Are you a MacBook Pro lover?

Then you have to be excited for one of the finest innovations on MacBook Pro, which is now painting the town red. It is running Doom, incorporated on the touch bar of MacBook Pro.

Adam Bell, an iOS developer, just made one step ahead in running Doom on MacBook Pro's touch bar.

One thing MacBook Pro users need to understand is that the new Apple MacBook's touch bar was intended to make games like Doom run, which developers often do when testing out new features. But admittedly, having the classic shooter available to any hardware component also makes it prone or inclined to hacking - a fact that the entire tech community would definitely agree upon. On a brighter note, as reported on THE VERGE, there will be a higher involvement of action on the touch bar feature; serving as a mini-Apple Watch slotted into the MacBook Pro's keyboard.

One major concern that has been raised though is the touch bar's ability to keep up with the requirements of running Doom. With its 2170 x 60 resolution, it is said that playing the game will not be a piece of cake. On the other hand, what makes it technically likeable is its capability to pilot levels according to the audio --- plus the charismatic impact the game's sound effects can bring to the one using it.

A video on how Doom runs on MacBook Pro's touch bar has been uploaded to YouTube, giving avid Apple MacBook Pro fanatics a closer look, MacDailyNews reported.

Bell has made a similar move before: having the Doom HUD available to the touch bar that, they say, looks way superior.; however, it caused difficulties for users since it would require someone to make an extra effort by looking down just to verify their health condition.
