DOOM Fan Creates Working DoomBlade from Eternal | Game Rant
With the coronavirus pandemic ravaging large swathes of the world, including the games industry, there's a fairly good chance that players will have to settle with this year's current big releases for some time, as video game delays in 2020 are becoming more likely. However, that means players may get to deep dive into certain games, and possibly make some DIY projects based on them – just like one DOOM Eternal fan did.
Reddit user Miscreations took it upon themselves to create their very own DoomBlade, and sharpen some of their fruit-killing skills on a watermelon. The result is really impressive, and while it isn't as high tech as the one the Doom Slayer rocks, it's about as accurate as one could get without sci-fi technology.
As most expect, the blade expands and retracts, revealing what is apparently a very sharp blade. It's reminiscent of the hidden blade from Assassin's Creed, though much less subtle. Miscreation's video also shows the process of making it, which appears to involve a fair bit of welding and springs. The video also features a cuddly bunny, but don't worry, it only receives love as an homage to Doom Guy's own rabbit.
It's always incredible to see what kind of crazy things fans can cook up. The DoomBlade is a central part of DOOM Eternal, being featured in plenty of the game's glory kills, and seeing it realized in the real world is impressive, to say the least. With the Doom Slayer now being one of gaming's longest-running characters, there are certainly plenty of other aspects of the character that would be cool to see translated into the real world. Fanart isn't uncommon, but props like this are.
Hopefully, Miscreations will work on some other video game creations next. With Final Fantasy 7 Remake now out in the wild, it would be incredible to see something like Cloud's Buster sword find its way into the real world, even if it would take a team to actually lift. Of course, the buster sword may be better left to cosplayers, as it's almost as cool as it is impractical.
DOOM Eternal is available now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
