I wish RockStar would join the fun.
GTAV thread would have been fun

I need some clarification, if you had a dream game, lets call id MOOD. And you tried this special dream game. Did her run a 30fps or 60fps? Remember, we're talking about MOOD.
I already feel like I played too much of Doom on Switch already.
We also play the waiting game

We dont care about frames we wanna know whats on the potato
What if it has user selectable 2 modes?
30fps with a higher resolution (900p docked, 648p handheld)
60fps with lower resolution (720p docked, 540p handheld)
Dynamic resolutions to keep as close to their target fps, and adaptive vsync.
That would satisfy both user groups, even though the 30fps group will be smaller by a larger margin

Fine with me.
For Nintendo console owners the waiting game is VC already.
No one is going to break the embargo at this point.
Bacon bits and cheese.
It's 30fps without a doubt. The fact he said 60fps is setting your expectation to the moon says it all....
Obviously he can't confirm 30fps but he doesn't have to.
I'd understand if people were saying they wanted an identical version to PS4 but we're talking about having drastically reduced graphics to get 60fps and expectations are still too high...

If it's 30 though, you're to blame.
Wrong. Expectation are set to the moon because ya'll think Doom is the foundation of all future Switch support.

So embargoes arent up yet?
I don't know, man. If expecting a game that is 60fps normally to be 60fps is expecting the moon, then I think that says a lot about what the final product is going to be like.
Are folks really doing that, though? I think this is just one little piece in the larger puzzle, but maybe that's just me.
Ah ok, thanks for clarifying.
60fps confirmed then lol.
No but seriously I know what you mean, I don't think Doom is the game that will determine the future of the Switch, although I do think sales of 3rd party games in general will.
I personally think the end goal is a return on investment, it doesn't matter if Doom is 60fps or 20fps, if the game doesn't sell (along with Skyrim and Wolfenstein) then Bethesda and other third party devs will think twice about releasing certain games.
I don't want the Switch to end up as a glorified indie and Nintendo machine...

It's probably best not to engage in this anymore.

People said NBA 2K would suck because it was 30fps and not 60fps like on PS4.
As it happens, it plays really well and looks great to boot.
Switch running a true next gen game like Doom at 30fps (if that is the case) isn't something to be upset about. It's great that Switch is getting that game in the first place and it doesn't take a genius to work out that compromises will have to be made.

If the game doesn't sell, then I would hope they try to find out why.
I don't think that there are many people who say this though.
The most common idea is that if Bethesda manages to make Doom to run at 60 fps on Switch that means that most games could be ported to Switch, if there is a will. Not necessarily running also at 60 fps.
Plus, porting being possible doesn't mean that they will happen, that being a business decision.
Well I think the conclusion would likely be that there isn't a market for those types of game on a Nintendo platform.
I don't think it would ever boil down to framerate. People on forums like this are a minority. The typical consumer doesn't give a shit (or even know) about framerate etc.
It's like going on a forum such as AVS where members talk about backlight bleed, uniformity, calibration etc, when again the average consumer buys an lcd, keeps it in Dynamic and watches SD....
Which could be a bad conclusion without more information as to why they didn't buy it.

Real bits of bacon or that fake stuff?
Actually, negative 60fps wouldn't be a slide show at all. It would be just as smooth as 60fps but with everything running in reverse.
The ultimate slideshow would be 1/60 fps (as in one frame per minute).

Bad word of mouth can change lots of perceptions, especially when we're talking about the folks who would actually be the market for games like this. If lots of folks were going, "Damn, this game is awesome as hell, pick it up!" then that leads to folks jumping on the train and telling others to do so. Anecdotally, I had friends get Breath of the Wild who never played a Zelda game before due to it getting great reviews and so many people saying it was great. If this DOOM port gets the, "It's terrible, don't buy it!" vibe from folks, then that will surely change the perception as to whether folks will pick it up or not. Maybe they won't understand why it was that way, but it won't change the overall gamer "feeling" about it and that can affect sales.

I think this game surprised a lot of people, I doubt people expected Bethesda to go this far in to support Switch. On the surface it seem to mean a brighter future to some people wanting expect the floodgates to open up after this.

Expecting a game to run at 60fps isn't settimg expectations very high. Publishers do this shit to by not just being upfront. Just answer everyones questiins. Instead you embargo an embargo and then wonder why people suddenly are restless.
It'll be 30fps. Not a surprise really.

both IPs are coming to the platform so I am sure they are pretty different by now from the old days.
Check out the Wolf2 trailer if you missed it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkrwUzWeACg
similar gameplay maybe but different enough

Guys NateDrake isn't confirming anything lol. He's just saying to keep your expectations in check. It could be 60 but it won't be 1:1 with the PS4 version, that's all.

Someone said that their preview of Doom Switch would be up on the 21st
I don't want to say who because if there's really an embargo for the embargo... Well.. you know
