will you give it a try?
>Demo is the first level
Way to shoot yourselves in the foot, iD. The first level sucks ass. Should've been like the 4th or 5th level.
why would i not
good way to not sell the game, the first level was boring as fuck and made me want to refund it until I saw some gameplay of a later level
Yes, actually.
Havent bought it yet.
Nice to get a demo in this day and age, even if it is temporary.
>>340990002
>E3
>Release demo of a game that's already out
wew lad
>>340990331
legit should've done foundry and included a bunch of extra guns
>>340990002
Should've been the E3 level they showed off last year, the one with the lava
It actually has Hell Knights and sums up the gameplay nicely. IE non-linear, arena style combat, exploration.
>>340990662
Dying Light did the same thing releasing a demo of the game almost a year after it came out.
I'm downloading it right now. I don't exactly have 60 bucks to drop on the game (plus I'd have to be seriously desperate to actually buy a sub-15-hour singleplayer shooter for 60 bucks) but I'm hyped regardless. Bummer that it's apparently not a good level, though.
>releasing a free demo is now news worthy of mentioning at an e3 presentation
fuck, we've fallen far
Does it actually come with the floppies?
Might as well since I can download it in 15-20 minutes rather than 2 weeks. I've never done free weekends or any of that crap due to having such shit Internet before.
>putting Denuvo on my computer when I might not even buy the full game afterward
>beth deserving a positive light for advertising a DEMO as a SPECIAL OCCASION for ONE FUCKING WEEK
nah, fuck this
if i see a friend having fun i'll make a spending decision on my own
but I'm not saddling myself with DRM bloat for the rest of my computer's life
and definitely not going to tell them it's okay to make demos that aren't available forever a positive idea
>>340990798
>Foundry
That one would definitely help the game.
I would, but I might as well just play my copy of the game.
Not wasting bandwidth and HDD writes on this.
>free demo
They've outdone themselves
I already beat Doom like 3 days ago.
can we get more guns in singleplay at least, or at least make the chain saw an actual weapon and not a gimmick
>>340990002
>Demo
>can only be launched for a limited time/limited number of times
Why is this becoming acceptable
>>340990002
Sure, I've got a PS4 and nothing to lose. I already know I won't like it as much as the original DOOM but I might as well give it a try.
>>340992741
Probably because they figured out too many people download the demo, play it 50 times and then never buy the actual game and wanted to squeeze some more money out of people.
I used to do that all the time in the early 360 days.
>>340990662
nintendo did that with pikmin 3.
>>340992934
Demos used to be everywhere. You could get them from magazines. Most Xbox games had demos for other games. Microsoft set out Exhibition Discs with 8 different games on there to try and there were like 4+ volumes. Hell, even movies came with demos on them. People expected you to play it 50 times.
I don't like this modern business model.
>>340992137
still not as awful as jacking up the fucking price of the season pass by $20 entire dollars.
>>340990002
I want Doom but I don't want to pay full price. Will wait for the chirstmas sale.
Downloading it now. Halfway done. Pretty curious to see how my PC handles it since it's the most current game I've ever tried to play on it.
For some reason my 770 is chocking on the demo. Youtube vids show it running near 60 on high where I'm barely managing 30 with no enemies onscreen
>>340993572
I still have some of those old PS1/PS2 demo discs, they were great. I miss that you can't get samplers like that anymore. What's even worse than the lack of demos these days are the ones that are literally "here's the tutorial level from the game". Might as well not give me anything at that point.
So where the fuck is the demo on Steam?
>>34099124
Releasing a demo period is basically E3 worthy, outside of alpha's/beta's publishers don't want you to know that they're selling you garbage before you buy it.
>>340992934
i bought Odin Sphere specifically because the demo let me play as all 5 characters as much as I wanted.
hell Binary Domain on the 360 I ran out and preordered because the demo was so good, and that ended up as my GOTY that year.
>>340994610

>>340994778
Thank you, I feel like a fucking idiot now.
>>340994778
Does this one have graphics settings? I could barely run the beta and it wouldn't let me change anything.
>>340990002
>1 level
>short as fuck and not very interesting
>30gb download
i bought it and the whole campaign while not completely terrible is really short in itself, just wait till the whole game is like 10 or 15 dollarydoos
>>340993572
PS1 demo discs were the shit, sure i played those demos a bunch of times and never bought the game but I was a kid who had no chance in hell of being able to get every single game that I played a demo of and liked.
Now you just have to bite the bullet and hope it's not shit.
>>340990331
Real talk. Most of the people that will download the demo are seeing if their toaster can run it at all.
Alright, I started downloading this.
So in 10 minutes when I start playing this, am I going to be mildly disappointed or extremely disappointed?
>>340995443
>10 minutes
>demo is over 5 gigs
how the fuck
fuck you you piece of shit
>>340995579
100 Mbps connection, currently getting 9.6 MB/sec on Steam.
If there's one benefit to living in my parent's basement, it's that my computer is close enough to the router that I can get a wired connection.
>>340995579
Not that anon but my speed was at 30mbps for about 4gb and I have no idea why.
>>340990662

