PSA: Registrations Open for the ‘Doom’ Multiplayer Alpha
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to grab that gun over there so you can empty it into every demon you see. Just keep shooting until they resemble spilled plates of lasagna with teeth.
Bethesda opened up registrations for the Doom closed multiplayer alpha this week, and you can get in on it so long as you did the right thing and bought a copy of Wolfenstein: The New Order by May 26, 2014. The alpha will offer a taste of the game’s Team Deathmatch mode, in which two teams of six fight on the industrial-themed Heatwave map.
The alpha will feature six different weapons and two equipment items — the Vortex Rifle, Super Shotgun, Repeater, Rocket Launcher, Static Cannon, Plasma Rifle, Personal Teleporter and Frag Grenade — as well as the chance to use the new Demon Rune to transform into the Revenant demon so you can “use your jetpack and dual rocket launchers to hunt down the other team for a limited time to either secure your team’s lead or mount a comeback.”
Just make sure you watch out for the Gauss Cannon, a crazy powerful gun that essentially serves as the anti-Revenant. Head over here to register.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
