DOOM Eternal will launch on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch
- Thread starter Dancrane212
- Start date
"will launch on" kind of implies it. Considering Panic Button's experience with idTech (well, 6 but 7 isn't likely to be an entirely new engine) I doubt it would be necessary to be late, especially since this is very likely going to be a 2019 release.
I'm going to end up getting 3 versions of this game. One X at launch (resolution), Switch at the first discount (poop and tear), and PC when it's $20 (144hz monitor).
It's cool they are pushing for release date parity for Switch. For me personally though, I need to experience this on the big screen with as many bells and whistles as possible, but I like that Switch players won't have to wait.
You sold it before you can play Spider-Man? For shame >:(
That's the million dollar question. I would think so. At the very least, it's encouraging to have it announced for the system early on
Edit: I made that in gimp and am actually not a photo editor at all and I have no idea how to keep it so the gif actually moves. =[
Finally, the mystery is solved. lmao.
I'm really hoping for Switch/PC crossplay, because my PC is a potato and I prefer to game on Switch, but the friend I usually game with is a mandatory mouse and keyboard/60 fps kind of guy.
"It's objective because my entitled opinion suggest that because I cannot sacrifice visuals/fps for portability then it must be the absolute truth that the Switch version is the worst for everyone".
Do you even know what "objective" means?
Damn, first time I shall be buying 2 versions of the same game for myself on day 1.
It's just too hard to choose between 4K & portability on a game I know I will finish more than once.

I have a PC that could run this 1440p 144 fps ultra and Im gonna get this day 1 on Switch and later on PC during a sale. Portability is a hell of a thing.
Wolf II features the odd minor tweak to level design in order to make the game run reasonably in certain areas on the switch. Just stuff like the odd wall place here or there to help with things like culling etc. It was also very aggressive in dropping resolution to try and maintain 30 fps. Doom was not quite so aggressive on res dropping but wasn't quite a smooth as Wolf II.
With Panic button being on the Job seemingly earlier in development we could actually see some alterations in levels in order to keep framerate up, although ID Tech 7 can apparently put nearly 10 times the geometry on screen than ID tech 6.
If Doom was an impossible port and Wolf 2 even more impossible then Doom eternal is beyond impossible. Panic button are going to be pushed to the limits on this one.
Will definitely buy for PC. Doom 2016 revitalized my interest in the FPS-genre, much thanks to m+kb+144Hz. :)
You forgot about Wolfenstein II btw ^_^, Ya they may be old ports but Bethesda doing such a good job compare to other 3rd Party developers. Sooner or later I even think Evil Within 1 and 2 ports for switch can be doable ^_^
Very likely going to be a quadrilogy with Wolfenstein: Youngblood! :)
When I can take my PC on the train to work and play during breaks at uni with the same level of convenience as the Switch hit me up
First thing that stood out to me was the gore has been upped and enemies take real time damage which to this long time gamer... is fucking awesome! I love games that let you blow chunks out of your enemies and they just keep coming. Can't wait to see this in action with the bosses.
