Developers id Software, Nerve, Panic Button, and publisher Bethesda Softworks have made available the DOOM Slayers Collection on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The DOOM Slayers Collection takes players through more than two decades of demon slaying, providing access to the classic games that popularized the first-person shooter genre and the fan-favorite franchise reboot.
The Evolution of DOOM
The DOOM series has been a cornerstone of the first-person shooter genre since its inception. The original DOOM, released in 1993, revolutionized gaming with its fast-paced action, 3D graphics, and networked multiplayer gameplay. It set the standard for future shooters and introduced players to the iconic space marine battling demonic forces from Hell. DOOM II, released in 1994, expanded on the original with new weapons, enemies, and levels, solidifying the franchise’s place in gaming history.
DOOM 3, released in 2004, took a different approach with a focus on horror elements and a more immersive storyline. It utilized advanced graphics technology of its time to create a terrifying atmosphere, bringing the demonic invasion to life in a way that had never been seen before. The game was praised for its graphics, sound design, and intense gameplay.
Modern Reboot and Continued Legacy
The 2016 reboot, simply titled DOOM, brought the series back to its roots with a focus on fast-paced, brutal combat. It was lauded for its fluid movement, satisfying gunplay, and faithful adherence to the spirit of the original games. DOOM (2016) was awarded Action Game of the Year and is considered one of the best first-person shooters of its generation.
Arm yourself with powerful weapons as you battle demon hordes on Mars, on Earth, and across Hell in four DOOM games: DOOM, DOOM II, DOOM 3, and 2016’s Action Game of the Year, DOOM (2016). Each game in the collection offers a unique experience, from the pixelated corridors of the original to the high-definition carnage of the reboot. The collection provides a comprehensive look at the evolution of the series and the enduring appeal of its gameplay.
