Voros Posted November 19, 2015 In the Hell reveal, pause at 1:00 (or few seconds later). Look at the top left corner. Could that be the Soulsphere? Seems likely. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tritnew Posted November 19, 2015 Possibly so, I'm pretty sure there'll be some powerups from Classic DOOM returning In It. 0 Share this post Link to post

40oz Posted November 19, 2015 Since there isn't much conversation left in this topic, I may as well hijack it to ask a question that always had me wondering. Is it really called a soulsphere (in Doom 4 or in Doom 1-2)? I know map editors call it a soul sphere, and that sounds like the generally accepted terminology here. Is it called Soul Sphere in the manual? Up until I signed up to the community I always thought they were called Super Charges, but perhaps its always been just an on screen message when you get it and not a name. For what its worth, does that mean "Berserk!" is just an on screen message too and the "Berserk Pack" actually has a more formal objective name? 0 Share this post Link to post
scifista42 Posted November 19, 2015 The item is called Soul Sphere in the Doom Bible:Soul sphere. Contains the life energy of a human soul (and thus, it is a 1-Up)! As "Soulsphere" is both more unique and better descriptive of the item than "Supercharge", it's probably the reason why we call it "Soulsphere" till this day. EDIT: http://www.classicdoom.com/doominfo.htm mentions both "Soul Sphere" and "Berserk Pack", and no "Super Charge". 0 Share this post Link to post

mrthejoshmon Posted November 19, 2015 In the PSX manual it is indeed referred to as a Soul Sphere. 0 Share this post Link to post

Koko Ricky Posted November 19, 2015 Cool detail. I checked it out and it has to be some kind of power-up. 0 Share this post Link to post

Voros Posted November 20, 2015 When did Marty confirm of the soulsphere? What would the berserk pack be like...or was it replaced by the demon ruin... 0 Share this post Link to post
