' Doom is about doing this, fighting demons, using awesome guns.
'We don't put story front and center at all,' id Software executive producer Marty Stratton said to IGN. But don't expect Doom to have a sweeping story line: this game is not an RPG. It's likely, though, that once the game comes out, speedrunners will accept that challenge and someone will manage gameplay with that setting in record time by exploiting certain features of the game.įor now, though, the Ultra-Nightmare setting remains unbeatable, although id Software told IGN that its employees are in a competition with each other to see who gets the furthest in the game on that setting.ĭoom's multiplayer feature recently got mixed reviews after the beta, so the company now plans on focusing a little more on the game's single-player mode. That's probably because anyone playing in Ultra-Nightmare mode goes back to the very beginning of the game if they die, with nothing to show for any progress made up to that point.
