait to see the article stating "Garbage Rock&Roll replaced with Hip-Hop." Cant you imagine the size of the fire thatll be started?

CaptainObvious8782149d ago

Does anyone else thing almost all rap is worse than a group of dying cats scratching chalk boards and "gangsta" rappers are nothing but insufferable, tryhard douches?

That's bot mumble rap. Its generic pop rap. Dont see why fans should care, this is a pop trailer to get the normies and dudebros at the gym see it on ESPN and want to buy it. It helps convert normies to fans.

MrDead2152d ago (Edited 2152d ago )

This is DOOM not Bud Light!

It should tear your f******g head off and s**t down your neck with metal!

MWH2151d ago

That's the doing of some other dude who was all out of gum.

annoyedgamer2150d ago

So? More fans means more get tor enjoy the death metal. Eze them in.

Hungryalpaca2151d ago

It makes the marketing team look confused.

Let’s advertise Halo next with some Ariana Grande.

Lennoxb632151d ago

Depends on what Ariana is singing.

Edgelordsupreme2151d ago

Imagine using the term normies with a straight face.

lellkay2151d ago

Bethesda really are plonkers

Shuckylad2151d ago

A little to complimentary for me.

Smokehouse2151d ago

“Plonker” is the greatest British contribution to human society.

yoshatabi2151d ago

No music genre should ever die

Dom_Estos2151d ago

Dubstep should die, be put down a pit, have petrol poured on it, set alight, then nuked just to be sure.

Silly gameAr2151d ago

Yea, I'd rather have someone screaming in my ear for 5 minutes straight.

Immorals2151d ago

Shit rap should die. Good rap is harder to find, but is great. Still doesn't suit a doom trailer, but there you go.

Parasyte2151d ago

Same thing with metal. You gotta dig through a lot of garbage before you find the really good bands.

TheProfessional2151d ago (Edited 2151d ago )

Some rap is super entertaining and great to get inebriated to but let's be honest, it is not really music. There aren't even instruments involved and the actual rapping has gotten so much worse with migos etc. just making sounds (skkrt skkrrt). EDM isn't real music either, just rich kids with laptops stringing sounds together. Regardless of opinions rap has no place in a doom trailer though.

Casepb2151d ago

Careful that talk is no better than SJW talk. Just because you don't enjoy something doesn't mean it has no right to exist.

AnubisG2151d ago

Rap can be good but the wast majority is complete shit.

Rap does not go well with fighting games or shooters....or any game to be honest.

QuePasa872151d ago

It worked well for the Def Jam games :P

And what about THUG 2 and Parappa :P

AnubisG2151d ago

QuePasa87

You got me there. Rap works in games that are made with rap in mind.😆

chiefJohn1172151d ago

Highly disagree. Rap goes great with fighting games.

White people is mad at rap being in video game trailers again.

ShadowWolf7122151d ago

Bro, black people and white people have come together to take a dump on that TV spot. lol

That song was BEYOND unfitting.

UnholyLight2151d ago

Way to make it about race. 2K19/20 in a nutshell people

AnubisG2151d ago (Edited 2151d ago )

Why do you boile this down to racism?

CaptainObvious8782149d ago

"White people ARE mad at....." not ïs".

If you're going to be a racist, at least your proper English.

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

fr0sty10h ago

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan13h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher10h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty10h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies124h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH10h ago(Edited 9h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead11h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
