Doom For Switch Review - IGN

IGN writes: "Whatever ritual sacrifices had to be performed to fit Doom on Switch were worth it."

lptmg3105d ago

and yet IGN gave the console version a 7.1, go figure
still LOVE this game though!

Xerneas3105d ago

Different reviewers for both games.

michellelynn09763104d ago

Different reviewers, but I think they are looking at the accomplishment. I loved Doom on PS4, so I am gonna love it on the Switch.

2pacalypsenow3105d ago

Lol they gave the Ps4/Xbox 1 and PC which are technically superior a 7.1 but the Switch a 8.5.

I guess you can slap a Nintendo logo to anything and ge a 8+

TallonIV3104d ago

Different reviewers / different opinions

zivtheawesome3104d ago

doesn't matter, if a version performs worse with dips in performance below 30fps very occasionally, it does not deserve an 8.5 no matter how you look at it.

The 10th Rider3104d ago

@zivtheawesome,

Wait, I definitely agree that it's absolutely moronic that IGN game the original version a 7.1 and the Switch version an 8.5, but if a game dipping below 30fps doesn't deserve an 8.5 shouldn't the console versions of Witcher 3 and GTA V have substantially reduced scores?

Prince_TFK3104d ago

Umm because they reviewed it based on what it is, an AAA game shrink down to portable mode? Maybe the sheer accomplishment of doing that added to the point? Maybe because it has improved arena battle mode?

If you read the review, it says the following:

“Doom for Nintendo Switch is a straightforward port that runs well and looks pretty good. Which ultimately, is everything it needed to be. Even though it’s a little fuzzy, smashing through a legion of demons with a fun set of weapons and upgrades feels great, and especially when you throw in arcade mode and the much-improved multiplayer arena battles, this is the best mature-themed shooter you can currently get on the Switch.”

Thunder_G0d_Bane3104d ago

But then the question is can you play Doom on the go on a train with the ps4/xbox/PC? Without it being cumbersome like a laptop needing a mouse or a controller.

wonderfulmonkeyman3104d ago (Edited 3104d ago )

Of course they're technically superior; those are specifically home consoles, meaning the tech inside them is going to be better because the units themselves have more room to squeeze tech into.
The Switch version is being measured by the accomplishment of squeezing down a game made for technically-superior consoles into a hybrid, yet still managing to hit decent levels of graphical/framerate quality.
It's kind of stupid to expect this version to be scored less for not hitting power heights that only purist home consoles and PC's reliably hit.
That's like calling a penguin a lousy bird because it can't fly like other birds.

That’s funny fanboys shouldn’t be allowed to review games from 7.1 to 8.5 higher score even though it’s an inferior version 🙄

wonderfulmonkeyman3104d ago

It's only inferior due to the tech inside of the machine, not because of any fault of the developers.

This version is being judged by the feat of squeezing a normally high-power game into a portable while still maintaining decent levels of quality.
Not because it's somehow superior graphically to its contemporaries.

_-EDMIX-_3104d ago

Absolutely agreed

this is a classic Fanboy paid off review.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio12d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing12d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9212d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit12d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing12d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
