Doom 3 was ported by Panic Button, so I'm going to say you're probably wrong about that one.
Doom and Doom 2, though, no idea.

It looks pretty bad in the X as far as textures go. Seems like a rerelease of the BFG Edition Doom 3

Didn't this release for all systems today? Just curious if I missed it in the thread

It's doesn't mean they're not using unity. Neither I can tell that.

Sure, it doesn't mean they're not, but it also doesn't not mean they're not.
I'm going to give Panic Button the benefit of the doubt that it's a proper port unless someone has evidence to the contrary.

Nobody here is forcing you to ask that mind you. People have the right to know if they're indeed using Unity before buy... whether you want it or not.

If you don't want to know if Doom 3 use Unity fine, suit yourself, but don't prevent others from being informed or ask about it.Sorry, but
Will I have to draw for you too or will you quote anyone who asks about it?

I am absolutely against anyone investigating this issue, as I've apparently made plain in my previous posts.
Do not attempt to cross me on this.

Forced online sign in DRM?
Fuck you Bethesda, out of pure principal.

I'm more upset about Nintendo allowing this to be on their platform. Nintendo has become a part of the problem for a while now unfortunately...
I'm referring to 1 and 2, Doom 3 still on the original engine I suppose
Of course, because IDKFA.

True, but the sad part is that it will all be expressed in harmless memes, and people will just accept this as a whole.
Other publishers to follow after the soft testing success of this, then lead to everything else.

I think they botched the ios port of DOOM. The gun layout is different, the controls are different, and it doesn’t feel as fluid as the 32-bit version. I wonder who Bethesda hires for this? John Carmack’s 32-bit version was far superior.

And the snes version and you had the option to play online in 1995.

Wait... You have to remain connected to the internet to play 3 x games on a handheld system that has NO online play? Seems to defeat the purpose of having a Switch if you can't play on the go.

I believe it's just for the initial log in.

I was keyed in on this when they ported the same 2011 game on multiple systems for nearly a decade (sometimes multiple times on the same system ala ps4 getting two versions of skyrim) at full fucking price each time.
Also the Diablo Immortal shit.

Just quoted your post. Now I got different words to display under it on a message board.

Looks like I'm going to stay away from Doom 1 and 2, apparently the music plays slower than in the original. Probably a side effect of switching to Unity.
Hopefully Doom 3 is a simple port of the previous versions without any issues (other than the main menu Internet connection requirement).

it is an odd decision not to do your own portable little engine considering the source code adaptations for tons of systems giving you a good solid base.
The music being synced to the framerate is odd... was it the same for their BFG edition ports? Those actually looked decent with some decent higher resolution rendering...

Prefer the classic gameplay... not focusing on vertical aim and investing in fast hectic moving gameplay was a thing that made Doom well Doom for me.
Yeah there's no real point and just makes it harder. Except when you play with Mods with much higher vertical maps where you might need it.
I think it was originally implemented for Hexen and Heretic, as the Wings would allow you to fly - WHERE MY HERETIC PORT
I always use to play co-op, turn my friend into a chicken with that egg spell, and they could then fly to hidden areas and shortcuts
So here's something horrendous I noticed with Doom II on Switch. If you pause your game and them put the Switch into sleep mode, when you try to resume your game a message saying 'disconnected from Bethesda...' will keep pausing the game every 5 seconds until you close the software and start again. How this affects offline gaming I don't know, but this could seriously bork the whole point of having it on Switch. This needs patching ASAP.
Edit: so I've just been for a walk away from my house and Wi-Fi to see if I could still play these games without an internet connection, and yes - you can once you get past the warnings about having no internet connection etc. It says you won't be able to use network features but there aren't any at present...maybe they'll be patching in online deathmatch and co-op at some point in the future?

No it's not. Bought Doom 1+2 on Switch, done the initial log in but cant play without an internet connection. Keeps asking to log before you can play it
This is fucking bollocks. I want my money back.

And if you play without any of the above, you are a scrub.
