Doom Reboot Won't Focus On Story And I'm Okay With That

Cinelinx: "According to a recent interview with Game Informer, Executive Producer Martin Stratton talked a bit about where the game will go story wise. To break things down rather bluntly he notes that the game focuses primarily on action and gameplay, then the story is secondary to all of that. We discuss why that is entirely okay with us!"

I love having a story in games, and am generally bummed when it's not the big focus. But Doom's story has always (For the most part) been intentionally sparse, with just enough to get you to the next level of killing monsters.

So it's kind of going back to basics, but I hope that doesn't keep it from being fun.

The more I see on it. The more it reminds me of the first.

gangsta_red3046d ago

No story needed. A door from hell has been opened, you're a marine with a shotgun. It pretty much writes itself!

Ark_3045d ago

That made me laugh ...
Doom 1/2 = Good childhood memories.

Voids3046d ago

Thank you.

Doom will and has always been about just straight murdering demons in hell and to get to the next level.

To expand on that, is fucking retarded because the purpose of doom is to just frag the living shit out of things that don't exist in real life - and having fun doing so.

Three games that should be heavily protected from being messed with, Unreal Tournament, Quake and Doom. These franchises should always be mindless shooters with glorious graphics and explosions, along with the possibility of being turned into an arena shooter, because eSportz (with a z)

This game will be murdered on theses comments once released because of its story. Halo 5 is a prime example. If not then people hold double standards.

DarkOcelet3046d ago

Halo is known for its story.

Doom, not so much. I dont recall anyone playing Doom for the story.

Khaotic3046d ago

Halo 1 was story. The only thing anybody remembers about 2 or 3 or reach is how good the mp was. The only thing people remember about 4 is how bad the mp is so thats BS

Dark_Crow3046d ago

Halo 5 is the first halo game I have seen get so much hell for story. None of the past halos have been known for their story and yet everyone and their mother focused on the story in this one.

Doom doesn't need story.

annoyedgamer3046d ago

Halo has a lore that puts other games to shame and Halo 4 and 5 are an embarrassment to the name.

Doom on the other hand does not need a story to succeed. I did like Doom 3's horror story though.

Khaotic3046d ago

Yes and most of that lore was from books, not the games. And they are far from embarresments. Your dramatic hate is laughable

TwoForce3046d ago

Killing demon is always be my pleasure.

Samus is on the list. Personally I'd swap the Space Marines with either Grey Fox from MGS or the COG armor from Gears of War.

NecrumOddBoy382d ago

You’re right. Hiding at the bottom so I missed it

REDGUM382d ago

There's no Dead Space listed in here, WTF!

Sciurus_vulgaris382d ago (Edited 382d ago )

I’d take the Space Marine power armour off the list due to it not originating in a video game.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Immagaiden390d ago

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar389d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

ModsDoBetter389d ago

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313389d ago (Edited 389d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981389d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman389d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.

I don't understand the hate Doom 3 got, but the original has to be tops for me too.
