They weren’t even sorted in random order! They were sorted in the order of the platforms release/announcement. Why the hell would you be bothered by that!? MPedits (talk) 16:20, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

MPedits, as I already stated in multiple prior edits, we sort them first chronologically by release, then alphabetically. The game has no announced release dates for any of those platforms, so only the latter applies. Your order was random and not, as you stated, sorted by announcement, as PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One were announced simultaneously.[1] Lordtobi (✉) 18:43, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

YES. THEY. FUCKING. WERE. I’m not talking about confirmation that the game will be coming to those platfroms, I mean when the consoles themselves were announced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MPedits (talk • contribs)

Why would anyone, ever, want to read a list of platforms a game was/will be released on ordered by the time of announcement of the platforms themselves? No one, especially not our average reader, casually looks up platform announcements dates just to understand why they are sorted in a particular manner on a particular article that is completely disconnect from these platforms' lifecycles. Out of anything that could, this would definetly confuse readers. Also, no need to WP:SHOUT. Lordtobi (✉) 20:19, 4 April 2019 (UTC)

MPedits, we only do a non alphabetically order if the game was released in that order. Example, if the Stadia version was released later then the other versions; then we will order it PC, PS4, Switch, XONE and Stadia. If the game was released on all the platforms simultaneously or there is no release dates for the game yet, we have to order the platforms alphabetically.

I guess I was supposed to provide a proof of DOOM Eternal being actually titled "DOOM Eternal" because seemingly someone doubted it for some reason

So here it is: http://archive.fo/XqsDJ#selection-1321.0-1363.1 SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 13:58, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Full-caps stylizations are far from notable enough for the lead. Lordtobi (✉) 15:20, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

Notable enough for all instances of DOOM to be correctly written on Wikipedia, because this is how avery game in the DOOM series was titled. However, Wikipedia is weird and considers it a "stylization". while at the same the stylized name "id Software" with full anti-caps is being enthusiastically stylized so much that often Wikipedia users even write the minor "i" when beginning a sentence in prose and thus breaking the rules of English language. SNAAAAKE!! (talk) 15:53, 20 April 2019 (UTC)

I personally think that even the "stylization" should be at least different from the title E.G. "DOOM ETERNAL" Instead of "DOOM Eternal" Not herobrine (talk) 13:43, 30 April 2019 (UTC)

Multiplayer

There is no evidence that the game has standard multiplayer modes. As of right now they have only announced an asymmetrical mode. The source used only asks the question if players would prefer traditional deathmatch style modes. -8/16/19

Stadia removed from list of platforms in infobox "because it is a service"?

Stadia is a gaming console. Nobody cares if the game's actual software runs locally or on the cloud. As such, I'd say it should be listed. Note that it wasn't me who added it, but this anon. --uKER (talk) 20:40, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

UKER, per our guideliens:

|platforms= -- The unabbreviated console or operating system family for which the game was specifically developed. This includes dedicated ports, but not games in emulation or services.

(emphasis mine)

There were some discussions in the WikiProject but no consensus outside "it does not belong into the |platforms= field". The removal here was mostly inspired by @Masem's similar actions on Red Dead Redemption 2. Regards, Lordtobi (✉) 21:17, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for the clarification. I find that differentiation utterly nonsensical (not meant as an attack towards you), but whatever. You may want to continue here because pretty much all of them list Stadia in the infobox. --uKER (talk) 22:34, 26 October 2019 (UTC)

UKER, there is an ongoing discussion (linked above) that you can participate in. Possibly an alternative (such as a separate |services= field) can be decided on there. Lordtobi (✉) 10:22, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

By the way, should we list Xbox One as a platform for X360 games available as part of backwards compatibility? Or would it be the same as listing PS3 for PS1 and PS2 games, 3DS for DS game, etc? Coolak (talk) 01:04, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Coolak, simply put: no. Backcompat games are games running in an emulator where the emulation config has been tweaked so the game runs best/better on the newer platform. Emulations are excluded per the same guideline as quoted above. Lordtobi (✉) 10:16, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

2 years after?

20:06, 14 January 2020 edit by user‎ 2605:a000:1417:483c:e6ce:8fff:fe77:9c95 added "Two years after the events of 2016's Doom" and said: Revealed to be set in 2151 in the new trailer. The game being set in 2151 is true but there's some confirmation, it's effectively set two years after Doom 2016? I can't find any in the text of source number 9.
