E3? Who needs it? Certainly not the chaps at Bethesda, who’ve chosen this fortuitous time to tease the latest game in the fabled Doom series. They’ve done nothing but tease – revealing that they’ll actually be showing the game off at QuakeCon next month.
No numbers on the end, because that seems to be a crime on the end, this new game is simple titled “Doom,” suggesting it may just be a sexy reboot of the series instead of your average sequel. Without wanting to sound too enthusiastic for the sake of some semblance of journalistic integrity…HOW FRIKKING AWESOME DOES THAT CYBERDEMON LOOK? WHERE’S MY BFG?
Lucky folks who purchased Wolfenstein: The New Order on new-gen consoles and PC get automatic access to the game’s beta once that goes live.
Doom 4 was first hinted at by former id tech head John Carmack way back at QuakeCon in 2007, but the game was given a swift reboot to the junk at some point in 2011, with Bethesda saying that it "did not exhibit the quality and excitement that id and Bethesda intend to deliver and that Doom fans worldwide expect."
QuakeCon itself takes place from July 17-20, so expect a wealth of new Doom information around then.

Still jam Doom 1 and 2 every now and then. Never gets old.

I been jamming ZDoom since I discovered it several years ago. Always a great blast to spend a bit of time in the original games with mouselook.

It does do one thing wrong though, the flashlight is now shoulder mounted, so you can have light and a shotgun…. makes it too easy… :/

As long as there is more lighting than your average pedophile’s basement I will be happy.

Do they use energy saving bulbs?

According to Criminal Minds they use swinging incandescent bulbs that flickers on for 1 second at a time for 10 seconds every 5 min.

I wonder if they will make Doom an open world RPG…

Somehow that seems… wrong.

Does it? I dunno man, I’ve jammed all the Dooms, and if you could be in this open world hell, could work, then again, could fail

And I kind of loved the Doom 3 torch mechanic. Do you know how many Imps I attempted to club to death with my torch?

So keen to see what they do with this… All 3 Dooms were great for their time (my personal favourite still being the original Doom). So I’m really hoping that this one does for the Doom franchise what Wolfenstein: The New Order did for that franchise – revive it!
Hammersteyn
June 11, 2014 at 08:42
Agreed
Skyblue
June 11, 2014 at 08:54
I don’t think we’ll ever get that feel from the original again. Just the sheer speed and thrill of the originals (and that soundtrack) vs DOOM 3 which was much slower and a lot less fun even if far more immersive. That said, I’m still a fan and will be playing this one as well.
Rock789
June 11, 2014 at 09:03
Totally agree – I’m a big fan of all 3. And, truth be told, Doom 3 has a special place in my heart (it was a shweet game and fantastic for its time). But yeah, that feeling when you first played Doom 1… That was a special feeling!

Skyblue
June 11, 2014 at 09:02
Don’t spoil my day. I had an argument a few days ago with a mate when I told him that SF>MK because MK has been recycled too much but I failed to factor in the Alpha series & VS series (on purpose) which would make SF have more sequels than MK. I like arguing with young ones, they know nothing.
Skwissgar Skwigelf
June 11, 2014 at 09:05
Not here to argue, but I prefer MK. Both are equally fun in my book, I think I just like the overall feel and look of MK.
Skyblue
June 11, 2014 at 09:11
I was playing SF2 before MK was released. I spent a good chunk of my adult life playing MK and MK2 (arcade and Sega Megadrive). Lost interest after that but when SFIV was released I had a proper pantsparty.
