New DOOM gameplay video blows away E3 attendees

ID and Bethesda's DOOM (Doom 4) was shown off at E3 yesterday to rousing applause. Keeping a lot of the killer elements of Doom 3 (fast pace, maximum carnage, a vast arsenal of weapons plus a bottomless pit of demons to kill), the new DOOM looks and sounds simply outstanding. Aiming for a 2016 release, DOOM takes place on Mars where a huge demon infestation is taking place. The game is famous for first-person singleplayer mode, in addition to multiple multiplayer modes which include traditional four-player deathmatch, domination, freeze tag, and clan arena.

DOOM will be released on Microsoft WindowsPlayStation 4, and Xbox One. The project has been in development since 2011 and is the first Doom release since 2004.
