DOOM Eternal is showing a lot of promise, and could be 2019's Game of the Year, but what does it have to do to stand out in a pretty crowded year of candidates?
Cultured Vultures: While we've been eating fairly good recently when it comes to DOOM, there are DOOM projects that never were or never can be ripped, nor (gasp) teared.
Midway did an excellent job porting DOOM 1 and 2 , just called DOOM, for Playstation in 1995 .
This is my favourite version of Doom. It also had the best soundtrack imo. Very ambient and creepy as f***. I never liked the rock music in the PC version, then again I grew up on the PS1 version so maybe I'm biased towards it.
Aubrey Hodges did a awesome job with the music for Playstation DOOM. I really liked the reverb type sound effects when you picked up health and armor in PS DOOM . Did not play PC DOOM until 2006 when it came with the collectors edition of DOOM 3 . I had a lot jump scares from Demons when I played PS DOOM back in 90S and was in my late 20s back then. And remember having nightmares of me being in DOOM , I remember in my nightmares Demons were chasing me and was climbing up ladders running scared from DOOMs Demons. Crazy scary but very fun times!!!
The PS5 isn't the FPS powerhouse the PS3 was, but there's still some good titles. Here's Chit Hot's picks of the 7 best FPS games on PS5.
all listed as number 1?
1. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
1. DOOM Eternal
1. Apex Legends
1. Battlefield 2042
1. Borderlands 3
1. Destiny 2: Beyond Light
1. Far Cry 6

Prepare to headbang your way into glory with these metal-infused games. You'll find yourself flipping your hair in pure excitement.
Doom Eternal and DMC5 are my GOTY contenders followed closely by Sekiro. Been a long time since this many AAA games were in my GOTY list.
I think it will be good. Only thing I'm worried about is how will Bethesda screw it up. Their last 4-5 titles has been alright at best but lately all their games had something that was not needed such as open-world for Rage 2 or repeated mission structure in Wolfenstein Youngblood (along with terrible characters). A few other problems include their games being buggy at launch, as well as having some sort of live-service game or incorporated microtransactions (which should not be in a single-player game).
So I think it the core game will be good, but at the same time I will not be surprised if Doom Eternal had some sort of microtransaction based on their past few games or some sort of hub area (which was leaked but unconfirmed if true). This game is bound to get some sort of backlash. That's the kind of day and age we live in now.
