Some games are used to benchmark hardware's performance, i.e. "how many pixels can we throw on screen and still run 60 frames per second?" But there's one game that's a benchmark for cultural validation, and that would be the original Doom. Phones run Doom. Calculators run Doom. Hell, you can even play Doom from inside another Doom.
You can now add Apple's latest gadgets to
that list. As part of a 10-hour hackathon, Facebook developers Lior Tubi and
Mehdi Mulani have posted videos of the game running on Apple Watch (via watchOS
2) and the new Apple TV.
The game actually seems reassuringly playable
using the new TV's remote. The same can't be said for the Apple Watch, but then
again, the point isn't to make Doom user-friendly on every device; it's just to
make it be.
