Can id Software, the famous developer of various hits such as Doom and Wolfenstein 3D hit on target with it's latest release.

Id Software is celebrating 35 years and teasing new offerings in press release.

Employees at Doom studio id Software have voted in favour of union representation with the Communications Workers of America (CWA).
I hope the devs can break away from MS and take their IP's with them in the not to distant future. This entire consolidation and mass industry firings that MS has spearheaded has been nothing but a disaster for everyone except the already rich creatively bankrupt tw@ts at Microsoft.
MS is nothing but a drain on the entire gaming industry and every facet of it.
Good for them. With AI coming for their jobs and their new corporate overlords working overtime to replace them, it’s a smart move.
It won't be long before Microsoft lays off everyone in gaming and routes that money over into AI.
Time for everyone at Xbox to update the resume and start coming up with Indie game pitches.
The point of unionizing is collective bargaining. Sadly, I do not believe they have any leverage, which is likely why Microsoft isn't impeding them: The investment in AI is gargantuan. We're talking about a data center in Wisconsin that's about 200 city blocks. That is massive and insane.
QuakeCon 2025 is officially underway, with the largest LAN party in North America also being the place for exciting news for id Software titles. From the return of a keystone franchise in the FPS genre to updates for DOOM: The Dark Ages, DOOM Eternal and more.
Very good review. Nice flow and some very good points there. Overall, I'd have to say you gave this game a fair trial.
Sounds like a washed up version of Borderlands to me...
i find while this wasn't a revolutionary title, it was definetly a solid title from id
This is what I get from the reviews and what I have seen and played:
Graphics, Sound and Gameplay are great, but the open world is a false waste of time that has no real substance, the lack of RPG elements makes the character dull and unexciting to work with, and the game just ends with a terrible last areaa to painfully trog through.
Borderlands was pure brilliance up to the last end, which was a bit of a letdown. Not a bad ending but a little disappointing, which is LOL cause that is exactly the point the story was shooting for. Getting Borderlands 2 though, I love that game, I hope the saves can carry over.
I rented for my PS3. I was expecting it to be as good as borderlands but sadly that was not the case. Also the game has a lot of nasty graphical glitches. Next time Carmack better do a good job with the PS3 version.
