Today Doom performed no less than 25 years. Co -founder ID Software John Romero (John Romero) decided to celebrate the anniversary of his brainchild with an announcement – the developer creates the spiritual heiress of the action movie named Sigil.
Sigil – Modification for the original Doom 1993. The mod includes nine single levels and the same number of locations for "fighting to death". Action Sigil will continue where the original game ended.
Release Sigil scheduled for mid-February 2019. The mod will spread free.
For special lovers of creativity Romero Publisher Limited Run Games will release two physical publications Sigil – Beast Box and standard set. The composition of the usual publication ($ 40) includes:
• “Beautiful demonic” box with art from the artist Christopher Lavella (Christopher Lovell).
• 16 GB USB flash drive, made in the form of a half-inch diskette. The device records mods and additional materials.
• Box “Jewel” with two discs: on one-mod, on the other-the soundtrack from Buckethead.
• Two stickers – with logos Sigil And Romero Games.
Beast Box (166 bucks) is as follows:
• “Beautiful demonic” box (even more than the previous!), signed personally Romero. Work also flaunts on it Lavella.
• flash drive from the publication above.
• Boxing box with two discs on which mod, soundtrack, as well as information on the development of the original game and information are recorded and Sigil.
• POSTER with a pattern from Lavella. Poster size – 20 by 25 centimeters.

The best comments
I have some ambiguous feeling from this https://nonukgamblingsites.co.uk/review/slots-amigo/ news, to be honest.
1) Uncle, of course, at one time gave us Doom, for which I am infinitely grateful to him. But since then, both Karmak and Id Software have gone far ahead. And Romero is stomping everything in place and lives a thought to this day. Moreover, it is the first Duma, and not in a series in general.
2) It is cool that the game spreads free, thanks a lot. But … a mod for the first thought? Seriously?? I thought it would be a game in the spirit of an old school, but not on the engine of the original, which is 25 years old and in which it was even impossible to jump and move the sight in the vertical plane.
3) Really cool art on the collective. I like this, and I would even have taken it, but … Damn, 166 Bachinsky for a collarity, in which actually the game itself is free? Well, no, thanks. Also, and almost a third of all objects in the collective is (again free) game on physical media. On the CD, the drive for which is now an almost rarity thing as the floppy of the discovers, and on the 16GB flash drive, which, because of its external form factor, will not be very convenient to use. Despite the fact that the game itself, in the best traditions of the original Duma, weighs megabyta and a half. I suggest the authors go even further and put a third copy of the game on HDD. And not on the external USB device, but on the old one, with a tale or ata connection. So that no one knew what to do with it, in general?
4) and the last – what, in general, I was stubborn? I, as an old fan, who still has all the doom parts on the computer and who plays regularly in them (just recently he has re -re -re -re -re -re -put), make such a royal gift – one might say, the semi -official continuation of the original. It’s cool! Real holiday! Although standing. And where are at least some materials on the game itself? At least one screenshot, I’m not talking about trailers. Nothing. In fact, there is one cool art, propagated by all these boxes, T -shirts, discs, posters and coins. It is very strange to open the sale of collection publications of the game about which nothing is known by all expense.
Update: I still found a game trailer. And this is not the "spiritual heiress" doom, as it is written in the news. It’s just map packs for the original. New content in it zero. Just a pack of ordinary custom cards created in the editor. Not a single new weapon or monster, or locations, or, in general, at least something, everything from the first part. I am slightly disappointed, if I may say so.
So how do you know? In the photo and the bag was not normal.
Maybe the statuette of the head at the peak will be nylon?
Eh, I really thought there would be a disc with a game for installation on an old PC, but it turned out that only a flash drive. You will have to pour it on an empty disc.
Romero had already made a card in 2016 and everything turned out fine. Yes, this is just a new card, but actually … this is the best shooter of the last millennium and the quality map of the original are already wildly cool and that it could be better in general?
From the new, he works on Blackroom and most likely the money received from the sale of this collections will go there.
Not really. Kikstarter of the campaign was Neoch, so they covered it and decided to focus on creating demos and actually they were busy.
It always seemed to me that Romero was just a parasite on the neck of the karmak, and the embezzlement of finance on whores and other nishtyaks. Where I am mistaken? He did not do anything sensible in the same way "then" nor subsequently.
And what he went forward? Made a shit Rage, left for VR- there in the end he did not achieve anything and crap all the PC Gamers- this is his achievement? The ID Software itself has not been connected with him for a long time and works under the wing of the gazebo, which has nothing to do with it. And there have long been a large half of the state- these are new employees.
I thought it would be a game in the spirit of an old school, but not on the engine of the original, which is 25 years old and in which it was even impossible to jump and move the sight in the vertical plane.
Romero is an exclusively old school adherent and works on pure enthusiasm for real fans- this is his main merit. And they still play the original Dosovsky Dum and will play. And yes without jumping and on the clave, only hardcore! Don’t like it, go to UNCHARTEDS Play, someone interferes?:)
Nobody forces you to buy collections- this is again a pleasure for fans.
On the CD, the drive for which is now an almost rarity thing as the floppy of the discovers, and on the 16GB flash drive, which, because of its external form factor, will not be very convenient to use. Despite the fact that the game itself, in the best traditions of the original Duma, weighs megabyta and a half. I suggest the authors go even further and put a third copy of the game on HDD. And not on the external USB device, but on the old one, with a tale or ata connection.
All this is done in the same way for connoisseurs and collectors, if you do not understand. It’s not about convenience, but about the very essence. Nobody does this now and this is the main feature. There are people who specifically collect retro-PC for such surprises, I myself, I have a separate rare computer with Elt Monica and 3DFX Voodoo Banshee! On which I sometimes play in the masterpieces of an old school in resolution of 640×480 and my happiness has no limit.
And where are at least some materials on the game itself? At least one screenshot, I’m not talking about trailers. Nothing. In fact, there is one cool art, propagated by all these boxes, T -shirts, discs, posters and coins. It is very strange to open the sale of collection publications of the game about which nothing is known by all expense.
What do you need? PR companies with trailers and posters?:) For whom? All the fan community will also find out, but for a wide circle it is unlikely to be needed.
And this is not the "spiritual heiress" doom, as it is written in the news. It’s just map packs for the original. New content in it zero. Just a pack of ordinary custom cards created in the editor. Not a single new weapon or monster, or locations, or, in general, at least something, everything from the first part.
In general, the info must be properly googled if it is really interesting. On Twitter, Romero said that it would be a slight continuation for the 4th episode, without any innovations. If you want innovations, there is a wonderful Moddb website with tons of content for the original doom, as well as fan projects.
Yes, it was business. A couple of years ago, when they, EMNIP, promised to pitch something throughout the year. Since then – silence.
Uh … well, in general, Karmak progerus was always engaged exclusively. And yes, no one has canceled his merits, it is about his current attitude to the fan community and PC to gamers, on which he frankly, he had a long time.
Well, actually he Levl actively engaged in design, at least in the 1st doom, if my memory serves me.
I don’t know why the minus, but googled I was convinced. that he really did the levels)) I think this was not his only direction, but nevertheless))
