Doom (2016) is coming to the Switch

Wow! I didn't see that one coming. And I'm not even being sarcastic.

Even though I have an Xbox I may have to get this when I buy a Switch so i can shoot shit on the go. Really happy to see this support from bethesda.

This would probably be extremely fun on a portable console.

720p@30fps, no?

The original 90's Doom hahahahahahahahahahaha

i don't know doom is one of those games that runs super efficient. you can get 4k 144fps on a gtx 1060 i think.

720p 30fps or 720p60fps for handheld.... 900p30fps for docked?

what does xboxone S and ps4 vainlla run at?

Nope, it's the 2016 Doom, just happens to have the special Retro design boxart for the Switch

@KBFloYd: i believe the ps4 versions has dips into the mid to lower 50's fps and the xbox one can drop into the 40's doing extreem cases.

The switch just became interesting for the first time.

id Software has a policy of all their games running at 60fps. If DOOM is anything less than 60fps on Switch, they would be going against their core values and it would be a disgrace. It will still be shit either way. DOOM is best on PC.

Dude...what? Even a 1080 can't do a locked 60FPS, a 1060 can't even do a stable 30FPS, I don't know how you could possibly think that the game runs in 4k at 144FPS on a 1060.

But, I'll be able to kill Nazi's and Demons on the go?

That would probably be a better fit for the Switch, not even being shitty or sarcastic lol. If I wanted Doom on the go, that'd be the one for me.

Yeah, this is out of nowhere though, pretty weird. I just can't imagine playing this game without blistering framerates (120+) and m/kb.

Cool for those who want it though.

@ghosts4ever thoughts?

he is busy preordering his mario edition switch ;)

@ConanTheStoner: I liked it on PC and like it on console. It's fun. Good for Switch because it needs more than just Nintendo in the long run even if the know it all here don't believe it.

@FireEmblem_Man: That image is on the menu screen on PC, PS, X1. It ain't nothing special.

You can already do that on a laptop. :)

Switch gets no 3rd party support: Nintendo consoles never get support. Nintendo sucks

Switch gets 3rd party support: Nintendo can't run games at a frame rate and resolution I want. Nintendo sucks.

Not really, very cumbersome playing while standing or walking around.

@walloftruth: That must be an old chart or something, because my 1080 using Vulkan absolutely blows away the 60 fps target at 4K.

I dunno if I should be congratulatory or concerned. Call of Duty games, after all, wound up on the Wii and weren't worth the plastic they shipped in. Plus after seeing some (supposedly) native Switch gameplay of Rocket League (and its compromises), it's probably better to be cautious.

True, but I don't like playing portables standing or walking around. I am just messing around anyway. It is good that DOOM is coming to the Switch. Switch needs some more good games.

compromises on rocket league? lol

game looks like shit at 8k 200fps anyway... cmon

I was convinced this was a hoax at first. Switch is clearly more capable than I'd thought. Bethesda did well to see the potential and get in there early.

Not just Doom, but Wolfenstein 2.... really surprised by this news. Big win for Nintendo. Hope they sell well

I kinda wonder...with them working on bringing Doom to the Switch if that is the reason why they havent taken the time to do 4k/hdr for the consoles.

Gonna get DOOM! on Switch. Cant wait to see what we get next year, holy crap, what a year.

Wanna see some footage of that, gona be interesting to see.

Ok so how do you carry your PC around with you everywhere you go?

Switch gets 3rd party support..its best on PC...well durr!!!.. :P

Bought

@Xplode_games: Like I said before, a laptop.

Wow. This is good news. The switch so far is putting doubts about it after the wiiu to bed.

@superbuuman: might as well shit on any 3rd party support that is on PC. Which would be 100% of Xbox software and 95% of Sony software.

Have PC. Superior.

Care not.

That's really good news for the switch, let's hope it sells well.

I have it on XB1, no desire to pay big money to play it again on the Switch (I imagine they'll want $40-60 at release), but if it dropped in price to say $20 or less, I'd get it just to be able to play it on the go.

Well that's a bit of a surprise. I have the Xbox One version and I'm satisfied with that myself however it's a really good game and certainly adds something to the Switch library.

I might be just too used to running it way over 60fps, I haven't played it on PS4 in a long time

Awesome! Add it to the list of Switch games I'll be getting someday when they're $20 or less, along with Skyrim, Rayman Legends. Want these games on Switch, don't want to pay $60 when I already own them.

I really do believe they'll sell decent- they're big name games, Switch is targeted at a young adult age, and Switch still doesn't have many big name games. But I agree, games like Doom, Wolfenstein, Skyrim, Rayman Legends, Lego City, etc are priced too high. I'm interested when they hit $20 or less at retail.

You gonna play an arcadish fps at 30fps ? Whatever the resolution it better be 60fps.

I guess the PS4 and Xbone are doomed now.

The new Doom? Or an old one? I hope it's the new one, because that means it'll run even better on an iPhone.

From 2015.

so what?

you get to pay $60 for a cut down version of a 2 year old game.Great now let me bend over some over.

Also good lucking fitting an 8OGB game on a "console" with this pathetic amount of storage

Lol, was going to say the same thing...

This is great to see. Wolfenstein too. Good signs for Nintendo.

It's the new one, and no, why would you want to drain battery from your beautiful iPhone X? And why haven't you read any of my DM's?
