Rage 2 and DOOM Preview: PC, PS4, and Xbox One Versions

Rage 2 and DOOM Preview: PC, PS4, and Xbox One Versions

And speaking of the Super Shotgun, the weapon's new grappling hook is a godsend. The Super Shotgun was already my favorite weapon to use in DOOM but being able to now quickly fly between enemies with the grappling device just feels phenomenal. I haven't seen all of the weapons and additions that each will have in DOOM Eternal , but the grappling hook for the Super Shotgun is a game-changer. I look forward to blasting hundreds of demons apart with it in the final prod

Answering the "does it run DOOM " question in impressive fashion, Google Stadia will also offer DOOM Eternal , the upcoming shooter from id Software. The game will be available on the Google game streaming platform in 60FPS at 4K with HDR , meaning that it will also look brilliant through the serv

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

And though this is a unique take on open-world game design, it isn't without its flaws. Specifically comparing it to 2016's DOOM , we can see the cracks in the plan. DOOM and its fast-paced combat is often praised, but a big part of that comes from the pre-designed narrow arena-like maps that the game uses. It's easier and perhaps more natural to take on a dozen enemies in a locked underground laboratory with little r

Arguably Microsoft's biggest game, Halo: Infinite , was back at E3 this year, getting a featured spot at the very end of its annual press conference. This year's footage was more story-centric, revealing an unnamed UNSC pilot discovering Master Chief floating in space. After reviving the iconic hero, a mysterious yellow lightning strikes the USNC Pelican, prompting Master Chief to grab a gun and jump out of the ship. For fans wanting more, Microsoft is essentially putting Halo Infinite back on ice until E3 2020 ahead of its holiday 2020 launch on Project Scarl

Square Enix has deftly combined updated visuals and a revamped combat system into a package that should satisfy most Final Fantasy 7 fans. The remake is brimming with nostalgia but still feels fresh and new in almost every facet. Put simply, this first taste of Final Fantasy 7 Remake proved that the game will be worth the wait, even if that includes several episodic relea

Having gone quiet since the release of Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider , Arkane Studios returned to E3 2019 to premiere the first trailer for its newest IP called Deathloop . The stylish and action-heavy trailer reveals two characters who appear to be in constant conflict with one another in a never-ending loop on an island known as Blackreef. These two assassins continually battle each other in an effort to protect what they believe in either breaking or keeping the cycle al

But that isn't to say the world is bereft of humor and variety--the world is anything but brown and drab, with heavy highlights of neon to offer visual diversity. In my hour or two of gameplay, I got to meet a Guy Fieri-like club owner with insidious plans for the city, an indulgent past-prime television host that was an equal fan of blood-lust and orgies, and a racecar driver that was really insistent about getting in my pants. Despite the serious world, RAGE 2 doesn't take itself too seriously and has plenty of callbacks to other media points that inspire

Also, can I just say how dumb DOOM Eternal is? Like, dumb in the best way possible. As much as I love playing the Doom Eternal Guide|Https://Doometernalplay.com/ series, I think my favorite quality above all else is just how self-aware and nonsensical these games are. Eternal seems to be leaning into that wackiness even furt

There is no escaping the idea that RAGE 2 feels like developer id Software's 2016 banger, DOOM -- and that is a good thing. Despite plenty of open-world, post-apocalyptic shooters rolling out within the year, RAGE 2 feels entirely it's own with an exciting twist to gaming in a gigantic landscape: rapid, unrelenting, and up-close and personal com

If you loved the 2016 Doom reboot then you will feel right at home in Doom Eternal . It’s faster, more brutal, and its soundtrack is just as bass pounding as ever. New traversal options give the Doomslayer more options when it comes to zooming around the arenas, but the goal is still the same: reduce every demon to a heap of blood and guts. Doom Eternal doesn’t have time for franchise fatigue; there are more demons to k

Dylan Cuthbert, the founder of Q-Games, confirmed that the studio would be basing its next game around the feature. Cuthbert didn't reveal the title, setting or gameplay, but did say that more information would be shared later in the y

Just a handful of games have been confirmed for Google Stadia so far. We've listed all of the announced games as well as Google's announced partnerships with studios, as at least one company is making a yet untitled game for the Stadia platf
