Kicking off this evening’s Xbox showcase, we got a look at Doom: The Dark Ages, and oh my days, it looks awesome.
“Before he became a hero,” the video begins, “he was the super weapon of gods and kings.” And what a super weapon he was. But, don’t let me tell you. You can check out Doom: The Dark Ages’ reveal trailer for yourself below.
Doom: The Dark Ages will serve as a prequel to 2016’s Doom and Doom Eternal. It is described as a single-player action FPS that “tells the epic cinematic origin story of the Doom Slayer’s rage”, and of course, it is being developed by id Software.
Prequels suck ass
You and me, man. Prequels are what they do when they’ve given someone a satisfying conclusion but still want more of him/her in media.
Or, in the case of Black Widow, an unsatisfying conclusion. Don’t forget, you don’t get to surprise kill any connected characters.
Yeah, new character introduced that isn’t in the main series? Well they’re either irrelevant or dead.
I guess going back a few thousand years could be more interesting. But even then…
