fWotD Episode 2565: Doom (2016 video game) Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Monday, 13 May 2024 is Doom (2016 video game).Doom is a 2016 first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Bethesda Softworks. The game is the first major installment in the Doom series since 2004's Doom 3 and was a reboot of the franchise. It was released for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One in May 2016. A port for Nintendo Switch was co-developed with Panic Button and released in November 2017, and a version for Google Stadia was released in August 2020. Players take the role of an unnamed space marine, known as the "Doom Slayer", as he battles demonic forces within an energy-mining facility on Mars and in Hell.Doom was announced as Doom 4 in 2008, and that version underwent an extensive development cycle with different builds and designs before the game was restarted in 2011 and revealed as simply Doom in 2014. It was tested by customers who pre-ordered the 2014 MachineGames game Wolfenstein: The New Order and the general public. Mick Gordon composed the music, with contributions by Richard Devine. The game also has an online multiplayer component and a level editor known as "SnapMap", co-developed with Certain Affinity and Escalation Studios respectively.Doom was well received by critics and players. The single-player campaign, graphics, soundtrack, and gameplay received considerable praise, whereas the multiplayer mode drew significant criticism. It was the second best-selling video game in North America and the UK in the week of its release and sold over 500,000 copies for PCs by the end of May 2016. A sequel, Doom Eternal, was released in March 2020.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 05:56 UTC on Friday, 17 May 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Doom (2016 video game) on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Joey Standard.

t's quiet... Too quiet. Indeed, we've found ourselves in the "pre-showcase lull" for Xbox. Still, we have some big news to sift through. For starters, independent developers have thrived during the era of Xbox Game Pass thanks to massive bags being handed out for day one access which compliments the lower budgets of these titles. According to prominent indie developers, that gold rush is over. The Dukes dive into the future of Xbox Game Pass. If the way Xbox sells games is changing and the layoffs that have occurred all circle around the sustainability of the business, then there's no reality where Game Pass gets out unscathed. So, what are they changing, how do indies factor in, and what does it accomplish? Speaking of indies, it would see that Hollow Knight Silksong is finally on the way. When will this massive game land for Xbox and is it sooner than we expect? Plus, more on the questionable state of Final Fantasy 14, the future of KOTOR Remake, Dragon's Dogma 2's success, and so much more!

After a week that saw some big releases and exciting announcements, we have a week of interesting announcements, and more layoffs, Gearbox is free from Embracer Group, and Phil Spencer has a big interview talking about Xbox. Sean and Marc discuss it all in this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX. Phil Spencer had an interview with Polygon while at the Game Developer's Conference (links further below in the description) where he speaks about all sorts of things including wanting PC storefronts like Epic Games and Itch.io on Xbox, the cost prohibition of exclusives, a potential Xbox handheld, and more! Could this be a potential lifespring for Xbox? Or is this all essentially wish-listing from Phil? Marvel Rivals was suddenly announced and seems to take a lot of its inspiration from Overwatch. With Overwatch 2 in a bad spot, could a game from a big IP like Marvel overtake it and become the Defacto hero shooter? Also, Gearbox is sold to Take-Two Interactive, Resident Evil 9 could be open-world, layoffs at several SEGA European studios, and other places such as Nintendo of America and Certain Affinity.

Seeing claims of the Halo Battle Royale cancelled was not what I wanted to see. I was hoping for a Halo Unreal Engine 5 reboot to launch alongside what Certain Affinity was building. Currently Halo Infinite is doing better, but I can't see it ever making the comeback it needs. While we wait for Halo Infinite Season 6 this certainly comes as unwelcome Halo news because it may change the future of the franchise. Will we even see a Halo Infinite Battle Royale or a new Halo game in the future? Halo is a military science fiction media franchise, originally created and developed by Bungie and currently managed and developed by 343 Industries, part of Microsoft's Xbox Game Studios. The series launched in 2001 with the first-person shooter video game Halo: Combat Evolved and its tie-in novel, The Fall of Reach.

