[E3 2015] ‘Doom’ Will Not Be So Easily Defeated
It seems as if Sunday night’s big Doom reveal left some fans worried that id Software would be going easy on us with the reboot. I guess they aren’t aware of how much preparation goes into such a presentation, so when a developer that had spent a significant amount of time leading up to that night perfecting the art of demon whoopassery took the stage for a live demo playthrough and handily trounced everything that moved, the game was made to look easy.
According to id Software executive producer Marty Stratton, that’s not the case.
“I’ve seen people and even had people say, ‘Oh, that looks easy.’ That is not easy. The game is a challenging game, it’s like [the original Doom] in that respect,” reassured Stratton.
Stratton went on to explain how they went about choosing the developer who would get to take part in the presentation, which involved a kind of internal tournament where the prize was getting to play the game at Bethesda’s media briefing.
It’s also worth mentioning that Doom has another 6-8 months of development ahead of it. I’m sure some of that will involve balancing the difficulty, including enemy AI and how many bullets it takes to get those rowdy demons to go to sleep.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
