The beauty, gore and violence that this generation has meticulously crafted is set to end. The launch of Nintendo’s next generation machine, the Wii U, is going to set the marker for the next-generation console war, a source close to us says.
The industry is waiting with bated breath for the slew of games that are being developed in secret for these next generation mean machines. We saw a few of these being demoed at E3 2012, most of which went on to win major accolades from numerous gaming sites.
In line with this hype machine, we have come across some red hot news about one such game that may piqué the interest of gaming fans across the world. This is about a game that once defined the essence of first person shooters – Doom.
Many believed that Doom 4 was cancelled after being announced way back in 2008. But a source tells us that the game is in development for next generation machines and looks stunning. The more interesting bit is that this game is set to be a launch title for one of the consoles.
The Rage team has fully moved to the development of the title now and construction of this game is allegedly fully underway. Our source also reveals that audiences can expect to see a full-blown showcase of the game by early 2013.
The original Doom was a definitive game for the industry and gamers alike, but as years passed by, the mantle and the definition of first person shooters have left the Doom franchise behind. Can this early next generation launch game be the definitive starting point of an icon in gaming history once again? This is something time will have to tell.
