Topic: DOOM

@NaviAndMii GIF copied to use in the all-too-frequent "gimped port, gimped sales" threads we see around here, thank you very much!! It brought a smile to my face, at least.

@NaviAndMii

Haha! Exactly.

Im kinda on the fence aftwr playing through it last weekend again on PS4. But nonetheless im amazed its running on Switch and very happy for that.
Maybe ill pick it up for switch for the multiplayer.... that should be pretty active on switch me thinks.

@JasmineDragon @KryptoKrunch Haha! ..sets up the inevitable 'YOU. CAN'T. PLAY. IT. ON. THE. BUS.' counter-gif quite nicely too!

Looks great to me, for me it's ok to have a little less detailed graphics, why? Because it's a portable for gods sake

Only thing i really want is that framerate stays pegged at 30fps at all times. Dips to 20fps or lower is not very pleasant, like botw does sometimes.

@MegaTen
I hope people pick it up too.

DOOM, Skyrim, Wolfenstein 2... all excellent games (I played New Order, and I'm confident Wolf2 will be even better).

This is it. This is what people have been wanting for generations now. Quality 3rd party support. And this time there's actually a legitimate reason to buy it on Nintendo. This is the first time these games will ever be available as a handheld version. But as you said they are just straight up quality games that deserve to be played regardless.

It's time for Nintendo fans to unite. This is a lot more important than most people realize- the next 60 days will determine the future of 3rd party support on our platform. Unless people want a Switch with nothing but 1st party titles and indies... now is the time to act.

@JaxonH I do agree that at least in Bethesda's eyes, this will be a major deciding factor. Other 3rd parties also will be keeping an eye in it.

Nonetheless, I won't be diving blindly. I will most likely wait for reviews and customer feedback before deciding. This could be problematic with Bethesda's stupid review embargo policy. Had reviews come out a week before launch I would have a chance to put in a preorder (which seems to be of huge importance to publishers to gauge "success"). In their case, any order of mine is likely to come after launch.

I'm supporting every Bethesda game they put on the Switch. They are the #1 3rd party I wanted on board and I couldn't be happier.

On the very first Switch reveal trailer I was most excited to see Skyrim was coming more then Mario being shown.

There are a lot of third parties I'd rather have on board, but I'm certainly not going to sneeze at Bethesda when they're the first big Western AAA dev to really take the plunge. They should be rewarded with good sales for leaping when others have hesitated. Especially when you consider they haven't released games on Nintendo hardware since the NES.

I'll be perfectly honest, though: I wanted Gal Gun on Switch far more than any Western third party game, and it's coming! With gyro aiming! I couldn't be happier.

Same! Obviously, I prefer 60fs where possible - but I'll quite happily play the vast majority of games at 30fps, provided the framerate remains stable There are few things more jarring in games than frequent dips below 30fps - but I often find that games that deliver a stable 30 are perfectly playable, so not hitting 60 isn't a dealbreaker for me...by all accounts, DOOM seems to be delivering a pretty smooth experience on Switch - and that's all that matters as far as I'm concerned!

I'm definitely going to get DOOM on Christmas. Not only because it's a great game, but because Bethesda is giving the Switch a chance. If out of three great games none sell well there is literally no reason for them to continue supporting the system.

I'm not particularly keen on Skyrim, but I'll buy it to support Bethesda. Doom and Wolfenstein are unquestionable, essential day-one purchases. They have been the best third party announcements that Nintendo has ever had as far as I'm concerned.

according to Nintendo Switch's offical Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NintendoSwitch
Doom will launch on November 10, 2017
update:
Nintendo upload a youtube video

Less then a month??? What are they thinking. I'm getting both regardless but how many will be able to afford Doom and Skyrim a well apart from each other?

It's a good problem to have though as Nintendo fans this is what we wanted. Put up or shut up as they say.

October 20 - Fire Emblem Warriors
October 27 - Super Mario Odyssey
November 7 - Sonic Forces
November 10 - DOOM
November 17 - Skyrim
December 1 - Xenoblade

Aaaaaaaaaa this feels so weird this isnt Nintendo

Wow, crazy. I can spot three of those games that are going to be weak, but crazy nonetheless. I hope they have enough games to span 2018 if they're putting out first party titles in December.

@Spoony_Tech I think they realize that Bethesda makes a diverse range of first-person games. In all likelihood the audience who wants a slow, immersive, exploration and narrative-based fantasy open world action RPG (me) is not the same one that wants to play a retro revival twitchy sci-fi first-person shooter with little story to go on.

@BLP_Software Fire Emblem, Mario, Xenoblade... If it isn't Nintendo, then who are they?

@Octane I'm saying this is very er....unusual, given the past few years

Well they had to release all those Wii U games they held eventually.

(Clears throat before shouting) WHAT ARE YOU DOING, RETRO!? It's almost been four years. Most games only ever get three, and you guys did each of the Prime games in two apiece, give or take.
