On the other hand, Skyrim will run at its intended frame rate.

what is taking tomorrow so long?
Only smart people can see those games.

Tomorrow is running at 30 fps

Is it at least running at 1080p docked though?

900P60 docked
I don't care that much about the framerate, I'm more concerned about gyro aiming. Odds are it won't have it....hence I'll be disappointed. Of course, you're right that we don't have much to go on, so I'm still following this thread.

Careful guys, we're gonna get this thread locked
Anyway, as someone who hasn't played Wolfenstein TNO are there destructible environments in that? The new trailer for 2 seemed to show that (I really know little about either game so I apologize if this is obvious) and I'm curious how the Switch can handle that as it's typically a CPU heavy task. The Switch's CPU could theoretically be a bit better for some tasks when compared to the Jaguars (specifically single core tasks) but overall it has a somewhat big disadvantage.
Apparently it works with the Steam controller and is used in DOOM VFR so I'd actually be very surprised if it doesn't have gyro aiming on Switch too, since the work has to have been done either way.
at 60fps

Skyrim SE on P/X almost certainly targeted 30fps specifically to leave overhead for mods.

Dynamic resolution too - drops down to 720p at times, and 540p when undocked.

Skyrim has it, so Bethesda is at least aware of it being a possible thing they could have someone do. Now it just depends on who ports it and how they feel about that.

Doesn't sound great. But it's better than yesterday. Also did you see the amount of screen tearing yesterday? Hopefully tomorrow gets a patch to fix that.

I can't say I remember any. I could definitely be wrong.
It doesn't have native gyro support, but you can apply that to any game quite easily by configuring the Steam controller.
Also DOOM VFR is a totally different thing.

Yeah, I got gyro aiming working with a Dualshock 4 in Big Picture mode. Just set the gyro to mouse aim in the controller config in Big Picture mode.

I'd say so. Unless cutting that Frau Engle daughter schmex scene suddenly caused the game to be 20FPS. XD

It'll be ok. That's still like double the pixel density of a 3DS game.

Expecting 30fps

Ah I wasn't aware how the Steam controller worked, thanks.
As for VFR it's using the same engine and gyro sensing is a component of VR motion sensing, so I would imagine the work done for that would basically take care of gyro sensing for a console as well, even if it's a totally different game.

I'd be surprised if it was less than 60. Doom was specifically made to target 60fps. They wouldn't even bother otherwise.

I wouldn't assume that it automatically followed that if Doom was 60, then Wolf would be too. The developers could make different decisions, Wolf 2 could be slightly more demanding to the point where they think the drop to 30 with a higher res is a better decision than a fluctuating 45-60 at a terrible res, for example.
It would bode very well for Wolf 2 being 60, but it wouldn't be a guarantee.
960x540 @ 6.2" (Switch) = 177.65 PPI
400x240 @ 4.88" (N3DS) = 95.59 PPI
Close though. And yeah, it's still an improvement.
Makes sense.
However, if Doom is indeed 60 fps, I think I'll hold my Wolf 2 purchase on PC until they show more of the Switch version.

I wish they'd included an infrared sensor bar like the Wii. I can't imagine gyro controls being as effective on the Switch when having to manually reset during game play.
But how would he know if the human eye can only perceive 30? Is he a robot!?
I was making a joke about PS3 Skyrim running at 0 FPS. Guess it was pretty bad

Lawd the 3DS resolution is foul. The DS wasn't too awful for 2004 but by 2011 standards the 3DS was positively ancient - when not using 3D it was rendering at a lower res on the top screen than the PSP was.

3DS is a piece of shit handheld that made the world a worse place to live. I celebrate its death and dance on its grave.
Ahem.
Ahem.

You are officially my mortal enemy now. 3DS is my favorite handheld, above Switch even.
My only complaint about Switch is lack of stereoscopic 3D :O
Yeah, if there's one reason for me wanting the 3DS to die it's the resolution. Even on my small N3DS (with a slightly better PPI of 120.23) the aliasing is highly noticeable.
As an aside, the original Doom would have been a good fit for the 3DS. It's a slight shame how iD's stopped officially putting Doom on everything, I still like playing it from time to time but I'd love it on a portable like the Duke port on Vita.
This has honestly been one of the funniest threads in a long while.
I'll miss the comedic humour once we get the final word.
BRB gonna get a flight to iD and change the "Make 60fps = 1" line to "Make 60fps = 0" so it can be 30fps and the comedic humour can continue on forever.

Unless they can't tell us the framerate tomorrow for some reason...
Then the fun can continue!

It will be 60 FPS with some compromises

Not only they had to use tech from the 90s to make it run, in-game it also had to be downgraded to tech from the 90s?It will be 60 FPS with some compromises

It truly is an awful handheld. Happy we are finished with it.
But Metroid Samus Returns ...
after it and Dragon Quest rpgs I'm done.
It's great! Now go to sleep.

I'm not buying any games on 3DS. I bought my switch and don't ever wanna touch that thing (except I'll prob buy chicken wiggle just to support the dev)
