Doom (2016 video game): Difference between revisions

'''''Doom''''' (previously titled '''''Doom 4''''') is a reboot of the ''[[Doom]]'' series released worldwide for [[Microsoft Windows]], [[PlayStation 4]], and [[Xbox One]] on May 13, 2016. It is the third major game released by [[id Software]] and published by [[Bethesda Softworks]] since their acquisition by ZeniMax Media, following ''[[Rage (video game)|Rage]]'' and ''Doom 3: BFG Edition''. Early planning and development began in August 2007, and is still continuing with the release of patches, [[downloadable content]] packs, and planned updates. The game features a story detailing the invasion of the UAC Argent facility on [[Mars]] by the forces of [[Hell]].

The new Doom has been built on a successor to id Software's id Tech 5 game engine which id Software has dubbed id Tech 6. Gameplay-wise the game resembles the action-oriented nature of the classic ''[[Doom]]'' games much more than the horror style of ''Doom 3'', with a heavy emphasis on strong weapons, fast and agile player movement, and quickly paced encounters with large groups of foes. From a graphic and architectural point of view, its advanced designs are aesthetically closer to ''Doom 3'' in some regards, but with many deliberate nods to the original series, particularly with respect to its new enemy designs.
