Bethesda Softworks put up DOOM Eternal’s system requirements on Steam but was quick to take them down. According to these requirements, 50 GB of hard disk space was needed for the game.
A game receiving a big patch on day one means that either the game was unfinished or it has some issues. It is highly likely that some issues made their way into the final product. They only way to make amends would definitely be through a patch. However, id Software could have certain improvements in mind for the upcoming DOOM game. The purpose of this patch could be to implement these improvements as soon as possible.
DOOM is a first-person shooter game that was originally released in 1993. For the time, the game was revolutionary for the FPS genre. The franchise continued getting installments until its recent revival in 2016 with DOOM. Bethesda Softworks and id Software knocked it out of the part with this latest rendition of the DOOM series. The fast-paced gameplay coupled with gory executions made the game one of the best single-player shooter games.
Fast forward to 2020 and we are awaiting the arrival of DOOM Eternal. The UI and accessibility options of the game were reportedly beefed up to accommodate players’ various needs. On top of that, the game’s executive producer stated that 60 fps was critical for the upcoming DOOM title. id Software announced last year that the game would be delayed. The developers of the game needed more time to finish the game.
The wait is almost over and the game is almost upon us. We can’t wait to tear apart demons and wreak havoc once again. DOOM Eternal is set to release for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on March 20.
