Pretty amazing feat to get Doom on the switch.

MrFisher213079d ago

Not really. They just downgraded the graphics until it ran. The video I saw looked very downgraded.

Game development is not that easy. If it were that easy then developers wouldn't have to spend days (and sometimes weeks) in the studio trying to meet a deadline.

Optimizations and tweaks need to be made for every game that comes to any platform, Switch included. While development for the Switch has been confirmed to be rather simple, it's not like they can just drop the game on the system, turn a few knobs and call it a day.

The video I saw was the exact same game as the one on PS4 and XB1 with the average consumer not being able to see a difference at all. On the Switches small screen it will look epic.

deafdani3079d ago

If it's that simple, why don't they just do the same with The Witcher 3, Overwatch, etc? Just downgrade the graphics until they run.

You seem to be rather knowledgeable on game development. Why don't you call those developers and enlighten them how it's done, so that they can fill the Switch with more third party games?

Out of all the idiotic things to say, you say that... really?

wonderfulmonkeyman3079d ago

You're probably talking about that "comparison" where someone took screens of off-camera handheld mode instead of a direct feed, and compared it to direct-feed PS4 footage.XD

The game doesn't look as bad as that particular example wants to make people think; honestly aside from a few things being toned down, it looks as close to identical as one can reasonably expect from a $300 hybrid.

porkChop3079d ago

The visuals have barely been downgraded at all. I actually would have preferred they were scaled down a little bit more so we could get 60hz instead of 30hz.

Looking forward to double dipping this holiday. I hope everything runs well and the MP is populated

gtxgamer23078d ago

Considering it'll be the first fps game to make it to the switch I wouldn't be surprised if it's heavily populated

Part of his message is hopeful, but Blackley sees a lot of peril on the road that Microsoft is following. And it makes him worry about the future of gaming.

"I expect that the new CEO, Asha Sharma, her job is going to be as a palliative care doctor who slides Xbox gently into the night."

LOL

Anyway, let's wait and see maybe Mia Khalifa will surprise us.

I’m on the fence about her. I’ll give her chance, but if she is there to finish things off. Well what can you do.

After seeing the article of the possible sunsetting of Xbox as said by Seamus Blackley I believe, I went onto X because of a post I saw. It was a gif of Vegeta powering up, the poster commented as Vegeta yelling “Don’t take my fiercest competitor away from me.” Standing there in his blue Sayian/Freiza corps outfit. So it got me to thinking, so let me ask a question to N4G.

If Vegeta is PlayStation, who would Xbox and Nintendo be in the Dragon Ball universe?

Who would be Master Roshi?

I have my own opinion of course, I just want to see what others think.

And nothing of value will be gained, because Ubisoft will only Ubisoft themselves in the end.