The latest Halo Infinite news is now 343 Industries responds to the stories about them being removed. 343 removed from Halo was something many of us thought was coming, but apparently it isn't happening. Who is telling the truth? As the Halo developers they took to twitter to announce that Halo Infinite is here to stay despite rumors that Halo Infinite DLC was scrapped and that active development would be handed to companies like Certain Affinity. Their announcement does not necessarily push against that narrative and is quite generic and vague. Halo Infinite is a 2021 first-person shooter game developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Game Studios. It is the sixth mainline entry in the Halo series, following Halo 5: Guardians.

Halo Infinite has struggled mightily out the gate to supply content post launch, but with Certain Affinity joining the crew at 343 in official capacity; things may now finally start heading in the other direction. Certain Affinity has appeared in a multitude of Xbox related reports as they are not only working on Halo, but also chipping away on an exclusive Monster Hunter styled game. Indeed, this 'support studio' is more than what meets the eye. Over in unreality or whatever it is, Kingdom Hearts 4 is announced. There are parallels to Final Fantasy Versus XIII, a more realistic Sora, grappling hooks, Star Wars, and much more. Yes, it's a Tetsuya Nomura game. It's a week worthy of celebration for weebs far and wide as beyond Kingdom Hearts there is renowned Shonen Jump publisher Shueisha who has entered the game space. That plus major legal developments in the case between Activision/California, May's day one Game Pass lineup, the boneless chicken wing saga, and even education on store brand goods make for one of our most varied DDs to date.

Halo Infinite no update is not the news that players wanted to hear, and clearly something is wrong. The Halo Infinite news that they won't be able to update the community about the co-op campaign or forge is disappointing many. Even the ongoing problems with Halo Infinite btb is a sign that adjustments cannot be made quickly. The recent pushed out Halo Infinite store items update seemingly made things better, but was also very limited into what they could do. News about Halo Infinite Invasion 2.0 being developed by Certain Affinity has folks worried about the Battle Royale mode. And the recent Joseph Staten tweet certainly didn't build confidence.

Hallo Freunde fürs Extraleben! Nach einer Woche Partyatmosphäre mit Marco sind wir diese Woche wieder als Duo unterwegs. Manuel und Daniel sinnieren zu Beginn erstmal über den Sinn und den Umfang von Streamingservices im Kontext von Gamepass und Preiserhöhungen (DAZN). Wie üblich gehen wir danach auf unsere aktuellen Spiele ein. Dies ist diese Episode sehr From Software-lastig und das obwohl Elden Ring noch nicht mal raus ist! Manuel hat aber nach wie vor nichts besseres zu spielen als zwischen allen Dark Souls-Teilen zu wechseln, obwohl er sie schon eine Trillion Mal durchgespielt hat. Neu ist allerdings, dass auch Daniel es geschafft hat, Zugang zur Welt der Bestrafung und des Schmerzes zu finden. Er berichtet von Demon's Souls. In den aktuellen Nachrichten reden wir diesmal u.a. darüber, dass Ubisoft uns erklären will, warum NFTs im Bereich Gaming doch so toll sind, dass es noch 3 weitere COD-Games auf Playstation geben könnte und das Hogwarts Legacy doch noch dieses Jahr rauskommen soll. Viel Spaß! Die Folge im Überblick: Was gibt es neues? 03:01 Wieviel Streamingdienste braucht/will der Mensch? Was wird denn hier gespielt? 22:15 Manuel hört niemals auf Seelen zu sammeln… 25:47 …und Daniel ist nun nach vielen Anläufen auch angefixt. Er berichtet von Demons Souls. 52:19 Zudem hat Daniel Eindrücke von Death's Door Neuigkeiten aus der Spielbranche 58:20 Ubisoft erklärt uns, warum wir NFTs wollen! 1:14:33 Kommen mindestens drei weitere COD-Teile auf Playstation? 1:21:00 Microsoft passt die Bedingungen des Gamepass an 1:26:32 Ubisoft schrottet Hyperscape nach nicht mal zwei Jahren 1:31:50 EA bestätigt, dass Respawn an drei Star Wars-Spielen arbeitet 1:37:25 Hogwarts Legacy soll noch 2022 kommen 1:42:13 Blizzard kündigt auf ungewöhnliche Weise sein neues Game an Düfte aus der Gerüchteküche 1:46:40 Certain Affinity arbeitet an einem Monster Hunter-Klon und an einem neuem Halo-Modus https://twitter.com/Extrafreunde https://www.facebook.com/Extrafreunde https://www.instagram.com/extrafreunde ffelpodcast@gmail.com

