The fourth part of the legendary series of Doom was released on all platforms. Here the blood flows like water, the demons climb from all cracks and Mars and the underworld equally beautiful. “Ribbon.<url>” talks about the restart of the series of the father of all shooters and invites readers to go quickly to hell.
“Tear them to shreds, until you destroy all”
Chained to the improvised altar (actually a sarcophagus) the main character is spitting at the ceiling in anticipation of the sacrifice. His thoughts about the eternal interrupts the fallen man with naughty intentions. Like all, but no, the protagonist destroys the foe quickly enough gun from the floor and multiplies to zero a few “former people”. In a festive atmosphere — all around Laden with candles and dotted with satanic symbols — the computer informs about the beginning of the invasion of demons, the hero is dressed in Praetorian armor and sets off to reclaim Mars from demons.
So Doom 4 starts, over the past eight years, has become just DOOM, publicly stating that the era of “corridor shooters” has not yet ended. And if Doom 3 now distant in the autumn of 2004 was a serious competitor in the face of Half-Life 2, the fourth reincarnation of the founder of the shooters proved to be quite timely: among the competitors in the genre will appear, except that Homefront: The Revolution.
By itself, the new Doom, as strange as it may sound, reminiscent of the first part of the series — especially with the rate of passage and scale of violence. Although there is no — the last parameter of DOOM can be put on a par with the modification of Brutal Doom, with its waterfalls of blood. A new game added “the brutal murder” — just press the button and the demon will be severely and effectively destroyed with guts, blood, severed limbs. Besides, “break the jaws” of the demon means to restore health to the player.
When a player is a chainsaw, the process of killing demons and former humans becomes even more fun, and when it comes to the legendary BFG… Well, you understand. By the way, the design of the legendary Big Fucking Gun also reminds me of the first part, but not the third. Yes, and the gun itself calibrated so that it fully corresponds to its name.
Claims to the chart in the new DOOM simply does not. On the engine, id Tech 6 looks great in all locations — from the corridors of the base to the Martian surface and the depths of hell. The monsters look pretty creepy, but each of them beautiful in its own way. For example, a favorite of the Russian gamers of cacodemon. Separately want to mention the optimization — DOOM equally good and fast (if properly configured) on the powerful and not so powerful machines. Version for the PlayStation 4, which the staff “of the Tape.ru also managed to play no less beautiful.
Back to basics was also evident in the gameplay: if the third Doom was trying to scare the dark, and at times was quite slow, now the game can be described by the word “drive”. Demons climb from all cracks around all explodes, and the player runs and destroys everything that moves is a real dance of death. Enemies now do hordes, especially on the exposed locations. And almost every of them (except for the very weak, who take a number) need to find its own approach. Ways to deal with them very much, and each of them gorgeous and bloody.
Reload is no longer necessary — from each barrel can and should shoot to the last bullet. In addition, the weapon can be modified, but if you don’t want to be distracted, the game is quite real to pass, scoring on the plot and other Goodies.
You can go somewhere for 16 hours. However, it is quite regurarely: mocking the developers offer several difficulty levels, the last of which will make a walk on the backstreets of hell is comparable to the battle of DiCaprio with a bear in “the Survivors”. Here only this battle will be repeated from time to time, forcing the player to think about how to mow another Horde of demons and not be killed. In addition, DOOM is quite a good story, and if you do disclose all of its secrets and intricacies, the game can be stretched to 25 hours.
Finally, don’t forget about the Easter eggs, which is famous for the entire series. Inquisitive players have already found references to the second “Terminator” series The Elder Scrolls (stone in the garden now colleagues of Bethesda) and the first Doom. Certainly Easter eggs even more.
Two for the price of one
One of the main advantages of the new DOOM is definitely absolutely become a storm multiplayer. The developers specifically did not imitate Call of Duty with its various multiplayer modes and has been farmed out to players of the classic team conflict. The game itself on first glance is much simpler: run and double jump is enabled by default, and all participants at the beginning of the round will be awarded for the specific subject. — hand-grenade or a teleporter. In addition, you can choose two guns like dvuhstvolki or plazmogana, and more powerful guns generously scattered around the map.
But despite the seeming simplicity of the gameplay does not give relax for a second. First, all maps can be very difficult. It doesn’t matter whether the players are fighting in hell or on the space plant, around will be a lot of vertical ridges and narrow corridors. You have to constantly scramble and jump from platform to platform, otherwise you can instantly get shot or die in the boiling lava at the bottom, thus exposing his team and being branded a dud. In this multiplayer merciless to young people who are accustomed to automatic restoration of health. Here is all of hardcore: swiftly jump down from the platform, on the run shot clip into a crowd of enemies and then frantically hiding and pick up the kit, because the opponents return fire managed to knock off from 90 percent of lives.
Best local multiplayer mode characterized by the phrase “movement is life”. Fans sit in the dark with a sniper rifle then quickly and washed down with a bloody chainsaw or melee effectively soaked. But active players that’s trained in classic Quake, as a bonus may become revenants — an enormous flying skeletons with two machine guns behind him. If someone comes in a special rune and turns into a huge demon, then his allies can easily collect dozens of kills, and blood and chunks of bodies naturally cover all the space around. Kill soaring skyward on the jet pack deadly demon is possible only by the efforts of several players, so the only weapon against him is teamwork.
