Commander Keen helmet in Doom 2016

Post by cyber zero »

I don't know if this is old news for you guys, but I was playing Doom 2016 and suddenly I found this. I think it's really cool seeing a keen easter egg in a 2016 game.

I saw a screenshot a few days ago, a nice little Easter Egg. I've also seen a Doomguy doll with dressed in Commander Keen colors.

Nice find! I was aware of this, though I haven't played the game. How are you liking (or disliking) it, CyberZero?

I was expecting it to be complete garbage. The fact that none of the original doom devs were working on it, knowing that Bethesda was involved, and the awful beta gave me the impression that it was going to suck.

I'm angry that I can think of anything bad about this game. It feels like a proper DOOM game.

(Multiplayer still sucks though)

I'm actually loving it.
The single player of course, because I never play it online.

There are some flaws. Like the places where monsters are spawning. It's cool at the beginning, but later gets repetitive and too predictive. That sucks. Also, the gun could have been something better. Right now it looks like a piss gun.

As for the Keen's helmet. We've seen this before in other games. It's nothing new, it's boring, it's stupid and it's insulting to the Keen fans :x .

I tend to agree, especially since he's looking pretty dead there... It's kind of like in DOOM 2 or wherever that was where you find dead hanging Keens: Not. Cool. :bloody
Keen Easter eggs ought to be respectful to the games, like the "Dopefish lives" thingy, and not have Keen as an enemy or dead.
Of course, that is just my opinion. :p
I flermmed the plootash just like you asked.

Sorry about the big errors on this post, but im portuguese and at work right now and dont have time to use an english corrector.
I dont think it was their intention to be disrespectfull. They also have the dragonborn dead somewere in the game and its their big franchise right now. Its just Doom being doom making things disturbing and dark on porpose.
No levellass, its not a pogo. Just a machine gun.

I believe the Dopefish is placed in a different part of the game.

Yeah, I guess they didn't mean any disrespect; after all, it's DOOM, everything is dead or dying there 8)
*sigh* I guess the image of dead Keen just accomplished its purpose of disturbing me.

Btw your English grammar is very good, just the spelling & punctuation that has errors, and not "big" ones at that :p Keep up the good work!

Quick reminder that this isn't the first time Keen was dead in a doom game.
At least this easter egg was put in just for fun, and not as an edgy grudge against him.
thanks adrian
