Bethesda:
It was easily one of the boldest and most badass moments of the Nineties. On December 10, 1993, the original DOOM was born... and since then videogames have never been the same. While id Software’s seminal shooter wasn’t the first FPS to hit the market – id’s own Wolfenstein is widely credited with launching the first-person-shooter genre – just about everyone agrees that DOOM popularized what continues to be one of the most-played genres today.
Fast-forward to today and DOOM has come of age. Now 22 years old, the series is not only a landmark in the history of games but is about to return with an all-new release in spring 2016 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. To celebrate #DOOMsday, we asked the team at id what it means to uphold such a proud legacy.
Evercade has teased a new DOOM release for their platform.
I hope they make a Doom themed VS unit with red lighting. it will be like the Duke 3d one they did a couple years ago.
Discover 10 timeless video games from the past that remain absolutely playable today. From Chrono Trigger to DOOM, these classics have aged like fine wine!
Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
The video game industry is already so creative, but one thing that can be improved is its handling of space.
After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.
It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.
Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
If this is how far tech has evolved in 20 years, just think what another 20 will do for the industry...
I can see it happen. Feels more like better AI and graphics by the demo I've seen. Still true to the nature of DOOM.
When I first saw Doom on a friend's PC, it blew me away. I built my first PC just so I could play it!
One of, if not the most influential game ever.
Think of all that has happened since its initial release.. ID fell apart, Carmack tried to launch a space program and now Bethesda working on a Doom game. But why are they pouring resources in to level editors and multiplayer map creators instead of making their own solid selection of kick ass maps..
