No es Doom 4, es "Doom"

Bethesda e id Software...

Después de hacer "borrón y cuenta nueva" 1000 veces, se dieron cuenta que no hay historia en Doom más allá de la de los años 90.

Y aquí estamos otra vez, cuatro juegos en una serie, y tres de esos cuatro son básicamente lo mismo.

Doom 4 is doom

Este DOOM corre en lo que id/Bethesda llama id tech 6 o 666 para los cuates que no maduran :P




A Lengthy Look At id Software's New Doom

Doom 4 Announced At Quakecon 2014, Runs On id Tech 6 Engine

Desde que id se volvió consolera, la verdad su destino dejo de interesarme, me gustaría estar entusiasmado, pero el juego saldrá para consolas, con las limitantes que eso acarrea.
