We're currently experiencing something of an old-school first-person
revival in 2016 - one that's gathering immeasurable speed thanks to
Battlefield and Call of Duty battering each other over who's going to
rule Christmas.
Games like the underrated Shadow Warrior and now Bethesda's resurrection of both Wolfenstein and
Doom across the last two years (the founding pillars of first-person
shooting, no less) have led to a renaissance of all things twitchy and
hyper-violent.
To that end, DOOM is currently riding a wave of
nostalgia and newly-found positive reception thanks to being a
hands-down brilliant shooter, but there's a small easter egg tucked away
in your character's customisation options, that could lead to yet
another landmark franchise returning in the near future.
Said
easter egg is a patterned armour option showing the legendary Quake
logo, which you'll unlock as you play through the multiplayer modes.
Now, out of sheer wishful thinking, I'm hoping this means iD Software
are at least thinking about another entry in the franchise.
Wolfenstein, DOOM and Quake are the premiere original shooters, and to the 90s generation, Quake was
their DOOM. An arena-based blaster that dove headlong into 3D
environments and helped us get to grips with how to move through 3D
space, like DOOM, it's a name that every gamer knows, and will have
varying degrees of affinity for.
