The early visuals had looked suspiciously impressive if it had kept the 60fps. Seems like it's 30 then. Mostly expected, but for Doom the lightning slick 60fps was part of the appeal.

Still, cool for a handheld.

Doom on A10X/A11 would be something!

That would be incredible. Digital Foundry speculated that CPU was a bottleneck for 30fps DOOM, and the A11 Bionic's individual high power cores have the same per-core performance of an i5-6600U, which is leagues ahead of the Jaguar cores in PS4/One and the Cortex-A57 in Switch. The four low power cores in the A11 are still more powerful than Switch's cores too, and all six cores can be used simultaneously...

It's a crying shame that Apple designs the best ARM CPUs, because they'd be such a great fit for the Switch.

11 year old me, playing Doom on the GBA would shit his pants if he saw this.

I love the future.

Iriscomeback · Sep 21, 2017

Looks pretty damn good considering the hardware.

Might double dip. Want to see docked footage first.

Danneee · Sep 21, 2017

Looks really good and Ill definitely buy it sometime.

Aostia · Sep 21, 2017

looks great!
I just hope for slight improves in docked mode

GulAtiCa · Sep 21, 2017

Looks pretty good actually. Looking forward to it.

Ninja Scooter · Sep 21, 2017

I hope it's 60 because 30 FPS might be a deal breaker for me. The appeal of the game is rooted so much in how fast and smooth it is.

Aurongel · Sep 21, 2017

I'll take 30fps DOOM over 0fps DOOM. I never thought I'd see a game like that scale down so well to what is essentially a tablet.

OCD Guy · Sep 21, 2017

Despite my disappointment with the frame rate, I can't deny how impressive it looks in handheld mode.

Hopefully there'll be a demo, like there was on PS4 etc, so I can try it for myself. If it feels ok I'll buy it.

Yeah we can all compare it to PS4 and PC but in isolation seeing a first person shooter that looks like that on a damn handheld console is fucking impressive.

It's not unfortunately

The only big issue with the port.

dugdug · Sep 21, 2017

I guess that's good?

Not sure why I'd pay $60 for the worst version of DOOM, but, it's cool that it exists for people who only have a Switch.

iavi · Sep 21, 2017

That...looks amazing wow. I cant imagine that not nuking the switchs battery though

The Last One · Sep 21, 2017

This looks almost unbelievable.

Niceguydan8 · Sep 21, 2017

For me, personally, so long as it never dips below 30, I can probably deal with that.

I played the game at 60 on my PC, but framerate has never been a huge deal breaker for me (especially in single player stuff) so long as it's consistent.

I'm also still blown away at the notion of DOOM running on a handheld device. The footage looks incredible to me given the handheld nature.

cw_sasuke · Sep 21, 2017

They wanna hit the Holiday release date.... I would assume that notion controls or in general more updates are something that would happen if this game performs well... Just like Konami still releasing Bomberman updates because of its performance.

Whatever they learn from this release will be helpful for Wolfenstein 2 on Switch.

Meanwhile Capcom is still figuring out if the Mega Man Legacy Collection would run on Switch lol.

nikatapi · Sep 21, 2017

It's incredible to have such a game on a handheld. We come from the 3DS and Vita to this? Mindblowing, i'm SO getting this game.

I don't think it speaks too highly of a game if its appeal is rooted in its framerate...

ViolentP · Sep 21, 2017

Looks surprisingly good. Though my hands hurt just looking at it being played in handheld mode which kinda defeats the purpose of a buy for me.

Schucky Ducky · Sep 21, 2017

This really does look so impressive given that it's on a handheld. I'm excited for it. I just hope they add in motion controls before final release. That would seal the deal for me.

Wandering Robot · Sep 21, 2017

I'll be fine with 30fps. It's really an impressive port, and I was looking to double dip anyway

Peru · Sep 21, 2017

Stunning!

MrCookiepants · Sep 21, 2017

Puts it into perspective.

ElectricBlanketFire · Sep 21, 2017

I know it's 30FPS, but it still looks really fast to me.

pulsemyne · Sep 21, 2017

The 27 minute video from Nintendo world is pretty good quality. Good quality port.

Leatherface · Sep 21, 2017

That looks fucking awesome. Sold!

Yeah the frame rate looks damn smooth to my eyes.

Vampirolol · Sep 21, 2017

Looks better than what I expected.

this image makes me anxious

stilgar · Sep 21, 2017

Bought.

Nev · Sep 21, 2017

Doesn't look that bad. Looks fluid for being 30fps.

ThisIsMyDogKyle · Sep 21, 2017

Visually it looks way way better than I was expecting, I hope they offer an option when docked for either increased resolution or increased fps like Fire Emblem Warriors though, will probably get it either way but the option would be nice.

Maiar_m · Sep 21, 2017

This is very very impressive and as long as framerate is constant, I'm more than fine with 30 FPS.

thehillissilent · Sep 21, 2017

I wonder what the actual controller latency is and if the latency is directly tied to the framerate or if it's a separate thread. I'm impressed on how good it looks. However, I hope it "feels" smooth and responsive. It looks fast on the video though.

It's already dropping below 540p to keep 30fps. Forget 60.

burgerdog · Sep 21, 2017

Holy shit that looks amazing off screen, I played this on ps4 and I'm super impressed with what the switch is doing.

Trago · Sep 21, 2017

I was expecting N64 level visuals on handheld mode, but this looks alright.

I Wanna Be The Guy · Sep 21, 2017

Hmm. Looks good. Hmm.

sinonobu · Sep 21, 2017

Looks very impressive. I'll definitely pick this up at launch

Kissenkopf · Sep 21, 2017

Seriously if someone would have told me in january that the Switch could run Doom (2016) I wouldn't believe that person.

This is nearly unbelievable and the future looks bright for this small device. Now I am sure it can play (almost) every other PS4 game with a few downgrades here and there. Look at the size of that thing and then tell me you are not impressed with, the performance.

iavi · Sep 21, 2017

Gyro aiming with joycons when docked and Id double dip

Otherwise, as good as it looks, its just a basic cut down port from the impeccable pc version. We need some switch extras

Not so sure about that one. Doom with IDtech6 was a technical marvel for what it did visually while requiring so little relative horsepower. We may not be so lucky with other games

John Dunbar · Sep 21, 2017

watching that just reminds me of how disgusting it is to play fps games on a console.

To be fair, it has been completely optimized for the Switch.

Still looks great though.

added_time · Sep 21, 2017

Looks really great!
I haven't bought DOOM yet and I'm really torn on which version to get. I like the idea of having it portable on Switch but I also have a really powerful gaming PC so it would run amazingly on it. Maybe I'll flip a coin.

radcliff · Sep 21, 2017

No motion controls for the retail/final build, or just for this demo?

plagiarize · Sep 21, 2017

Nice to see all this positivity. Huh!

Anyways, I'm going to play Doom tonight at 30 fps with a pad on my PC. If it plays well enough, I'll be buying this port to have Doom (best game released last year) on hand no matter where I go.

Soapbox Killer · Sep 21, 2017

Much crow to be served in the other thread methinks.

CharminUltra · Sep 21, 2017

I already own the game on PC (wasn't a fan), but this version looks respectable.

wamberz1 · Sep 21, 2017

30fps?

And there goes my interest. Shame.

It's cheap as chips right now on CD Keys for the pc version so maybe go down that route https://www.cdkeys.com/pc/games/doom-pc-cd-key-steam

I'm all digital on Switch but if I get this game it'll be Physical so I can burn through the campaign and then sell it...

IronicSonic · Sep 21, 2017

Looks incredible.

Nintendo World Report has the better footage

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
