These are the main issues I feel that are holding back the PS3 version of this game and need to be patched.

- Load times and auto save times are waaaaaaay too long. 45-50 seconds to reload a save after dying, 12-15 seconds to autosave. Please patch in an install option as it is just unbearable!

- Control mapping is just stupid as hell. having to constantly hold L3 to sprint is the most uncomfortable thing ever. This is the way the controls should've been. L1 to sprint, the unused Circle button for flashlight, L3 for crouch (and give us a crouch toggle option), and put the zoom feature back on R3 like in the xbox 1 version!

- There is no blood spatter effect on the floor and walls when you shoot enemies. This graphical effect was in both the xbox 1 port and PC version, yet now it's missing, making the battles a lot less viseral.

(Which i've discovered the cause of it in this video)

- In Resurrection of Evil, when you activate the heart artifact all the smoke effect from guns on the walls and floor disappear. I shoot the shotgun and there is nothing on the walls, the same with other weapons. Glitch has been documented in these videos...

- The flashlight no longer casts a shadow off enemies and objects like it did in the PC original. I dunno if this was a performance choice or just an oversight but it's a shame that it's missing.

- Give us the option of using the classic flashlight. Sure there were tons of complaints about it but I personally used it as a viable melee weapon for saving ammo. Now I am forced to use the less powerful fists. Really lame.

I feel really ripped off having purchased this game. Do the right thing Bethesda and fix these issues!

The problems that i'm having with the game:
1.game take to long to load save file as will checkpoints (Digital Game)
2.few times game stuttering for about 2-3 seconds
3.every time that i look up in down the game suffer from tearing issue
4.The Field of View (FOV) everything is too close to screen

This is the issues that i be experiencing, Please Fix.

something that i notice is that supposedly the game can be playable in 1080p but the game only runs in 720p, this is a very old game so the PS3 can handle the game in Native 1080p

I really don't understand why we can't go back to the main game selection menu from Doom and Doom 2.

WHY bethesda/id, why in D2 would you put the double barrel shotgun in-between chainsaw and melee and not after the single barrel??? That makes no sense to me. Also, I would like to be able to pan the level map in D1 and D2 like you can in the originals.

Thanks for reading

I would like to see the small graphical issues fixed, such as the shadows and the bloodstains. I'd like the game to have shortened load times. Those two issues are real, and they would enhance the overall gameplay.

However, the one issue that needs attention right away is the sprint button/control mapping issue. Not being able to reliably sprint is gamebreaking, not just an inconvience like a long load time or a minor graphical bug.

A patch to add control options to map sprint to the L1 button is really needed to play Doom 3.

Thank you again id and Bethesda for bringing these great games to the PS3. I really hope you guys can work these minor issues out so us gamers can get the most out of them.

and please fix these:

- smoothly/lagfree splitscreen in doom 1 and 2
- splitscreen for doom 3
- skipable cutscene!

about the loading times/install features:

i own the PSN version. so it its completely installed to the hardware, and loading times are still long as hell

Here are the issues I have (very annoying by the way, is it an ID game ? I can't beleive it !):

- screen tearing in almost every firefight
- decals are missing, smoke effects may just switch off
- machinegun and shotgun firing sounds are FAR worse
- no option to switch off the autosave (disrupts the immersion succesfully)
- framerate drops
- some textures are so much compressed, that you can see the artifacts
- the fov is far too low, it should be 90 as in the orignal
- the flashlight does not cast shadows, just like the firing the weapon (all present in the old doom 3)

I AM EXPECTING A PATCH, I payed my hard erned money for an improved doom 3 experience, nor for a worse doom 3 experience.
I will tell all my friends how badly I got $#!@#@. I am a big doom fan and I am all sad inside, because of this release.

im experiencing the same sreen tearing and framerate issues even with de 1.01 patch.the FOV is too low too.smoke effects after shooting,flashlight does not cast shadows too,stuttering,and a new problem came with the new patch.the ''ragdoll'' effect freezes the bodus even if they're not down yet, FOR GOD SAKE, IS THIS SIMPLE EFFECT TOO HARD TO BE FIXED? i was really exctited but im getin'annoyed and sad with so many ridicilous details ripped off and too many issues...this game doesn′t deserve even 20$....

I've posted the smoke effect glitch with a video in the original post.

Could we also get the option to choose which levels we want to play in Doom 1 and 2? For example, I would like to work on my level times but don't want to have to play through the game to get to a certain level.

That leads me to another issue. If I complete a level offline, my time won't be uploaded to the leaderboards when I finally do get online. I have to be logged in first to get my name up there.

(My biggest issue as I have said before is still the double-barrel shotgun placement, please put it in-between the single barrel and the chaingun).

Did you know that you can use the quick select for the shotguns? Press down once on the d-pad for the super shotgun, twice for the regular shotgun.

Looks like Id is gonna listen to the complaints. Now I just wonder what stuff they can actually fix.

[censored] yea

That is some good news. I honestly think that Decayedmatter's comprehensive posts with videos pointing the issues helped to motivate ID team. Thanks pal, you did well. (doom bunny)

I really, really hope they will give us a control option to map the sprint button to L1..... Anything but L3! Thanks for listening guys!

They are definitely listening. Make sure to report every issue.

I don't have a twitter account. Maybr you can ask for a list of things in the works, or ask for it to be posted here?

If someone can tell him thanks for me that would be really great. It feels really great to finally know someone is helping out, and listening to our voices here in the forums.

Id, If you are still tracking this topic, someone over on the gamefaqs forums made a great definitive list of things wanting to be patched, so I'll post it here...

Flashlight Shadow option being added in

I posted on that very GameFaqs thread, and in that thread I had this to say in addition to the definitive list of changes by user 'ElBorak77'.


My 2 cents. If nothing else, please address the meagre control options. Let us map any command to any button, and let us choose between a hold for crouch and a toggle. Toggle ftw.

I'd like to add that the game has a tendancy to stall for a second or two later in Doom 3 (and whenever in RoE) during initial Wraith appearances (it'll stall, then the rest of the fire fight will proceed nominally).

This also happens to me. It also seems to happen when you proceed to a new area almost as if the game is catching up streaming in something.

this is good news after they patch the game i will finish the game cause the loading time is so annoying that is the reason i stop playing

Somehow I feel like they won't patch in a hdd install but here's hoping!

The 3D have ghosting.

Could you please fix this???

Add to the list:

- plasma gun lighting on the gun and on the environment
- zoom fuction
- full screen in doom 1&2, wide screen in doom1&2
- higher framerate on doom 1&2 would be nice
- fov (field of view) should be changed to 90, it is a corridor shooter, low fov makes it harder and just looks bad and pisses me off !
