Doom is back. And it’s just plain old Doom.

Bethesda Softworks showed off a preview of its latest Doom game in front of a crowd of fans at the Quakecon 2014 event today in Dallas. The realistic 3D sci-fi shooting game will likely push the edge of animation technology, as Doom fans demand the very best in 3D graphics. The basic Doom story isn’t much. A space marine lands on Mars and finds it infested with demons who have come through a portal from Hell. So he has to wipe them out. But with each generation of Doom, the tech and graphics get better. The new game will carry the name Doom, not Doom 4 as has often rumored.
