Panic Button did 2 so they'll obviously do Youngblood on Switch IMO. :)
I'll be getting this for the Switch too. Playing big games like Doom during lunch is such a game changer for me.
I hope this time they will have gyro in for the Switch version on day 1! Also, I hope they'll have enough time to squeeze in some extra optimitzation for the performance. I'm still not sure if this is for me though, I'll probably grab the first one on Switch if there's a good deal going.
Any idea when youngbloodnis coming? I mean surely Panic Button is only big enough to do one port job at a time, or at least that's how it seems.
That's a guarantee considering Wolfenstein 2 had it there day one. It's practically a required feature for Switch shooters at this point lol.
IIRC they've expanded a fair bit after last year. They also managed to work on both DOOM and Rocket League (and likely Wolf 2 as well) last year and they're working on Warframe right now. Considering Youngblood is going to share a lot of DNA with Wolf 2 I can't imagine it'd too tough for them.
I was unconciously feeling the gameplay wiht the music and bobbing my head.
It is great.
Lemme hear a HELL YEAH!
"Skyrim on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"DOOM on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"Wolfenstein II on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"ARK on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"Fortnite on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"Warframe on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
...
That's been a recurring refrain for every ambitious Switch port since launch.
"Skyrim on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"DOOM on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"Wolfenstein II on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"ARK on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"Fortnite on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
"Warframe on Switch? It's going to be pushed to the limits."
...
Amen and hallelujah. No gyro, no play!

Panic button did an AMA last month and disclosed they don't like focusing on single projects. Team members juggle between 4 to 6 games at any given time.
Which is mind boggling to me because there are real costs to context switching.
No, they stated before they are working on multiple projects almost always. I mean, they announced the Warframe port less than a month ago!
Fuck yes, Switch is what made me complete Doom 1, I'm all in!***
*** if the campaign is entirely onnthe cartridge.

The Day 1 release on Switch has me wondering what the platform split will be, as we don't have a lot of data on multiplatform AAA games on Switch.
Panic Button doing work again.
Also probably a good indication that Bethesda was pleased enough with the other Doom game saleswise on the Switch.
I'll pick it up on the Switch just to support Bethesda's continued support of the system.
Will wait for the eventual massive discounts on Steam for my PC high fidelity goodness...if I decide to pick it up again

It clearly does since you seem to love bringing it up at every other opportunity.
We get it. You don't care about portability. Many other people do. It's not their "problem".
It wasn't amazing but it was good enough to work well, especially with gyro aiming. It aimed for 30fps but dipped quite heavily in certain areas and had a dynamic 720p resolution which hovered around the 600p mark docked and lower in portable. If you're purely playing in docked mode and have other consoles/a PC then I wouldn't bother with Doom Eternal for Switch, but having it portability is going to be a game-changer for a lot of people.
Depends on how picky you are about res/fps. I beat the original doom on a gaming PC at 1080p with locked 60fps and had no issues with the switch version. Has dynamic resolution which isn't painfully noticeable on the handheld screen except in certain areas and runs at mostly stable 30fps (with some dips, particularly if you jack up the difficulty/play arcade with tons of enemies). Other people seemed to say they had more issues, but I thought it was fantastic and was more than willing to trade off the compromises for DOOM on the go, in bed, or on the toilet. Thought it looked good enough docked too, but I'm not someone who lives or dies on resolution and my only issue with framerates are if it is unstable and drops constantly.
I like the switch support from the dev/pub. Still haven't finished the first one on switch, I find the game really hard (playing on normal), haven't had the time to master the controls.
Super excited that switch is getting released at the same time as the other platforms (looking at you dark souls).

It is an option because there are people like me who don't care that much about the graphical differences as long as the game looks well and play well, in the end it is the same game.
it is an option for people who want a portable version.
if resolution/frame rate are the only thing that matters everyone would've been playing only on PC. consoles are there and they are successful because there are people willing to sacrifice some performance/image quality for the option of pick up and play, and also because they get rid of the need to think about the hardware and its upgrades.
how a unique option in the market that help to reach more audience is a bad thing ???
you can choose the version you want, the game is coming to all platforms, but everyone has their own preferences.
anyway, I actually didn't like the first Doom that much. it was good, but nothing special to me honestly.
but I'm gonna give this game a chance, and I hope it delivers.
I'll be playing it at 30fps while on my way to the work instead of 0fps and 0 resolution on other versions. Thanks for thinking about my problem though.
480p let's goooo. To be fair it's cool that Switch is getting it even though I'd never dream of playing it anywhere other than PC. I just want to see the tech report on it from Digital Foundry.
One could argue that gyro controls are a huge argument in favour of the Switch version
Great news, day 1 Switch.
It's all in the eye of the beholder. For me gyro aiming and portability makes it the best version.
I'd rather go through that problem than yours, which is having some vendetta against a plastic piece of hardware, entering any Switch thread you want to start crap. It's pathetic, dude. Aren't you an adult?
A lot of people would rather be able to play it anywhere then have a prettier looking version, all versions can do well
With that being said, yay for Switch version!
Edit: I forgot about Gyro controls to which is a huge plus, so no matter if you play docked or undocked, the game will be great on Switch!

I wouldn't be so sure. 2019 is supposedly the year 32gb cartridges become affordable for publishers. Doom 2016 was about 22gb on Switch.
With all four versions coming out simultaneously, it'll be very interesting to see how the Switch version fares against the other three.
PC for me personally, but hey, to each their own. Wonder if we can get a poll on the OP to see which version(s) people are planning on getting?
