News DOOM Eternal Mural Signals the Start of E3 2019 Season
Eternally DOOMED
E3 2019 is so close now we can almost taste the system wars and sleepless nights, but if you needed further evidence that the convention is right around the corner, look what’s happening to LA’s famous Figueroa Hotel. That’s right, it’s currently being covered in an enormous DOOM Eternal mural – well, it’s got to be...
News DOOM Eternal May Have a Choir of Heavy Metal Screamers
Bloody roar
DOOM Eternal’s soundtrack will potentially feature a choir of screamo singers, as composer Mick Gordon has put out a call for fans of Enter Shikari et al. While the musician doesn’t explicitly cite id’s upcoming sequel, it’s almost certain to be related to the Hellish shooter. “For this project, I don't want to record a regular...
News DOOM Eternal's Multiplayer Will Be Developed In-House
"You're gonna really enjoy it"
DOOM was one of 2016’s most beloved releases, but you rarely hear anyone mention its disappointing multiplayer mode. There was an opportunity with the reboot to bring back the old-school arena-based combat of old, but developer id Software farmed out the competitive mode to Certain Affinity and it just didn’t come...
News DOOM Eternal's Looking Hot As Hell in Huge Gameplay Reveal
Bloody hell

Hands On DOOM VFR Supports Three PSVR Controllers, But None Feel Quite Right
Hell in your hands
DOOM VFR is a very handsome game with PlayStation VR, a statement we’re noticing ourselves make more often as virtual reality titles mature. Bethesda’s also gone out of its way to support all three of Sony’s PSVR controllers: the DualShock 4, the PlayStation Move, and the (underused but outstanding) PlayStation VR Aim...
News Take a Virtual Tour of Hell with DOOM VFR Bundle for PSVR
Time to meet your DOOM
Sony’s flooding the market with new PlayStation VR bundles at the moment, and DOOM VFR is the latest title to get the pack-in treatment.

Hands On DOOM VFR Cleverly Keeps You on the Move in PlayStation VR
Welcome to your DOOM
DOOM is not a stop and pop shooter. In last year’s franchise reboot, developer id Software transformed the kinetic nature of the original games into a game mechanic, with Glory Kills forcing you to get up close and personal with your demonic adversaries in order to recover ammunition and health. It was a genius system, forcing...
News DOOM VFR Reloads with PlayStation VR Aim Controller Support
Hell yeah
It’s been rumoured for a little while, but DOOM VFR will have full PlayStation VR Aim Controller support. Sony’s likeable virtual reality accessory originally released with Farpoint, and gives you unprecedented control in first-person shooter games. Judging by a

Bethesda’s bringing some of its biggest brands to PlayStation VR – and you won’t have to wait long to test them out.

