I played the first two a lot (and bought the third - which I need to at least give a re-install on the Anniversary Update; I still have all three CDs it came on and all the docs).  Will there be an actual demo of this one, though?

This is 1 of the 4 games that makes this possibly the single best 30 days in releases that I can remember in a very, very long time. Needless to say this is my own personal opinion and based on my personal preferences and tastes in video games. But starting next week, I cannot remember a 30 day period that has so many games I have been very much looking forward to playing.


In case anyone is wondering, in no particular order, the reason I feel this is perhaps the best 30 day period in releases that I can remember is because of:

  1. Uncharted 4 (May 10th)
  2. Doom 4 (May 15th)
  3. Overwatch (May 24th)
  4. Mirror's Edge Catalyst (June 7th) 

It also really helps I finally have a new Gaming PC that I got about 2 weeks ago. A 980Ti GPU combined with a 27" G-Sync enabled 2160 x 1440 resolution monitor really has reinvigorated my love, and preference, for PC gaming. 3 out of the 4 games, including Doom, I will be playing on my new PC, so it also very much feels like I am "back" to PC Gaming while taking a way longer break that I should have.

 

Cannot wait for the 13th. Already Pre-ordered for the PC.

The audio/music is distracting.

Far from it - the music is based on the music from the original Doom of 23 years ago - it's wonderful to hear it again.

 

(Yes, I know Bobby Prince basically ripped off a load of metal songs at the time, but I associate that music with Doom as that's where I heard it first!)

I dusted off my DOOM 3 copy (and yes - it does work on Windows 10); the thing is it's been so long I need to dust off my Game Guide for it (yes - I actually do still have it; trade-sized PRIMA Game Guide typical of its day).

The delay for reviews has me a bit worried, but how can you really fluff up DOOM? I'll probably still wait for the inevitable bargain bin price in ~1 month.

There's really nothing to worry about IMO, the game is great. Worlds better than DOOM 3. It's still early days, so my opinion could change, but I doubt it will. I hope we see a sequel or standalone expansion ala Wolf: The Old Blood, very soon!

What terrible timing, my monitor just bit the dust. :( Guess i wont be able to play this one for a week or so.

Oooof.  May want to consider an ACER B286HK for a replacement.
