Id Software Hopes To Break Up The Monotonous Gameplay Of Doom With Eternal S Platforming Sections

“What was a monotonous arena-hallway-arena-hallway, we now get to break up with these fun platforming-type puzzles,” exec producer Marty Stratton told VG247 at a recent hands-on event. “We don’t overdo it; they’re all fairly simple but it breaks up the gameplay enough that I think it keeps, in combination with everything else, the tighter mechanics, the visuals, it keeps players engaged.” Doom Eternal has added new moves to the Doom Slayer’s repertoire, so platforming isn’t restricted to sketchy jumps and sudden death drops - player’s respawn if they fall into the void....

It Looks Like We Re Getting A Final Fantasy 14 Cookbook Later This Year

Thanks to the eagle eyes of Wario64 on Twitter (via Siliconera), we’ve had an early peek at an as-yet-unannounced Final Fantasy 14 cookbook. The Simon & Schuster listing is still live, though it’s been altered from Wario64’s initial screenshot and now simply refers to a “licensed video game cookbook” instead of a Final Fantasy 14 one, specifically. As per Wario64’s screenshots, the book will include a foreword written by game director Naoki Yoshida, and it’ll retail for roughly $35 (which is about right for other gaming-themed cookbooks we’ve seen launch to date)....

It S 2022 And I Hate How Much Fun I M Having With Fortnite

The company moved so quickly, in fact, it caught the ire of PUBG’s developer, who took it to court for blatantly ripping off its ideas. It wasn’t an accident, either; Epic Games directly cited PUBG as the core inspiration behind its then-nascent experiment. Game concepts aren’t proprietary, of course, so that lawsuit was never going to go anywhere. Setting aside the argument at the core of the dispute, Fortnite Battle Royale just wasn’t all that interesting back then....
