I'm sure we'll get a great DF video going over everything. Thankfully the framerate is alright. I've definitely experienced drops, but they haven't been consistent or dramatic as far as I can tell.

Jon replied here that the Doom Switch coverage will go up on Saturday with Digital Foundry.

I picked up a physical copy this morning, just been playing at work but haven't connected to wifi yet. How much space is needed for the day one patch and multiplayer going physical?

I find the joycon has a kind of deadzone before it responds. No problem when using shotgun, but it makes it hard to aim further away. I will keep practising!

Have you tried reducing the 'Look Smoothing' value in controller settings? This applies a response curve to the right analog input to avoid small analog movements resulting in large reticle jumps, but it also contributes to the deadzone feeling you describe. You might want to play around with it some as it's fairly high by default.

Multiplayer is 9.1GB (I think) so along with the patch I'd evaluate about 10GB? (I have no idea how big the patch is.)

I wasn't going to get this having finished it on a PC ages ago, but damn it guys... Why why did thou tempt me

Day 1 patch is 8GB is my understanding.

I have the ps4 version, but in the same boat. Listening to the soundtrack today in Spotify. I will wait and see if there is a sale for this title. I don't mind dipping again, but not at full price again.

Quick question, how hot does this get while playing handheld?

My Switch gets fairly warm playing SMO and MK8 while docked, but fairly cool undocked.

With the Switch being a tablet the heat it generates in the dock bothers me, I really wish there was a more air flow friendly design. If this game doesn't nuke the system with heat I will probably scoop it up.

It didn't get hot at all, or at least not to where I noticed. I only played for about an hour, so extended play sessions may be different.

I'm happy with the game and I'm impressed that they managed to get it running as well as it is. It has just been interesting to see the concessions that had to be made.

rubbishmonkey · Nov 10, 2017

Noooooo! I bought it on a whim digitally and I dont have enough time to download it before my bus dammit

MattB · Nov 10, 2017

Only downside I thought i would be able to play it without the patch but sadly it won't let me.

tazmin · Nov 10, 2017

I don't know if I should get this digital or physical

Deleted member 16743 · Nov 10, 2017

I can't find the details of the day 1 patch.. anyone know what *fixes* are in it? I'd rather not download Multiplayer but if there's something pretty important in there then I can be convinced.

Ah, so no choice then. Nadgers.

GulAtiCa · Nov 10, 2017

Oh sweet, my copy just got shipped from Amazon and should now arrive tomorrow (instead of Tuesday)

I've played for about 2 hours this morning. 1 round of MP, the rest campaign. Coming off a full charge, my battery is now at 26%.

Visuals are all over the place. Sometimes I'm shocked by how good it looks, a lot of times it's rough. All screenshots from handheld.

Not that this port doesn't make several compromises, but I had the same opinion of the game maxed on PC.

Triple dipped

PC on release, PS4 from a sale, now Switch. Excited again.

EDIT: This should be the official trailer to be honest

Haha incredible!

Herb Alpert · Nov 10, 2017

Amazon.fr didn't ship my copy dammit. They won't until monday and I'll get the game Tuesday or wednesday.
F**k

Cyanity · Nov 10, 2017

Just wanted to hop in and say that I love the title, lol. Already have the game on PC, so I'm gonna skip it on Switch, but I hope it's successful so we can get more FPSes on the system!

There have been multiple people saying otherwise. If you have a physical copy, you can just decline the update when you launch the game.

Thanks! I will try that.

I keep getting an error every time saying the game needs a patch. I hit later and it just keeps popping up with the same error.

That's....odd. Take your system offline.

That worked!

ghostship · Nov 10, 2017

I just got an Nintendo Newsletter email entitled "It runs DOOM".

Doesn't quite top "Yes, this year!" on the page announcing Xenoblade 2's release date, but I do like this "yes online malcontents, we're watching you" approach to marketing.

