Support NeoGAF

[TroicaBlur]

Wow. Thanks Bethesda!

 

[Metal B]

DOOM left Nintendo on a cartridge and it comes back on a cartridge, heh.

Next series should be Final Fantasy.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I'm going to support these games even though I don't enjoy FPS that much

 

[Ricerocket]

It's all the fucking Multiplayer.

Yeah this. The game originally was like 30GB? Then came the 20GB+ patches that was all for Snap and MP junk although atleast there was Arcade mode for SP.

 

[jbueno]

Loved it on PS4, will love it on Switch. Oh and I just bought a gaming laptop, will love it there too

 

[Crayolan]

nice boxart for the switch version

I was planning on picking up DOOM when I finally got a PS4, but superior boxart confirms I'll be getting it on Switch.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Yeah this. The game originally was like 30GB? Then came the 20GB+ patches that was all for Snap and MP junk although atleast there was Arcade mode for SP.

Why wouldn't the switch version get the Multiplayer stuff?

 

[XaosWolf]

The first traditional FPS game on the system and its DOOM 2016 of all things. Starting strong.

 

[twinturbo2]

I'm going to start yelling quotes from the Doom comic playing this at a Starbucks and just bask in the insane reactions.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

Nah.

The game is like 80GB. This may be one of those games where they dont have a choice.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I hope they are physical releases. The idea of owning Doom on a cart arouses me.

They are, and the boxart is amazing.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

I'm going to support these games even though I don't enjoy FPS that much

You'll probably like them more than Arthur Gies.

 

[Maridia]

I'm day one for Wolfenstein on pc, but, if the DOOM port is decent, I'll double dip in a heartbeat.

For those who haven't played it, DOOM is absolutely incredible.

 

[Sigismundo]

So if Skyrim has motion controlled sword swinging will Doom have motion controlled glory kills?

 

[conpfreak]

It's kinda a sight to see that bethesda is putting in work for the Switch and none of us expected that.

Yeah this. The game originally was like 30GB? Then came the 20GB+ patches that was all for Snap and MP junk although atleast there was Arcade mode for SP.

I'm cool with them just making the multiplayer as an optional download so the game's file size won't be huge.

 

[Ricerocket]

Why wouldn't the switch version get the Multiplayer stuff?

I'm not sayin that? I think they can do SP on cart and MP through extra download to make this game work.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I was planning on picking up DOOM when I finally got a PS4, but superior boxart confirms I'll be getting it on Switch.

?

Is the same cover on PS4...

 

[Celine]

It left Nintendo with a red cartridge no less.

 

[Astral Dog]

They literally asked nintendo for Vulkan support on switch and nintendo put it in, heck they probably asked nintendo for the switch to have other certain bits to make their games run easier on the system.
This alongside dropping the texture resolutions is probably more than enough for doom.
I might be completely wrong but ultra high res textures would take up most of that space i would of thought.

What is Vulkan

 

[Seik]

It left Nintendo with a red cartridge no less.

Now imagine if they bring it back.

That would be sick af.

 

[Juraash]

I'm fairly impressed that Bethesda has doubled down on Switch support. When it was just Skyrim it seemed like an easy cash grab for an old game. But they're just straight up bringing their recent stuff to the platform.

That's pretty cool in my book. And, for me at least,it just further vindicates the design of the system. Have I played Doom and Skyrim? You bet. Will I buy them and likely spend more time with them given the flexibility of the Switch? You bet.

 

[MTC100]

The game is like 80GB. This may be one of those games where they dont have a choice.

The difference in texture size between ultra high and medium is enormous, especially if the ultra high ones aren't compressed at all. Besides the game is coming in 2017 AND there is a Boxart already.

 

[Astral Dog]

?

Is the same cover on PS4...

Nope. The PS4 is DOOM guy facing at the cover

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Nope. The PS4 is DOOM guy facing at the cover

The cover is reversible.

