This is gonna be 30fps isn't it

 

[Cerium]

Wonder whether it'll still be 60FPS.

We'll find out soon. The press is playing the game right now.

Impressions will probably be up tomorrow latest.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Does this mean we'll have a second Polygon video playing badly?

 

[Swimmer9800]

I've never seen so many people excited about paying more for less... that being said, the DOOM mp is super average.

 

[KarmaCow]

This is gonna be 30fps isn't it

Are there any id Tech games that aren't 60fps? IIRC all the games dynamically scale the resolution to keep 60fps.

 

[matrix-cat]

That's awesome; I've been wishing the devs would let you download the campaign on its own on other platforms, too. I love the game, but the file size is ridiculous and I'm never ever going to touch the multiplayer.

 

[GetLucky]

Haha, this is true. However, it works for me!

Yeah, but you can go lower on PC and a 30fps target framerate would be much easier for the Switch to maintain. I'd be stoked with 60, but I'm expecting 30.

 

[Luigiv]

Plz port feature to PC

Bethesda, hire this man.

where did you find the pic ?

 

[TheOohChild]

It only says the optional download is for the physical version, and you don't install games on the Switch. I don't know why this is being received so posivitively. Am I reading this thing wrong?

 

[Fantastical]

DOOM at 30fps would be a huge bummer. Really hoping they can get it to 60fps. If it's 60fps I don't expect over 720p.

 

[BigDug13]

Guess that means I'm getting the physical game. Don't want all the unnecessary crap on my SD card.

I don't care if the game's dynamic resolution ends up at 240p. I want 60fps.

Fuck the multiplayer.

 

[bobbychalkers]

I'd rather have snap map over multiplayer. Regardless I'm glad the multiplayer isn't a required download

The last thing Doom 2016 is revered for is its multiplayer

 

[Thoraxes]

Nice. Thank god. I want the Campaign but never wanna touch MP. So this will be perfect.

Exactly the same for me too. This is a good compromise.

 

[lawnchair]

i was going to not buy this because of storage concerns, but this news is pushing me towards the double dip .. good show bethesda.

right but his point is that its an optional download when you buy the cart. digital downloads dont seem to have it as optional. Thats the only place it would be a benefit. If you buy the cart you are better off having everything on the cart than anything as a download.

 

[tesqui]

I think this could be around 20gb if they use some pretty low res textures.

 

[rockyt]

I can honestly say after buying Doom on launch day I have never touch the multiplayer. I just play different sections of doom over and over and different difficulty but have not have the time to sit in front of my PC to play it. This being on the go is a game changer as I can kill more demons on the go lol and not care for the multiplayer.

 

[Antiwhippy]

This should be a feature for every platform.

 

[chronic_archaic]

Fuck the multiplayer.

I guess people really do hate arena shooters now.

Fuck me. Closest thing to UT/Quake in style and everyone seems to hate it.

if it was like quake or UT I wouldve loved it. Fuck the 2 weapon loadout bullshit they created

Gamespot.

Looks like the impressions are embargoed for a week.

 

[TheOohChild]

Yep. Everyone is acting like they are helping people save space on their Switch, when they are really making anyone who buys physical and might want to play MP take up more space on their Switch.

 

[Alcotholic]

God dammit. I wish it was like this for PS4. I would've actually kept the game installed on the damn thing. But nooooo, it took up 80 fuckin' gigs of space.
Nintendo doing it right.

 

[10k]

iD gets me. That's all I need on that cart. Rip and tear anywhere.

 

[JershJopstin]

Yep. Everyone is acting like they are helping people save space on their Switch, when they are really making anyone who might want to play MP take up more space on their Switch.

Glad people finally caught on. The only way this actually benefits the consumer is if the lower cost of the cart is actually reflected in the MSRP; otherwise, it either doesn't make a difference or is an inconvenience.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Smart way to handle it.

Also the Switch box art fucking rules.

[sleepnaught]

Non-issue for me, Didn't care for Doom's multiplayer. I've been mostly going physical with Switch anyway, so I have plenty of internal space.

Smart way to handle it.

Also the Switch box art fucking rules.

https://twitter.com/DOOM/status/908094489276928001

Bethesda bringing their A game to Switch. I'm impressed with the support they're giving it. Hopefully, this entices more third party devs to jump in.

 

[Seik]

I'm ok with this as the campaign is the crux of the game, Multiplayer, when servers will be down years down the line, will be worthless wasted space on the cartridge.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I hope they don't force Digital buyers to download the whole thing, if I can save storage space by skipping the MP part that would be great

 

[Shaanyboi]

The smart way to handle it is to categorize the multiplayer under DLC.

 

[Coreda]

Better way to handle the filesize even over the PC version and best cover art. If this is 60fps it'll be pretty sweet.

 

[BBboy20]

All signs are pointing to Skyrim being a gigantic holiday release for them.

So calling it The Switch's Killer App is really real?

 

[Opa-Pa]

Thank the heavens, Doom is the only game I constantly delete and then install again due to its absurd size.

Now please confirm 60fps so I can double dip in peace.

 

[Astral Dog]

I wish it was reversed. If I choose to download it I would prefer to download only the campaign unless I choose to also download multiplayer. If I have the cartridge I would expect everything to be on it.

Why

 

[ASaiyan]

Nintendo got Bethesda to back off an 80 gig install filled with shit nobody uses.

The Switch is now literally doing good for the industry, lol.

 

[YearoftheWooster]

Great compromise. Single player on the cart and ready to go is great. If I want to do some multi online, I'll obviously need to download updates online, so it's not too bothersome.

Now let's hope we get some motion controls for aiming. Splatoon 2 spoiled me good.

 

[.Anema]

Im dying with this.
IT'S FU*** PORTABLE DOOM!!
Unbelievable.

 

[KageMaru]

This is a really smart way of handling it. Really impressed with how Bethesda is handling this port.

 

[Gestault]

I'm totally fine with this as a standard practice when there's no local option for multiplayer.

 

[Not]

Glad they're coming up with workarounds.

 

[kraspkibble]

Wow. Can't believe a game that good looking is running on a handheld device. The Switch is amazing.

 

[Alcotholic]

https://twitter.com/DOOM/status/908094489276928001

I'm definitely double dipping just because I was these games to do well on the console. And DOOM 2016 is fucking awesome.

 

[The Main Event]

We'll find out soon. The press is playing the game right now.



Impressions will probably be up tomorrow latest.

Extremely looking forward to it.

 

[Cerium]

Extremely looking forward to it.

I was wrong on the timeframe, you'll have to wait a week. It's embargoed.

 

[pretty done]

That's an interest idea to save space. I never touched the multiplayer on PS4

Most people who played the game never touched MP. They need to do this for the ridiculous 80GB PC version.

 

[Formless]

My PC runs Doom at like 20 fps so I'm looking forward to this.

 

[rudger]

I'm shocked to hear how much people disliked the multiplayer. I haven't played this game yet. Guess I always assumed people would like the multiplayer and if you've got a portable system that you'd want that feature for local multiplayer. Sounds like this is ok for this game but I'm still hoping some developers include local wireless multiplayer on their carts.
