Today’s Eternal clone is actually the most similar feeling to me and also the one I think could benefit the most from branching out. Adding advanced mobility options like a dash move or grappling hook, an industrial metal soundtrack, weapon quick swapping, resource management optionality for risky attacks, and all that does not make your game interesting by default and may just make it seem like you’re adding very little to Doom Eternal’s exact formula, but I can’t fault games like Ultrakill, Shadow Warrior 3, Turbo Overkill, Deadlink, Fashion Police, Metal Hellsinger, Project Warlock 2, Postal: Brain Damaged for moving in this direction and they have flourish of their own that should be lauded. Now I can’t say I’m angry that they’re copying a great game, but these copies do tend to run together, don’t they, despite being very polished. Many indie developers picked up on this cliche and ran with it, creating a host of Doom Eternal clones. Neener neener!Įternal was just incredibly fun and beautiful and deep and polished and well balanced and had a heavy metal vibe all its own that has become its own cliché. But Doom Eternal coming out the same month was quite therapeutic for those us who were often content to stay in our rooms anyway and fritter away our lives having more fun than most other people. March 2020 was a tough time in the US as it marked when lockdowns happened and people were sent home to work.
Just like DOOM revolutionized gaming in 1993, so too has Doom Eternal in 2020. It's also included in the Xbox Game Pass for PC right now.Even as someone who’s dedicated the last two years to understanding the history of video games and how much we owe our forebears, it’s still surprising to realize you’ve just lived through a historical milestone that will probably influence generations to come. You can spot Prodeus's early access version over on Steam if you're keen. It's neat to see them showing off what all those folks have been busy making throughout early access.
PRODEUS CEMO UPDATE
Prodeus's level editor certainly looks to be one of its big draws, because really who doesn't like a good custom map? Bounding Box made a decent sized update to the level editor back in April including a structures and prefabs browser for the workshop and user profiles to help follow your favorite mappers. Bounding Box are letting players in on private co-op testing through their Discord server in a couple weeks, they say, which is also when the next game update is arriving. They don't go into details, or say how many players co-op will support, but the trailer appears to show off just two. Two miniguns are better than one, after all. Catch all that on show here in the new trailer.Īt the 1:50 mark you can catch a look at that co-op, and your protagonist's space-y face.
PRODEUS CEMO FULL
If you'd not followed along with Prodeus, Bounding Box describe it as "a first-person shooter of old, re-imagined using modern rendering techniques." It sure is exactly what it says there on the tin, including a campaign mode full of baddies to shoot.
You can spot all that and some player-made maps they've shown off, in a new trailer full of gore and metal music. They also gave a look at the rather bloody main character.
PRODEUS CEMO SOFTWARE
Yup, Bounding Box Software showed up at the Realms Deep shoot 'em ups showcase over the weekend to announce they'll be adding co-op. Retro-inspired shooter Prodeus has been blasting its way through early access since November and is about to get a helping hand.
