New Features Are Coming to ‘Doom’ This Week
An update will bring a new photo mode for taking in-game screenshots and the option to center the weapon placement for those looking for a more traditional Doom experience when Bethesda starts rolling it out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on June 30. The features will be joined in the coming months by a series of content updates the publisher first announced at E3 earlier this month.
This should give you an idea of what the classic weapon placement will look like. A complete rundown of what’s coming later this week can be found over here.
Between this nifty homage to the classics and the upcoming ‘Doom 4 Doom’ PC mod that’ll bring the reboot’s arsenal to the first two Doom games on July 18, it’s sort of fascinating how this series has handled its identity crisis. That’s no easy feat, as we’ve seen time and time again in Resident Evil and Silent Hill, among others.
Much of the content the company has detailed has focused on the multiplayer half of id Software’s acclaimed reboot of the decades-old series, some of it free, some of it paid. In July, a handful of game modes will be made available free-of-charge, followed by the arrival of the Unto the Evil DLC that’ll bring three maps, equipment and personalization options.
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.
