Doom 4... I've heard good things about, but I haven't really liked a modern FPS in a while so I'm a bit scared to try it. I'll grab it at some point, but not for $60.
All of you guys a bit sour on Doom 3 should give the BFG edition a shot sometime. 1080p/60FPS (on the 360 as well), all guns have a flashlight, you can sprint longer, and it had some autosaves. It is the definitive edition and makes it more fun.
And bro... F that noise hehe. Doom 4 will blow your face off. Last year, I played Quake 1 and Quake 2 immediately after beating Doom 4, and everything felt pretty much exactly the same. A real testament to what they were pulling from and going back to. Doom 4 is quite possible the best single player FPS campaign since Half-Life 2 in the modern era. I got every single trophy on the PS4 and plan to buy it again on Steam to do it again and play it for years to come. God tier!
Speaking about mods... Did you play John Romero's two new maps? I'm ashamed to say I haven't played them yet. I know. John Romero, co-creator of one of my all-time favorite video games, a walking legend, put out two new levels and I haven't played them yet. I would have played them, but I couldn't figure out how to get the WADs to work with DOSbox (they might require a source port - I don't know).
Can't say I have, but I watched some youtube clips of them. They look pretty cool, I'm usually a little lazy about playing single wad maps.
John Romero seems like a super cool and humble dude though. Been seeing some newer interviews and such with him and I love how you can tell he loves this hobby just as much as us fans.
I'm about done with Doom 2 The Way Id Did, feels like a 6.5/10 or so. Overall it only feels like one map really stuck out and was cool, otherwise it's just been solid but nothing stellar compared to the official games and other megawads.
I'd recommend gzdoom over zdoom thesedays (zdoom support was officially put to rest last year I think) and don't expect too much out of the Doom 2 Master Levels... they're lost levels for a reason, haha. They were in the Doom Classic Complete collection on the PSN too (which included Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Plutonia, TNT, the originally exclusive XBLA new episode which was awesome, and Doom 2 Master Levels. One hell of a package honestly).
