The Next Doom Game Just Got Announced And It Looks Different (And Rad)

Kotaku Zack Zwiezen Sunday, 09 June 2024 17:05
  • Unique Points
    • Doom: The Dark Ages is the next entry in the Doom series, announced during the Xbox Summer Showcase in 2023.
    • The game appears to be a prequel to previous Doom installments, showing who the Doom Slayer was before he became known for killing demons on Mars.
  • Accuracy
    • Doom: The Dark Ages is launching in 2025 (other article fact)
    • The game will be coming to Xbox (including Game Pass), PC, and PS5 (other article fact)
  • Deception (100%)
    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Fallacies (95%)
    The author makes several statements that are not fallacies but rather opinions or facts. The author expresses excitement about the new Doom game and its differences from previous installments. He also mentions the history of the Doom series and its impact on gaming. However, there are a few instances where the author uses inflammatory rhetoric to express his opinion about Xbox's need to showcase their acquisitions and games on other platforms. This can be seen as an appeal to emotion but does not necessarily constitute a logical fallacy.
    • ]Speaking of which, Doom: The Dark Ages will arrive next year on Xbox, PC, and also PS5.[
    • Xbox really needs to show what all that money bought.
