So who’s bowing out from a late 2019 release? None other than Bethesda’s DOOM Eternal, the sequel to 2016’s metal as hell first-person shooter that set eyeballs aflame when it first came out. Here’s the text from Id Software confirming the delay.

DOOM had shades of Quake 3 Arena in its DNA, the servers did an adequate job of turning pings into regular missed shots and it was an optional extra that most people ignored. In this day and age, alright simply isn’t good enough though and that’s something that id Software wants to avoid with DOOM Eternal.

Gamescom was rad as all Hell. Personally, it was the first convention I’ve ever had the opportunity to cover, so setting aside the crippling anxiety that is flying overseas by yourself and staying in a stranger’s spare room (it was a really good price and he only stole one of my kidneys, very considerate) Gamescom was everything I wanted it …

Gamescom has Gamesgone and after a ferocious week of pushing through crowds, eating the cheapest food we could find and playing an unscrupulous amount of games, Sam and I sat down to shout very loudly at each other over what we thought was the dopest thing we saw all week.

Bethesda has decided to provide a closer look at the art for the steel book case that will be available in the DOOM Eternal collector’s edition, and even though I’d bet that the included Doom Slayer helmet is rubbish shaped with thin ABS plastic, the art for the steel book fills me with all kinds of good feelings.

E3 2019 may not have too many games to show off this year but…Actually wait that’s pretty much it. There’s no half-ass joke here folks. I’ve half-assed the half-assery. I’ve basically gone whole-ass. Anyway, As is the usual every year, the Game Critics Awards pop up and declare their best of show nominees, with a list of winners following shortly afterwards.
