Doom

 
Get over 30 years of FPS game history for less than $30 right nowMar 14, 2024 - PCGamesNThere are very few games with the attitude, ferocity, and sheer power of the original Doom. Though some, like Hotline Miami and Devil Daggers, carry the id Software classic's snotty, ultraviolent spirit forward in tone - and throwback shooters like Warhammer 40K: Boltgun or Prodeus channel aspects of its design - the best way to experience what Doom's all about is by, well, just going back and playing Doom and its sequels. Fortunately, doing so is very cheap right now. As part of Steam's 2024 Spring Sale, you can pick up every game in the series and their expansions for less than $30 USD. Read the rest of the story...

Called emptyvessel, the studio is focused on "immersive shooters," which brings to mind the likes of the Wolfenstein reboots, Doom 2016, Deus Ex, and Prey.

Is there anything that can't run Doom at this point? Is there anything that isn't running it as we speak? I'm beginning to detect the E1M1 music at the edge of my hearing as I go about my business, catching glimpses of cacodemons out the corner of my eye. Am I running Doom? Are you?..

The latest delightfully weird device rising to the eternal question "Can it run Doom?" is a WiFi-enabled 'smart toothbrush', which is juuust powerful enough to run a version of Doom. You can even control it with your mouse. Here, check this out.

Yep, we really did just say that. We're not talking about an eccentric bedroom project here - Doom is going to officially run on these lawnmowers. Read the rest of the story...

How about a lawn mower?Feb 25, 2024 - VG247In the eternal quest to put Doom on literally everything ever, it is now possible to play Doom on a… lawn more? There are truly a lot of ridiculous ways you can play Doom. Classics include things like fridges and calculators, but there are more obscure ways like the note taking app Notepad, a Lego brick, and possibly worst of all, given the current state of the social media website, Twitter. But, as revealed by electric gardening tools manufacturer Husqvarna earlier this week, there's a new weird way to play Doom on the way, and it's through the company's Automower Nera line of lawn mowers. "Get ready to rip, shear, mow and tear as DOOM is back!" reads the description of the lawn mower's update trailer. "This April, we’re making the legendary game playable on our robotic mowers as a tribute to 30 years of mowing down demons. The update is available for the Husqvarna Automower Nera product range." According to Husqvarna's website, "the decision to release the game to product owners follows the amazing response DOOM x Husqvarna robotic lawnmowers had at the gaming event DreamHack Winter 2023." It's important to note though that this is only a temporary thing, as the update will only be available from April 9 to September 9. So if you're one of the presumably small number of people that owns one of these lawn mowers and would actually want to play Doom on it, make sure you do so as soon as the update's out. Read more The next weird device to run Doom? Your lawnmowerFeb 23, 2024 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunWhen dramatic parents panicked over the satanic influence of Doom in the 90s, maybe they had a point. Doom has burned through people's souls and minds, filling them with a desire to play Id Software's seminal shooter on every device they can. The question "Can it run Doom?" has driven these demonic vassals to make it playable on everything from tractors to teletext. These hellbound hearts are even daring to corrupt the totemic device of American liberty: the lawnmower. Come April, you will be able to play Doom on the Husqvarna Nera line of robotic automowers. Is nothing sacred? Read more Doom, the greatest FPS game ever, just got even better and even biggerFeb 12, 2024 - PCGamesNI've said it before and I'll say it again. The original 1993 Doom represents not just an epochal event in the history of videogames, but a watershed moment for all culture, of all kinds, everywhere. The team at id Software created undoubtedly the greatest FPS in history. Whether Half-Life, Halo, Counter-Strike, or anything else, it doesn't matter what came later - they all owe a debt of inspiration to the original demon-ripping epic. More than 30 years since it first arrived, and thousands of mods and WADs later, you wouldn't think Doom could ever get better. But now Brutal Doom, the revolutionary reimagining of the 1993 classic, which John Romero says would have "destroyed the game industry" had it launched back in the day, has its biggest update ever. Doom has never been this much of a blast. Read the rest of the story...

Ideas dropped during development include a big focus on story, four playable characters, elemental shields, demonic weapons, and more. The mod Doom Delta brings to life many such ideas from sources including an old design document and leaked alpha builds, which I think makes it fanfic? A new version of Doom Delta launched last week, offering a curious vision of the many Dooms Id didn't make.

Forget just videogames - id Software's 1993 FPS is a landmark moment in the history of contemporary culture. Half-Life, Quake, FEAR, Halo, Call of Duty, and myriad others may all owe various influences to Doom, but more broadly speaking, this is one of the games that pioneered and galvanized the entire medium. You take Doom out of the equation, and all the other areas of modern culture that games touch and interface with, would not be the same. But it could have been very different. The Phobos base, Cacodemons, and BFG-9000 that we all know and love once existed in a very different state. You might have heard about the abandoned, prototype versions of Doom. Now, they're restored, combined, and fully playable. This is Doom as it exists in an alternate dimension. Read the rest of the story...
