Got excited until I saw Bethesda
Bethesda owns id Software. Any modern project involving Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, etc. Is gonna have their name behind it.
Got excited until you saw the company that owns Quake? Did you think this was going to be a WayForward joint or something?
Bethesda Softworks published Doom Eternal and it was amazing
do you like doom eternal? I dont like how you have to melee attack constantly to get more ammo. doom was a shoot em up and doom eternal feels like half a shoot em up where they make you use the fucking chainsaw a lot. I never liked melee combat in first person games
I actually really like it, yeah. It forces you to swap weapons constantly (because you have very low ammo) and stay extremely aggressive.
fair enough. that all makes sense, I guess I just kind of missed the original kind of gameplay in it
Why wouldn't the IP owners be involved? For what it's worth, ID has been under Bethesda for Doom 16, Eternal, the 1, 2 and 64 re-releases, the first Quake rerelease and all three of Machine Games Wolfensteins and they're all well regarded.
Bethesda owns ID these days
