Support NeoGAF

[Skittzo0413]

Update: apparently motion controls to initiate glory kills were in the previous build, even though there's some confusion over the controller options screens. Either way there is sadly nothing to suggest they've added gyro

So previously, while the media were playing the original demo, Bethesda had confirmed that DOOM on Switch would not have motion controls support- https://www.rollingstone.com/glixel...at-30fps-multiplayer-download-is-9-gb-w504975

Update: Bethesda got back to me on a few other questions that have been floating around out there. I've updated the story to reflect the answers, but here they are for those who already read the story.

And, unfortunately, no, the game does not include Splatoon-like motion controls.

However, the more recent build seems to show that motion controls is now indeed an option in the settings menu-

Seems the game now has motion controls.

Check minute 2:51

For those who can't watch:

There were previous videos showing the settings menu where there were no mentions of motion controls, so this is something they newly added, maybe due to the amount of feedback requesting gyro controls.


UPDATE:

Damn I may have jumped the gun.

That motion controls option was in the first preview build journalists saw last month. 99 percent sure the only thing it does is let you shake the right JoyCon to do melee attacks and Glory Kills. I played the game with the motion controls setting on and that's all it did.

I do recall seeing (and talking about here) the lack of a motion control toggle in the options so that's strange that it was there before. But yeah turns out this is unlikely to be added gyro aiming.

YESSS

 

[DrZeus]

If it's 60fps it'll be sublime.

 

[NotLiquid]

Switch version best (console) version

 

[jacobeid]

Phew.

 

[Zalman]

Definitive version confirmed

 

[JigglesBunny]

Game of the year just like that. Holy shit.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

As I said in the other thread, I hope it's true gyro aiming and not something like "waggle" for melee/glory kills or something.

 

[hotcyder]

If it's 60fps it'll be sublime.

It's not

 

[AmayaPapaya]

Oh. This was the main thing stopping me from getting it. I may pick it up, later, then.

 

[gypsie]

If it's 60fps it'll be sublime.

Thought footage was out showing it at 30? Or did I imagine that?

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Done Deal!

 

[super-famicom]

rip and tear

 

[Okami Haundo]

God damnit Bethesda... I was ready to wait for a sale on this, but motion controls kind of seal the deal for me.

 

[Skittzo0413]

If it's 60fps it'll be sublime.

It's confirmed to be 30fps sadly.

Undercover shit posting... detected.

 

[hoserx]

Man it looks amazing on the switch screen. Can't wait to play this at work, haha.

 

[Karspankey]

that damn music should not start until i pump the shotgun myself

amen

 

[hiim_haz]

That's great, motion controls for aiming are far better than dual analog.

 

[The Hermit]

Fuck yeah

Now I am tempted, even though I 100% it on pc

 

[primasaurus]

Ohh Myyy Goooddd!!!

 

[Jonneh3003]

 

[Effect]

Excellent!!!!

 

[random25]

Huh...weird that Bethesda denied it once, then now it's in the game.

Nonetheless, good job, Bethesda!

 

[NumberThree]

Rip and tear until your arms are done

 

[CrashPrime]

Great news. Just great. 30fps is a bit of a let down but I will deal to have it portable AND have motion controls. Who ever thought so many of us would be excited for motion?

What a port to have on this platform!

 

[Kurt]

Switch version best (console) version

This by far
(if it's the same as splatoon 2)

I really hate playing with dual analog, (It's to casual)

 

[Jonneh3003]

Huh...weird that Bethesda denied it once, then now it's in the game.

Nonetheless, good job, Bethesda!

What was their actual statement regarding it? They may have side stepped it for the preview embargo.

[The Last One]

Isn't better to wait for confirmation on what kind of motion controls this is?

 

[Turrican3]

As I said in the other thread, I hope it's true gyro aiming and not something like "waggle" for melee/glory kills or something.

This.
We need more info ASAP, proper motion controls could make a big difference to me: wasn't going to buy mostly due to already owning the game on PC, but as I *love* pointer controls that would somewhat ease the lack of 60fps.

All I could find is what I edited into the OP, that Rolling Stone had asked them and they said no.

Yeah that could be the case but I doubt it. If so, I am sorry I jumped the gun.

Hopefully anyone who gets to play the more recent build can test out the motion controls setting?

Isn't better to wait for confirmation on what kind of motion controls this is?

It wasn't present on the initial demo build, we saw options screens which didn't show this option. Since, at the same time, they said there were no gyro aiming controls, that suggests pretty clearly to me that this is something they've added since then.

But yeah I guess I could be wrong.

 

[phanphare]

if it's true gyro assisted aim and not something else I'm in day 1 let's fucking go!

 

[Pokemaniac]

Hmm, now they have my attention. Still going to need to see reviews first, though.

 

[Wildo09]

Splatoon like motion controls is not the same as shake the joycon for melee kill.

 

[Piers]

Will the game pause during Glory Kills to do a QTE waggle?

 

[Jonneh3003]

Does Skyrim have gyro aiming? I know it has gesture controls but if it allows you to aim and shoot then there's a good chance DOOM does too.

 

[Skittzo0413]

Another thought, the fact that there is seemingly just a "motion controls" toggle with no further explanation should suggest that it's motion aiming. Otherwise, how would you know that you're supposed to shake the joycon for a glory kill?

It would have some sort of accompanying text if it's just motion to activate a specific prompt.

EDIT: Also the prompt for glory kills still just shows the right stick click. If it was done optionally done by motion controls too you would see an additional prompt show up.

Yes it does, when using a bow. Basically identical to BotW's aiming.

 

[The Main Event]

In the video the option is ticked on but it’s still played as dual analog?

My main gripe with the game is no true southpaw controls. Thankfully I could change it in the accessibility menu on PS4. Having gyro aiming would totally eliminate the need of it (Borderland on Vita does it well).

Pretty sure it has gyro aiming, yeah.

From the Rolling Stone article a month ago:

Update: Bethesda got back to me on a few other questions that have been floating around out there. I've updated the story to reflect the answers, but here they are for those who already read the story.

There is no difference in how graphics are rendered between docked and handheld modes, although the game may appear different simply because it is played on a larger screen, according to Bethesda. When it is docked, the game plays on your television at 720p.

The 16GB cartridge is why multiplayer is a separate download for those purchasing a hard copy of the game.


And, unfortunately, no, the game does not include Splatoon-like motion controls.

 

[FreedomFighter]

The great news keeps coming this morning.

 

[LordOcidax]

Splatoon like motion controls is not the same as shake the joycon for melee kill.

Shaking the joycons attached to the Switch is not a great idea... Where did you read that?

 

[Kikorin]

Well would be awesome, I really hope "motion controls" are for aiming too and not for something else.

 

[Kurt]

Btw, it has HD Rumble.

I'm still pist that fifa 18 don't has this included.

 

[Noisepurge]

does this mean gyro aiming or waggle controls?

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Well this just moved over to the "buy" column for me...was gonna rent before.

 

[Mr. Phellps]

Motion control-activated Glory Kills would be glorious.
