Support NeoGAF

[Peterthumpa]

Still no PS4 PRO support which is a shame. The game could have profited from the console extra power especially if the game already runs at 60 FPS so there is plenty room for improvements.

One of the few games that I'm inclined to say: it doesn't need it. It's already a 60 FPS game and the AA is absurdly good, IQ is pristine.

 

[BolognaSoup]

Picked it up in the most recent PSN sale. Can't wait to dive in after I finish Axiom Verge.

 

[CrazyHal]

I never use the word rad, but can only describe the soundtrack as rad.

 

[Demicore]

Truly a masterpiece.

However, it seems many things regarding snap maps have been broken for more than five months without a fix in sight, which is a crying shame...

 

[Ganondorfo]

They should have called it Doom 4 instead of Doom, there are some people that think that Doom is still the original PC game. Still its an amazing game.

 

[Psyrgery ES]

Doom got robbed.

Not goty, got fucking generation

 

[Nikana]

while not a bad game, it is one of the most overrated games I've ever seen on GAF. Halfway through you've pretty much seen everything it has to offer, after that point it becomes a slog and does almost nothing new with regards to encounter design, level design, new gimmicks.

Did we play the same game?

There aren't even any bosses in the distance half, so the second half has all of the new level designs and gimmicks you're asking for.

 

[uncleslappy]

My personal GOTY last year. I hardly ever play FPS games, but this was something special.

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Very good game though as others have mentioned, got repetitive.

Anytime you entered a large room with power ups you knew you had an arena fight coming

 

[Mr. Tibbs]

Fantastic game. While it's disappointing there aren't any plans for singleplayer DLC, at least the team remain committed to supporting the base game. The eventual sequel will be killer.

"We haven't talked about much beyond the DLC, so I can't really go into a lot of detail, unfortunately," Stratton said. "I would love to talk about things that we're working on and banging around and all that kind of stuff. There are a couple of things with multiplayer that we're still working on; we'll probably talk about that at a later time. There are no current plans for any campaign DLC. I don't want to get people's hopes up."

Martin and Stratton are aware of what players want. For now, they're content to leave them hanging. "We really feel like we're in one of the best times ever for Doom and for id," Stratton said. "Whether it's VR, multiplayer, or single-player—we left people wanting more on the campaign. There's worse things than having people want more of your combat."

"We worked hard to leave it that way," Martin added. "It was an objective: to start to build a Doom universe. It's a giant canvas."

"So without saying anything," Stratton rejoined, "we wanted to leave ourselves in a great spot, and we feel like we have."

 

[mcz117chief]

was ok, but there were far better FPS games last year.

 

[Loxley]

That original E3 gameplay reveal still baffles me. It completely under-sells the gameplay in almost every regard - especially since it looks so slow. Imagine if they'd unveiled the game with footage like this - I think they would have gotten folks way more hyped about the game much earlier on.

 

[grosvenor_92]

Got it the other day from GMG. I'm looking forward to to the single player after all the positive things I've read

 

[B00TE]

Let's not forget it also gave us the best Miracle of Sound song yet

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kjIVkl34Vig

Hadn't listened to this before, this is fucking awesome. Man, now I wanna replay it.

 

[SimpleCRIPPLE]

Now we wait for Doom 2

Crazy to be saying this again over 20 years after we were first saying it.

 

[To Far Away Times]

A class above most other shooters and western developed games.

Doom 2016 is a special game.

 

[Tertullian]

Where on earth is the single player DLC?

 

[Raide]

Thought the SP was great fun and a crazy throwback to classic Doom. More please!

MP was straight garbage. No wonder it died faster than an e1m1 grunt.

 

[Bronetta]

Still can't believe it ranked #2 on GAF's GotY awards. It beat Overwatch by a good bit too.

 

[00ich]

Now we wait for Doom 2

Oh please let that be hell on earth.

 

[TheShocker]

Doom was fucking awesome. The soundtrack was flat out badass too. Can't wait for a sequel.

 

[The Flash]

It's a good game, Brent.

 

[Gaogaogao]

yall have any more of that doom 2016

 

[psychotron]

A huge surprise and I'm dying for a sequel.

 

[Marvel]

Now we wait for Doom 2

Well I'm ready!

 

[Cyanity]

Best FPS of 2016 for sure, but dang if that filesize doesn't make reinstalling for a second playthrough sting. My SSD only has 150gb free, and DOOM will take up more than half of that space.

