The game engine is very good and scalable.

I still can't imagine how it will run.

We'll see, if they can make it run at a stable framerate it'd be amazing.

 

[polyh3dron]

This game is currently occupying approximately 80GB on my PS4. I take it people will need to buy a dedicated 100GB microSD card to own this game?

Crap I wanted to buy digital...

I hope that's the icon.

 

[Ghostbound]

You've played Wolfenstein already? Are you a time traveller?

It's coming out at a later date than the other versions, so I'll have already played it. I assumed that was implied.

Wolfenstein II on Switch may end up being more optimized than the PC version.

Compress the assets and make loading screens take longer or use lower res assets.

Everyone playing it for the first time, crank up the music -- it's metal AF

 

[whipihguh]

DOOM really seems like a great choice for a Switch holiday title. It satisfies a massive genre gap on the Switch, and it'd be a fantastic game for new Switch owners who haven't played it yet.

Wolfenstein II would've been even better, but I get that ports take time, and it probably wasn't considered when the game initially went into production. Hopefully it's an early 2018 port.

lol i can't wait to see some footage

Awww yeah!

 

[KrawlMan]

Doom will likely run like shit on Switch but I might get it for the funsies.

I expect a targeted 60fps as priority. Visual sacrifices are guaranteed, but it'll still look damn good.

 

[plan9]

Great news, definitely getting Doom!
Kudos to Bethesda, they get it. I will be supporting moves like this.

 

[Neiteio]

You don't have to wait - they showed it

 

[Mr Swine]

Heh Doom is trending on Twitter atm. I hope all this games sell well on Switch

 

[Undead Fantasy]

How will that work?

Isn't Doom like 80GB?

 

[Seik]

nice boxart for the switch version

Why do I want to buy this, I ALREADY HAVE IT ON PC AND PS4 GODDAMIT!

 

[chrisPjelly]

Wow, I didn't expect a Doom port, let alone Wolfenstein 2. Though, I REAAAALLY doubt they'll be able to compress the full game into a cartridge. Doom and Wolfenstein are like 20-50 gigs on the PS4.

 

[Zophar]

If they can put Doom on a Switch cart than there is something super fishy about it taking up 100GB on other platforms.

 

[molnizzle]

Can't believe it's actually happening.

I've always thought Doom 2016 would be perfect for the Switch. Game has the most Nintendo-ass mechanics of any shooter.

Day 1 triple dip as long as it's still 60fps.

WOLFENSTEIN II

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

How in the actual fuck are western third parties doing more for Nintendo than Japanese third parties?

This is some bizzaro shit.

Might require a microSD card download

MegaTextures, that is why it's so big. You downgrade those then the overall file size drops like a rock

I love metal.

 

[Anteo]

Console doom? Meh. Ill rrplay on my pc.
Portable doom? Day 0

 

[Kimawolf]

hmm i wonder if Skyrim preorder numbers are this encouraging they just say fuck it, lets go with more games!

 

[Zushin]

Fuuuuck that's amazing. Will double dip on Wolf and triple dip on Doom.

 

[Ricky 7]

First FPS on Switch as well.

 

[Zemm]

What are the chances of IR aiming for these two?

Don't answer, I don't want to be disappointed.

Texture detail will be lower than PS4/XB1. No fucking clue how they fit all of the multiplayer content included though, unless MP will be a separate download, which seems likely.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

I'm not typically an FPS player regardless (and when I am, it's on PC), but I really hope these games follow Skyrim's lead and set a healthy precedent with support for Joy-Con gyro aiming. Otherwise, no sale. Good to have such a strong showing from Bethesda before Skyrim has even been tested, though.

If other platforms are running it at 1080p and up with the highest-quality assets etc. for those resolutions, where the Switch might be running it at - what, maybe 900p docked? - and presumably with lower-quality assets, that 60GB+ can shrink awfully fast.

 

[molnizzle]

Or maybe they just cut MP altogether.

Game is honestly better without it.

Snapmap is kinda cool though, hopefully that stays.

 

[Neiteio]

DOOM has possibly the best campaign in any FPS ever. So well-paced and endlessly replayable.

 

[Tehalemi]

When "Nintendo is DOOMED!!" takes on new meaning...

Super hyped for these games. Bring it! >

Edit:

DOOM: Switch Edition |OT| NintenDOOMed

Beautiful! xD

 

[The Hermit]

You don't have to wait - they showed it

It looked very low res, so I take they are aiming for 60fps.

There's no other way to play it, to be honest

 

[Undead Fantasy]

I'm being honest here. If they can port the complete game to a 32GB cart without any download to complete the game bullshit I will buy this.

The game taking up that much space on PS4 turned me off completely.

 

[nelo_inc]

The future of the Switch is looking really bright, first FPS on the system..

When's a GTA V port?

 

[KageMaru]

80% of that is megatextures that absolutely won't be necessary for the fidelity the Switch port will be capable of displaying

Megatextures benefits devices with lower amounts of memory, so it'll certainly be used here. It's a core part of the engine after all =) This will likely be one of those games that requires additional storage than what's offered internally.

Third parties have no excuse anymore.

Yes they do. Just because game X is possible on the platform doesn't mean game Y is as well.

 

[Magwik]

DOOMs MP would be a hit on the system tho.

 

[JigglesBunny]

They confirmed multiplayer in the Direct. Honestly, it's going to do well on Switch too. Not much in the way of competitive FPS titles on the console right now.

DOOMs MP would be a hit on the system tho.

Get out of my head!

 

[Plesiades]

If I'm not mistaken, they mentioned Multiplayer during the Direct.

Maybe SnapMap and the Arcade Mode are in the chopping block? Hopefully not.

 

[MrKeinov]

I guess Fallout is eventually happening if skyrim and these sell well. Definitely picking all up! PRAISE BETHESDA. Unprecedented 3rd party support. \o/