>>340996135
Upgrade your toaster dude, 720 are dirt cheap.
>>340990002
i cant run it
>>340995976
I live in the Midwest too.
Charter gives me good speeds, the penalty is that once every couple of months the internet doesn't work for a day.
>>340996289
I might get that $200 amd card next.
How long is the first level?
>>340996463
Good idea, AMD usually has the best bang for the buck in the GPU market.
can't run it, too bad~
>>340992934
>Probably because they figured out too many people download the demo, play it 50 times and then never buy the actual game and wanted to squeeze some more money out of people.
I spent years playing BF2 and Halo CE this way before actually buying the full games.
>Shareware = Demo
>Can't actually share it around
what?
>>340996693
the Halo multiplayer demo on PC had a community for the longest time. Just the fucking demo.
>>340995029
>tfw you could probably rebuild the Shadow Moses heliport molecule by molecule because you spent an insane amount of time playing the demo that was on a demo disk you had
Seriously, that demo was 2 rooms of content and I probably played it 200 fucking times.
the next Doom should just use the Devil Daggers engine and have that aesthetic.
Why make it temporary?
>free demo
we /early 2000s again/
>>340997131
Correct
>>340997131
Maybe they'll announce later that it is sticking around permanently and people will applaud them even more.
>>340997163
No, in the early 2000s you didn't have a self destruct timer on your demo install.
>>340996782
shit nigga I played that shit for MONTHS
it's not like anyone played anything other than Bloodgulch anyway
>Hey guys remember shareware? When you'd get the first bit of the game and it would have a time limit on it and then your floppy disks would combust and you'd be left with no demo and had to buy the game to play it again?
No, I actually don't remember that, Pete.
I actually did try it and was surprised it managed to hold 60 on my GTX 570. Was gonna wait to get my hands on an RX 480 but I might just buy it now even if I have to play on lowest.
>>340991761
Yes anon, all 3472, just as Romero and Carmack would have wanted it.
>>340992632
Making the chainsaw an ammo resource tool was fantastic imo. Added a slight layer of strategy in terms of how and when you want to deploy it.
Well, I played through it.
Glory Kills aren't nearly as annoying as they look, and they're kind of satisfying to do, even after replaying a level several times. They flow incredibly well with the combat, which flows pretty well as whole. I never felt like I was giving up control.
Why they only let us have the shotgun/pistol, I will never know. If I didn't know shit about this game/series, I'd assume the weapons were nothing to write home about.
Seems like they did a good job bringing the spirit of the originals into the modern age, for the most part.
Played on Ultraviolence, and the game was nice and tough. Didn't let me through without a fight.
Found a little doomguy action figure, and apparently there's more I missed. Doesn't seem like the game takes itself seriously, which is great.
There seems to be a general emphasis, from a design perspective, on forward momentum. Nothing really slows the game down, even in terms of narrative bits/cutscenes, which are really quick and don't get in the way of anything.
>>340990331
It's freeware bro

Played it
Loved it
Will buy it when it goes on sale!
>>340997992
I just played it as well, on Ultraviolence.
The game wasn't difficult, but it was enjoyable.
My only big complaint is that the game really wants you to do glory kills, so stunned enemies still have a decent amount of HP left (they can take several more pistol shots to kill).
>>340990002
Wii u version when?
>>340998680
If you could suggest another site where I can talk about video games without too much bullshit, please let me know ASAP so I can get out of this shithole
everywhere else is worse
>>340999518
I also noticed that often, pickups for encounters seemed to be balanced around the assumption that a player would do glory kills. I mean, it's hard not to, but it's noticeable.
It was also frustrating that the shotgun had the effective range of of a muffled sneeze.
>>340999913
I didn't mind the shotgun range that much because I found it enjoyable to leap on enemies before blasting them, but yeah, balancing the game around glory kills is shitty, it would have been nice if those were turned off on the higher difficulties.
Also I wish you could carry more shotgun ammo, 20 rounds is pretty fucking shitty, by both new FPS and old FPS standards.
I just did. My graphics card is to shit and only runs it at 30ish FPS on medium. Will wait until I upgrade and until there is a sale.
I finished the demo on PC.
Holy shit this is so high octane, I need more
>>341000232
you can upgrade your total shotgun ammo pool to like 60 rounds or something like that
>>341000232
Now that you mention it, I was doing a lot of the same thing. Might have been an intentional design decision to get players up close and moving around like that. Leaping on them was fun.
The 20 rounds was annoying, I agree.
>>341000378
>upgrade
Yeah, I heard you can upgrade move speed and other shit like that.
Fucking stupid.
Don't you get 100 shells in the original Doom?
Literal downgrade.
>>340990002
i already redboxed Doom on PS4, it was super fucking rad.
i downloaded the demo on my PC but my aging processor can't keep up. Oh well.
>>340990002
>being hyped for post-release demo
>they're still calling it DOOM
I hope everyone working for Bethesda gets cancer and dies.
>>341000624

