Health bonuses take the shape of the original blue flasks, and some weapon models, such as the plasma rifle, clearly kept the old-school designs much closer in mind this time around. Even the Cyberdemon went through a sort of throwback glow up, looking uncannily similar to his original sprite mo

And speaking of the Super Shotgun, the weapon's new grappling hook is a godsend. The Super Shotgun was already my favorite weapon to use in DOOM but being able to now quickly fly between enemies with the grappling device just feels phenomenal. I haven't seen all of the weapons and additions that each will have in DOOM Eternal , but the grappling hook for the Super Shotgun is a game-changer. I look forward to blasting hundreds of demons apart with it in the final prod

I've already seen some people expressing concerns about more platforming being implemented in DOOM Eternal but I don't think there's anything to be nervous about. If anything, the only reason I didn't love these brief platforming areas was because they seemed to break up the flow of combat a bit. The actual movement felt really precise and f

The second of two Smash Bros DLC reveals, this one came at near the end of Nintendo's E3 2019 presentation. It smartly reused King K. Rool's reveal trailer, this time putting the King inside of Donkey Kong's house with Diddy. The trailer played out similarly with the Duck Hunt Dog trolling the group until Banjo and Kazooie finally showed up and revealed their inclusion at long last. For many fans, it was also a cool moment to see King K. Rool, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Banjo, and Kazooie all together once again considering their shared history under the development studio R

Doom by its very nature is a wild and crazy experience, yet has a lot of thought behind the madness. id prides itself on giving players bombastic tools and putting them in crazy arenas, but they also take pride in crafting thoughtful encounters. Sometimes, to accomplish this, they need to show some restraint

Assassin's Creed Odyssey was part of the Project Stream tests that Google ran last year and the game was front and center again during the Google Stadia announcement at GDC . Google has been working closely with Ubisoft and during the presentation, viewers could see how a Stadia user could seamlessly transition between playing Assassin's Creed Odyssey on a laptop, a PC, a tablet, and a television. The game looked crisp and ran smoothly on each of the devi

Arguably Microsoft's biggest game, Halo: Infinite , was back at E3 this year, getting a featured spot at the very end of its annual press conference. This year's footage was more story-centric, revealing an unnamed UNSC pilot discovering Master Chief floating in space. After reviving the iconic hero, a mysterious yellow lightning strikes the USNC Pelican, prompting Master Chief to grab a gun and jump out of the ship. For fans wanting more, Microsoft is essentially putting Halo Infinite back on ice until E3 2020 ahead of its holiday 2020 launch on Project Scarl

So just how did those development wizards over at id seemingly make DOOM Eternal so much better than what came before it? To me, it's the game's speed. While 2016's DOOM was a fast game already, Eternal ramps things up even further. Enemies fill up the screen in droves much more than the last game and they are much more aggressive. As Doom Eternal lore|https://doometernalplay.com/ taught us a few years ago, the best way to succeed is to be that much more aggressive than your foes, meaning that here in Eternal , you have to be even more proactive and deadly than ever bef

At the beginning of the Square Enix E3 2019 presentation, fans received an extended look at the highly anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Remake . A lengthy trailer also provided another glimpse at the game including the new combat mechanics , boss battles, and previously unrevealed characters like Tifa Lockhart and Sephiroth. Midgar was also featured heavily in the footage, including some sweeping wide shots that seem to hint the city will play a bigger role in the story this time aro

One of the most interesting Google Stadia features is something called State Share which allows players to share and link to moments of a game. Q-Games, the development team behind the PixelJunk series as well as The Tomorrow Children and Star Fox 64 3D , intends to make full use of it with its next g

Among which are the Arachnotron, a miniaturized version of the Spider Mastermind armed with a plasma cannon, and what would appear to be Eternal 's take on the Nightmare Imps, more dangerous and agile versions of their more common, less nightmarish counterpa

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is the only Ubisoft game confirmed to work with Google Stadia at this point. However, the two companies share a close working relationship. Former Ubisoft executive Jade Raymond is now a VP at Google , heading up the Stadia game development division, so there is a path for them to work together on more games
