Look I'll probably get the game it's just annoying.

Look I'll probably get the game it's just annoying.
The Doom 1 and 2 ports are garbage. Stretched sprites, no way to turn off the side bar art, lack of customizable controls, etc. These are not hard things to get right, I don't understand how they get this shit wrong.
It's not exactly 16:9 but yeah it's stretched slightly, doesn't really look crappy though, still crisp, but everything is kind of elongated.
Also the iOS version sucks. The controls are garbage and I don't get it. The very original release from like 10 years ago felt great but now, not so much. I guess the silver lining in all of this is I have Doom on my Switch? 🤷♂️
Wow, I had absolutely no idea this was ever a thing. Always thought it was really odd, but no idea that DOS was 70Hz and CRT was as well for a while. That's really interesting!
That one is gone BTW. You can't even download it anymore unless you have Doom 3 BFG on disc.
How are the ports compared to bfg? Bfg was wonky on PS3, Doom 1 and 2 had frequent framerate issues and 3 had a very aggressive dynamic resolution because ps3's took weak for 3.
I bought Doom and Doom 2 on the NS. I have to say, the lack of gyro aiming REALLY sucks. I have a hard time aiming at stuff and end up doing the strafe aiming which feels terrible. I wish they gave us the option to have gyro because as it stands now I don't know how far I'll be able to go in the game. Game runs great, though.
What the fuck
How do they fuck this up. It took 6 years into the gen and we get this?
Here's the DF review of the PS3 and Xbox 360 ports for anyone that's interested.
I still haven't gotten home yet to try these out.

The Doom 1 and 2 ports are super basic. And the music is slowed down. Still worth buying, but these ports are disappointing.
Booted up Doom 3 on Switch and was surprised to see it 60fps. Seeing Panic Button during the opening splash screens gave me hope, but it it was still a nice surprise. Hoping the framerate holds up through the experience.
On the Nintendo E-Shop yes, not onthe German Psn store. Looks like the Ps3 Version is also gone.
I don't think Panic Button did the ports of these for the NS. At least I didn't see their logo anywhere like the other games they've worked on.
Also, gonna add that I think these ports are super basic and obviously done on the cheap. Not being able to get full screen is a serious oversight. Oh well, I'll work my way through the games anyway since the last time I've messed with the originals was on the original Xbox.
Panic Button did the Doom 3 port for all current platforms, but they didn't port the first two games, like you said.
i just spent more on my lunch than i will on this game, but this video really sold it on me. The stretching doesn't seem as bad as i thought it'd be
Watching this makes me want to play so bad. Can't wait until I get home from work.
I see.
If you or anybody want it then grab it from the US PSN as it will probably be gone from there soon. It is the most complete version and has everything aside from Doom 64.
Why do you need gyro aiming? There's no Y axis in these games.
SLOWED DOWN!!!???
Like the XBLA/PS3 port of Wolf3D!!???
Oh.... Oh God... Not like this :(
It looks really clean portable, dare I say native res. If its not native, then its pretty close because it has that crisp look of a native res game. Some of the posters/billboard textures look lower res than you would expect, but the screens that you interact with look nice and clean so far.
Really hoping DF does a deep dive on this.
I've been trying to get an answer to this for awhile, since it seems you've actually been able to play them both, does the DOOM II port on Switch include No Rest for the Living ?
Yeah. Being able to fine tune the horizontal shooting would mean strafe shooting would be much better. Much like playing with a mouse/keyboard. The NS should allow for this fairly easily.
Over the last few years I've made my way through the Doom games again, mainly on Xbox BC. Lots of fun! I've still got Doom 3 BFG disc sitting there to play... wonder if I should get it on Switch instead now? :D
Also, you have no idea how much I wished this news was Doom 64! Would love to play that again on a console with the usual dual stick etc enhancements. Going back to stock N64 ver is tough and I don't want to play on PC.

And it's a shame because the Wolfenstein arcade machines in the two Switch ports have gyro controls, and they work beautifully.
DOOM 1 and 2 were designed to be played with just a keyboard though, you don't even need to use a mouse on the PC versions.
Yeah, looks native 1080p on a TV to me, but I'm no expert.
Runs at 60fps but has some drops when lits of lighting effects are going on.
Game has flashlight shadows turned off by default. It is smoother with them turned off but it's still not locked 100% of the time.
Seems like a cool way to play the game. I haven't tried portable yet.
After playing a bit more of Doom 1, the game is way too bright. You can't be in the dark. :( Like they really fucked this up. I ducked back into the XBLA port of Doom and it is way better. I'm hoping they did better with Doom 3.
It's funny because I don't think I've ever played DOOM with just a keyboard. Not saying it can't be played with dual analog, but the aiming REALLY feel clunky and not so smooth, which is the nature of dual analog in the first place. I'd like to play it with better control when aiming horizontally...if possible.
