DOOM 1 + 2 on Steam (and NS/Xbox/PS) has been upgraded with new re-release

Curiously today the game seems to have a lot more options including ultrawide and improved textures etc. not to mention a plethora of mods (still not Project Brutality :( )

Edit: ok so not all mods work. I tried zombies! and that one started fine. Man i want my Army of Darkness and Aliens fix...

You need both Doom 1 and 2 to get the free update (or buy it standalone). The new episode is exclusive to the new release
I actually had to search in the store for it and there it said it was a free download, since I owned Doom 2 (I have both but I think you need to own only one digitally).

It let me add them to my library for free on the PS app. So yay for that. Too bad I'm among those affected by the nasty storm in NE Ohio and have had no power since Tuesday. Likely won't get it back until this Wednesday.

Doom is the just about the only FPS game I actually like.

We can expect John from DF to look after this. Anyone with NS care to tell if run any good?

The PS4 runs flawless.

I bought Doom 2 for the PS5 in the PSN sale for around £2 ages ago.

Now I'm getting a ton of additional content, including Doom 1 for absolutely no extra charge.

Pinch me, because I must be dreaming!

Removing historically accurate depictions due to...what exactly? Even back then it was "offensive". Swastikas were never cool, it was always a frowned upon symbol but we never removed it from media because its culturally relevant and part of our history. How does a Swastika get so piled on but lets say a Pentagram...a demonic symbol that should offend anyone religious, stay the same? And the mustache lol....just WHY??? Skibidi tilet is more offensive than this.

Mario "inspired" Commander Keen, it has nothing to do with Catacombs 3D, Wolfenstein 3D or Doom
Yeah but if remember Nintendo would t let them port Mario to pc so they said fuck it and made wolf then doom.

Either way doom is up there as one of the best and influential games ever. Quake as well. I love id from back in the day. Great stuff

For final clarification: does this game require Bethesda login? If it is optional, what does it provide?
Optional unless you want mods.

And is it just me or is something wrong with the bethesda.net auto login in the ps4 version? I need to sign in manualy every time i launch the game and everytime i am greeted with an error message in the bethesda menu 🤔

I looked into the Wolfenstein censorship, and apparently it's something that started with the BFG edition's releases.

Wiki page: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/MAP31:_Wolfenstein_(Doom_II)#Censorship
Fix that also gives some possible insight into why: https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?t=53776&

The thread does mention compatibility issues, and I don't know where this new version of Doom falls on that scale.
Good find. I don't know why we have to tip toe around shooting Nazis in video games.

I don't quite understand whats going on in wolfeinstein maps.

You don't get any trophy to reach or beat those two secret maps, they replace the nazi icons for not offend the real nazis I suppouse?

Is totally mess up. Are we getting at this point?

This is superb. Of course 1080p/120fps locked at silent profile on the Ally X. It’s like playing Doom for the first time again, with the widescreen support. Fantastic.

For the switch I can’t see any custom mods or maps only the official ones. I hope they open it up.

This looks buggy to me -- seems like imps, pinkies and maybe others (only seen those two so far) can hop down from ledge heights they are not supposed to. Nice music, though.

Pretty sure there is a bug with berserk in that after the visual effect wears off, you can still punch things dead in one go.

Or maybe it’s just me because I’m hard as nails?
