If you were hoping to jump into Doom: The Dark Ages with your pals for a spot of multiplayer, I am sorry to say you won't be able to.

    Old ID would make deathmatch mode with single player maps. Everything is fun when pressing shift makes you move at Mach 2 speeds.

    This is shaping up to be shiiit. PLS make smaller games with less staff and stop chasing bigger is better.

    I fucking loved doom 2016 and the tightness of SP design was a feature

    Remember Marty Straton is a grade A cunt. Boycott doom.

    I’m never paying for an ID game while Stratton is around, which is fine, because after the MS acquisition, there’s only one direction to the quality of the franchises…

    Okay I have a confession to make…

    I haven’t finished a Doom since Doom 3 (2004).

    I have loved every minute of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, but I haven’t finished either of them.

    I get too motion sick to play video games like that anymore.

    Even Titanfall I have to take a break between levels.

    I’ll finish them someday, I promise…

      As someone else said, try turning up FOV. Last night I decided to try Doom Eternal for the first time. (I played the new Doom but didn’t finish it.) The default FOV is 90, and motion blur is on. In a game mostly involving corridors and fast movement, 90 is stupidly low. It’s set up for people playing on a TV 6+ feet away, not a comouter monitor much closer. These two settings may be your issue.

      That sucks! I don’t get any motion sickness, so no personal recommendations, but have you tried some of the common tricks (like increasing FoV, disabling motion blur)?

        Checking FOV and disabling motion blur, chromatic abberation, and DoF are my first things before I even start a new game.

        I just assume it’s because I’m getting older, and I’m not sitting in a proper chair most of the time.

      Mee too, I was motion sick of the original Mirror’s Edge and of Mullet MadJack.

    I loved the first two dooms so please, do focus on single player.

    One of the few games I bought way after I pirated it.
