Doom Eternal game director put a “lot of thought” into a female Doom Slayer
Hu♒go Martin wants a hypothetical female Doom protagonist to play differꦡently

Doom Eternal's game di🍎rector has said he's put a "lot of thought" into the possibility of adding a female protagonist to the Doom franchise.
Speak🌟ing on an during his Director's Playthrough of Doom Eternal (via ), Hugo Martin said that he's "thought about it,𝄹" when asked about the possibility of a female Slayer protagonist. "I would really strive to have it impact the gameplay in a way that was meaningful. I’ve definitely put a lot of thought into that, actually," the game director continued.
Martin elaborated, saying that he'd rather the change impact gameplay instead of being a simple reskin for the existing Doom Slayer. "I think if we did it, I’d want it to be lethal. I think it’s interesting how it would impact the Glory Kills and the weapons that she would have. The fighting style [would] certainly [be] all aggressio♌n, absolutely, but a different type of aggression" Martin said.
"Tonally, when it comes to designing the action, you think about, ‘if The Slayer is a Ferrari, then what would a female Slayer be? What would a Medieval slayer be?’ How would that affect things and what sort of analogies would 🔴you draw from that to allow it to 𝐆influence the experience? It definitely would be cool," the director concluded.
Even without a name, Doom's protagonist has always been a male character, nicknamed the "Doomguy" in some instances by various games across the long-running series. A female lead would be a first for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:id Software's franchise, in both the 💎retro Doom games and the modern reboot saga.
