DOOM Eternal Comes Packing a Day One Patch on PS4

From a different article:
''In addition, all these consoles will have an FOV Slider, the ability to toggle Chromatic Aberration, Motion Blur, and adjust Film Grain. Essentially, anything that doesn’t have to do with classic low-ultra settings for shadows and graphical detail are here.''

Doom (2016) was a great game in it's own right with all these features aswell, but Doom: Eterrnal looks to be doing it even better with more features to tweak with.

Neat, I am actually curious to see how the Switch version turns out first before deciding on a platform.

I'm OK with that.

For the first time in a long time - I've booked the day off work for a game release! m/

Want this, but when failing to finish doom 2016 on easy setting due to extremely hard boss fights nearing the end (seems the easy setting does not apply for bosses?), I'm really not sure anymore ...

@gamer_since_83

The easy settings deffo affects the bosses. I remember lowering the difficulty on the last boss so i didnt need to play for days to kill it and i had at least completed it once and the boss became a lot easier.

@gamer_since_83 just keep at it and you'll get there, once you have the pattern down and keep moving you'll ace it!

@Dominatso okey, it's probably all down to myself, then

@MightyDemon82 Thanks for the support. I'll probably give it another go.

a day one patch usually means they cant be arsed to spend time to finish the game before release. so i will be waiting for a bargin bin sale, and thats what i am gonna do for all games from now on. i am tired of paying 65 dollars or more and then sit there and wait for them to finish the game. while i have a broken unfinished game experience that is missing the fine tuning. then everyone that wait and pay half or even less of the day one price months later, will have a much better game experience.

enough is enough!

@TheBuzz the game was delayed from November 2019. Hopefully they have had the time to polish the game.

@TheBuzz Yes I’m sure the exact reason is that developers “can’t be arsed to finish the game”. Do you even realise how much these guys have to crunch just to get the game done by the deadline.

I have doom 2016 on ps4, just bought the pc version for about $5 on cdkeys, while playing on big tv on ps4 is fun, playing fast paced shooter like doom on pc with mouse is great experience too. Still undecided whether to buy the sequel on ps4 or pc, it's 60 fps on ps4 which is really big plus for me, but playing it on mouse is more fun I think, and usually pc version cost less than console.

Man if ps4 and pc version is cross-save I can see myself bought both of them, one version full price and the others when it's on sale so I can play doom on pc and ps4 with the same save, I don't need cross-buy.

Games don't go "gold" anymore until the complete edition releases.

At least it's only 5GB. I'm used to day one patches being closer to the 10GB mark.

@Angelus3K after 10 years of bs from game developers and game companies, and as a consumer being treated as milk cows for their greed. there is no leeway anymore, no excuse will be accepted.

@TheBuzz so are you saying that you're refusing now to buy any game, day 1, that has a mandatory patch?

@BarefootBowser The one pictured on the disc cover. I think my weapons, or lack thereof, is the problem. I may have to repeat some levels before this boss and accumulate better fire power.

These days, a day 1 patch is hardly newsworthy. But I clicked!!!

Sucks how this is the norm, but at least Doom should be great.

@BarefootBowser Darn! Thanks for the advice. Got work to do, then.

@TheBuzz On the other hand it could be stuff what couldn't be put on the disc due to size constraints or it could be extra stuff they worked on after the game went Gold.

I'm currently finishing my run from DOOM 2016 after not playing since 2017 according to the save file lol
I'm having a lot of fun but Idk Eternal looks too similar in the gameplay trailer I saw yesterday.

@TheBuzz You do know that literally nearly every single game has a day 1 patch nowadays right?

I guess you will be waiting for the bargin bin for most games then, thats if you are not just talking out your arse.

5GB is nothing. Good stuff.

@AFCC I think it's going to be a case of getting out of it what you put in.
The new agility and traversal in Eternal just looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. I'm going in with a 'Devil May Cry' mindset!

I do miss the good old days of buying a game and it was complete. Not to say that patches as time go on aren't a nice thing but we're buying games that either aren't finished or won't fit on one disc more often than not it seems. There are still those without internet in 2020 and it seems unfair to sell a complete product that isn't really finished yet. If it won't fit on 1 disc then use 2. They're really not that expensive. And if it's not finished stop trying to sell it to me I'll gladly wait until it's done then buy it.
