Game Informer had a hands-on session with the upcoming release, and dropped a ton of knowledge and some screen captures from the game earlier this week.
They’ve put together a pretty elaborate list of features they were able to check out, including both solo and multiplayer, arena games and the game’s SnapMaps.
And, yes, there are updated — and awesome — looks to some of your favorite creatures and opponents from the classic Doom franchise.
“The Mancubus, while looking like a waddling wad of blubber, is one of the most dangerous foes we faced during our Doom play session. Wielding dual flamethrowers and having a knack for appearing just when you least want them to, Mancubus’ must be dealt with quickly,” Game Informer writes. “The only time Doom slows down for a second is when the player dives into the weapon wheel, which slows time to a crawl much like V.A.T.S. does in Fallout 4. This brief moment of respite gives a glimpse at the immediate threats ahead, but can break the combat rhythm you may have been rocking. To avoid breaking the flow, the player can hot swap between weapons by tapping right bumper and the wheel location of the desired weapon.”
