Doom switch edition is out
- Thread starter cathou
- Start date
i dont think they actually drop the ball on third party right now. forget how the game look or not. first switch is way more easy to code a game in than the wii or the WiiU. now, if you look at the, let say top 20 sales of the wii, the wiiu and the switch, 14 out of 20 be4st selling games was publish by nintendo. on the wiiu, 18 out of 2o was published by nintendo. now, switch on the other hand, 5 out of 20 are publish by nintendo. third party sell way more for the switch than it sells for the wiiu. at the end, it's the only thing that count for the developpers. is it worth it ? Doom is number 3 in the eshop sales right now, and i think the sells are pretty good. Skyrim will be out this week, and it will probably sell well too. who cares waht the game look, if the sales are there, company will develop for the system...JUMBO PALACE said:
Shin Megam Tensei 5, Travis Strikes Back, and Ace Attorney are all 3rd Party games that have been confirmed for the Switch. wrong 3rd Party games though? would the Switch getting games like COD WWII & PUBG make you happier instead?JUMBO PALACE said:
There's also heavy rumors floating around atm saying that Soul Caliber VI will be announced at the Playstation event coming up and that the game will also be on the PC and Switch but not the Xbox One.
not exactly, i wished they focus more on does it look good by itself, is the framerate feel right or buggy, if theres was bugs and if content is missing, rather than spending half of the review doing a frame by frame comparaison with the other versions. clearly they have to mention it, but is it worth it to spend most of the review on that comparaison and barely talk about the game itself ? is it fair to made a review for those who have polay before, but not for those who havent ?Ezekiel said:
and reading reviews on when the game came out on other system is not very complete. there was dlc and patches after that. change have been made to the game since then, they add arcade mode, they changed multiplayer.
Playing DOOM makes me think Nintendo should hire Panic Buttons port team because its a damn good port. Its a better port then Legend of Zelda BOTW, Granted many problems in BOTW were patched out but I haven't had any graphical hiccups, or Frame drops yet.
yes, it remind me that half of the reviewers i found said that there was a framerate issue, the other half said there wasnt, except maybe once or twince in the whole game. personnaly, i didnt noticed bad frame rates. maybe because i play on medium difficulty. but i'm at the third stage and so far nothing...kilenem said:

30fps is disappointing, I would take Doom 4 looking like Doom 3 but running at 60fps over it looking current gen but running slow. But motion sickness is apparently less of a problem than shinies.
That's nice for the Switch owners out there, and from what I heard and seen it's an impressive porting job.
Not enough to convince me to get a Switch though. Maybe Xenoblade 2 will change my mind. Besides, own Doom '16 on PC already and I'd miss my KB&M too much. Tried a controller. IMO plays like arse by comparison.
Ironically, there's no OG Doom port for Switch yet, so the meme question "Does it run Doom?" still has "No" as answer.

Man... I have to say that I can definitely see as to why people claim that you come off as a Nintendo fanboy. You never miss an opportunity. The graphics alone may not be a night-and-day difference, but the point is that there is a difference AND it's locked to 30 frames per second on the Switch.Yoshi178 said:
Why the hell anyone would buy a port on any of the recent Nintendo systems is beyond me. Also, massive LOL @ bragging about how it's portable. Cool, I guess I can throw my Vita in the trash, then.
Honestly, unless the Switch is your only system (which, if it is, fair dues, we're not all rich), there is no point. You can get a better version of it for cheaper on pretty much every other available platform. Only hardcore fanbois see a game that has been out for months or years and then brag about being charged extra for a less technically impressive version just because you can walk around with it in your bag. And I say that as someone who is not especially obsessed with specs.
You buy Nintendo for the first party titles. You buy a decent laptop/tablet/PC/whatever other system for the rest. Durr.
I might have to buy this for VR though, but only if they include smooth aiming with a regular controller, which is doesn't look likely to occur
sadface. At 40 dollars CDN on PSN (30 American on Steam), that still makes it cheaper than the Switch version.

the picture difference is a huge issue with you why? because the picture isn't as pretty as the PS4's? guess Playstation fans should be sad too because their picture isn't as pretty on the PS4 Pro as it is on the Xbox One X's picture. and Xbox fans should be all sad too because their picture isn't as pretty as the PC version's picture.
yeah there's a difference in picture. but it isn't anywhere near as big of a deal as you guys make it out to be.
i can't play my PC on the train to work when i want to play DOOM or Wolfenstein II, or Valkyria Chronicles 4, etc.Chewster said:Why the hell anyone would buy a port on any of the recent Nintendo systems is beyond me.

Wolfenstein II and Valkyria Chronicles 4 haven't been out for years just FYI.
I'd be pretty impressed if you found a tablet that could run any current console stuff. Or even a laptop in the same relative price ranges, though its more obviously technically possible.Chewster said:Why the hell anyone would buy a port on any of the recent Nintendo systems is beyond me.

Doom VR seems like the most ill conceived idea you could do with Doom though. Doom's thing has always been moving a lot. The thing VR definitely does in a range of poor to awful to actually injuring the user is movement, especially rapidly.
Well I mean, Doom came out a year and a half ago, but point taken. Still, I very much doubt that people are clamouring to buy the Switch just so they can can play a graphically downgraded Doom outside in the shining sun or whatever. Portability does not justify that price in my humble opinion.Seth Carter said:
Maybe, but it's not even out for another week yet, so who knows. FarPoint has a fair amount of movement and it plays fine. They also warn you fairly well to leave some space between you and the TV so you're not smashing all your shit up like an idiot. The only game I've had to actually get up and move a bunch of stuff out of the way for is SuperHot VR, which does have a fair amount of physical movement to it. The rest you can play sitting down. All they'd have to do is program the game to limit the monster spawning range to a wide cone of periphery to periphery if they were worried people would be swinging their helmet all over the place and breaking everything. Anyway, I've tried the teleporting thing in a couple demos and while some people swear it works, I'm not a big fan personally as I don't really get ill from playing VR.
I mean, give me Doom with Aim Controller support and there would be serious hell to raise.
I can't comment on the value of portability myself. I'm in that weird camp of folks who find the idea of taking multi-hundred dollar pieces of delicate electronic equipment into the hazards of the outside world a tad strange. So unless I got a switch at a thrift shop for 10 dollars like my DS, thats probably out. (I also don't play many games that do well in short bursts either.)Chewster said:
I already have Doom on PS4, as does my cousin who has the Switch I play on while watching his kid sometimes. And he has game sharing set up with me, so he has it too. Got no real stake on that one really.
The obvious point that if you only have one console in your budget (or your space concern, or whatever) and want Nintendo games. Well its nice to have some of the multi-platform stuff returning to it. Certainly if you have younger kids around, its probably the main console that has easily findable kid-friendly titles (Sony off and on. Microsoft basically never).
That not being any particular concern of mine, and because it has asymmetric joysticks, which I hate (funnily, if they had the option to invert the one stick, you could actually flip one side to fix that), generally means that despite having titles from it vying for my top 5 of the year, I'm unlikely to get it.
