Allow keyboard only play or refund please!
It's ridiculous. You can't switch off mouse turning, so you have to settle for WASD. It's ok for the modern ports, but Sigil and the old games, particularly Doom 1 is not made for these controls, in fact much easier with classic due to a lot of catwalks.

It's embarrassing to be honest, how did they forget that for such a "definitive" port?

Well that's weird, John Romero sure thinks otherwise.

regardless of what you or what romero thinks... its a feature that got removed for no reason.

That's a thing they will problably never implement. It's the same as with Blood: they removed the strafe modifier button. But at least there you had buttons for strafe and turn.

WYM "port"? It's basically an enhanced re-launch of the same game. If you wanted the original controls, you can play the DOS version.

I mean... you can just play the DOS version if you want to play like that.

Or hell just take the WADs out of the steam files and put it in a source port that fits your needs.

or they could just add this simple feature that should be in the port any way so people can enjoy the new features.

I certainly grew up playing with keyboard only but. man, I can't imagine doing UV MAX in Abandon with just the keyboard. Getting anxiety just thinking about it. But, yeah, you are right: the option should be there.

its not even that you cant just use keyboard only. I dont. You cant bind a strafe on key and a turn key. So you aren't able to SR50. I've been SR50'ing for decades and this seriously messes up my muscle memory and enjoyment of the game.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I'm sure they'll fix it if we stay on them about it.

Including mine, this is third post.
We just wanna play in old way... idk why people keep saying "playing dos box or source port" `cause I paid for this game and it was possible even in previous unity port.

LOL

You can play the 2019 version. Ultimately, the DOS version was always there. Like literally, this is not an issue.

its just people blindly defending the port or wanting to argue for any reason. I've said this a few times but god forbid we're able to enjoy the new features with out them removing old ones. theres just no reason for them to have taken these options away.

Don't lose hope. They can add those things back.

What a pathetic response is this "play Dosbox or source port"? Are these guys some Bethesda shills?

We bought this game (yes, I bought this one) because it offered lots of features we wanted to see, yet, it's full of controversial issues from the lack of proper keyboard binding through the lack of proper mouselook, to the questionable sounds (they feel like drilling your brain), and the lack of Sigil 2 in the canon, also to an episode that doesn't have unique level design that can distinguish it from the monthly released Doomworld megawads.
