When Executive Producer for id Software Marty Stratton previewed Doom at Bethesda’s E3 showcase, he said it was a special part of gaming history.

“The foundation of any Doom experience, past or present, is unquestionably combat that’s centred around three things — bad-a** demons, big f***ing guns and moving really, really fast.”This foundation has been carried over into the new game.

With explosive gun shots, hand-to-hand combat finishes and blood soaked floors throughout, the game promises to be the most violent yet.While the game will almost definitely be rated as adults only, it would not be a surprise if its violent nature caused controversy both locally and internationally.
