The DOOM community's ingenuity knows no bounds! Recently, NyanSatan successfully ran the classic DOOM on Apple's Lightning/HDMI adapter—a feat of technical prowess. This adapter, surprisingly, boasts its own iOS-based firmware and a processor clocking up to 168 MHz. NyanSatan accessed this firmware, then cleverly used a MacBook to transfer the necessary files (as the adapter lacks internal memory) before executing the game.
Meanwhile, news on a new iteration of the franchise reveals exciting accessibility features. In DOOM: The Dark Ages, players will enjoy extensive customization options. Executive producer Marty Stratton highlights the studio's commitment to accessibility, stating players can adjust enemy damage, difficulty, projectile speed, and even the overall game tempo, aggression, and parry timing. This level of customization surpasses previous id Software titles.
Furthermore, Stratton confirmed that understanding DOOM: The Dark Ages and DOOM: Eternal's plots doesn't require prior experience with either game.
