Interesting, but it's not clear how controller input is achieved. No one is using the keyboard. Perhaps a bluetooth joystick?

[–] Bezier@suppo.fi 10 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Probably not achieved at all. Doom will just demo automatically.

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

That doesn't look like a demo given the length

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 hours ago

It's one of the standard demos that runs every time you boot the game.

They probably don’t need to move beyond menu because if you leave it running long enough a demo begins automatically. In-game credits at the end suggest that it’s a demo but I haven’t played Doom in ages.

Thanks, hadn't realised that's what the demo looked like. Assumed it would be short and loop.

Are you joking? Doom was built for a keyboard and mouse and most people believe it’s the superior way to play FPS games. Although I’m not sure how any controller interfaces with a dongle.

Controller as in "the thing that controls", not a gamepad.

[–] str82L@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago

Thanks, yes

mouse

Quite true. But also no mouselook. It was good for turning and shooting though. Romero also endorsed this thing:
