Bethesda pleases the raving crowd with Doom unveiling — releases in spring 2016

Yes, Doom is back. And now we know a lot more about what kind of Doom it’s going to be. If you’re a fanatic for one of the most groundbreaking first-person shooter franchises in gaming history, you’re going to be salivating.

Bethesda Softworks showed off a preview tonight of its latest Doom game in front of a crowd of fans and press in advance of the Electronic Entertainment Expo game trade show in Los Angeles. The first demo showed an entire level of fine work with a shotgun, fist, machine gun, and chainsaw. The crowd reacted with cheers with every bloody pulp. The final scene showed a demon ripping off the player’s arms and hitting him with them. We also saw Doom Snapmap, the modding tools for this new shooter.

Doom Snapmap “is about players never running out of fun and imaginative gameplay,” said Marty Stratton, executive producer at id Software.

... This game will move much faster (60 frames per second) than Doom 3. It will have melee combat in full 1080p high-definition. You’ll be able to carry a bunch of huge weapons all at the same time. In the demo, the player ripped a demon in half, and then rip his arms off.

Sorry Sarah, I don't :(

I don't have a PS4, I have no Games to Support it.

And It isn't Backwards Compatible with my PS3 games :(

I would like to buy and Fallout 4 maybe a System seller :P

Come to the dark side Luke. The PC Master Race awaits your membership ;)

November. Well there goes my theory about a simultaneous launch. It was a nice dream. I still have my mind blown over an SBF Lydia clone being the F4 protagonist’s mother.

I just watched the video.

I took one thing away.

“Fallout runs on the next generation of our Creation Engine”.

Guess what that means? Ease of porting.

Oh....my happy...sob....I have SUCH a happy right now. By January I will have the Seminaked Valkyrie Army in Fallout to carry my burdens.

It’s...beautiful. (wipes a tear)

You can talk about philosophyw with a guy calling himself Caesar in Fallout: New Vegas. You can also shoot him and feast on his corpse to gain a speech perk....

The only question is, does America keep its power grid up long enough for us to play.

Laz, you are a smart guy and a hell of a hitter. But you sometimes miss the obvious.

If the grid goes down, we WILL BE PLAYING Fallout. For real.
