Talk about a quick turnaround. After announcing last month PO’ed: Definitive Edition, Nightdive Studios has revealed that the remake of the 1995 first-person shooter will arrive on May 16 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
Inspired by the original Doom (as were many first-person shooters at the time), PO’ed was originally released for the 3DO. You play as Ox, the cook of the military starship U.S.S. Pompous. The ship has been captured by aliens, which have killed all of the crew. You’re a little mad about this, so you grab your frying pan and jetpack to clean house against “16 of the baddest, maddest and most unattractive monsters in the galaxy,” ranging from rock-throwing ogres, plasma-shooting robots to walking butts.
You’ll be jetting your way through 25 3D environments, armed with a vast arsenal of weapons, including the Power Drill and the Meat Seeker.
PO’ed: Definitive Edition will feature updated 4K visuals with antialiasing, increased framerate and redefined controls. There will be a new difficulty mode added for hardcore players, as well as quality-of-life updates, including fixes for bugs that were present in the original version. You can, however, toggle off these fixes, if you so desire.
