Doom fans, here is something really special for you today. Lee Hardcastle has shared this incredible claymation tribute to all the Doom games. This is easily the best thing you’ll see today. So, waste no time and watch it.
This fan video shows all the Doom games, from the classic ones to Doom: The Dark Ages. It brings enemies and gameplay to life with awesome claymation. And, as you will see, it’s a piece of art.
For instance, in the Doom: The Dark Ages segment, you get to see the player using the shield and some of the melee weapons. For Doom: Eternal, we get to see the sword that was exclusive to it. And for the classic Doom games, we get to see our beloved enemies (as well as the rabbit).
This fan film is really awesome and totally deserves more attention. It’s not the first time we’ve shared something cool like this either. Back in 2020, we showed pictures of someone recreating the Nvidia GeForce 256 graphics card using LEGO. We also shared a fun video that showed what a LEGO Assassin’s Creed game might look like.
Speaking of Doom, I recently finished Doom: The Dark Ages. Tech-wise, I was amazed by what id Software managed to create. Path Tracing can also greatly enhance the game’s graphics. Still, if you don’t have a high-end GPU, Doom: The Dark Ages uses RTGI, and that is enough to get a great image quality, even without PT. Plus, DLSS 4 MFG works wonderfully in this title.
Aside from its tech, what impressed me about Doom: The Dark Ages was its huge enemy crowd. Finally, we have a new Doom game that has lots and lots of enemies on screen. This was one of my biggest issues with Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. So, I was happy to see huge hordes of enemies on screen. Not only that, but the game was not stuttering at all, even when displaying such a huge amount of characters.
My biggest gripe with Doom: The Dark Ages, though, was its combat changes. To put it simply, it did not feel like a Doom game. I get it that id Software wanted to experiment. However, it would make more sense to make Doom: The Dark Ages feel and play like a new “modern” Doom 64 game. Now THAT would be something that would please a lot of Doom fans.
Anyway, enjoy the claymation video and stay tuned for more!
