PS4 beta mostly stuck at 1080p, with rare drops below it. The more noticeable thing was sub-60fps tearing, although they fixed it mostly in the latest beta NP test.

Looks awesome and the graphics are gorgeous. I'm assuming that was PC footage though based on the image quality.
Are we sure about that? Tiago said they res scale constantly and the temporal super sampling makes it hard to pick up. Maybe the PS4 can hold 1080p most of the time though.
Amazing image quality if so. Perhaps they borrowed from UC4's technique lol.
This was confirmed by DF/NXgamer [don't remember which]. PS4 rarely drops below 1080p.

Just picked up the PS4 version (Mediamarkt in Germany in case anyone cares). The fact that Bethesda didn't send out any advanced press copies whatsoever has me a little worried, but since everything I've seen from the campaign looked bloody brilliant to me I thought it was worth the risk regardless. Afterall Bethesda did similar things with The Evil Within and I believe also Wolfenstein, and those turned out to be just fine.
Looking forward to your impressions.
Bethesda has been working like this at least since Oblivion. I remember their man Pete Hines talking about how they slowly dish out the screenshots. It's all an evil mind game.
I'm not touching this game until I hear the single player is actually interesting and not just a turbocharged ADHD gore extravaganza.

They don't do that with their marquee rpg titles though. I believe Oblivion was the first Bethesda game we tested at 4players.de (we didn't exist during the Morrowind era), and we got all of their rpgs well in advance ever since. The Fallout 4 press copies were sent out incredibly early. Like, 3 or 4 weeks early in fact.

I ordered it digital and thought it releases tomorrow!
Why does Mediamarkt sell it already?? Is it unlocked on psn as well?

It really seems like that doesn't it, a bit fast paced for what I'd consider Doom. I also didn't like that there didn't seem to be any collision with demons once they'd reached a death state but way before they visually died completely.

I started playing yesterday (albeit very late) and finished the first 3 campaign levels. I loved it. I didn't wanna wait to install the obligatory 8GB day 1 patch, and that meant I was initially a little disappointed by the substantial screen tearing in certain spots. I also thought they axed the FOV slider at the last minute as it was nowhere to be found in the menus. I was still having a blast. Not to worry, though: patch 1.02 takes care of both of these issues. This is a mighty fine looking game, with terrific lighting, wonderful creature animations, gorgeous Mars Vistas, kick-ass particle effects, great looking material shaders, Ratchet&Clank level motion blur and exceptionally clean image quality. And thanks to the framerate you're moving through the demon horde like a knife through butter. I'm also in love with the presentation in general. This game is angry like it's 1993. Doom Marine doesn't push buttons. He crushes them with clenched fists. Then he rips out an imp's jaw while listening to death/industrial metal takes on your favorite tracks from the original Doom OST. The baddie is impossibly sinister of course. Like Skeletor on a really bad day, with Mortal Kombat announcer-esque voice to boot. Doom (4) never pretends to be a grown-up like it's slightly po-faced predecessor. Instead it revels in the thick layers of cheese it's coated in. Do yourself a favor and suicide in the molten iron in mission three. Gave me a good chuckle. Gameplay is where it's all at of course. The thing controls like a dream. Folks are moaning it feels like Quake or UT. I'd have to agree that that is what it does feel like, except I think that's just about the biggest compliment you can give to just about any shooter. It's not Doom1 anymore and it shouldn't be. It has modern stuff in it like weapon mods, secondary weapons fire and something resembling parcours. It also has rpg progression elements like weapon and armor upgrades. These are good things as far as I'm concerned. The game feels old-school without ever being archaic. Heck, even the unobtrusive story seems sort of interesting so far.
No idea whether the game will be able to sustain its momentum of course, but since these games only tend to improve with the expansion of your personal arsenal, I'm not really worried here.
