[Update:Watch the trailer here!]
Bethesda showed off its first footage for the newDoomtoday at its inaugural E3 conference in Los Angeles. Executive Producer Marty Stratton took the stage, stating thatDoomis based on three principles — “badass demons, big ‘effing’ guns, and moving really, really fast.”
Based on the new footage we are seeing new mechanics like enemies dropping lots of pickups (such as ammo), a huge focus on brutal melee kills (including stomps), and a slowdown for weapon switching. The shotgun is confirmed, as is a plasma gun, and the good old fashioned chainsaw. Of course, multiplayer is also in, because it’s a modern shooter. It looks pretty fast-paced, and you may also play as a demon with a jetpack.
AFar Cry 4-esque “build-a-mode” is a go, showing experiences like horde-mode or “classic” four-player deathmatches. It’s calledDoom Snapmap, and you can build creations to share and play — it looks like a combination of an old school map editor and new FPS advancements.
Doomwill launch on Xbox One, PS4, and PC in spring 2016.
