Still need to buy this game.
Hoping eventually I'll feel like I can finally dive into Eternal. I pushed through 2016 earlier this year, and poked a teensy bit at the first mission and some change with Eternal, and the difference is staggering - I don't dislike it, it's just I'll definitely need to be bringing a lot to the table when I go to play it.
Buy it and stream yourself playing it in the Allspark Discord!
I played Eternal first, both games are great in their own rights. They're similar enough to be one as a series but different enough to offer a unique experience to players in their own ways, kinda like WFC and FOC.
We had a thread for this? New trailer dropped for Doom The Dark Ages, releasing May 15. Available on PC, Xbox and Playstation. Long standing rumors are that it's on a shortlist for a number of Microsoft ports to the Nintendo Switch 2 later in the year.

Are we gonna hug up Cthulu?
There is still some positive news about Doom despite Microsoft's gutting of id software. Earlier this year, Blaze Entertainment announced that Doom would be coming to the Evercade platform, and they just dropped a trailer. Including a tease of a special edition of the Evercade Nexus in Doom stylings with bunch of swag.

Limited to just 3000 units, expect the limited edition to sell out quick. Especially at a downright affordable $250. If not interested in all the DOOM stuff, they also have a Nexus bundle with Banjo Kazooie for $200 (and Best Buy is throwing in a copy of Data East Arcade Collection 2 for preorders).
Evercade's Doom cart is apparently a bespoke port (not an emulation job like most of the Duke Nukem offerings), the cart will include both Doom and Doom 2, plus SIX expansions (including Sigil 1 and 2), plus a Deathmatch pack. The game IS multiplayer, with up to 4 player splitscreen deathmatch using the Evercade VS-R (the console Evercade which has dual cartridge slots). And it's a nifty red cart (evoking my memories of the SNES version and its red cart). If they got Doom running, I wouldn't be surprised if Hexen/Heretic is coming next year.
The comic in question is a reprint of the gloriously awful 90s comic, which gave us many glorious Doom memes (RIP AND TEAR)

And in Doom-adjacent news, the madlads at MachineGames have made another new expansion for the original Quake, a free update to owners of the Nightdive remaster version.
