Everything We Learned About DOOM Eternal At QuakeCon 2018

With Doom first hitting MS-DOS in 1993, calling the 2016 reboot Doom caused some confusion among fandom. Executive producer Marty Stratton said how he wanted to try something different when it came to Doom Etern

At GDC 2019, Google announced Google Stadia, its game-streaming, and game-sharing platform. In addition to features like cross-platform play and the ability to get help from Google Assistant, Google also had a few announcements to make about the supported Google Stadia ga

While there’s plenty of lore and story to uncover in Doom Eternal, it’s not essential to enjoy the experience. Those who want to dig deeper will find a rich narrative sprinkled with intriguing lore, while those who want to blow things up can do that. An example provided to us came towards the end of the demo where the Doom Slayer pulls out the Crucible. For id, there are three ways players can interpret the moment. Depending on how they want to play, a player may think A) that’s a cool laser sword, B) the Crucible is back, or C) that’s a different Crucible from Doom 2016, so how did Doom Slayer get it and what happened to the other one?

Another addition to DOOM Eternal this time around is the advent of 1-Ups which you can collect around the world. Grabbing these will allow you to, well, have an extra life that will revive you on the spot once you die -- and trust me, you will die. This seems like a bit of an odd addition to Eternal at first, but the game also seems like it's a lot harder than 2016's installment based on what I played. Because of this, grabbing 1-Up tokens spread about the world are almost vital at times and will allow larger engagements to be a bit more manageable. The best part of this is that if you do die and have an extra life, you're immediately revived on the spot merely a second later. The pace of the combat isn't broken up whatsoever and you can largely stay locked-in to what you're do

"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

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 Eternal collectibles|https://doometernalplay.com/ 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

Competitive multiplayer in Doom 2016 was not developed internally at id Software. That won’t be the case with Doom Eternal as multiplayer is developed by id this time around. Expect additional details in the coming months.

DOOM Eternal has continued to add even more mechanics and systems than its predecessor to encourage this aggressive style of play, too. Glory kills return from the last game and these actions still give you health upon pulling them off. Chainsaw kills, in a similar fashion, still refuel your ammo reserves when needed. Joining these mechanics in Eternal though is that of a flamethrower which helps give you added armor. If you utilize your new flame device to catch demons on fire, killing them while they're still ablaze will allow you to net additional armor that explodes forth out of foes upon death. When you get into the thick of an arena battle in DOOM Eternal , you'll have to keep track of all three of these levels (health, armor, and ammo) and make sure that you're pulling off kills that will benefit what you might need at a given t
