Doom is real, and it is even gorier than we expected. The original creators of Doom pioneered a certain caliber of video game violence with the original franchise, and the demonstration of the new Doom aspires to do the same for a new generation of games: body parts gib, burst, and leak across an impressively realistic metallic setting. In the footage, the hero blasts hell-beasts, alternating various weapons with melee attacks that remove limbs like wings off a chicken just removed from the oven. At the end of the demo, the hero cuts through the humanoid demons with a chainsaw in a variety of angles to show that for him, dismemberment isn't a job — it's a craft.

The new Doom runs on the id Tech 6 game engine, and it's the first game to do so. The engine and the game look noticeably better than id Tech 5 games, like Rage and the most recent reboot of Wolfenstein.

Doom will feature multiplayer, which was briefly shown in a teaser trailer. Doom will also include Doom Snapmap, a tool that seeks to make modding accessible to every player. According to the footage shown, new maps and modes are created with building block-like features.

Doom is scheduled for release on PS4, Xbox One, and PC in Spring 2016.
