Forums - Gaming Discussion - New Doom Can Go "Toe-to-Toe" With Other Big Shooters, Bethesda Says

- Pete Hines had to say about this new Doom game fairing against other popular shooters:

"It has some old-school sensibilities but it is doing it in a very modern, fresh next-gen way," he told MCV. "The multiplayer is not your traditional first-person shooter multiplayer. It is not one shot and the other guy is dead, it is not about who has the fastest trigger finger or reactions."

"All of those things together creates something you're not going to get from many other first-person shooters...It can go toe-to-toe with those really big shooters."

- On the Doom franchise falling out of the spotlight in recent years:

"Your average first-person shooter gamer does not list Doom amongst his or her favorite or most beloved first-person shooters, because there hasn’t been one for a decade," he said. "Doom is fast-paced, very visceral, and sort of incentivizes you to be aggressive. If you are low on health, the best way to stay alive is to find a demon and kill. If you stop taking fire for a little bit, your health doesn't go back up."

In an effort to raise Doom's profile, Bethesda will roll out various marketing campaigns and events. Because even if Doom has great, innovative features, "If nobody knows about it, it's like a tree falling in a forest while nobody is around," Hines said.

Doom launches in spring 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

The more it's old-school, the better.



Old school? It looks like another generic shooter to me.

Doom 3 was amazing for its graphics back in the old days but it got boring quick, it never captured the feel of classic Doom.

Can't say im really excited for Doom 4, perhaps the multiplayer might save it.



We'll be the judge of that Bethesda!



Its the only fps I will be playing.

Pretty much how I feel. Doom 4 looks extremely generic in my eyes, and i'm a big fan of the older Doom titles.



I want to know exactly how this game is so different from other fps's.



it looks good honestly. it looks like the best single player FPS announced. while Battlefront looks like the best multiplayer one.



Hopefully it's going to be better than Doom 3! I like that game, but it was a bit underwhelming.
