Looking at the history of the series, it makes sense that Doom Eternal be called something other than Doom 2 . Fans of the games will remember that 1993's original was followed by Doom II: Hell on Earth in 1994. Hell on Earth was usually shortened to Doom Eternal secrets|https://doometernalplay.com/ 2 , so it's easy to see why Stratton and his team wanted to avoid the confus

If there's one thing that Icannot understate about my time playing DOOM Eternal this week it would be that it just feels incredible to play. The shooting, movement, and everything else in between just feel s perfect. Conveying the feel of a game is a hard thing to get across in pieces like this without having actually played it for yourself, but the way everything bleeds into one another in this game is incredi

Outside of Final Fantasy 7 , the other major title fans were anticipating from Square Enix was Marvel's Avengers . While this game had been previously announced, nearly nothing had been shown. The E3 2019 trailer gave fans their first look at the game and its five starting heroes: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, and Black Widow. As the trailer reveals, a celebration turns deadly, splitting up the team until five years later when new threats force them to reassem

It turns out that Bethesda'supcoming **Doom Eternal ** gained an unusual tie to Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy when it came to naming the sequel. 2016's Doom reinvented the shooter series from its original roots and brought the demonic world of Slayers to the next-generation of gaming conso

The world itself has the personality of Mad Max (conveniently another Avalanche-developed title) and the currently-dormant Borderlands series. On the one hand, the world is tough, machismo, and gritty. The weak aren't surviving in post-apocalyptic Earth, and most people are actively devolving into their worst traits--the sadists and masochists rule the world in a barely-contained soci

While these short sections did break things up, the traversal mechanics that have been added in combat arenas are largely great. Jumping and swinging on a monkey bar to launch yourself into the air only to then drop out of the sky and blast a Cacodemon in the face with your Super Shotgun is extremely satisfy

Against all of my expectations coming into E3, DOOM Eternal somehow managed to exceed everything that I hoped it would be. As a sequel to the best shooter of this generation (in my humble opinion), id Software really had its work cut out for them in the pursuit of topping everything that made 2016's game so stellar. From what I've played of Eternal , the latest hell-raising shooter doesn't seem to just be a half-step up, but is instead a major improvement in every discernable

Another addition to DOOM Eternal this time around is the advent of 1-Ups which you can collect around the world. Grabbing these will allow you to, well, have an extra life that will revive you on the spot once you die -- and trust me, you will die. This seems like a bit of an odd addition to Eternal at first, but the game also seems like it's a lot harder than 2016's installment based on what I played. Because of this, grabbing 1-Up tokens spread about the world are almost vital at times and will allow larger engagements to be a bit more manageable. The best part of this is that if you do die and have an extra life, you're immediately revived on the spot merely a second later. The pace of the combat isn't broken up whatsoever and you can largely stay locked-in to what you're do

At one point in the demo Iplayed, the Doom Slayer opens up a giant cannon, kicks the missile out of its loading chamber, jumps into the chamber, and proceeds to blast himself out of the turret into a building that looks to be miles away in the distance. He then lands in said building, completely unscathed, and proceeds to start ripping and tearing more demons apart as if nothing had even just happened. It's hilarious, awesome, and just continues to add to the overall idea that you are an unstoppable demon-killing mach

It's pretty great to see that bit pay off when VEGA aids the Slayer in directing a landing pod to the surface of Mars during one of Eternal 's gameplay teasers, as the calm and collected AI construct was easily a fan favor

Although this year’s E3 felt a little odd with Sony and a few other publishers skipping the show, there were still plenty of exciting games on display. Some offered behind closed doors live demos, others actually let attendees go hands-on, and a few only had short prepared videos availa

Obsidian Entertainment’s live gameplay demo of The Outer Worlds put a lot of emphasis on the RPG systems of the game. For all intents and purposes, Obsidian is making a more space-focused version of Fallout , complete with companions, skill trees, dialogue checks, and tons of stats. If Fallout 76 left you wanting, The Outer Worlds is swooping in to fill that RPG v

Meanwhile, the more gun-based gameplay also comes with different scenarios and twists. While I spent a substantial portion in objective-based missions, I also hit checkpoint to checkpoint on the map, "liberating" gas stations and reinforced outposts with an iron fist and blazing shotgun. Other times, I was taking on War of the Worlds monolithic bots, dodging and sprinting from lasers within an abandoned town. I haven't seen a fraction of what RAGE 2 has to offer, but I'm expecting a veritable playground of death and may
