Nintendo, you sly dogs, the shitty d-pad was for recreating WASD controls in Doom this whole time!
They're not. Gamepad in pc designed games are hacks. You cant optimally tackle the large mobs that come with higher difficulties. You cant react properly. You cant move as well. With the speed of the game, you cant even go through a door without bumping into three walls until you succeed.
I remember watching some Halo video long time ago, where it mentioned how one of the good points of Halo was that it made an fps game tailored made for what consoles are equiped with. It felt right and that it belonged on a console. Whereas until then you had fps games on consoles, but they were almost all of them ports of PC tailored made games. So they never felt right. They never felt finely tuned for the platform because they were always shoehorned into platforms that didnt have tools for which the games were tailored made for
Yeah, you're right. I didn't notice Final, but the less I have to go through one more damn room with chaingunners on some high platform, the better. It's not a huge loss. But I definitely saw Master Levels in the description for Doom II.
It's not false, the eShop pages got pushed live prematurely; the games will go up after the QuakeCon keynote.
it went up too early, it's probably a Quakecon announcement. just wait 30 mins
Well I know what I'm getting with my next paycheck.
They haven't been officially announced yet, the pages went up prematurely. They should be announced at Quakecon today.
For the record I was fine with Doom 3 atmosphere and take on the series. Both the PS1 Doom and Doom 64 go for a more horror focus than the PC originals and it's still great because the gameplay was still good.
Doom 3's game play turns into a boring corridor shooter about two hours in and the environment feels copied and pasted together and quickly loses appeal and feeling of dread with monster closets. You quickly learn to always anticipate to look behind you in new rooms because of the spawning monsters and it becomes old fast.
Not mention the gun play itself is just too weak and water-downed compared to the originals.

Yes, this wasn't particularly hard to theorize about, but: I called it (and the only answer I remember was "no that's stupid").
is doom 3 good? never played it. should probably be worth one playthrough at that price.
eshop pages probably went up early by mistake, they'll be back.
Does this port even have Y-axis aiming? It would be cool to just get a straight gzdoom port, but I'm not expecting it.
I didn't like Final Doom much either (but It would have been great to be included anyway). Good to see Master Levels seems to be in. That means No Rest for the Living has a chance!
I do agree DOOM 3's gunplay is the weakest in the series, for what it's worth.
Thats extremely accurate. A game like Doom 16 would have been market as primitive and an involution. A year where Far Cry was doing large open areas with phenomenal AI and multiple ways of tackling situations and Half Life 2, with its setpieces, variation, sophistication and physics - a Doom 16 style game would have been panned to oblivion. They would've said its a game that presents itself as if the last 10 years never happened. As if games like Thief, Delta Force, Half Life, System Shock 2, Deus Ex or No One Lives Forever didnt happen. A simplistic, one trick pony game that is out of place in todays market.
Doom 3 was just right. It came out with the form it should have.
Reminder that Doom 64 is more relevant to the plot of the modern Doom games than Doom 3 is.
Bring Doom 64 to Switch plz.
Also give me Doom Slayer in Smash.

Per the article, "DOOM and DOOM II are both priced at £3.99; DOOM 3 is slightly more expensive at £7.99."
It's year old thread. Probably gemes were delisted by then.
25th anniversary was in 2018
Thanks. Wish for a whole package still but I'll take whatever they give. Buying a 20$ code right away
Well, if that's you're feeling only, that's totally fine obviously.
I definitely do not agree, though. Not even a little. I love both Doom 64 and Doom 3. Would have been a shame if Doom 3 didn't exist as is.
...and a Doom 64-like Doom 3 in 2004 would have been panned and considered a failure even if it were revered years after its release.
Absolutely nutty. I think this will make me plug the switch back in and give original doom a go.
Is there such thing as a 'bad' Doom game? They're all pretty much benchmarks in the FPS genre. Hence why, an announcement of a 25 year old game on a handheld system can generate 8 pages on a forum post after 1 hour!
If you go into it expecting something different from Doom you'll dramatically increase your chances of enjoying it. It's much more in the vein of a survival horror or immersive sim game than it is a fast paced Doom game.
Doom 64 is great, but sadly most people looked down on it when it came out. I very much remember it being made fun of for being so close to Doom 1 and 2 and using sprites for enemies.
Holy shit! Gonna be a day one purchase for me!
I've been waiting for these games to come to Switch. This makes me happy.