 

[DAHGAMING]

I love Doom, can't wait for a sequal, the last couple of years have had some good fps games with Wolfensteine, Titanfall 2 and even COD Infinite Warfare seems to have a decent single player so far (3 missions till completion).

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I maintain that Doom 2016 has the best FPS campaign I've ever played. Between the level design and monsters and the speed and music and just...man. So fucking good.

 

[Qassim]

Best single player FPS game in a long time. Why? Because it plays like this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anrvBD4aTGY

Which is better than pretty much any other single player AAA FPS game in a decade.

This is what sold me on the game. It ended up putting my playthrough of UC4 on hiatus, halfway through. I was obsessed with the new DOOM.

Such a good game. My favorite FPS campaign!

DOOM ruined Uncharted 4 for me. I was alternating between the two and every time I'd play UC4 it felt so slow and boring, I had to drag myself through it.

 

[Spladam]

I have not beaten it yet....

but I find this to be true.

I played a crap ton and I can't recommend it over Quake 1.

Wolf is much better

A game where you have to manually pick up every piece of ammo and every power up? Hmm...
Doom just plays so smooth and seamless compared to Wolfenstein.

 

[Forerunner]

Fantastic single player and ass multiplayer.

Yep - was playing Uncharted 4 at the time too - whilst playing DOOM on the PC. Did make it a bit more difficult to enjoy Uncharted.

That video is also the one that sold it for me. Before that, I wasn't in the slightest interested - I saw the initial E3 reveal and just discounted it entirely. This should be used as some sort of case study on how easy it is to misrepresent your game and how disastrous it could be.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I feel the same way. Fun game, but highly overrated. With that said, I'm excited for a sequel

What difficulty did you beat it on?

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

It would have been my game of the year if the multiplayer was decent. It would have been so easy to fix too.

 

[The Xtortionist]

DOOM ruined Uncharted 4 for me. I was alternating between the two and every time I'd play UC4 it felt so slow and boring, I had to drag myself through it.

DOOM was the best possible game I could have played after Uncharted 4. Shit brought me back from a dark, handhold-filled place.

 

[Magwik]

Fantastic game
Would love to replay it
not willing to download like 50GB of MP fluff

 

[Chinbo37]

This game was awesome. Unfortunately I deleted it the second after finishing as it was crushing my 250 gb ssd.

I really hope for some single player dlc.

 

[leng jai]

Fun game for sure but as I've said before vastly overrated for me. Sound mixing bad and the game felt like 4 hours of content stretched into 10+. OP calling the OST one of the best ever is another head scratcher.

Game looked and performed great on PS4, wouldn't mind double dipping on the stellar PC version once it hits $10.

 

[nephilimdj]

Arcade mode made it goty for me. Something amazing when you get a good run and insane score.

 

[Grassy]

Did they end up enabling SLI support?

https://twitter.com/idsoftwaretiago/status/731018336847306752?lang=en

I was waiting for SLI support to get back into it, but it seems they never bothered.

 

[ipukespiders]

I loved what I played of it but after many regular crashes, I finally had my save corrupted (pc) so that kinda took the wind out of my sails.

 

[SeanR1221]

Need to finish it still. I stopped the level after getting the BFG

 

[WonderCheese]

Can't post a DOOM 4 retrospective without Polygon vs NVIDIA DOOM comparison video.

I still love this so much. It's just amazing. I forget, did we ever find out who was playing while that video was recorded?

 

[Rock And Roll]

My GOTY of 2016 and I was completely surprised at how good it turned out. Loved the original (and all the great FPS games of the 90s) but let's face it, Doom didn't look too promising after the years in developmental hell and other factors. I think the initial reviews kind of undersold the game too so I was pleasantly surprised when I picked it up.

I went back to platinum the game last week, which is the only time I've bothered to platinum something. What a fantastic game from start to finish. Best campaign in god knows how long. The way they tease you with the BFG reveal is one of my favourite moments in gaming too.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Crazy how great the campaign was yet they made that shit multiplayer with a season pass instead of more single player content. Like what the FUCK?

 

[Izuna]

I'll never understand why people like this Campaign so much.

Surely people can agree that it drags and gets boring real quick ;/

Unnecessary weapon switching all over, which is shadowing one of the game's largest problems.

There is little purpose for the vast majority of the weapons.

Uh no

 

[NinjamicWZ]

One of the few games that I'm inclined to say: it doesn't need it. It's already a 60 FPS game and the AA is absurdly good, IQ is pristine.

HDR would be nice since the game is so dominated by orange, red hues and great light sources.