Just call this one NuDoom
>>341000471
>Yeah, I heard you can upgrade move speed and other shit like that.
no, whoever told you that is a fucking retard
you only upgrade your total ammo, health and armor.

I've spent over 100 hours in Snapmap now. Its deserving of a lot of criticism but its kinda fun in a 'I built this sand castle' sort of way.
>>340990002
Maybe to see how it runs, not many devs do demo in this age so I should at least show interest.
>>341001830
>still no actual modding tools
Fuck Bethesda, the god damn fucking jews.
We could have made a real Doom out of this piece of shit.
>>340990002
remember when demos were auto included and free forever not 1 week?
hell buying old gamer magazines would give you demos to upcoming games.
>>340990002
We have shit internet out in the countryside but I`m dl this and playing the shit out of it before the week is over and it doesn`t immerse me anymore. Idc how short it is or how bad it is compared to the later levels in the game.
>>340990002
For sure. I wanted to pirate it in the first place to see if I could run it, but now I don't have to wait for some shitty crack a year later.
Every AAA game under the sun should do this.
>>341001320
As opposed to 30FPS on lowest settings on a toaster? You people are pathetic.

>>341003995
That's a game timer. You can replay that for a million years.
Doom locks your account forever once its one time usage timer hits 0.
It's ok when Nintendo does it
>>340994203
Lower the AA to smaa, lower the resolution to if you need to.
>>340990002
Yes.
I'v never played a Doom game before and this caughtt my eye recently.

Having a PC that runs worse than a PS4 is, for gaming purposes, the same as not having a PC.

>>340994946
Yeah you get all the options.
Speaking of which, I can get 60 fps except when there's fog or mist in the room, like the first big fight with the imps before you go outside. That takes me down to 30, but once I'm outside I'm fine again.
What setting controls the fog quality? I need to set that to lowest.

>plus I'd have to be seriously desperate to actually buy a sub-15-hour singleplayer shooter for 60 bucks
It's 12-14hrs per playthrough, I've just finished my first though and I'm not even partially done with the game. Still have most of the levels are unexplored and most secrets not found. I'm sure I'll get 25-30hrs out of it when I'm done, which seems reasonable for $60. Just the base experience was pretty good for $60, really great art, music and gameplay. Pic related

Denuvo is the best kind of DRM, it does little to impact paying customers(All those claims of it killing SSDs are false, plus that was an old version anyway) and pretty much only hurts pirates.

>no mods
yeah nah
>>341007087

unless you like modding your game of course. but they told you they're doing everything for modders! as long as your mods are made using their in game modding tool.

It also locks you into a hardware configuration. Adding or removing parts (You know, the biggest benefit for getting a PC) often will leave you locked out of your game.
>>341008087
what shithole are you from?
Looks like I was right. It's a 20 dollar game.
Sure it keeps me moving more than most shooters these days. But I'm not really thinking. I don't go into a room and immediately formulate a plan because the enemy has no way to force you to prioritize.
is this shit also drm infested and do I need to have steam installed to play it?

