E3 2019: Doom Eternal Is Assured This November

E3 2019: Doom Eternal Is Assured This November

, , , , , 0

The highlight of Bethesda’s E3 conference came toward the end, when a big chunk of gameplay from Doom Eternal was unveiled, as well as a release date and everything else a demon hunter might want to know. We’re used to dealing with monsters emerging from hell portals on space stations…but this time they’ve invaded Earth! Subsantially more bullets and much louder explosives will be needed to send them back. The locations will be more diverse this go-round, taking you all over the world. The dev team even mentioned “heaven” as a possible location. The battle mode, now called Doom Eternal, pits one Demon Slayer against two demons. Is two against one fair? The DS will be fully stocked and when you’ve got this much firepower, it’s more like it’s unbalanced on the other end. The demons will have special abilities they can use to stand a fighting chance. Then there is the Collector’s Edition, now available for preorder. For 200 bucks you get a Doom lore book, a lithograph, a

E3 2019: Commander Keen Is Coming Back, But…

E3 2019: Commander Keen Is Coming Back, But…

, , , , , , 0

Retro gaming fans got a BIG surprise from Bethesda this evening….and then their expressions quickly changed. Everyone has a “rage moment” at E3, and we don’t mean the good kind of rage. That point when a company announces news that not only disappoints, but smashes all your hopes. For me, it was finding out Microsoft had purchased Double Fine, making a Switch or PS4 release of Psychonauts 2 impossible. For a lot of others, it was the appearance of Commander Keen. Commander Keen is an iD Software creation that predates Doom by several years. He was a little kid with a laser gun who hopped around alien worlds, and his original DOS game popularized the concept of shareware. Many a youngster had a blast guiding Keen through his garish CGA-tinted universe, and the sudden appearance of a game by that name tonight made those now-grown-up fans jump up and holler. COMMANDER KEEN!?!?!??!?!?!?! Be still my heart pic.twitter.com/tr4xpr4iD6 — Blake Grundman (@GrundyTheMan) June 10, 2019 Then the rest of the trailer

iD Software Created A Super Mario Bros 3 DOS Port

iD Software Created A Super Mario Bros 3 DOS Port

, , , , , , , , 0

iD Software was one of the pioneering studios in video game history, virtually inventing the modern 3D shooter with Wolfenstein 3D and later Doom. But before that, they attempted to land the job of porting Super Mario Bros 3 to the PC. Nintendo had never actually asked anyone to port the beloved NES classic — then fairly new — to home computers, but iD figured if they made a functional port and showed it to Nintendo representatives, the company could be convinced to give the project their blessing. A new coding method had been created by one of the developers that allowed for scrolling in all directions, among other vital functions very few PC games had at the time. Nintendo turned down iD’s pitch, telling them they wished to keep Nintendo-developed titles on Nintendo platforms. But John Romero kept the prototype, and a few days ago he uploaded a video of the entire thing! iD’s Super Mario Bros. 3 is far from the entire game — just one level has

Bethesda Sought Advice From id Software For Fallout 4 Combat

With Fallout 4’s release coming ever closer, it seems that more and more information about the game is constantly being released to build up hype for one of the most anticipated games this year. The latest bit of news to come out of Bethesda might be one of the most significant aspects yet, as they have revealed that they have completely reworked their combat system for the upcoming RPG. Not only that, but they also got some help from another developer that is owned by Bethesda Softworks, id Software. Speaking in the video, the studio speaks about they have turned to the legendary developer of games such as Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake for advice on how to create well designed shooting mechanics and gunplay. It makes sense considering the simplistic approach taking in previous Fallout games and the fact that the Elder Scrolls has no firearms at all. This is sure to be good news to fans who have asked for more sophisticated gunplay in Fallout games. Hopefully, id Software