E3 2017 DOOM: VFR is Coming to PlayStation VR This Year
Take a guess what the F stands for
During Bethesda's E3 press conference, it highlighted two virtual reality titles it has in the works. DOOM: VFR is a made-for-VR game with the trademark lightning quick and bloody gameplay you know and love. Better yet is that it's heading for PlayStation VR later this year, as well as HTC Vive. Bethesda did also...
Game of the Year 2016 #8 - DOOM
Room for DOOM
Things could have gone badly wrong for DOOM. After a long development time, a severe lack of single player footage, and a complete absence of reviews on launch day, the title relied on word of mouth throughout its first week of availability. Is it any good? What's the campaign like? Has the multiplayer been improved since its beta?...
E3 2016 Go To Hell with New DOOM Multiplayer and Snapmap DLC
Forged through fire
While DOOM may stand well enough on its own legs with its formidable campaign, its multiplayer options are solid treats on the side to conduct your next demon-slaying forays. However, one thing that these additional modes lack in various ways is more variety, and thankfully id Software is appropriately addressing these concerns...
E3 2016 You Can Download DOOM's First Level on PS4 for Free
DOOM's day
Shareware was a big deal when DOOM first started out, so Bethesda's trying to bring back some of that love – by basically releasing a demo for the FPS on the PlayStation Store. The trial – which features the first level from the critically acclaimed campaign – is available on the PlayStation 4 right now, so give it a go if you want...
Leviticus 26:7
It wasn't until Wolfenstein: The New Order that we noticed how homogeneous first-person shooters have become over the past decade. The genre's certainly made strides forward, but from a big picture perspective, we've spent the past decade or so taking cover and performing pot-shots to reach our objectives. However, MachineGames'...
Video Should You Buy DOOM on PS4?
Hell's respawn
We've been to Hell and back – and all you're getting is this lousy DOOMvideo review. While reviewer Joey Thurmond is still busy thoroughly investigating every last crevice of the underworld, yours truly has returned from Hades with a tale to tell. Watch on as we walk you through id Software's unashamedly old-school FPS – and come...
Hands On Dispatching Demons in DOOM on PS4
\m/
DOOM wastes no time setting out its stall. There a pentagram, a pistol, and one of Satan's soldiers. Pew, pew – off we go. Extremely late review copies mean that we've only just managed to get our hands on id Software's key card collecting sim – but does this unashamedly old-school FPS make a strong first impression? We're about three or so...
News Here's What You Can Expect From DOOM's Action-Packed Single Player Campaign
No guts no glory
DOOM's out in just a couple of days on PlayStation 4, so it's nice of Bethesda to release some new gameplay footage while we sit here waiting for our review copy to arrive. Snark aside, we're hoping that the shooter's single player campaign is up to snuff, because what we've seen of it so far has looked promising. In the game's...
News Don't Expect DOOM PS4 Reviews Any Time Soon
Review code not being sent until launch
We're really looking forward to DOOM here at Push Square Towers, but if you're still sitting on the fence, then you may need to wait a little while for reviews. Bethesda has confirmed to IGN that it won't be sending out copies to critics ahead of release, because the title's online servers won't be switched on...
News DOOM's PS4 Launch Trailer Needs More Double Bass Pedal
Dub dub-dub-dub dub
Even as an avid Taylor Swift fan, this author readily admits that sometimes – just sometimes – one needs a little heavy metal in their life. This all-new DOOM launch trailer, with its squealing guitars and muddy basslines, is the perfect tonic to an afternoon spent listening to bittersweet bubblegum pop, then – but where's...
News DOOM PS4 Open Beta, Post-Release Plan Revealed
Should make the game a little beta
DOOM, the next iteration in the original FPS franchise, is getting an open beta from 15th April to 18th April, which will contain the Team Deathmatch and Warpath – a king-of-the-hill-type mode in which the target territory moves around in a circular pattern – modes as well as the Heatwave and Infernal maps...
News DOOM's Multiplayer Beta Boost Jumps to PS4 This Month
\m/
Pull on a Megadeath tee, throw us the horns, and prepare to head bang your way through some breakneck rounds of Team Deathmatch: the DOOM closed beta is coming soon to the PlayStation 4.

