Looking at the history of the series, it makes sense that Doom Eternal be called something other than Doom 2 . Fans of the games will remember that 1993’s original was followed by Doom II: Hell on Earth in 1994. Hell on Earth was usually shortened to Doom 2 , so it’s easy to see why Stratton and his team wanted to avoid the confus
As executive producer Marty Stratton explained, they aren’t building a world for DOOM so much as they’re crafting “an entire universe.” DOOM Eternal ‘s scope is set across dimensions, including Earth, Hell, Heaven, the homeworld of the Sentinels, and bey
Considering that Doom II went on to be the best-selling game of 1994 in the United States and the third best-selling title between 1993 and 1999, Doom Eternal has a lot to live up to when it comes to the legacy of Doom sequels . Thankfully, Bethesda looks to be trying its best to reinvent one of the best-known shooter series of all time while still keeping the hardcore horror that made Doom a household name. Gamers can once again step behind the visor of Doomguy for **Doom Eternal ** in the near fut
No more has been said publicly about the leak, although Bethesda promised to contact affected customers. As for the bag saga, it’s now hopefully coming to an end, with Bethesda Support announcing that the canvas bags are finally expected to ship starting next we
There is no doubt in my mind that DOOM Eternal is now officially my most-anticipated game for the remainder of 2019. If you liked 2016’s revival of DOOM , then you’re going to lose your mind once you get your hands on Eternal . DOOM Eternal wasn’t just the best game that we played this week during E3 2019 , it seems like it has a chance to collect quite a bit of year-end awards as well once the dust settles. Let’s just hope that the full game can reach the same highs as the demo that I pla
So just how did those development wizards over at id seemingly make DOOM Eternal so much better than what came before it? To me, it’s the game’s speed. While 2016’s DOOM was a fast game already, Eternal ramps things up even further. Enemies fill up the screen in droves much more than the last game and they are much more aggressive. As DOOM taught us a few years ago, the best way to succeed is to be that much more aggressive than your foes, meaning that click here to read in Eternal , you have to be even more proactive and deadly than ever bef
But once you throw off the shackles of traditional FPS design and approach the game more like a hack-and-slash action title with guns, everything clicks. You are racking up combos, ground slamming enemies and shotgun firing them into explosive barrels. It was only about an hour in when I started combining these Nanotrite abilities into a ballet of bullet-flying, neon-based combat and boy was it satisfy
This collector’s edition featured what was described at the time as a “canvas west tek duffel bag” and the accompanying images showed what looked like a sturdy well-made bag. However, when gamers finally got their bags, they quickly discovered that they were in fact made of cheap nylon and looked nothing like the image on the webs
Until then, those fans that weren’t fortunate enough to attend will have to content themselves with eagerly anticipating the ultra violent roller coaster they’ll be embarking on in just a few months. Luckily for them, there’s plenty to salivate over, and below are the ten juiciest tidbits to take away from its time in the spotlight at
There is no escaping the idea that RAGE 2 feels like developer id Software’s 2016 banger, DOOM — and that is a good thing. Despite plenty of open-world, post-apocalyptic shooters rolling out within the year, RAGE 2 feels entirely it’s own with an exciting twist to gaming in a gigantic landscape: rapid, unrelenting, and up-close and personal com
“I think [Christopher] Nolan did it the best, and we thought about that. It wasn’t ‘Dark Knight 1, Dark Knight 2, Dark Knight 3.’ Each one had its own name, but there was an arc there. They were all connected, as is this game as a sequel to [Doom] 20
At one point in the demo I played, the Doom Slayer opens up a giant cannon, kicks the missile out of its loading chamber, jumps into the chamber, and proceeds to blast himself out of the turret into a building that looks to be miles away in the distance. He then lands in said building, completely unscathed, and proceeds to start ripping and tearing more demons apart as if nothing had even just happened. It’s hilarious, awesome, and just continues to add to the overall idea that you are an unstoppable demon-killing mach
In a similar vein, Cyberpunk 2077 ’s E3 2019 presentation put the spotlight on the game’s many RPG options. From character customization to dialogue trees, Cyberpunk 2077 is still very much in the spirit of CD Projekt Red’s past games. Yes, the game still looks gorgeous and there were no load screens. But what impressed us the most is how CDPR wants players to have total freedom when it comes to approaching this world, as evidenced by the demo going through sections of the game twice (once stealth and once on offense). And the game even supports a full non-lethal playthrou
