As we all know, games tend to get downgraded compared to their E3 builds. However, that wasn’t the case with id Software’s DOOM game. YouTube’s ‘CrowbCat’ shared a comparison video between the E3 2015 and the final version of DOOM and as we can see, these two builds are almost identical.
While there are some small changes to the maps, every tech feature that was showcased in that E3 build is present in the final version. From smoke effects to those lovely reflections, DOOM looks just as good – if not better due to higher quality textures – than its E3 2015 demo build.
The only thing that the final version misses is Imps crawling when they lose their limbs. In the final version, Imps are being killed more easily and do not crawl (this seems like a gameplay choice in order to keep the game as fast and chaotic as possible).
Apart from that, the final version of DOOM looks glorious, runs impressively fast, and looks just as good as its E3 2015 demo.
Enjoy!

thats actually kinda nice to see, some other developers might wanna watch this video. not going to ubisoft any names but ubisoft ubisoft could learn a thing or ubisoft. Too bad all developers ubisoft it like this.
Doom was such a pleasant surprise. I remember finishing the game after 7-8 hours of non stop metal killing gameplay and i was PISSSEDDD considering the ending etc that i wouldn’t get any new “story” from now on :(. I just wish they got another doom like this in the works.
10/10 would buy again.
Oh well it goes down to taste i guess.
Lol.
It wasn’t the graphics that originally made me not want to buy this. It was the slow, awful gameplay that looked like it was designed around a controller. Thankfully Nvidia’s now famous video convinced me otherwise.

Yeah, those first videos using a controller were god-awful.
