So why did he wait around for 60% of humanity to be killed off to get down there and unload his shotgun? Doom Hunter is a new type of enemy in Doom Eternal. Hell has truly come to Earth, and now it's up to Doom Slayer to save it. You hear people crying for someone to help in the background. In the opening cinematic, a news report says matter-of-factly that 60% of humanity has been wiped out by demons. Humanity, basically, is failing in the struggle. 'There was clearly a struggle against humanity and the demons,' Creative Director Hugo Martin says of the landscape. The environment tells a story of failure.

The guts are reminiscent of the climactic end of Akira the mechs of every mech show out there. It's a scene that instantly brings to mind one thing only: anime. It's a leaving-the-Fallout-vault-type moment, only it happens a few missions deep, and it's just for one expansive level. It's early on, when I stepped out into an area overrun by dilapidated, abandoned mechs and gooey guts covering almost every other surface. It's a clear moment where it all stopped looking like regular ol' Doom and started looking like something far more visually interesting. Doom Eternal is the first game brought up on the new id Tech 7 engine, but it wasn't until my demo last week that I really saw its new potential.

Rip and tear your guts
