Despite developers and publishers across the board pledging continued support for last-generation consoles, there are still some clear downsides to arriving slightly later to the next-gen party. While issues such as exclusive next-gen-only games are apparent (or even prolonged last-gen releases in Titanfall’s case) other cases where being a PS3 and/or Xbox 360 only player puts you at a disadvantage haven’t been in the limelight - in fact, it’s been quite the opposite when it comes to some basic console features (media support and external storage, anyone?). But with the DOOM (4?) beta now announced to be avoiding PS3 and Xbox 360, the cons are becoming clear.
It’s not exactly practical for Wolfenstein and DOOM fans to get in touch with the retailer (read: it’s ridiculous and unnecessarily unclear), be it Valve, Sony or Microsoft, and it seems that neither or these companies or any other digital retailer involved in the DOOM beta key scheme have released a statement to announce their beta key plans but we’ll keep you updated on the story once we know more.
“Other digital retailers’ processes and/or participation may vary. We suggest contacting your preferred retailer directly for additional information.”
Is this confirmation that Doom 4 is being built for next-gen only (current gen) platforms?
Wolfenstein: The New Order releases May 20th in North America and May 23rd in Europe for PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.
