Hate is temporary, love is temporary, pain is temporary, bliss is temporary, life itself is temporary,

Doom is eternal.

Game is cracked. Bathesda left a denuvo-less exe in the game's install folder under the name "Original"

(lmao)

@iampasha Requirements were bloated. GTX 1650 was listed as minimum for 1080p60 at Low settings and its over 60fps at High settings all the time.

Downloaded and tried a few mins. Some thoughts.

- The requirements are definitely bloated. My laptop 1060 (max Q even) is able to do 1080p/60 FPS at the "High" preset. Granted I only did the first 15 minutes, went through the first combat arena etc. There were some drops at the start of the first 'open' area but I imagine those can very easily be ironed out by some settings management.

- The game has a dynamic resolution scaling option but it doesn't exactly work that well. Enabling it makes the game run at lower resolutions more often than they should and makes it look more blurry as a result.

I ran the game at 1440p with scaler on to target 60 FPS, the game has very extensive performance metrics. It showed that at 1440p, the game was routinely dropping to 58~60% of 1440p. Which is give or take around ~900p. This was me standing still in an open area with volumetrics etc. I turned off dynamic scaling and ran the game at native 1080p and it ran the same zones without dropping a single frame from 60.

Not sure what's going on there but the dynamic scaling is way too aggressive for it's own good.

I tested all this without the game ready drivers, so who knows things might be different when I try with the appropriate drivers.

Played the first 4 missions. There are actual cut-scenes and proper lore in this which seems weird lol.

The game play is basically Doom 2016 on steroids with a lot of platforming.

Although I can't take screenshots, print screen results in all-black and FRAPS straight up doesn't work with the game, any alternatives ?


Also, platforming on mouse and keyboard ?

1800p XBX, 1440p Pro, 1080p PS4, 900p XBO

All consoles use dynamic scaling to maintain performance and do a pretty decent job.

Chandoo forgot to post it so here goes.

Higher resolution and more stable frame rates on the One X compared to Pro.


Still, Doom on a controller......

^ DF video is 2 posts above :p

Doom on controller :wub:

This game has more platforming than your typical Uncharted game, all that on KB+Mouse will become grating real quick, I'm telling you.

^Not the VG Tech video :p

Its not like you played the Doom game without all that platforming on a mouse/kb anyway so kind of hard to take that advice seriously :p

Regardless, its friggin Doom and you're always in first person perspective so controller will always be a subpar choice. Now games like Ori, an actual platformer, I finished them entirely on a controller because I don't see any meaningful benefits from a keyboard setup.

Half Life still seems far away, and got done with Ori earlier than I anticipated.

So let's rip and tear for the time being.


Soooo grating :p

I don't know how i feel about the game showing so many third person cut-scenes with Doom Slayer. Kinda takes from the mystique.

The first person cut-scenes are equally effective at conveying the story without needing to show the Slayer.
