Bethesda won't be keeping Nintendo fans waiting long, as their upcoming Switch port of DOOM will be hitting the eShop and stores on November 10, 2017. Company 'Panic Button' (who is also working on a Rocket League Switch port) will be in charge of getting the game running on Nintendo's latest piece of hardware. DOOM will run at 30fps on the Switch, and suffer some graphical compromises, but going off of footage from id Software, it appears that the game will retain its lighting system. This game is the first of Bethesda Softwork's upcoming partnership with Nintendo, with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus releasing later this holiday, and 2018, respectively.

Everything isn’t about power. The Switch is very powerful considering it’s all on a tablet.Try fitting a PS4 on a tablet and have $350 to do so. Yeah, not gonna happen

when your paying at least £10 more for a diluted game with features removed..... hmmm tell me your "power" argument again?

the switch is not powerful at all, its a tablet that is limited to 720, when tablets have been running higher resolutions for decades. the console struggles to play its games within the first year without lags, in full 1080p (which is old now), games have to have content removed, textures reduced in quality, models, frames the list goes on.

fat chance of it ever pushing the boundries when its limited within the first year.

and FYI ipads have had some quality apps that offer far better resolutions, you would think you was playing a PS4 game but on a tablet.

if the tablet market was to ever get console ports such as DOOM, im pretty sure if gamers would pay the price that it would do a better job at porting the game than the switch can.

do look at some of the iPad specs, or even android before spouting shite about a console nintendo deliberately kept its specs hush hush, because we all know its a cheap ass tablet passing off as a console just so nintendo can combine two markets and save money, and also report/brag how well its selling, fanboys being retarded fail to even combine wii u and 3ds together and see that its not actually sold better.

but hey ho, desperate times for a desperate company, they want to ensure folks cant say its another failure like the wii u

Sub 30 fps, sub 720p with everything on the lowest setting at full retail price of $60, dream come true.

But it's portable, greatest game ever, well worth the price, switch has tons and tons of games now, its amazing how it can run AAA games released on PS4 and XB1

Would've been nice if they had started it at $40. Just means I'll be waiting a bit with this one because of how many great games are being released soon. It looks fantastic in portable mode, low settings or not. The Switch-specific optimizations are impressive.

You really are the Temps biggest dumbass. $300 gets you a decent tablet. Controllers and a dock. How much would that cost with an iPad? At LEAST twice as much. Not to mention the cost for the iPad itself. A comparable Android, variant runs a bit higher than the switch, but you still find yourself limited by the same hardware. Weird, huh? I get that you're anti switch.. But come on. Now it's pathetic.

your question was about being possible and fuck that apple charge shit loads for its products, the point was a tablet could run games and better resolution that the switch can.

im anti paying more for inferior shit with features removed and games dumbed down when like i said, you wouldnt buy cheap brand bread for more than premium.

and you do know hardware wise the switch is expensive compared to the ps4 hardware, which modders have been able to fit into a nice portable shell???

Yeah, RetroBoy is full of shit as usual. Android and iOS tablets/phones are garbage for gaming save perhaps a few emulators. Switch's only real competitor in the same space is GPD Win, and it's not nearly as polished or powerful as Switch.

 

[NatsumiX]

Let him enjoy his "superior" consoles and tablets.
At least we can enjoy some great games and not the same shit that comes out every month on Xboner and PS4.

I mean, if i want to play Call of Duty Battlefield 196720 that plays like the previous game or want the newest crappy games, i'll just play and get it on a pc.
Seriously, i had a PS4 for a week and sold it, i never was so bored in my life with a console.

 

[sarkwalvein]

It is sad, but I think he is being ignored by almost everybody.
And I don't mean ignored through the ignore button, but you just start reading one of his comments and after the first line you say "more of the same shit" and you skip it.
Lately I think he writes only for himself to read his own comments.

 

[KingVamp]

Not going to lie, it is pretty funny to see people trolling for the exact opposite reason.

Both of you, ignore that p.o.s, there's a reason why no one hasn't replied to him yet.
This guy is a shitposter that is so famous most people here ignore his posts whenever they sees his name.

 

[Windaga]

I'm looking forward to trying it out. I travel a lot, and I don't like gaming on my Surface, so this will be a welcome addition.

Shield TV can easily handle 4k (with smooth 4k streaming granted you have 1070 and up) but it definitely does not run game at 4k, at least not triple AAA or even 3d. Neither 845 nor a10x can manage better.

Doom with some graphic downgrades and FPS sacrifices, will probably run decently on switch, but it just makes no sense and doesn't worth to purchase if you own a good gaming pc like me, Doom was originally designed for KEYMOUSE, pc version costs less than a shitty pineapple pizza with ALL FUCKING DLCS included, it supports 4k graphic and has uncapped FPS...

the switch one runs at 30fps LMFAOOOO

P.S. did they also mention dlcs? or Will they probably port them depending on how well goes its sales?

I indeed have a decent pc myself...max graphics, 1080p 60fps in doom(2016) btw. But I still intend to buy it on switch even though I've well enjoyed it on pc already, portability is amazing

 

[Pluupy]

That's...neat, I guess.

I would rather have Elder Scrolls Online or Fallout 4 but this is ...nice.

 

[Dr.Hacknik]

So, we get~ Skyrim, DOOM, Rocket League, and WOLFENSTEIN....
Does this mean we'll get something like Fallout 4 on the Switch.... Phew boy... I think I just had one of those rare Nintendo Fan Orgasms.... Phew boy

...remembers back in the day when playing Stunts (4D Sports Racing) in the PC XT at perhaps 5 FPS when it peaked...
Yes.

 

[Zhongtiao1]

I honestly preferred bomberman when it was at 30fps.

I'll probably wait for wolfenstein, I've played enough doom recently.

Pajama Sam was like 10fps and no one cared

cuphead at 15 fps is hell on earth, though this doesn't need cuphead levels of timing so were fine