- Xbox estaría trabajando en un título similar a Monster Hunter para incluirlo en el Game Pass, según el periodista Jeff Grubb. La desarrolladora encargada sería Certain Affinity, un prolífico estudio, más bien de apoyo, que ha colaborado en múltiples títulos de las franquicias Halo o Call of Duty. Curiosamente, hace un año firmó un contrato para desarrollar una nueva IP, y debería ser esta de la que hablamos. - Horizon Forbidden West ya es gold y está listo para lanzarse el 18 de febrero. Lo anunciaba ayer Guerrilla Games a través de su cuenta de Twitter, y aprovecharon, además, para publicar los primeros vídeos en los que podemos ver cómo se mueve el juego en una PS4 Pro. Recordemos que con este título hará acto de presencia la chapuza de política de actualización para títulos intergeneracionales: si compras el juego en PS4 podrás actualizarlo gratuitamente a PS5, costándote 10€ menos. - Se filtra un vídeo del cancelado Star Wars 1313, el título en el que nos íbamos a poner en la piel de Boba Fett para disfrutar de una aventurilla al más puro estilo Uncharted. Lo curioso aquí es que el protagonista del tráiler que se mostró en el E3 de 2012 no era Boba Fett, cosa que cambió a petición de George Lucas tras ver el trabajo que estaba haciendo la desarrolladora. - Forza Horizon supera los 18 millones de jugadores. En algo menos de 3 meses, el celebrado juego de conducción de Playground no hace más que cosechar éxitos. Pondría incluso más en valor estos 18 millones frente a los 20 de Halo Infinite, cifra que podría haber engordado considerablemente debido al multijugador free-to-play. - Publican el primer gameplay de UFL, el juego de fútbol que lleva desarrollando durante 6 años Strikerz. Entiendo que hay que tener cierta fe para esperar que a estas alturas alguien le dispute el mercado a FIFA, pero sería lo mejor que podría ocurrir en beneficio del consumidor. Desarrollado en Unreal Engine y con Cristiano Ronaldo como maestro de ceremonias, este free-to-play parece tener, al menos, bastante más ambición que el —en paz descanse— eFootball de Konami. - Hoy se lanza Leyendas Pokemon Arceus, y parece que ha salido bastante apañado. Os dejo por aquí los análisis de diferentes redactores, por si queréis engorilaros. - Albert García - Paula García - Mario Gómez - Fran G. Matas Puedes encontrarme en Twitter como @nachocerrato.

How Certain Affinity Became The Biggest Independent Video Game Developer in Austin Texas Austin native Mojdeh Gharbi has the kind of “woman-championing-tech” story we need to hear more often. Mojdeh is co-owner of Certain Affinity, the largest independent video game developer in Austin Texas. With contributions to industry-defining games like HALO, Call of Duty and DOOM, Certain Affinity has developed or co-developed more than more than 25 products across 10 different franchises, with more than 100 million units sold. Not bad for what started, twelve years ago, as a “bootstrap startup.” “Most people get into the game industry and say ‘I’m going to make the next big game and it’s going to be amazing.’’ But there’s so much risk involved in making games,” Mojdeh shared. “We intentionally said, we’re not going to go out and raise a bunch of money and hope it works out. We’re going to build the studio from the ground up. We’re going to learn from the best so that when it’s our moment, we’ve set ourselves up for success.” Now a strong workforce of 165 people, Certain Affinity has significantly scaled its operational capability while at the same time remaining profitable and socially conscious. Mojdeh’s leadership has turned heads in the community, as she was recently named a finalist for the Austin Business Journal’s “Profiles in Power,” and recognized in the STEM category of the Women’s Way award in Austin Women’s Magazine. What’s more, Mojdeh firmly believes that “leadership” is about creating a positive ripple effect in the lives of Certain Affinity’s employees and their consumers. In this episode of Voices of Impact, Mojdeh talks about Certain Affinity’s path to becoming the largest independent video game developer in Austin. We discuss the importance of building a reputation, longevity in a rough-and-tumble industry, and the true meaning of legacy. Mojdeh also shares her fresh, insightful approach on the often over-wrought world of marketing.

