The following observations are based on the game running with Vulkan on a GTX 980 with all the settings on Ultra, some are guesses others are taken from the Siggraph presentation by Tiago Sousa and Jean Geffroy. Vulkan being the new hot thing and Baldur Karlsson having recently added support for it in RenderDoc, it was hard resisting picking into DOOM internals. Unlike most Windows games released these days, DOOM doesnвЂ™t use Direct3D but offers an OpenGL and Vulkan backend. WeвЂ™ll examine the scene below where the player attacks a Gore Nest defended by some Possessed enemies, right after obtaining the Praetor Suit at the beginning of the game. Whether this will stand true with id Tech 6 remains to be seen but we donвЂ™t necessarily need the source code to appreciate the nice graphics techniques implemented in the engine.

Historically id Software is known for open-sourcing their engines after a few years, which often leads to nice remakes and breakdowns.

The new DOOM is a perfect addition to the franchise, using the new id Tech 6 engine where ex-Crytek Tiago Sousa now assumes the role of lead renderer programmer after John CarmackвЂ™s departure. DOOM pioneered fundamental changes in game design and mechanics back in 1993, it was a world-wide phenomenon which propelled to fame iconic figures like John Carmack and JohnВ RomeroвЂ¦Дў3 years later, id Software now belongs to Zenimax, all the original founders are gone but it didnвЂ™t prevent the team at id from showing all its talent by delivering a great game.
