id SoftwareThe creators of the upcoming Doom: The Dark Ages, Game Director Hugo Martin and Producer Marty Stratton, recently discussed the games weapons and how they differ from the armory of the previous franchise installments.One of the most noticeable guns shown in the trailers and in-game shots is the one with a recognizable design featuring a skull. Director Hugo Martin commented on its creation and explained its features (via PC Gamer): That gun started out as the Bonecrusher, and then I think, through conceptual development, became the Skullcrusher. It does exactly what you think it does. Its kind of a spread minigun that you could also turn into a long-range minigun.The Director compared the new weapon to a classic chain gun. However, it works at a smaller distance than the previous ones at the games disposal but at the same time, features an enhanced rate of fire and movement speed boost: Youll get a speed boost, and the rate of fire will increase, Hugo Martin said. So it gives you an advantage with movement, but you need it because its not very long range.Martin recalled the famous ED-209 scene from the Robocop movie and said that with the falters, the incredible animations, the physics, the sound design, the blood squibs the developers created the gore system reminiscent of the said movie scene:At this point, its destructible demons version three, from 2016 to Eternal to now. Weve got, Id like to think, the best gore in the industry. Our gore system is really where we spend a lot of money.id SoftwareThe developers also shared the games armory will feature many brand-new guns, with only a few unchanged: I think only the shotguns are the same, Hugo Martin said. He stated that the developers created entirely new features for the newly introduced weapons: We started every gun from scratch. Apart from the Skullcrusher, Doom: The Dark Ages will feature shotgun, super shotgun, the Railspike, Rocket Launcher, and the Accelerator.Before, Hugo Martin compared the combat systems of the new installment and the original game. Also, apart from reimagining elements of the classic games, the new title will feature enhanced visuals, including support for multi-frame generation from DLSS 4, ray reconstruction, and path tracing.During the Xbox Developer Direct, Microsoft announced the games release date: it will launch in May.Dont forget to join our 80 Level Talent platform and our new Discord server, follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Telegram, TikTok, and Threads, where we share breakdowns, the latest news, awesome artworks, and more.Source link The post Doom: The Dark Ages Armory Will Feature New Guns Made From Scratch appeared first on CG SHARES.
