You should never, ever stop moving in battle. If you're low on life, close with foes and use their corpses to recharge. Why? Enemies knocked off by a Glory Kill always drop health. Don't take cover, don't try to regroup.single out enemies as fast as you can and destroy them with as many Glory Kill finishers as possible. When your health or ammo is low, when you're outnumbered, attack.
And when things are desperate in a big melee setting, don't hesitate to whip it out and start cutting, because. However, in situations where your magazines are mostly full, make a b-line for the biggest enemy and take them down with the Chainsaw. Use it to keep your arsenal topped off in arena battles. This becomes especially important at higher difficulties where ammunition is constantly in demand. A single minion felled with the Chainsaw can significantly increase your ammo supply in a dire moment. Generally speaking, it's best to switch to the Chainsaw when your ammo is getting low. Should you save it for one big enemy (using all your fuel), or space uses out among minor fores? You're constantly having to weigh the value of your precious superweapon. You can read the full Rock Paper Shotgun interview for more interesting animation hurdles that came with making the glory kill system.Resource management with the Chainsaw is absolutely essential for success. “How can we store the same amount of information and deliver it to the player?” Too long, and the player felt removed from the action. Too short, and the player didn't know what happened.
Though they were comfortable with a brief removal of agency, they eventually realized they had to nail the animations within a span of 30 to 60 frames. “We did a kind of scary thing from a dev’s point of view: we had to be right, right from the start.”Īrt director Shinichiro Hara also tells RPS that another big challenge was nailing the timing of the glory kills so they didn’t interrupt player flow.
“It’s one of those things, it takes away a lot of your flexibility as you want to make changes down the road,” Stratton says. As Stratton tells Rock Paper Shotgun, the number of complex animations needed for each glory kill made it even more difficult to incorporate animations of characters being torn in half. In fact, in an interview with Rock Paper Shotgun, Doom game director Marty Stratton says it nearly cost Doom its iconic chainsaw. It’s a notable changeup for the run-and-gun series, which apparently demanded drastic work in production to nail the flow and feel. Id Software’s latest entry in the Doom series has been widely praised for reviving the original’s fast-paced gameplay, but one of its biggest changes to the shooting flow was the new glory kill system brief moments in gameplay where players dive in to deliver a finishing move in exchange for a health bonus.
