Doom closed beta

Idk how it works for ps4 I don't see any option to download it since I entered the code over a year ago. :mad:
 
Oh, not sure sbout how console will work. This window is for the PC AFAIK
 
Downloaded it, go to launch it, and it's super choppy just to logging into the game, and the the game hangs at the Bethesda logo, and does nothing except force close.

it works, I didn't realize that Bethesda logo just sits there for like 20 seconds.

Graphics look nothing special at all, I thought this new Doom game was supposed to be running the next gen iD Tech engine, that is supposed to be jaw dropping best ever ? Nope, it seems kind of watered down, and blurry, like the textures were turned down to the lowest settings ?

I am playing it at 3840 x 2160 resolution, maxed out, and the game plays surprisingly smooth, but looks watered down ??

How do we get a code? Anyone have an extra they'd like to donate?
 
If you preordered Wolfenstein: The New Order on Steam, it should show up in your Library automatically. I forgot to check myself, this morning.
 
Just played the BETA, not bad, it's like one of those old school shooters, though I don't think you can pick up any weapons lying on the floor because you have to choose your own class which kinda sucks.

Graphics don't look too bad.

That stupid texture popup is still present but not as bad as IDTech 5 games, but seriously, WTF ID.... I was expecting them to fix this issue yet most of the issues that plagued IDTech5 still remains on this new engine, or is it?

Since Carmack is gone it wouldn't surprise me that this "new" engine is just a branch off of id Tech 5. He was the brains behind their game engines.
 
I'm in the beta, playing at 4k res, and the graphics look surprisingly poor, low res textures, not very detailed. Is this MP Beta purposely water down graphics wise or something ?

I've been playing a lot of Skyrim again, due to my new 4k monitor, and wow Skyrim looks super detailed, and tons more texture detail, very life like graphics. Whereas this Doom BETA looks much worse than the 5 year old Skyrim.

Won't even keep my settings I change so I cannot even play the game as is. I like a different keyboard layout, and those changes don't stick. Now the game is playing in small box on my big 40" monitor, the graphics settings changes don't work. Seems like an alpha not a beta.

Just got the beta notification message on my ps4. It's dated the 30th yet I checked last night and this morning and it wasn't there. Just incase other ps4 users were wondering.

10.86gb on ps4



edit: Played for about 10mins not impressed.

I hope Doom has a single player CoOp mode ? That's the kind of multiplayer I like in this style of game.

If I wanna play team deathmatch I like it big with vehicles, Battlefield.

Coop would be awesome. I think i'm going to wait till it's on sale just to play the single player.
 
You would have known I forgot to go to gamestop and I was right next door today!

Anyone actually playing this?

I did for maybe 10 minutes. Personally I find Deathmatch gaming to be so 1990's and dated. Graphics are worse than Skyrim ( a 5 yr old game )

I'm only interested in this game for single player, and hopefully CoOp.
 
I played two games, one team deathmatch and one capture the point. I had fun since going in, I had no expectation. If you want mindless fun, this is it. I just wish they would have left the leveling and perks out of it. I would love just a pure mp experience. No levels, no perks, no nothing. Just go in and frag, frag, frag!!!! :D
 
on pc if you at having issues with key bindings I've found that if you go to where it's already binded bind it again to that and it will unbind it and then you should be able to bind it somewhere else....make sense lol?

I noticed this too and it's very strange. Also no reload key?

typically multiplayer is watered down graphics to start off with but developers tend to water down fake beta's(fake as in they claim it's a beta but it's basically the final product they'll release anyways) by having the highest graphic settings actually be the medium settings so that they have something to market when they release the final product. DICE was notorious for doing this with the battlefield beta's.

Thank the crappy underpowered consoles for the graphics sucking. Anyway, maybe they suck because this is a beta and not what we're going to see in the release version.
 
Tried to play. Alpha worked fine; Beta crashes at the Bethesda video on bootup. Uninstalled

I had the same issue and did a search and set this at my launch option and it worked.

This didn't work for me, but if I just let the videos play til the main menu shows up it works just fine.
 
I enjoyed it. Felt kind of like UT, but without vehicles. It felt like DooM to me.
I don't believe for one second though that they are the final graphics.
 
I felt the same way about Black Ops III but when it came to the finished game it was great.
 
Played it for a few hours but it didn't do it for me. The wepons damage need tunning (a rocket to the teeth does 55 damage, a shotgun shot ~6x, GG!), the pacing is kinda meh (seemd slower than UT pre alpha, not to mention Q4). Was debating on preordering it, based on this beta, for me, it's a no go.
