Doom (4) Is set for a Spring release next year

I (Robin Ek The Gaming Ground) have been a fan of ID Software´s Doom series since the very first game got released back In 1993. So I took the liberty to write an opinion piece on the new gameplay trailers for Doom (4), and the game's rough development history.

The new DOOM looked awesome . But if you want to capture the feeling of original DOOM , we need twisted puzzle like level design with secret areas , powerups , filled with more demons .

personally the new Doom surprised me. I had zero expectations, and little hope for it considering its development issues...

but it looked great...

the original Doom games were actions games. While the game has always had something to do with 'hell'...its not a horror game, and imo, that was the biggest let down with Doom 3...the originals had tons of enemies, but ridiculously powerful weapons to use against them. I can't say the new version had, at least from whats been shown, 'tons' of enemies...but I really liked the nod to brutal doom with the melee stuff...and the chainsaw received fair treatment.

So here's to hoping the rest of the game is mostly like what we saw. No more survival horror, no need for a flash light out with no gun...and no freaking escort situations...

One thing though...i really hope that wasn't how the cyberdemon ends up...that thing looked like an undead walrus...
