There are some KEX Engine limitations. After you enter into a teleport you float in the air for a second. You sometimes bounce like a pinball when you face the wall. Doomguy hitbox looks wider than original so monster have more easy to hit you with missiles.
Not to mentions wads like TNT the MIDI file are not correct.

This is a cracking update, I am very thankful for it, especially as a freebie for previous owners.
This clearly wasn't ready, though. The Switch version is crashing at random giving buffer overflow crashes from the iD Vault menu, there's no moderation of the mods, when i load a previous save fast monsters is suddenly on and only a fresh start of the level will change that, and there's stuff mentioned above like the monsters coming down from places they shouldn't be able to.
Think it's been forced out to tie into Quakecon rather than when good to go, which is a shame.

One thing we can be sure is that Nightdive will iron out the issues. They have avery good track record with patching Q1 and 2, Shadowman. I'm sure they will get back to work cause they are passionate on preserving and making the gsmes work perfectly

To add to the answer above, the berserk lasts as long as you don’t change from your hand to any other weapon. Makes getting the 20 berserk kills in one level achievement very possible.
On another note, for achievements, you can use skip levels, or use cheats (have to plug a keyboard into your console to use them which is dumb) to unlock them all. I got like 3/4 of them last night playing the final levels only with level select or setting myself with full weapons and god mode to get the enemy killing ones. Was really fun!

This is a DOOM Engine thing; any level you get the Berserk pack in, you keep the punch buff until the level ends, even if you reload mid-level,

I'm only three levels in and thought it was just me. It's solid in terms of difficulty but I'm having a great time. I liked the puzzle elements to that second level when it came to lowering and raising the platforms. Took me an age to find the exit and couldn't find how to get outside to grab those health bottles.the newest campaign is intentionally hard ! it's like it was designed by streamers & speedrunners

Can you turn off that "bobbing up and down" when you walk?
Dark Forces remaster had that same thing and they included an option that you can turn that off since it makes some people motion sick. I had to turn that off in Dark Forces in order to be able to play it.

Yes, it's in the options menu.

I can't believe they censored Hitler. Yeah. Need a mod to fix that.
Did they censor Wolfenstien 3D too? I will have to check my gog copy.
Edit: I looked up my copy of Wolfenstien 3D on gog and it seems like they left it alone.
It seems like the original version in Dosbox. I was reading the reviews and it sounds like they tried to replace it with a new one and then they reverted back to the old games.

That screenshot is absolutely incredible.
On another note, the new episode is fucking awesome. 5 levels in and I'm having a great time.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Should I give this a go? Does it have any adventage over just using GZDOOM?

Does any one else have the switch version? It is shit!! Well the game runs and looks fine but one of the main things the music volume is so low you can't hear it without putting your head up to the damn speakers on the switch.
Only music with decent volume (not low, but still not high) is the midi option. Which is not what this update promised. The Original soundtrak and the metal soundtrak are low volume, super low.
I know its just the switch version as I have it on PC and the steam deck and on my deck its loud, very loud.

For me the remix is much higher in volume than the originals on PC. I hope a patch will bring some balance, as right now it's jarring to switch between.

Is it me or all games share the same saved game list?

Yes. You can load game from different wads even if you enter into a different one.

But that also invites the unwanted overwrite save.

This is just insane good looking. I am annoyed it requires the specific Steam WAD though, I do not want to have to rebuy the game.

No offence intended to anyone, but much like when they boost an old game's resolution to 4k, the results to me just end up looking like ...a game that looks really old with good lighting or high resolution (or both).
I don't really get why people get so enthusiastic about it.
I found it similar on PS5. I just turned down the Sound FX so that I could hear the music properly.

I think to some of us that played this game 25-30 years ago, this is how the game looked in our brain via the rose tinted goggles of nostalgia.

Yeah, just like i remember the game being s lot gorier and violent when i was a kid. More akin to Brutal Doom than the vanilla one.
for me, doom3 was a faithful evolution of the original games' premise, environments and ambience. it makes sense because it uses id tech 4 which carmack designed. he was not involved with doom 2016. no comment from me on that one here.

In a way it kind of does. Carmack was inspired by Mario to make it work on the PC, which was never designed to play games. From there came Wolfenstein 3D, and then Doom.

Quake remastered also feels off in its movement, feels floaty

Character movementvor camera movement? I had serious issues with the camera movement when it launched (so much i ranted to them in a support mail) but they added substantial camera control settings and i could fine tune what suits me the best.