 

[Maxinas]

Now imagine if they bring it back.

That would be sick af.

I keep hoping they bring them back for Pokemon games. PLEASE.

 

[Sponge]

HOLY SHIT DOOM


YEEEEEESSSS

 

[bounchfx]

Yeah that and sound/music file quality. They could cut the game down by a third with those alone probably

 

[Neiteio]

Nope. The PS4 is DOOM guy facing at the cover

PS4 cover was reversible. Flip it over.

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

I'm thinking 30hz will be necessary but I'll be pleasantly surprised with 60 if they can pull it off. But holy shitballs I can't believe it's happening at all! I thought a TNO port was a possibility, but not Wolf 2 and Doom.

 

[silva1991]

Nope. The PS4 is DOOM guy facing at the cover

Reversible

 

[James Scott]

I'll be getting all of these Bethesda games, it seems.
Nice that they announced Wolfenstein now despite the ps4/XB1 versions being out this month

 

[Crayolan]

?

Is the same cover on PS4...

I could've sworn it was different, but looking it up it seems that the Switch boxart was available as a reversible boxart on PS4. Guess I don't have a preference then.

 

[mariachi507]

Lol, I thought at first the original versions of Doom and Wolfenstein were coming. This is a nice and welcome surprise.

 

[Astral Dog]

The cover is reversible.

And now you tell me 😩

 

[Magicpaint]

Wow.

Not expected.

Really curious how these games will look, especially Wolfenstein II.

 

[Lylo]

Man, congrats to Bethesda for showing real support, not doing "tests" with the system, like Capcom and EA.

 

[KingSnake]

The game is like 80GB. This may be one of those games where they dont have a choice.

NBA2k18 is somewhere around 6GB on Switch compared to some 50GB on PS4. So magic is possible.

 

[goldenpp72]

It left Nintendo with a red cartridge no less.

Had a black one too

 

[antonz]

What is Vulkan

Graphics API. Vulkan incidentally plays at least some role in why EA is absent from Switch. Frostbite has still not gotten its Vulkan support

 

[Wamb0wneD]

Remember the Battlechasers dev saying the Switch is too weak for his game and people here arguing in his favour? Fucking lol.

 

[Meaty]

How likely is it that wolfenstein will be downgraded (not talking graphically, but level design and gameplay wise) so it can run on switch?
Legit question, really curious about this.

While I loved New Order it was plagued with issues a last gen game would have. The stages were tiny and the setpieces limited.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

I'm thinking 30hz will be necessary but I'll be pleasantly surprised with 60 if they can pull it off. But holy shitballs I can't believe it's happening at all! I thought a TNO port was a possibility, but not Wolf 2 and Doom.

DOOM at 30fps is...ugh

But I guess is still cool for ppl who only owns a Switch. Personally I'm not interested unless is 60fps.

 

[Gotdatmoney]

The difference in texture size between ultra high and medium is enormous, especially if the ultra high ones aren't compressed at all. Besides the game is coming in 2017 AND there is a Boxart already.

There being a box doesn't mean there wont be any day one patches or the such. But good point on the texture size.

 

[dragonfart28]

Now imagine if they bring it back.

That would be sick af.

It would be sick anisotropic filtering.

16x!

 

[papercan55]

What is Vulkan

My knowledge of these things are awful but it's software that bethesda asked nintendo to add support for in the switch and they added it.
From what i can read online it makes doom run really well.

 

[jackdoe]

I could definitely see a 30fps handheld mode/ 60fps docked mode situation considering the tremendous bump in GPU clock speed when in docked mode.

 

[Rhanitan]

If these have gyro aiming like splatoon they will be the best console versions for me. This also gives me hope that switch can get monster hunter world one day.

Oh thanks i thought it was like some compression tool

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I'm still kind of in shock that Bethesda is supporting this system better than some Japanese third parties.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

And now you tell me 😩

Evil Within cover is also reversible, in case you don't know lol.