The game was released on May 13 2016.The gameplay returns to a fast paced shooter with open levels to explore, similar to the first two games.The game also features environment traversal such as ledge grabbing, and double jump. Character upgrades and execution kills are also new to the series. DOOM's multiplayer contains a level editor called SnapMap which was co-developed with id Software by Certain Affinity and Escalation Studios.DOOM (2016) was originally announced as Doom 4 while under development in 2008, the game had quite the developmentwith different builds and designs. It's development was restarted in 2011 and was unveiled as DOOM in 2014. Like the original DOOM (classic) DOOM (2016) was inspired by music particularly heavy metal. DOOM (2016) was very well received by critics and players; the single-player campaign, graphics, and gameplay were praised, whereas the multiplayer mode drew the most criticism. The game was ranked as the second best-selling video game in the UK and the US on its first week and month selling 500,000 copies at the end of May 2016 on PC alone.Story:DOOM takes place in a facility on Mars owned by the Union Aerospace Corporation.

Doom Slayer then pursues Olivia through the base and hell until he finds her and she transforms into the Spider Mastermind and kills her.Development:Doom 4In April 2009, Hollenshead said that Doom 4 was "deep in development". When asked whether Doom 4 would be a sequel, a reboot, or a prequel?", his response was "It's not a sequel to Doom 3, but it's not a reboot either. Doom 3 was sort of a reboot.On June 23, 2009, ZeniMax Media, best known for Bethesda Softworks, acquired id Software and announced that all future id games would be published by Bethesda Softworks, including Doom 4 in addition to Rage and future Quake titles.DOOM (2016)At QuakeCon 2014, id Software Executive Producer Marty Stratton, the host of the presentation, announced that Doom 4 was officially renamed as Doom for the reason that "it’s an origin game, reimagining everything about the originals". The greatest challenge that id Software faced while developing the game was to create a game that can compete with other popular FPS games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, as they considered that the popularity of the Doom series among younger audiences is relatively low when compared to the popular franchises, since the last installment in the series was released back in 2004. Another challenge that they encountered was to build a game that was unique enough to establish its own identity, while "being faithful" to other games in the series. On July 2, 2015, Marty Stratton revealed that the game would not take place on Earth unlike the canceled Doom 4 and that, unlike Doom 3 and inspired by the two originals, Doom would not take itself seriously and that it was being designed to be comic and "very juvenile almost in their approach".Martin later said that the game was heavily inspired by rock and roll and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and that it's Hell-themed levels would feature much heavy metal. He also said that Doom's world was designed to have a certain level of personality and be "over the top".According to Hugo Martin, the game's creative director, the team did not put lots of emphasis upon the game's story, as they believed that it is not an important feature of the franchise. He later said that he knew that some fans would not like to see story be in the way of the gameplay of a first-person shooter such as Doom and that players can optionally find codex entries for clues so that they can fill in gaps with their own ideas and theorize about who the Doom Slayer is, from where he came, and why he is there.   Ratings           Schweiss           Craig          DeGolyer    Wilson Story                    8                   8                  10             9 Gameplay             10                 10                 10             10 Design                  10                 10                 10             10 Sound/Music          10                 10                 10             10 Replayability          10                 10                 10              9 Overall: 194/200             97/100 We have a new champion!!!
