Last week, much to our delight, a few details about the latest game from id Software’s Doom<\/em> surfaced, including some brilliant screenshots<\/a> which have whet our appetite for gory first-person shooting to no end.<\/p>\n

Additional details were revealed during the Game Informer Show<\/em> podcast<\/a>, including information about how keycards work, the game’s story progression and much more.<\/p>\n

Keycards will come in three varieties, blue, yellow and red. Each keycard will open a corresponding door, as is expected. These doors can be located throughout the levels you make your way through. However, the\u00a0keycards will be spaced out more than in the original\u00a0Doom.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

So, yes, in this latest iteration of Doom<\/em>, keycards will be used for progression and gaining access to secrets. But before you freak out at how antiquated this all sounds, it’s purposefully retro.<\/p>\n

The game will in no way be a “keycard simulator” like the original games.<\/p>\n

From a storytelling perspective, Doom<\/em> looks and sounds rather interesting. The game’s story will unfold as the player actively participates in the game, rather than having it parroted back to you, which has been compared by some as a similar narrative approach to\u00a0Dead Space<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Other interesting tidbits of information include the Glory Kills that are similar to the stealth kills found in\u00a0Wolfenstein: The New Order<\/em>, except much faster and far more brutal.<\/p>\n

Glory Kills will be extremely quick and exaggerated melee attacks that will let a player dispose of enemies up close and personal.<\/p>\n

Initially, Bethesda set aside\u00a0fears that these Glory Kills\u00a0won’t affect the flow of the game, which was later confirmed to be true by the\u00a0Game Informer Show<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n
