Doom Alpha Drops As iD Software Releases More Footage

The Doom multiplayer alpha is out and iD is focus testing on one map to run the online portion through it's paces. This isn't the beta we all got as a pre-order bonus for Wolfenstein: New Order but I imagine that isn't too far behind. The multiplayer footage looks great and for a non FPS multiplayer looks like something I might try.

Now I wonder how many face stomp finishing moves I will be able to pull off with actual humans when the game launches? The little demon on my shoulder says a lot, the other one isn't as optimistic.

Doom SnapMap Looks To Be One Of The Games Coolest Features

Bethesda is pushing the new Doom demon-train hard as they continue to talk about features of the upcoming triple A "demon murder simulator." SnapMap is my most anticipated part of the game as it highlights what I think is a current void in modern shooters. It was very simple back in the DOS based Wolfenstein and Doom days to create a map and share it with your friends. In the modern age of Call of Duty and Far Cry these features have been lost in favor of multiple map DLC packs and very focused multiplayer modes. Doom aims to break with this and take us back to provide players with a great tool to build maps and share them with each other across consoles and PC.

New Doom Footage Escapes Gamescom

iD Software dropped a new Doom trailer that features some new footage we haven't seen previously. The new footage is included with some earlier footage, but if you are itching to get some new Doom in your face, this is it.

New Doom is coming out in 2015 and I can't wait to check it out. That said, the more I watch this footage the more I feel bad for the Demons. Seriously, this game won't be a good time for them.

Doom Gameplay Surfaces Post Bethesda Showcase

I just finished watching the Bethesda E3 showcase and I can safely say it was the best E3 show i've ever seen. Bethesda kicked things off showing a ton of new gameplay from the upcoming Doom game and it looks incredible. Shotguns, blood and demon face punching look incredible and I can't wait to play it.

What do you think, are you read to head back to hell in Doom?

I want to be honest, the game looks so brutal I kind of feel bad for the demons....

New trailer:

It's like they took some inspiration from Brutal Doom.

The new Doom looks intense.

I love the BFG at the end. I haven't played Doom in forever.

Some people seem to think the new Doom game is too violent. I will give them one thing, the new Doom game is pretty violent, shockingly so but that's one reason why it looks so fun. smile

I often agree with Anita but on this issue, I really don't. I don't find a problem with violence in video games and when I hear criticism like this I think Doom should double down and add in more. I am also glad that we live in a country where people can create and buy what they wish.

Doom and other "too violent" games got tons of flak in the 90s as Doom was labeled by some to be a "murder simulator." I guess when stuff pushes the edges some people won't be comfortable with that, which doesn't mean it's wrong. I think the big difference here is that no one is calling to ban these games which they were in the 90's.

Violent video games shouldn't be all there is, but Doom is so over-the-top violent, it's almost a parody of violence. There's nothing realistic about the methods and amount of gore produced. It's funny, and it's fun.

Three Seconds of New Doom Footage Teases Larger Reveal

Bethesda let loose 3 seconds of new footage teasing an upcoming event where we will all learn more about "new Doom." From the horses mouth to you:

"Get the first in-game footage from DOOM . See the game unveiled at Bethesda's E3 Showcase - Sunday, June 14th at 7 pm PT."

The game looks great and I can't wait to learn more. Plus, didn't we all sign up to get the Doom beta when we pre-ordered the new Wolfenstein game?

InstaDoom: filters and selfies finally come to Doom

I remember playing Doom in the '90s, and loving every minute of it, but there was always something missing. What if I wanted to make Doom look like a photograph from the 60s? What if I wanted to take a picture of myself to remember the moment forever?

Well, now my prayers have been answered.

As Kotaku has said, "After almost 22 years, Doom is finally finished."

Brutal Doom v20 Looks Incredible, Coming Soon

Doom 4 was teased last year at Quakecon and since then there has been a ton of silence from iD on when it will be coming. We've been waiting for the next chapter of Doom for quite some time and if your tired of waiting, the upcoming update to Brutal Doom might hold you over. Adding the pump action shotgun as well as enhanced blood effects, Brutal Doom looks great. The mod creator has been testing it with Free Doom(an Open Source recreation of the Doom assets) so getting it running should be easy.

JP LeBreton & John Romero Talk about And Play Doom

Spacebase creator JP LeBreton and John Romero play through Doom “Knee Deep in the Dead,” in its entirety. It's fun to watch John play through the game and talk about it as he was so instrumental in creating it.

Now can we get a Myamoto playing through the original Legend of Zelda video series?

Lego Doom. I Didn't Know How Cool It Could Be.

I found this Lego Doom photo as I was spelunking the corners of the Internet and wanted to share it with you. Before I saw this I wasn't aware how much I wanted Lego Doom. Hopefully the Lego Doom movie isn't too far away!

Cool video. I also liked at the end where there were other pictures of other Lego-made things like Star Trek and Doctor Who. The last frame of the video also shows others, like Ghostbusters. Cool stuff, although was it me or was the BFG missing?

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 10/02/2014 at 03:16am

Yeah, I didn't see a BFG either.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 10/02/2014 at 03:46am

Have you seen the movie with The Rock in it? I thought that was awesome, especially when he gets the BFG and says what it is.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 10/02/2014 at 05:21am

I have it. I actually think it's a pretty damn cool movie.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 10/02/2014 at 05:23am

Awesome! I've seen it a couple of times, I thought it was cool, too. I've been a fan of The Rock since college (that's when I actually started to like wrestling).

The Story Of The Original Doom

Some awesome person on the net took a snapshot of the original Doom manual and found that it contains an actual story. It's no Song of Ice and Fire but it does make sense and sets the game up well.
