So, guys, there comes a DOOM group! Apparently, Bethesda Softworks, aka the dudes behind DOOM, recently dropped some concept art of Mancubus for the coming game, and the internet seems to be going haywire. It’s chonky, metal, and totally asynchronistic to the buzz that it is generating on the internet. Some say, it looks like their uncle grew large after Thanksgiving dinner, lol!
The concept art of DOOM has exploded over our X account (formerly known as Twitter) as people just go ahead and throw their opinions against the wall! Some compare it with the earlier Mancubus designs, others crack up weird jokes, and we mean weird because who knows why politics would come in? Apparently, one guy compared it to the Eternal Carcass, and one dude made a comment saying it “looks like a giant baby.” Truuue though!
Alright, broken down – Bethesda Softworks and id Software are hard at work in the making of a new title of DOOM and this art for the Mancubus gives us a preview of what we should expect next in that game. Obvious, a classic demon, obviously huge, with two arm cannons, known as Mancubus. Restructuring seems to be combining organic-looking details from DOOM (2016) with heavy-armor design from DOOM Eternal.
But some are just outright thirsty for the Mancubus? “@DOOM I found my next boyfriend ☺️ #Doom #TheMancubus” WHAT?!
What about me? Is it just me or the Mancubus totally off? I mean, like really off? Like it feels…not really devoid of something but like too much something? Too much artistic detail of killing liveliness, not sure!
And there are all kinds of responses: Hyped, confused, and… politics?? Seriously, they managed to get to politics with demon design. Typical gamers. Never change. Meanwhile, though much debate on the advancement of technology in Hell of Doom Universe goes, “Is it pure chaotic abstraction?” or do they somehow adapt technologies from the worlds they’re conquering? Pretty deep, y’all!
Some other takes of which I chuckled as well:
* “He looks disgusting” – True tho, it’s a Mancubus, not a puppy.
* “Microsoft studios are so talented and have big franchises Sony studios are untalented, have no big franchises” – LOL, random console warz never get old.
* “They gave them crotch armor. ☠️” – Well, got to protect the family jewels!
* “Average AC Shadows enjoyer.” – Ouch! Shots fired!
And artist Hypo_Thermick asked, “@DOOM Whoa give me more of this artist!” Same! Please give us more concept art!
But wait, what was I saying? Right, Mancubus! So, what’s the verdict? Is this redesign a hit or a bust? I, for one, am really getting into it. It’s gross, it’s over-the-top, and it’s sure getting in between the way I look at corners in new games from now on. All doomenge according to the facts. Besides, new bits are totally sweet, and after all, this is just concept art.
Some gamers get all worried and start asking things like: “Is this Mancubus a sort of intermediate between the Eternal character and the similarly organic monster from 2016?” DinosaurHeretic asked on X.
At the end of the day, however, the Mancubus is just one little cog in this ever-expanding wheel. Waiting to see the final version of the game will let us really judicane it. But for now, one thing is for sure: DOOM! And it will be bringing HEAVY METAL!
