What id Tech 6 Means for the ‘Doom’ Reboot
This week’s installment in Bethesda’s series of E3 show floor interviews with some of the dev behind the upcoming Doom reboot is less about the universally appealing act of demon murder, and more about the game’s shiny new id Tech 6 engine. When asked what the studio hopes to accomplish with the new-and-improved tech, id Software CTO Robert Duffy summed it up nicely, saying their goal is to deliver the best-looking game that runs at a smooth 60 fps and at full 1080p.
The string of words that make up the engine’s name makes it sound like something you shouldn’t care about, but the impact it will have on the in-game world will be noticeable, even if you possess nary a modicum of technical knowhow.
Compared to id Software’s last title, Rage, which drew some criticism for its baked (static) lighting, when Doom finally claws its way out of the Hell dimension it’s been hiding in for the last twelve years, it will bring with it a rendering system that means a considerably more dynamic world.
Doom arrives next year on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
