What’s the Best Weapon in the New ‘Doom’?
Before you even ask, no, you can’t pick the BFG 9000. It’s everyone’s favorite weapon, we don’t need a poll to confirm that. We all want a BFG to call our own. Every one of us would risk the slow and agonizing death of prolonged radiation exposure to have a weaponized cuddle buddy with the power of a portable Death Star.
There’s more to the Doom arsenal than its most devastating weapon, and I’m curious to see which one you found the most satisfying to use against the demon hordes.
I hope you guys throw me a curve ball and only vote for the pistol. The Super Shotgun might be my favorite, even though its impressive stopping power would occasionally be a source of mild frustration for me when it transformed the baddie I was looking to stagger into a fine red mist. And yes, I am aware of how silly it is to be disappointed by a shotgun that’s too effective.
Was anyone else surprised by how awesome the Gauss Cannon is? I’m not a fan of guns that take an hour to fire a single shot, but I had a lot of fun with it. Stupid Cacodemons never saw me coming.
In related news, a modder is bringing the new Doom weapons to the old Doom games. You can read all about that over here.
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.