News Don't Like DOOM's Crap Box Art? You Can Vote for a Better Design
Blown away
So, DOOM's box art is shite. We've said it, you've probably said it, and the Internet seemed to ramble about the issue for days on end – but now, there's a beacon of hope. The official DOOM Twitter account wants you to vote on a reverse cover for the upcoming shooter, and there are two available options. Option A is a bit arty, but...
News DOOM Should Run Like a Bloody Dream on PS4
"The best-looking game at 1080p, 60fps"
Gotta love the team over at id Software, eh? The developer's lead project programmer, Billy Khan, has bigged up DOOM's engine ahead of its release in a few months, stating that it'll run at 60 frames per second in 1080p on PlayStation 4. "We want players to wonder how DOOM and idTech 6 games can be so...
News DOOM's Single Player Campaign Will Last You 13 Gory Hours
Better grab some ammo
We'd like to think that publisher Bethesda is on a roll with the shooters that it's got under its umbrella these days. Much like 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, it would appear that DOOM is going to provide a rather meaty single player experience. The news comes from the title's official Twitter account, where, in reply to...
News The Internet Reckons DOOM's PS4 Box Art Is Bad
And, for once, the Internet is right
In concept, DOOM couldn't possibly appeal less to this author's tastes. For starters, it's more heavy metal than the doodles on a teenage misfit's pencil case, but it's also one of those games where the shooting's only ever going to be the draw – we're not expecting anything in the way of story at all. Despite...
News DOOM Blows Away PS4 in May
Hell yeah
Better start stocking up on ammo, because DOOM finally has a confirmed release date. The new-gen shooter has looked great in the footage that we've seen of it so far, with chaotic, brutal battles against ugly, ugly enemies taking precedence over the usual bells and whistles that so many shooters get bogged down with these days. The...
News Your PS4 May Be DOOMed This Summer
Possible release date leaked
DOOM has had some decent hype behind it ever since it made its gameplay debut back at Bethesda's E3 2015 press conference, but things have been a little quiet over the last few months with regards to the shooter in general. Indeed, one thing that we're still missing is confirmed release date, but thanks to a possible...
News DOOM Ditches Campaign Co-Op on PS4
Shot down
Sorry expectant couch co-op fans, it sounds DOOM won't have any sort of campaign split-screen when it launches next year. Speaking to PC Gamer, Marty Stratton, the game's executive producer, said that while you'll be able to create your own co-op-esque levels thanks to the title's SnapMap feature, there won't be a more traditional option...
E3 2015 DOOM PS4 Deals Death to Demons in Spring 2016
Middle finger from Mars
Have we all recovered from Bethesda's laser-focused presser yet? Despite making its E3 2015 media briefing debut, the Zenimax-owned organisation knocked it out of the park with its presentation last night – and then proceeded to stamp awesome all over our faces. Fallout 4 may have been the highlight, but credit must go to...
E3 2015 DOOM Multiplayer Goes Old-School on PS4
Arena action
How do you reboot a franchise like DOOM? Well, you make it familiar – but amplify everything so it feels fresh again. The single player footage for id Software's first-person reboot literally left this author slack-jawed earlier today – and the multiplayer ain't looking half bad either. While the developer was a little less...
E3 2015 Hell Hath No Fury Like a DOOM Gameplay Reveal Trailer
Demon gore galore
It's no question that one of Bethesda's most anticipated titles for E3 2015 is the long-awaited, next installment in the DOOM franchise, so, naturally, it kicked off its conference with a bang by opening the gates of Hell with an impressive trailer showing just how much fun slaughtering demons will be on the PlayStation 4 in spring...
News We're So Glad the Cancelled DOOM 4 Ultimately Met Its Doom
Feel the RAGE
Let's get the Revenant in the room out of the way first: DOOM 4 is not the DOOM game that was teased during a brief trailer yesterday. The numbered sequel was in development at id Software prior to 2012, but was ultimately cancelled. And judging by this leaked footage of the scrapped release that's popped up on
News Here's Your First Look at DOOM on PS4
Guns! Monsters! More at E3!
It's finally that time of the year where publishers start dropping 10 second trailers and describing them as E3 2015 teasers. The long overdue DOOM is the first to get the blink-and-you'll-miss-it treatment, as we're entitled to a very brief look at a double-barrel shotgun and a beast from beyond. There's also some...
News Bethesda Won't Show Us PS4's New DOOM Game, So Here Are Some Second Hand Details
Way to inspire confidence
Behind closed door presentations are not uncommon in this industry, but they’re especially odd when fans are invited to them. One would assume that if a game is ready to be shown to the public – albeit a hardcore subset – then that footage should be uploaded to the web, but Bethesda has put a BFG to the head of anyone...
News We're Not Saying It's Doomed, but These DOOM Comments Don't Inspire Much Confidence
"Nobody will assume that this game is going to be awesome"
Bethesda has admitted that it needs to prove itself with the impending PlayStation 4 version of legendary first-person shooter DOOM, informing fans that it shouldn’t expect the sequel to be awesome based on the property’s past pedigree alone. Speaking with MCV, spokesperson Pete Hines...
