You can swipe in different directions and remove limbs from offending demons as you see fit.Īnd as the footage suggests, it has an ammo counter which remains on 6 throughout the demo.

The chainsaw has been a staple of the Doom franchise ever since the first game, and in the new Doom, it looks frickin’ awesome!! It’s called a super chainsaw and it boasts ‘insta-kill’ on smaller enemies. SnapMap seems like a pretty decent level editor to custom design your own levels Sadly, Joyce, a long time Doom fan, died on the 9th September 2014 after being diagnosed with Lymphoma in 2013. Others, myself included, feel that a story a well-written, meaningful story, that gives reason to the otherwise mindless slaughter, can only affect the game beneficially – just so long as it doesn’t get in the way of the mindless slaughter of course. This has left fans divided, some believing that the game’s story has been so simple in the past (kill everything that moves, get out alive), that creating a deep narrative will take something away from what is, in essence, an excuse to exterminate demons in as horrific way as possible. It’s hard to make friends when your arms are massive green plasma guns, I findĮnglish writer and 4-time winner of the British Fantasy award for his dark fantasy novels, Graham Joyce helped write the story for Doom 4. No wonder they’re pissed off! Not much more is known about the story at this stage, but stay tuned when I know more, so will you. As the story progresses, we’ll see how the UAC conducted corrupt experiments on these demons, hence their appearance. Many of the enemies you face will be demons or monsters with metallic limbs and appendages. The game is set on Mars, like the original, where a UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation) facility has been invaded by the forces of Hell – naturally. At least, that’s what I’d say to his face.Ĭhronologically, Doom 4 comes first, set before the events that took place in the original Doom. Rather than only being able to carry two weapons at a time, like many modern shooters, which is all fine and dandy, you’ll be able to carry all eight weapons around with you, leaving you with just one decision to make, shall I a) carve this cacodemon up like a turkey, or b) make a nice puree with this ol’ rocket launcher of mine. You’ll also be able to carry all weapons you find, all the time. Alternatively, you could try to stop getting shot/eaten/torn apart. No, instead you’ll have to find a health pack if you want to continue on your mission. It’s called ‘Doom’ but will it be anything like this one?įor example, if you’re a bleeding mess moments from death, hiding behind a wall or a strategically placed pillar will not cause a miraculous recovery like in today's games. It has a completely new story, which I’ll come to later, but it does have some similar traits to the old school shooter. Well, it’s a little of both to be honest. So, is it a reboot of the original, or a new game all together? Fingers crossed…Īlthough popularly cited as Doom 4, the game is actually just ‘Doom.’ The current logo suggests a simpler, return to roots style game. I really hope it’s going to be like the good old days. There’s double jumping and all sorts of acrobatic stuff you’ll be able to do. It will be well lit, there’ll be monsters everywhere, and there’ll be plenty of ammo. That doesn’t mean I want a curry ice cream.īethesda seems to have realized this and brought Doom back to its roots. These cheap scare tactics annoyed a lot of Doom fans – myself included I’ve never played more than the first level of Doom 3.ĭon’t get me wrong, I love survival horror games, just not when it’s in a Doom environment. I like curry. It was slower, you’d creep down corridors only to have a demon jump out and attack you. In all showings of Doom, Bethesda has made it very apparent that the game will be fast and action packed.In Doom 3, the developers took a different approach by making it more of a survival horror game. A faster paced action gameĢ2,000 bottles of tomato ketchup were used to make Doom