GoldCartridgeGamer · Nov 10, 2017

Still amazing how this game looks.

I totally agree, but also how it plays
I cant believe I'm playing it at work!

RandomTiger · Nov 10, 2017

If any Doom owners have framerate impressions on handheld in nightmare or arcade please do post them!

Relix · Nov 10, 2017

Does digital include the day 1 too?

Heazy · Nov 10, 2017

works really well, looking forward to picking up in a sale in the future

How long until I can run Doom 2016 on my calculator?

WellbornWarrior · Nov 10, 2017

Glad it turned out okay but I hope they can tone the seemingly excessive dynamic resolution down for Wolfenstein 2 next year.

MattB · Nov 10, 2017

I had audio problems and it is extremely blurry in handheld. I'm gonna let the patch go through and see what happens.

Just tried this, makes a significant difference in how responsive the game feels. Thanks for the heads up. Changing that and increasing the sensitivity makes everything snappier.

Anyone know what the photo mode is about? On the controller options it shows that you click the left stick for photo mode, but it doesn't seem to do anything while playing the campaign.

I just tried it and reduced it from 50 to 30.
it made everything feel more responsive

How is that possible? I am at work and haven't patched or even connected to the internet and I have been playing fine.

pulsemyne · Nov 10, 2017

Again for people complaining of blur switch off the motion blur. Also I noticed what they have been doing in handheld mode, go outside and res drops to cope with big environment, go inside and it jumps up. When you think about that makes sense.

Lunchbox · Nov 10, 2017

I hope this does well :-) will pick up a physical copy down the line.

Yeah, pretty much every time there's fire on screen it gets rough.

mocolostrocolos · Nov 10, 2017

Thank you Bethesda and Panic Button for this incredible port.

Who would've thought a year ago that we'd be playing the most violent fps of the moment on a Nintendo hardware while we're waiting for the bus or taking a dump.

Makes you wonder where we're reaching.

The problem is that the patch containing multiplayer also contains QOL fixes. So if you don't download the multiplayer you're also missing out on anything that they ever patch for the game.

Neiteio · Nov 10, 2017

I just knocked out another chapter. This game is a MUST-HAVE. It's an incredible port, and it's straight-up epic having this next to Odyssey and BotW on your home menu.

lgndryhr said:

It actually looks even better than this with default settings, it looks like this guy jacked up the gamma

Puroresu_kid · Nov 10, 2017

Fuck you Amazon. Looks like No delivery today.

I played this game last night with my new marseille gaming edition mcable that supposedly does post-processing to the video signal
So I probably saw this game as good as it was gonna look on my 4Ktv without using emulation

It looked just... ok.

It's not as bad as I was thinking it was gonna look, but you can clearly tell this game is barely 720p at times even in docked mode.

Someone correct me if I am wrong but the cable works best the closer the game is to the systems output. Try setting the switch to 720p and see if that helps.

MattB · Nov 10, 2017

I for the love of God can not get use to dual stick. Gotta keep practicing.

SpartyCrunch · Nov 10, 2017

I'm not really interested in buying this game for Switch, but I'm so incredibly happy at what id was able to achieve with the hardware! This bodes really well for the future and I can't wait to see what other developers can do with it with even more time.

It was quite the argument at the other forum and there were plenty besides myself.

All your praise should be directed at Panic Button!.

In terms of the future, let's hope this sells better than other mature third party efforts on Nintendo platforms.

NameUser · Nov 10, 2017

Just went to the other site by accident, old muscle memory, and I noticed their OT has a similar name. Funny. Anyway, I've decided to give this a try :)

srhltmr · Nov 10, 2017

General consensus from playing it? Worth the money?

I ask because I have it as something I want for Christmas.

Imad issa · Nov 10, 2017

Small taste of frame rate comparison here till DF come up tomorrow. Graphics seem to be downgraded heavy in some areas in the comparison, frame rate seems unlocked.
