PS4 version is sublime.
Wolfenstein was my GOTY 2014 and this is making me feel a similar way. The old school meets new balance is really well handled and one level in particular could fit into Wolfenstien perfectly
a level where you cross a bridge and up a tower.
Still curious how it'll review.

Have review codes gone out now that the game is technically out?

I played the alpha on XB1 and it was just fine! It actually handled really well. Though I prefer KB/M.

I'm impressed so far. Just got through the intro.
It's nice when a developer makes a game for me

When can I disconnect from the VPN? Once I've started the game?

Man, I had totally forgot about this. DN3d was such a dumb, great game.

So as someone who really likes Halo, Unreal Tournament, Resistance 1 but never played Doom, is this a hard shooter to get into? Looks fun but not sure if it's for a particular crowd.
Switch Steam to Offline Mode before disconnecting.

I'm sure this has been asked a ton but is the Xbox version OK? I'm fine with 900p or lower res than PS4, I just can't do screen tearing. gotta have the elite controller for this tbh.
are there any comparisons out there for consoles?

Asking this question for a friend: do you have to connect online to play the campaign?
PC version? Maybe the first time you launch the game. After that, you're good.
Consoles, I doubt it'll matter.

So the game overall isn't the glorious amazing perfect 10 product, but it's probably the best Id game overall since Doom 2. It's very very good even if the hit feedback isn't as strong as I'd like it to be. Perhaps we'll be able to shoot off the arms of a Mancubus in the next game.
Also you go really fast when you have the upgrades for it, and at that point it's pretty hard not to call it a worthy Doom Game especially when you're doing mid air turnarounds and blowing things to pieces with the gauss cannon. Not to mention the rather nice mick gordon sound track, though I'm somewhat disappointed following the KI killer cuts. That being said, the dynamic escalation is always neat. It's probably going to be the shooter of the year unless something comes out of nowhere like Splatoon.
Glory kills aren't nearly as intrusive as they seem to appear, animations are snappy enough to make it work. I like the large number of animations they seem to have, even death animations are nice.
Even if the multiplayer seems to be a bit of a mess, the single player looks quite solid to purchase on its own.

I'm getting conflicting reports about being able to start on Nightmare difficulty. Someone with the PC version said you could but people with the console versions are saying it's greyed out?
Could anyone with the PS4 version please let me know if Nightmare is available right from the get go?
Would really suck to have to go through the game on Ultra-Violence just to unlock Nightmare.

Wondering if I should pick up this or Uncharted 4. The big question is how does this compare to Wolfenstein The New Order? Because I idolise that game.
Edit: Can't believe reviews aren't out yet. I know this happens quite often but this is the first time it's happened to a game I care about.

Think Wolfenstein's slick and fun combat with few if any of the issues. I greatly enjoyed Uncharted 4, but Doom brings me back in some ways and it's really exciting in others. It's a joyful blend of modern and older design that works well with each other.
You might not be nearly as enthralled by the narrative since its so out of the way, but the gameplay is really frikin good man.
People say the X1 version has tearing
Apparently fixed with day one patch.
I went ahead and got both because it is inevitable.
Uncharted 4 comes after though. I've been waiting for a new DOOM for years.
Indeed
Oh, nevermind then

Fuck I really wanna play this but I'm so broke.
been playing for a bit now. I've resisted the urge to unlock the scanning upgrades but I missed one secret despite exploring as best I could.
playing it myself reinforces how much I don't understand how they've shown off this game until now. The initial reveal should have shown what the game is like on ultraviolence with mouse and keyboard controls. This doesn't even feel like the same game as the terrible multiplayer alpha/beta I played on PS4.
but yeah I'm ok with this so far.

For those who have the game on Steam and want the reversible cover as a image for grid view, just found this:
Oh cool, thanks. Not a fan of twitter compression so I'm going to make my own, but thanks for the idea.
Are you sure you're not just looking at a flyer for Season Pass? Does it have Dishonored 2 advertised on the back?

But...Doom has never been about any of these things
You are confusing it with Quake.

Damn I should not have read this thread as I am really, really trying to beat Uncharted 4 first (On Chapter 18), as I just do not want to play 2 games at the same time, but I feel like I cannot resist playing this game tomorrow.
AND I have it on both the PS4 and PC. Basically I thought I would hold off on my new Gaming PC until my Oculus arrived, but I did not, and I just could not play Doom on the console if I had a capable Gaming PC. Problem was I already preordered it digitally.
So ID can thank me for two purchases. Shame as I might not even touch the PS4 version, but I do own it.
FUCK. Going to be so hard not checking it out.
