DOOM: the new official source port - now on PC! (First impressions)



Here's another half-wanted video where I take a look at some of the changes to the official DOOM source port available on consoles and mobiles. It has just received an official PC version via the Bethesda.net launcher. Some additional things were included that I had to look at too. It's not really a bad way to play DOOM on the PC for the first time, but some tweaks could be made to win some of the more purist types and a little picky individuals like me.

My apologies for the mistakes I made in this video, they were made in no time. I will add other clarifications in this description if necessary, in addition to probably pinning a particularly important message in the comments, so you may be able to check them in the future in addition to my messages in the community.

  4. I mean I already own the original versions on Steam and use GZDoom to play them, but I'll probably buy these anyway because I'm a fool and I will never not buy Doom.

  7. WHY still spend money to big corporates while all the real work and quality comes from enthusiastic individuals that put HOURS of work in their passion? Fuck Bethesda.

  9. Gotta love the thinking behind the censorship here. Satanic imagery and demonic entities? Sure, whatever. Nazis and swasticas? BAN THIS GAME IMMEDIATELY

  10. The mobile versions suck, because the controls are way worse than the original port that Carmack worked on.

  13. Why not have a separate version for countries with freedom of speech laws that tolerate friendship windmills?

  14. Hueueueue... I'll stick with ZDoom for my current, lackluster hardware and financial situation.
    (I possibly could run LZDoom but GZDoom is out of the question)

  17. So wait... a red cross is considered offensive, even though it's literally the universal symbol of "help/health", but a pill is ok, basically saying "do drugs, it will help!". Fuck you, Bethesda. Get woke, go broke.

  18. Lol I can’t believe they censored doom again.

  19. "censored as heck"... The irony in censoring yourself saying "hell" when complaining about censorship

  20. Ugh... Please tell me, to a generic sane human. WHY in a hell should I buy buggy bootlegged almost 30 years old doom game when I could just get official version of it for free by downloading it off the webs? Original game devs, including Romero, Adrian, McGee, Peterson, and otuer bros are probably won't get a peny anyway from Bethesda. Just pirate the shiits so the Howard can suck a big one, jesus fuсk.

  21. Oh wow, Bethesda found another thing to screw up, that's actually kind of impressive.

  22. I actually don't mind if it was pills symbol for health pickups instead of red cross.

  23. I honestly didn’t think they’d fix the weapon switching on the console editions, before you had to bumper over to the weapon you want and sit through every weapon animation on the way there. Now there is a cueing function with icons for bumper switching and the Dpad has weapons too. Namely, up for shotty (double shotty priority in Doom II/Final Doom) right for Chaingun, down for rocket, and left for plasma. You can essentially instantly get to the weapon you want using these two systems in tandem like PC. Also really happy that 16:10 isn’t the default aspect ratio anymore. Also, they incorporated random pitch as an option for people who want it (me, pls shoot me) and they added fist switching, a non vanilla option, but very appreciated.

  24. Does anyone here remember Skulltag? It was a really good source port and had a big multiplayer community.
