DOOM 2016 DOUBLE JUMMP SOFTWARE
id Software worked hard to capture the fast-paced, straight-to-the-carnage sentiments of its earlier titles with the polish and presentation offered by modern technology. The game jumps right into the action, giving the players one quick narrator voiceover before smashing a monster’s head in and handing them a gun.
The first shooter I ever played was Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, and I was pretty impressed with the old-school reimaginings like Wolfenstein: The New Order and Shadow Warrior (2013), so I was eager to try out this new take on the game that pushed the first-person shooter into the spotlight. And on that glorious day, the faith of many was rewarded. Doom (2016) broke down the gates of Hell, ripping and tearing through the demons in its way, leaving a massacre trail all the way to store shelves. Topped off with a launch-day review embargo and no pre-release copies for critics, many believed that development Hell had taken its toll, and that Doom as they knew it was no more.īut lo, its will was unbreakable, incorruptible, and unyielding. Had the almighty id Software caved to the popularity of modern military shooters? A weakly-received multiplayer Beta looked set to confirm that suspicion. A sluggish and corridor-bound demo at 2015’s E3 placed fear and concern in the heart of Doom fans.
Their devotion to the one true Doom game was strong, but much like the trials of Job in the Old Testament, their faith would not go untested. Fans left disappointed by Doom 3 began praying for 12 years, so that the game they loved would rise out of development Hell and grace the world with its majesty.
