Unpopular opinion, but I am excited for this because I wanted it i my switch. I don’t have a decent enough computer to play it on and I am not home enough to play it on my PS4. So the Switch is kind of my best option to enjoy this game. Before anyone comes in with “But FPS” or “buy a better laptop,” I am very poor and busy, so my limits are buy it for the Switch.

Fair enough but just know the experience is really not worth it unless you're using a mouse and keyboard. That's what really makes you feel like doomslayer.

I am going to be honest with you, I can’t afford to get a better PC, especially a decent enough laptop to play this game. Most of my gaming is done in my wife’s car because I am not home often enough to play at my home. My goal is to be able to play this game at a means most suitable for my current life, which either streaming it or playing it on my Switch. I am going with Switch since I don’t need a constantly good connection to enjoy it on the Switch.

It's amazing how casual we've become in judging a handheld console's graphics against those from home consoles.

I'm really curious to see how it will look, this game suffers to run even on Xbox One, it's very impressive that they managed to make a simple portable console be able to run it.

I mean, is there still interest on this game? The original ran kind of well enough (for a portable console game) and this came out like months later and the game is already very discounted on all other platforms.

the original 2016 on switch came out a year and half latter lol and people bought it so why would this time which has less of a time difference be any different? also the game still hasnt finished the single player dlc so its not like its a 100% finished and nothing new to come.

Because Bethesda stated that it would come out with the other console versions then delayed it months later and knew it would sell like shit that they made it digital only.

I wonder if Nintendo is ever going to go toe to toe with its competitors in terms of hardware capabilities. The 'as long as it's fun' motto is kinda getting old at this point.

nintendo is never going to change their fuck you like it our way or piss off attitude. they got lucky with the switch damn lucky. but their luck is going to run out sooner or later especially if all they do is PORTS

they made it digital only because the game is over 20gb and they didnt want to make another half game like wolfenstein 2 or code only like wolfenstein young blood or pay for 32gb cartridge lol.

Maybe its a good thing, myabe limited run games or something will release a complete edition when all dlc is done, who knows, i would get one with all on cartridge using 32gb ones imo.

There is also the GPD WIN Max...if you make a lot of money and don't mind parting with it for something that has a processor strong enough to run Persona 5 on RPCS3 to give you an idea of how much power is packed into it!

Still, this is running on a Switch!? I remember DOOM 2016 looking like a really blurry mess back when I checked it out last! They must have really gone out of their way with this one!

That's true. But you're talking about games built from the ground up, in which indeed, graphics matter little to nothing. In this case however, we're talking about ports. Porting games and downgrading their graphics to be able to run in the system is a huge turnoff.

What the hell do people expect on a portable/hybrid console? PS5 quality graphics? Bloody hell people are implacable, get a PC.

No shit, it's gonna look worse, what do people want?

No phys? No sell.

Justinde75 · Dec 1, 2020

Well the ps4 version is only 10 euro here in stores so I already grabbed that. But having eternal on switch will be so good too for satisfying my sudden urge to glory kill some demons

Glitchdesu · Dec 1, 2020

I think this might get a lot of crap for it being not as good of quality as the console versions, but if its able to run atleast decent I think it could be a pretty good port.

Kioku · Dec 1, 2020

How terrible are the textures? Also, what's the target resolution? Is it lower than 2016? I mean, getting such a massive title running on truly dated hardware is impressive in its own right.. But this isn't a POC.. It's someone's $60..

Xzi · Dec 1, 2020

Releases for $60 on Switch only once it's down to $20 or less on PC...playing third-party games on Nintendo consoles is as unpleasant as ever, I see.

It's too late

Agreed. Got it on PC already.

Jayro · Dec 1, 2020

There's no reason the game should have been delayed this long, it was already delayed from Nov 2019 to March 2020, that should have been plenty of time to release on all 3 systems at once.
