How many of the monsters we've seen or known about before the game was released (assuming you have kept up with the media) ? I would've thought id would've had a little more restraint. I'll go down the list of the enemies on Planet Doom;
The former humans: pretty much all are accounted for in screenshots and videos, except for maybe some of the Marine zombies.
Imp: All over pre-release media, in almost all videos and the infamous 'squarehead' screenshot.
Pinky Demon: Also in videos and screenshots, seen eating the fat zombie in a bathroom (a scene I was looking forward to seeing ingame, but somehow never did).
Lost Souls: Again, seen in a screenshot.
Hellknight: Everywhere, featured on the game box.
Trites: Saw lots of screenshots of them, like the cool one where the Trite had 2 shadows.
Ticks: Never saw them, but they were pretty much the same as the Trites.
Cherub: Like most, in videos and a screenshot.
Wraith: Ditto ^
Mancubus: Hadn't seen it, but we knew it would be in and remebered it from Doom 2.
Maggot: In some G4 video I think.
Arch-vile: Also in a G4 video.
Renevant: Screenshots, videos, you know the drill.
Cacodemon: G4, again.
Vagary: Never seen, but mentioned and described in some magazine.
Sabaoth: Kind of a surprise, one of the only ones.
Guardian: Never seen or heard of, but sort of generic and predictable.
Cyberdemon: Never seen but we knew he would be in and he's similar to his original Doom counterpart.
In short, there weren't any monsters that I didn't see coming because I had seen practically all of them. It totally spoiled the scare factor. I know following pre-release media will spoil some things, but this is just insane. I was really expecting more. It was also missing some that I thought would be in, like the Spider Mastermind. I still liked seeing some environmental and storyline stuff that I hadn't anticipated, though. Don't get me wrong, the game was brilliant, but there were a lot less surprises than there should've been. Let's hope Valve hasn't made the same mistake with HL2
