PS4 Doom

I just want to  know what people think of Doom on PS4

 

Are you talking about Doom 2016? Also known as Doom 4. Or are you talking about the older games or even Doom 64?

 

I played a little of Doom on PS4 but I just cannot use a controller for faster games like Doom. Something a bit slower like Fallout 4 is okay with a controller but I'm just too used to a keyboard and a mouse for FPS games and using a controller just doesn't feel right. I think Doom 2016 runs great on PS4. I play it on my PC and it's at 1080 resolution with mostly medium settings and even though it doesn't look as nice or as sharp as on my PS4 I prefer to play that way.

I like the liquid like controls it has, i would say it controls almost like the 1993 release for Ms dos, Not only that but it's cool to finally be able to play a console port of it,

 

i noticed a few things about it that i think are kinda strange:

 

Every so often i'll shotgun a imp but it takes more then 1 shot to kill it, even if i'm at point blank range.

Also the Pinkies seem to be faster then the PC counterpart (i tested it on all difficulties and it seems like HMP is a exception)

Considering the question - what other Doom classic is on PS4 anyway? None. - and where it was made, what do you think? It can only be the Unity port.

That's RNG for you.

 

As for OP, they're by far the best modern console port of classic Doom. They were pretty bad at launch with the mandatory internet connection, and they also inherited the worst bugs of the previous console ports, but they are quite good nowadays. If Nightmare difficulty also gets fixed, they'll be just perfect for consoles - this is actually on sponge's list.

Well no because the question was: "I just want to know what people think of Doom on PS4", and to me that could be either Doom 1993, Doom II, Final Doom, Doom 64 or even Doom 2016. Doubt it's Doom Eternal as the OP would surely have said Doom Eternal.

And also created it elsewhere.

Mostly the fact that 99% of the time people refer to a single game as Doom on this forum, they’re referencing Classic/Ultimate Doom.

 

You’re making this more complicated than it needs to be. XD

Most times when people are talking about the original game from 1993 the say Ultimate Doom so that's why I was asking what Doom the person who created this thread was referring to. It's not complicated at all.

I was more talking about DOOM 1 and DOOM 2 but I do agree with what you said

@Silver Fox I wasn't intentionally being pedantic, I was genuinely curious as to which game you were talking about.

 

What do you think about Doom on PS4? I haven't played that specific version but I hear it's been patched and the issues the game had at launch have been fixed. I play Classic Doom on my laptop mostly using Z-Doom so there's no real reason for me to get the games again on PS4.

 

How do games like Doom look on PS4? Specifically on a 4K TV?

I play older Doom games at 720 resolution. I think any higher than that and it doesn't look right. Doom, Doom II, Final Doom or Doom 64 would look weird at 4K I think.

4K Doom is not the same Doom

Nothing in the original poster's question indicates it's Doom 1993 they're talking about. Why do you automatically presume it is that?

I play PS4 DOOM, and to tell a little secret, I can only play FPS's with a controller. I feel like a keyboard is too clunky, and I am awful at using one (Except for Portal for some reason, I don't know why, but I am really good with Portal on a PC). I think a lot of people didn't enjoy it until its update, but I thought it was fine.

Same I come from PS4 and are moving to PC, but I still use a controller

This is why the reboot should have been called Doom 4.

 

No, because canonically speaking it's set after the events of Doom 64, not Doom 3.

 

That would've only stoked the flames.

I feel like people were mad at the Bethesda port simply because of the lighting. it was much more than that, it gave new audiences (including myself) a look at this wonderful series. it's like classical music in cartoons. it revealed to children the greatness of people like Bache, and got them interested in the music. in this case, the PS4 is the cartoon, and DOOM is the music.

Well Initially we all know what it was like but now.... as  lifelong console gamer .....It's the best port of Doom I've ever owned.

I agree, but I'm still moving to PC to get my runs down

Fair play, I've never been much of a PC player though I've dabbled here and there. I started out with Doom on PS1 then on 360 and now PS4. 

 

Well done again on that 13 seconds, You've got way more patience than me.

I experience a noticable input delay on PS4 Doom and Doom II.

 

It's really gutting! I have been through both base games on UV but as for Sigil, Final Doom, BTSX and some of the master levels, I haven't even attempted to play them. Strafe-running is virtually impossible to do effectively D:

 

It's like 2006 again with those early HDTVs with 100ms~ of lag, only I'm using a fairly modern gaming monitor with only 11ms of input lag.
