DOOM 2 Hint For E3 2018 Hidden In PAX East Interview

Hidden within an DualShockers interview with Bethesda’s Pete Hines is a clear hint - that the site didn't pick up - that a DOOM 2 announcement is coming at E3 2018.

The DOOM reboot was an amazing single player experience. I would love a DOOM II reboot with an amazing campaign like the first. In my opinion, they should keep the multiplayer out and just focus on making a great single player game. The multiplayer didn't hold my attention for too long.

Hyperstrada2636d ago

just finished DOOM last night . I didn't really play any multiplayer have other games for that. I did do one practice match . Glad I got to do the 2nd half of the game in 4k. I am up for DOOM 2 . D1 was a fun game

I can't wait. But think they're missing a trick if it isn't named 'Quake' or ties up the mythology to both franchises.
The new series should be;
DOOM
DOOM 2: Quake
DOOM 3: Hex

After playing a game like Vermintide 2 - I expect to slaughter groups of 50 demons at a time with insane levels of gore and violence.

If not, not interested. I grew up on Doom, I want that chaotic violent experience again.

FPS_D3TH2636d ago (Edited 2636d ago )

Doom reboot is a chaotic violent experience so can’t imagine the sequel would be less so.

TheOttomatic912636d ago

They’re very different games though, Vermintide is a Left 4 Dead clone whilst DOOM is an SP fast paced gore fest.

Nybz2635d ago

Sweet jesus you all aren't getting what i'm saying.

All I want to see is a ton of demons on the screen for me to shoot - the last doom was fucking paced at 6-8 at a time.

LMAO N4G is so fucking random.

TheOttomatic912636d ago

I feel it’s a little to soon to announce it (was hoping it’d be a launch title for next gen consoles) but if it’s up to the same quality as DOOM (2016) then let’s see it.

Because Nintendo makes great games.

It’s unreal that people are downvoting this when they consistently have the best scoring games on metacritic.

Well it doesn’t surprise me. As much money as they make and how they value their employees. It’s a great company in that regard.

Well, when your games remain full price many years after release.

And you make profit off of outdated hardware.

I would be shocked if they couldn't afford to retain their staff.

lodossrage1d 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h ago )

I didn't want to say anything but drivxr is right.

Nintendo always sells at a profit because they purposely use tech that's always 5 or more years behind. And it's also true their games hardly ever get price decreases.

Don't get me wrong, it's great they kept most of their workforce, but making a point to have your tech specs behind everyone else affords that luxury.

Darkegg1d 15h ago

I don’t think it’s their purpose to use old tech. It’s their purpose to make value of software and know their value. Nobody makes games like them that’s for sure. I just don’t appreciate their customer unfriendly policy.

It’s not impossible to take their status. Companies need to have a selection of 8-bit and 16-bit. Now imagine a split screen for 8 player game for SNES Mario kart and selling at $9.99. The problem is that it doesn’t make profit. So many companies won’t invest in “old” technology. Everyone guns for triple AAA modern technology software but honestly we can enjoy modernized 16-bit creative ideas that allows 8-player mayhem. It’s a pipe dream, possible but impossible.

Shane Kim1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

If they ended up kicking people out after all of that stated above, it would be truly shameful.

DivineHand1251d 12h ago

Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Tesla and Meta are all trillion dollar companies yet they are laying people off in large numbers.

I believe the reason Nintendo layoffs off less workers may be a result of their culture. It seems Japanese companies believe in giving their workers long term or life long employment opportunities and will exhaust all options before laying off workers. This is something we don't see much of in the west unfortunately.

Rdeal1d 5h ago

might be something to do with the fact all those companies hire more than 20x the employees than Nintendo

LoveSpuds1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 11h ago )

What the hell are you talking about? It has nothing to do with how profitable they are. Its completely cultural, MS and Sony make stacks of cash and still lay folks off. Nintendo chose not to lay off staff for the same reason their execs took pay cuts to increase staff pay instead; because they value their staff and view them as colleagues, and respect them as such.

If Sony weren't so US centric I fancy they'd fare better too, they should get shot of US and European leadership and go back to when Japanese execs were running the show if you ask me!
