I will look incredible in handheld, wouldn't bother on the TV.

Will look great on the TV as well. Especially with the lights out.

 

Just make sure you dock the Switch first obv.

Whoa whoa whoa slow down a bit. Do what?

[LaveDisco]

Totally going to double-dip on Doom, and wait to get Wolfenstein II on Switch.

 

Voting with my wallet to say this is a worthwhile endeavour for developers..

[LaveDisco]

Can't wait for digital foundry to completely miss the point.

 

Also, despite the violence, the Doom reboot was, mechanically,  a very 'Nintendo' game all said and done.  More so that the originals. Same goes for TitanFall 2. It is a natural home for it.

 

Also it reminds me of playing Doom on my GBA.

 

[Stanley]

Doom has always been very Nintendo imo.

Well it IS their job to compare, and lots of people find the comparisons they make interesting, but they always seem very fair to me. If it's a good port to less powerful hardware then they'll say so. If it has terrible framerate issues or looks like shit they'll say so.

You can write it now.

 

"It's missing two pixels on the third inference voxel lighting cycle, drops 1 frame every 1 billion, and it takes 2 seconds longer to load every 3 hours of gameplay. On that basis we absolutely can't recommend this fully portable version that you can play anywhere over the PS4 Pro disc."

You can clearly see that the specular highlights have taken a nosedive and are no longer distributed via the Heidrich–Seidel anisotropic method. What a turd. Pass.

Rubbish. Look closer, you can see the Switch version clearly has added particle effects. If anything it's going to be an upgrade.

[Capwn]

Can see Doom being 50-60 quid too

[Bojangle]

Heaven forbid they get paid for their work.

(Digital price will almost certainly be £50 but I'd bet a bollock on it being around £35 on Amazon and the like).

It will be expensive that's for sure, but such is the pull of the Switch right now it will still be desirable to a lot of people. 

 

Maybe try playing some games on yours and you'd understand.

The press are apparently playing this already:

If that's even close to being accurate, and it doesn't run like a slideshow, then that's an incredible achievement. 

 

My first experience of Doom was the SNES version for christmas '95. It was a cut down version of the pc original, but I didn't care. I fucking loved it. 

[Stanley]

iD are geniusues, it will deffo be 60fps.

[freezycold]

DOOM will be INCREDIBLE if it has gyro aim implemented as sexually as in BOTW and Splatoon 2. I found the Dual Shock too slow and imprecise.  

[mdn2]

I'll be one who picks up Doom on the Switch over the other versions. Always wanted to give it a go, but the 70GB install has always put me off, even though its available on PS4 and Bone for a tenner pretty much everywhere. The portability and the fact that the multiplayer is an optional download means I'd rather the Switch version over the others, regardless of how it looks.

Only a matter of time until we see RE4 on Switch isn't it?

Well, the rest of us anyway, you'll be looking at the back of it.

If anyone wants Pokken or Mario + Rabbids Amazon are doing their code again. VG5OFF40. Brings them down to £35 each.

[mdn2]

So any impressions of the Project Octopath Traveller Demo? I've got it downloaded for my train journey home.

Does this work on pre-orders? Could I use it to bring down the digital price of Odyssey for example?

Mushrooms just kicked in Stanley?

 

A mate has an i5 pc with a 1050gtx graphics card and has to turn down most settings to low to hit 60fps

 

the ps4 pro just about hits it in boost mode.....

 

unless its its stripped right back to basics (and it certainly looks like it from those pics), I doubt a tegra X1 could do it at a decent resolution.

Only specific products, of which Odyssey is excluded unfortunately.

Oh I'm 100% in for it.  My progress on PS4 has been repeatedly hampered by the insane update sizes (killing my 'just have a quick blast' vibe). Having it available on the sofa, off screen is (like everything with Switch) an absolute boon.

Its 60fps on a standard PS4 and Xbox One. 

 

And those pics are fine. You be the one tripping here my friend.

Really wish we could have a Katamari Darmacy collection for the Switch.
