There's a new DOOM out so i thought i'd create a topic about it.
As a warning, this franchise is very gorey and not for those who can't handle a high level of violence.
It started with DOOM on computers back in 1993. It wasn't the first fps title but it popularized the franchise more than wolfenstien 3D did. It had a lot of gore, satanic imagery and was very controversial at the time.
DOOM 2 was more of the same but bigger and better.
There were several side games in between doom 2 and 3 such as doom 64 which as far as i know is the only console exclusive doom game.
Doom 3 i never played but I hear it was ok. Can't say much about it.
As for the recent doom, the single player so far is really good. It still has a lot of violence, no health regen, labyrinith level designs, great combat and unlike the multiplayer you aren't limited to two weapons.
The multi is like a combo of halo and call of duty but faster and more fun. Which will upset doom purists who want doom multi to be an arena shooter (no equip loadouts, no exp or levelling, starting with a basic weapon and finding everything else on a map).
As for the next doom, we might see it in 10 years from now judging the gap between doom 3 and this.
