It’s been almost a month since the official release of DOOM Eternal, and speedrunners have already finished the game in under a half hour. Which is insane, especially when you see exactly how they do it. I mean seriously, these guys probably spent hundreds of hours playing the game and exploring every-freaking-thing.
Of course in order to finish the game this fast, speedrunners use legitimate glitches and other gameplay ‘shotcuts’. Some of these are simply mind-boggling, and makes you wonder how on earth did they think of all these.
Four developers from id Software sat down and watched a twenty-seven minute speedrun of their game. Executive producer Marty Stratton, game director Hugo Martin, level design director Jerry Keehan, and lead game programmer Evan Eubanks reacted to the latest speedrun from player Xamide, who currently holds the world record.
You can watch the react video below. Enjoy!

Yup, and you can tell, the soundtrack is all over the place, 2016 was way more focus.
No wonder his Eternal soundtrack was bland, generic and unispired compared to his awesome DOOM (2016) work. I fail to recall a single riff from Eternal whereas BFG Division alone is forever etched into my mind.
2016 soundtrack informed you about what’s happening around the player and drove you in the heat of battle. Eternal’s soundtrack on the other hand is just there like muzak in an elevator.
Hey it’s dsogaming where the f*king loser edgelords try to elevate themselves above the people that create by sh**ting on any and everything with manufactured talking points likely created by rival game companies. Good night you sh*t spewer. Too bad you will never realize happiness is attained by doing good to others and feeling good about it.
>and the only players who find that better as seen from proof of their gameplay videos, suck at Eternal.
It honestly surprised just how awful people have been in Eternal. I doubt most of them even finished 2016 on Nightmare or even Ultra Violence.
I watched the whole thing. It was legit. I used to think these runs were BS since they used glitches but the glitches are part of the game and what they do takes true skill. Amazing what people/humanity can do when they are laser focused.
This video series is hilarious. I love seeing the devs just lose it when players come up with some batshi* insane way around the limitations.
Watch the Cuphead video, it’s awesome!
Doom Devs can fu** off . It doesn’t feel like a true Doom game, in some ways its even worse than doom16. Soo stop talk shi* about speed run youtube videos and make a better game.
yeah, its pathetic hearing them justify their poor design decisions.
It’s worse in aspects that matter most.
I personanly conisder Doom 2016 better than Eternal. With Eternal something i can’t put my finger on was lost, not downgraded is just not there, plus i do dislike the jumping BS.
Also Hugo went into the Joe “i’ve done everything” Rogan podcast and admited they were given card blanche for everything violence BUT he and the team hold back because “think of the children”. For real, he stated their were things that were not picked up because he did not want his OWN children playing such.
They literally had their minds set in appeasing the normies, think of the children and don’t make the insane army reeee through the development of the game.
I am surprise the game end up being a good game and not complete garbage.
This is like congratulating someone for merely running “across” the race track to the finish line, instead of actually running the track to the finish line. Why is this trash commended?
Even speed runs without glitches and bugs. Who gives a f**k really? Also, why? This, is like praising someone for inhaling an entire platter of hot dogs in 1/100 the time it would normally take. Wow, what an amazing accomplishment. Truly worth of a “world record” catalog entry.
I realize we are neck-deep in the era of stupidity, but this is just baffling all the same. The garbage that the intellectual sludge of humanity elevates to praise-worthy, is not only puzzling, it’s worrying.
Something is wrong with the people that comment here and it’s clear its unadulterated sh*t heads pushing their evil negative emotions on to others. Maybe cry softly by yourself instead of trying to defame everything ever. Learn to become what you want the world to be instead of projecting your own inadequacy on others.
Sniff sniff is that some j*vvish projection i am smelling.
Please re read you OWN comment and edit accordingly or better delete it.
I do get speedruns when no glitches are used, playing the game “proper”, i see it as some sort of HIgh Score thing from old school arcade games.
As soon as they start using glitches, bugs that do breake the game there is no f*king point, you are NOT playing the damn game when you go out of the map and start “swimming” most of the damn game (that’s a Sekiro reference).
That sh*t is boring to do and to watch. There is no “acomplishment” in it.
Call me when someone has beaten the game without getting hit or dying.
Speed running using glitches is just stupid.
This isn’t about gaming. It’s about setting records. Just like the guys that try to set records on GPU speed and performance using liquid nitrogen. Of course you can’t game on them for very long. Or consider Drag Racing records. Of course you can’t drive a dragster to the grocery store to do some shopping.
I don’t care about any of those 3 but some people do. That’s why these things are done.
