DOOM PS4 Open Beta, Post-Release Plan Revealed

I am looking forward to doom, after playing the multiplayer beta it feels right, warpath is a blast. However, I'm still hurt by leaving out campaign co op, I know of a few people who had been looking forward to its arrival who cancelled their pre order upon hearing, and I know I may just activate my gamefly for a month to crank out the campaign because no co op takes away a play through or 2 from me. It sucks that it's not there, but it also sucks that my gaming habit the past few years has been so heavily co op based. Just got used to playing with friends, with the major exceptions being uncharted, elder scrolls, mass effect, god of war, bioshock. Single player games generally get one or two plays before they begin collecting dust. May just gamefly, beat the campaign, and wait for the goty edition with all dlc and hopefully expac.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I believe its around £30/$40 for the season pass with 3 packs - £12/$15 each as stated above. That seems 'consistent' with other shooters and contents - whether its 'over-priced' or not will depend on whether or not you enjoy the MP and get a lot of 'enjoyment' from it.

Personally I have no interest in the MP. I played the closed Beta on this and definitely won't be buying Doom (if I buy it at all) for the MP - its not very good at all from my perspective - typically dated 'arena' style no tactics shooter that gets boring very quickly. Definitely have NO interest in the Season Pass! The cosmetic customisation is quite good and looks like over time we could see quite a bit of variation in the way characters and weapons look. I can't deny that the game looks 'good' either and the 'glory' killss are certainly 'brutal'. The game-play though is 'from my perspective' lacking in any real depth. Maybe other game-modes may bring that but I can't see me playing it for more than half an hour at most before getting bored.

Just hope the campaign isn't as superficial as it appears to be so far!! If not, this will be a bargain bin buy - if I buy at all.

Nice. I will be giving this beta a try. But those packs feel overpriced to me.

Can't wait to see what the community can produce with the snap map editor, gonna be a blast

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I kind of know what you mean. I do think Wolfenstein felt AAA BUT I don't feel it was 'Gen 8'. The campaign was nothing 'unique' in many ways and followed a 'typical' format. I did enjoy it though and I certainly think it had the polish of a AAA. The subsequent 'Old Blood' was a pleasant surprise and I can't complain about the 'value' although it is obviously 2 DLC packs bundled together. The fact it cost the price of one and a 'stand-alone' item (not requiring the New Order to play) also helped. I guess the lack of additional features - like a MP or co-op type mode did leave the Old Blood feeling a bit light on content but still felt like a AAA campaign to me.

Doom on the other hand, without playing its Campaign, does feel a bit 'indie' with a nice polish. It feels very old-school (Quake) and lacks the depth of the best shooters available. Again this could be down to the game modes available but I didn't feel the game-play offered or promoted a variety of play styles - even within its limited range of weapons. I know the Shotgun requires you to get close but you always have another weapon on you and doesn't matter how you want to play, you really only have one choice - regardless of the game mode. I preferred the Warpath, but only because that tended to focus the play where as Team Deathmatch I found myself running around trying to find someone to shoot - even in full lobbies - maybe we were running around in the same direction a lot of the time - either way I got bored even more quickly. The 'hacking' modules don't seem to add anything special and the best rewards are purely cosmetic - A new colour, new bit of armour - all stuff that has no impact on my game. Maybe it might be a bit of 'fun' with a few mates but its not something that really requires communication, Team work etc.

From what I have seen of the Campaign, I am concerned that it won't have much, if any story - just a case of get from point A to point B and kill everything along the way, progress to the 'next' level/area etc and repeat. No character building, little to no dialogue, no scene setting etc. Pretty much like a lot of indie/arcade games

So fed up of this dlc trap. We pay out of our noses for these fricking games , I'm getting the bloody collector's edition. Then I still have to shell out 40 bucks for dlc? Bull!

Nothing wrong with arena type shooters..its a stripped back,balanced test of gun-play..Excellent physics and high quality productions values every time from ID Software - SP or MP..i hope for a hardcore mode PVP on New Doom (no autoaim,extra damage and equipment) Sorry lil' off topic there -As for the DLC stuff,it seems a bit steep -but hard to refuse for me unfortunately,as its probably lacking in content..Still who knows..
