But with the DOOM (4?) beta now announced to be avoiding PS3 and Xbox 360, the cons are becoming clear.Īn update to the DOOM FAQ (frequently asked questions) page on the Wolfenstein: The New Order website signaled a rather sneaky move by developer Bethesda to get the news out, but last-gen fans of the longstanding shooter series will be disappointed to know that there will be no DOOM beta on PS3 or Xbox 360 whatsoever. 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?).
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.
