Support NeoGAF

[Gormenghast]

"Vulkan support won't make it on release, but will be available very very shortly after release"

Uh, hello?

Once again, a whole lot of lies when it comes to new APIs.

Maybe even the demo a month ago was fake? It makes no sense to have fully functional demo and then not even release the code after more than a month when they said "we only need to fix a glitch when fps go above 200".

Here's the classic centered weapon display option in action, the official DOOM twitter just posted this

Apologizes for the poor image quality, that's just how they uploaded it.

Why is it that such a simple thing makes me want to play through it again for the 3rd time? ughhhh lol

 

[JailDesigner]

Photo mode!!!

If we can move the camera and see the Doom Guy kicking some demon butts we can get some serious state of the art pics!

 

[Aaron]

Man, they just poured the love into this game, didn't they? I thought about the gun centering thing because Giant Bomb was playing Quake recently, but never thought they'd bother adding the adjustment. Hope it sold well.

 

[Comfort Jones]

No removal of the two weapon load out limit yet? Really?

 

[Shaneus]

CTRL-F 'Vulkan'. Darn.

Fuck. First post, too

 

[RoadDogg]

PC Update is out, booted it up quick to see if it fixed my dev-mode & missing collectable issue only to find that it has deleted my save all together. They really fucked up the PC version bad some how.

 

[Soodanim]

Can anyone tell me why I don't own this game yet?

 

[Adnor]

Can anyone tell me why I don't own this game yet?

I don't know! It's even 40% off in Steam!

 

[DeathSparks]

Doom update is out on PC, downloading it right now.

 

[QuantumBro]

Patch is just in time for my first playthrough.

Ctrl+F + VIVE = No entries.

Really ?

They've already announced that VR is coming in 2017 along with Fallout.

 

[zyxwvu4321]

Disappointing. Will buy when Vulkan is added.

 

[phant0m]

Fuck it, I have a 10 mile long backlog, I might just replay DOOM instead.

DO IT

 

[Dizzy-4U]

No SLI yet?

Oh man, really? I bought it yeasterday and thought SLI was a given. Serves me right for not doing my homework.

Hell yes!

Downloading now

So far I've only been able to enable the photo mode after specifically choosing a mission rather than continuing my in-progress Nightmare campaign. And even when I got it working, the thing wouldn't let me move the camera around. I saw a message about camera controls being disabled when something is happening but I wasn't in the middle of an animation or anything!

Yooo. This made the game fully playable without crosshairs and it feels AWESOME. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASfF7XSjMSU
Plus, the rocket launcher now looks remarkably phallic and that's also awesome.

I like the sensation of aiming guns "by feel" much more than aligning a cursor. FPS guns should have stayed in the center, where they belong (Quake 2 was a mistake, it's nothing but strogg).

 

[w0s]

No mention of the bullshit exit to desktop randomly?

 

[SOLDIER]

I can't figure out how to enable photo mode.

 

[epmode]

I can't figure out how to enable photo mode.

I couldn't find it until I manually selected a mission with one of my existing saves. Even when I found the option under Settings > Game, the feature didn't work properly (it wouldn't ever let me change the camera angle).

As someone who just purchased DOOM, is center gun mode an actual good way to play the game, or should I stick to original gun placement?

It's cosmetic. Go with what your heart tells you.

As someone who's mind has been trained to use the right-hand side of the screen as a static point of reference, I'd say stick with vanilla.

I don't normally get motion sickness in FPS games, but looking at DOOM with classic gun placement gives me motion sickness since the right-hand side isn't static anymore.

 

[Bishop89]

" Added Classic DOOM weapon placement/view model option (all modes)"

neat!

Woah!


That and Photomode is Awesome

It seems to remove the crosshair, in the original DOOM 1994 there was a lot of aim assist to help you shoot without a crosshair. I have no idea how DOOM 2016 handles no crosshair.

You can have the crosshair and the center aiming.

It doesn't, your regular crosshair settings function normally.

Here it is with the dot

Oh cool.

Damn...just seeing that video makes me want to play it lol

 

[Snacks the sober sea lion]

It's neat. Though I wish they would fix the plasma gun slowing your sensitivity down when you hold M1.
And make the chaingun less-useless in single player.

It's a cool idea but I thought playing like that looked and played quite awkwardly compared to the standard.

i beat the game on UV without crosshairs on my first run. Felt amazing.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Thanks for the answers everyone! I'll stick to vanilla for first playthrough I think.

Wow, I could never do that. You're a lot better at shooters than me haha

 

[Gaogaogao]

Disappointing. Will buy when Vulkan is added.

exactly. my gtx 770 showing its age, and I don't know when I will get a new one. maybe gtx 1060? I hate money.

If you genuinely hate money, get a 1080 and play it in 4K with nearly locked 60 fps.

If you don't have a 4K display or TV, downsample it from 4K.

 

[JackelZXA]

Really glad my first playthrough will have a centered gun. (Need a new gfx card first lol)

Neat! I haven't even considered doing that with modern weapon placement.

Thanks for the answers everyone! I'll stick to vanilla for first playthrough I think.

It's worth checking out the classic mode if you feel nostalgic for the way aiming felt in Doom and Quake. The combat doesn't depend on headshots and centered guns are enough to help you aim more precise weapons with crosshairs disabled.
I'd play the first level both ways and stick with the one that feels more comfortable.

 

[CertifiedFP]

Y'know what...

A CHALLENGE.

Classic weapon view.

No crosshair.

Nightmare.

Classic control scheme like Doom93's default. No mouse. Tank Control movement.

Good luck.

 

[Muskieratboi]

Props to id for fixing a bug that only occurs when the game is running at Stupid-High FPS.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

You shitting me? My game has improved a million times, especially in MP.

I am wrecking people with center placement so bad it feels like hacks.

ha, I hate money because it stands between me and a 1080. I dont have it to lose.

I was on board until the last part.

Naw son

 

[YuShtink]

Pulling out the Super Shotgun with Classic Weapon Placement for the first time just made me grin from ear to ear. It looks so bad ass and it feels so right.

 

[Uriah]

This was an extremely annoying design decision. Made me want to avoid the plasma gun.

Naw son

Then you were never on board. That last part IS the challenge.

 

[Novocaine]

This is the first time I've truly been excited for a photo mode.

I love this game so much. No other game could pull this off and be this awesome.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I've been out of the Doom loop for a bit, but I 100%'d it a while ago and just noticed new achievements. How do you get them?

 

[microtransaction]

I noticed some big red damage markers were added to the campaign, is there any way to turn them off? :\

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

This game man, this game. Centring the weapons? My god, only way that could get better is if they add an option to turn Y axis aiming off.

They also fixed the IDKFA trophy it seems. So when I load up my save file with all mods achieved, it should pop instantly? Hoping that's the case. I stopped playing because I wanted to platinum the beast.
