Steve Watts: Yeah, from the press end, we had every reason to believe Doom was going to turn out pretty bad. Sure, it isn't the best multiplayer around, but it isn't the worst either. It is by far one of the best FPS games I've ever played in my life.Īs I said before, I hated the multiplayer, but since the game's release I've dabbled in it a little bit with friends, and have actually grown quite fond of it.
The music, the enemies, the giddy feeling when I performed a glory kill.
Being one of the younger members of the team, I was only four when the original Quake released, so Doom was nowhere on my radar of games that I was 'allowed' to play at the time. To be fair, though, I don't have the background with the Doom series that many of you do. Although the original Doom pioneered deathmatch, I didn't play multiplayer I stuck to the three (later four) single-player episodes and the game's surfeit of mods. Some fans pinned their hopes and dreams on the poorly received multiplayer beta that preceded the game's launch. well, not low expectations, but zero expectations. Last week, before our break, the staff all sat down together to talk about why Shacknews loves Doom, and what the game means to us as a site.ĭavid Craddock: I don't know about the rest of you, but I went into Doom circa 2016 with. Developed by id Software, and published by Bethesda Games, Doom breathed new life into the stagnation of the first-person shooter genre and helped revive the industry’s love for fast-paced, hard-hitting action and gore. In 2016, though, one game has stood taller than the rest. Blizzard also released their own take on the hero shooter, and Overwatch has been an absolute joy to play. We saw a sequel to Arcane’s spectacular revenge story, Dishonored, and even got to return to the world of Final Fantasy in an entirely new way. This year was a great year for video games.
