A tremendous amount of creativity is needed to keep a decades-old franchise from feeling like, well, a decades-old franchise. It’s no easy feat, and that’s especially true for a series like Doom, which is still very closely tied to the era to which it belongs.
Doom represents the pinnacle of 90s action gaming goodness, and id Software has been working very hard for a very long time to update that old school FPS flavor for a new audience without sacrificing what makes these games so darn addictive back in 1993. We know it hasn’t been easy on the developer, which had to reboot the reboot a few years back because it “lacked a soul”. Here’s hoping the latest Doom is all soul.
Doom releases May 13 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