>>341012427
I've had to replay most levels right after beating them once to go find all the secrets. Some of them are kinda clever, most are just annoying.
The basic combat is fun though so I'm not butthurt about having to do it again for completion.
What in the holy mother of fuck?
>normies friends that were interested in the game now are avoiding it
I would have loved for doom to come back to popularity but the game sucks more ass than a fag at the pulse club in orlando
so far only literal nu-shooter fags like this new doom
why
it's really stupid to release a demo AFTER release and only for a limited time, but since it's Denuvo I'll probably try it all the same.
>>340991106
You do realise that you can get it for 30 bucks on keysites right?
>>340994203
770 here I get 80+ frames on high preset with rare drop to 40 frames in intese lighting
>>341013502
I don't know if it's true, but there's a reason why devs won't release demos like others did back in the day. Apparently, with demos it's easier to crack the game.
>>340995945
>The way they handle video games are so retarded nowadays
But they sell more than they ever did, these days you don't need to have a good game to sell. You just need to hype people up and convince them to pre-order.
>>341013502
It might be pretty smart actually
Demos can actually make people less likely to buy games
So they wait for the first few weeks (when the majority of copies are sold), then release the demo to draw in people that wouldn't have bought it anyway
>>341010453
>who the fuck thought that glory kills in multiplayer was a good idea?
>why is the rocket launcher so fuck overpowered?
Halo developers
>>341013867
Sounds like a bullshit reason to me. Devs these days blame half of their shitty practices on piracy because it's convenient.
>>341007087
>IT DOESN"T COUNT CUZ IT WAS AN OLD VERSION)))))))))))9999999 XDDD
Fuck off child.
>>341014117
Yep, that's how it is, "MUHH SALES ARE AFFECTED BY THE PIRATESSS!!!"
>>341013867
What I've heard is that demos don't equal more sales, so most publishers just stopped putting resources for that.
>>341014070
yeah but that only works if it's a Denuvo game.
Before Denuvo I would always pirate games to see if I liked them.
I would download games I would not otherwise play and if I liked them I would buy them that same day.
I'm not going to buy a game I haven't played if I'm only on the fence about it.
When Denuvo started getting used I wasn't compelled to by these games I was unsure about, I just didn't play them at all.
If I was always going to buy it i.e MGSV I bought it, if I was unsure i.e Lords of the Fallen I ignored it outright.
I still haven't played or bought Lords of the Fallen.
Now with DOOM I did the same, ignored it all up until this point because I don't want to spend the money first (even with steam refunds as they are).
So this demo may earn them a sale from me.
tl,dr if publishers want to use denuvo, they need to start putting out demos again. People won't buy games just because they can't pirate them.
>>341014232
Demos can equal more sales, if the demo is good. So any game that doesn't have a demo (i.e. most of them, now) automatically seems like the developers have no confidence in it.
>>340990002
no not a big fan of fps games
I'm playing it right now on Ultraviolence.
I'm enjoying it fair bit. I think I'll pick it up when it gets a decent discount considering I won't be playing the multiplayer.
>>341014389
There's also the problem that demos can be the very best the game has to offer while the rest is pure shit. Like the demo being a level made especially to be the demo, while the rest of the levels are boring and nothing similar.
>>341014907
This desu fampai
Just tried it out on max difficulty available
Jesus christ this game is shit. You just shot 3 shotgun shells from short range into an enemy? Wait, it's not finished, you have to enter a short cinematic called GLORY KILL!
Wanna shoot someone from very close range as you walk by because you don't have time to shoot? Lol, go fuck yourself, the shotgun isn't a powerful enough weapon and the enemy will not stop his animation even if you're 1cm away from him shooting in his fucking chest
Only thing that i enjoyed was the verticality and how the enemies moved all around the areas but god damn do they feel fucking weak. They're bullet sponge but have a shit reaction time, projectiles are easy as fuck to dodge, there's ton of useless shit that will block your movement from time to time (include the enemy's movement), and the weapon feels like shit. Also where the fuck are the hitscan enemies? Even fucking Call of Duty has them.
I tried to hide completely the HUD but the game will still force you to have things popping up / stay on your screen and apparently i can't disable the shining around an object / corpse when i'm supposed to interact with it.
I knew all the people who said they enjoyed this shit were shills. This game is complete shit. Do not bother. The Multiplayer Beta was fun because of the teleporting device, but this is just straight up shit
>>341015730
>those barrels everywhere that insta any enemy around

>The Multiplayer Beta was fun
I feel all of you with shit internet, I was there just a couple of months ago, with some wireless shit. Optic fiber is like heaven now.
>>341016486
Yes it honestly was. Played it with Shotgun & teleporting device, not using any other weapon, and it was fun as fuck to start a fight, throw the teleporter behind them, shoot them and teleport behind them. They always get confused as fuck. Managed to win a 1v2 with 50% health in a corridor like that, though i teleported after only one shot because they were going to fuck my ass hard if i had stayed a tiny bit longer without teleporting
>>340990002
That depends entirely on one thing.
What happens when you throw people into the lava? What are the lava effects like?
Just beat the demo. The game is complete utter shit. Shills on /v/ is not a fucking meme.
