UPDATE: The online servers are now up and I just played a couple matches. They are BUTTER smooth and very enjoyable, which gives the game fantastic replay value if you enjoy online multiplayer! Thank you all for watching this vid, the views have been great so far!
Did anyone else noticed since DOOM got announced all developers who use to say switch is too weak to run their game no longer say that and make other lame excuse.
Square put FFXV on the switch and run decently on some parts,but wasn't good enough obviously, without optimization, if someone tries to tell that Switch has no power... square will smash their face.
A really good sign that Nintendo can succeed with 3rd Party blockbusters. Bodes well for Skyrim on Switch coming soon... I hope this paves the way for Fallout on Switch. THAT would be incredible.
Dimitrelos300 I’d be happy with a Switch exclusive Fallout game. Doesn’t necessarily have to be Fallout 4. A port of Fallout 3 or New Vegas would be nice, if they could pull it off.
I agree... but that doesn't mean they won't.... sometime back a retailer released a listing for Fallout 4 on Nintendo Switch that has since been taken down-- I think its coming but Fallout 4 might be a bit more difficult and thats why its taking longer-- but if these two do good im sure they will.
Why would I expect PS4 graphics on a Nintendo Switch? If graphics are so important to you play on PC. Everybody knows PC versions of games look better than PS4 graphics but I don't constantly hear people asking do PS4 graphics look as good as the PC graphics for games? We all already know the answer. Can we now move onto important stuff like is the game fun?
Jamie Lishbrook nope, I really don't know how I missed it. Never had nice PCs to run games like doom, I was always a system behind, or I had a Nintendo system. Just never played a Doom.
Wow that's weird, AllPro777 ... I'm a Nintendo fan and for some reason this game is going to show up on my doorstep. We better notify the post office because a mistake has obviously been made! /s
AllPro777 I'm a Nintendo fanboy you may say... My favourite game series is Zelda and I'm excited to get this sometime within the next month. Regardless of price and frame rate, even after the story the multiplayer will keep me occupied for a while so I think it's worth every penny
SIGH. Nintendo fans are a trip. We're not about to argue a fact guys. I'm not going to let you. Just look at the SALES NUMBERS OF MATURE GAMES ON NINTENDO PLATFORMS VS. NON MATURE GAMES. There is nothing to debate. Stop it.
AllPro777 I'm not disagreeing I'm just saying there are some Nintendo fans who are willing that's all. I'm not bias either as I frequently play PC and PS4... This just happens to be a game I'd like to play on the go, there are many who won't buy, with it being M rated, probably 90% or something like that
Yeah it's mind blowing how they succesfully converted doom 2016 to the switch without dramatical downgrades. Remember backthen,when snes games were dramatically cut down to run on gameboy but we were just happy to be able to play those reiterations on the go.
Snes/Genesis games needed some gameplay downgrades as well from arcade games like Final Fight having less sprites on screen and Super Hang On's reduced frame rate though. Funny how the "arcade games" of yore were kind of like the "PC version" of today. But you're right about the Gameboy, it was fun at the time to have it portable.
johneygd how were the downgrades not dramatic? They cut the framerate in half. Go look at the textures they look atrocious. It can even maintain 30 there's literal slowdowns in this video itself... But he said he didn't notice any 😂
No matter how great it is, I can't bring myself to paying full retail price for a 8 month old game. Maybe will pick this up down the road when it's on sale. If I could wait this long I can wait longer haha... Great review, Shawn!
To be fair, if you're used to 60+ FPS, going to 30 FPS feels abysmal. Not only does the game look worse in motion, but it PLAYS worse because the frame rate affects the smoothness of aiming.
Then don't get the f*cking Switch version and stick with the PC/PS4 version. No one's making you get it on the Switch. And what if you don't own any other version and you want it on Switch? What about that? Did you even think to consider that people want to play it on Switch? No? Didn't think so. BFD.
Chubzdoomer practically every fps i own is on wii 360 ps2 and xbox classic because I CANT FUCKING AFFORD XBOX ONE OF PS4! Also my PC isn't nearly powerful enough for doin so you know. Stop being a selfish brat. We cant all afford a 500 dollar console.
+Jamie Lishbrook How am I selfish because I have standards? (P.S. There are 60 FPS first-person shooters on 360 as well. Like virtually every Call of Duty in existence.)
Played Doom III BFG Edition on the Nvidia Shield TV and was happy with the quality of the game. Someone asked Bethesda if we would get Doom (2016) on the Shield TV and they laughed saying it would not be possible to run on a mobile Tegra processor. Guess who's laughing now!? Preordered for my switch!! Hahaha
Michael Crook Developers want to make money and the Switch is selling as it's projected to sell close to, if not slightly over, 14 million within its first year of release. That's with a shortage and that'll be more than the lifetime sales of the Wii U, which I also have and love. A lot of developers are jumping on board now, except EA, as games are selling on it as well. I think it was The Know that mentioned the attached rate for the Switch is 4 games, which is quite a bit as that's 4 games sold for every Switch purchased. Usually it'll be 1 or 2 as most people would buy a system and pick up a game or 2 to play. They'll then build their collection.
I've been playing doom on switch for five months and absolutely fell in love with it, it was one of my first games I owned. I got it the day after Christmas when my dad bought it from Best Buy secretly. I was unsure of it at first, but now my favorite hobby is ripping demons arms out and whacking them across the head with it. (That is also my favorite glory kill)
Why would you enjoy the Switch version aside from portability? There is literally no difference other than graphical fidelity and the fact you can plan it on the go.
Cruisey DFR I didn't like the ps4 controller never have I just found it very frustrating to control with doom on the ps4.I preferred the joy con controls on switch which felt more comfortable to me.I also felt doom works better as a handheld game as you can play it in short bursts. As played for too long on console it can get repetitive but this is just my opinion.
I'll agree with you there. I too despise the PS4 controller. I've never been a huge fan of any version of them. I prefer the Xbox controllers and the Pro Controllers on the Wii/Wii U. I haven't tried the Switch Joy Cons yet so I can't comment but I can agree with the short bursts with Doom. I used to play it on the PC for hours but something was different back then.
Cruisey DFR Yeah when using the ps4 controller I quite often miss enemies and die frequently.This doesn't happen for some reason with the joy cons as I can hit enemies with more accuracy but the game still remains challenging. It's like the analogue sticks of the ps4 controller are over sensitive which makes it frustrating in a fast paced game like doom.I never played doom on the pc what method of controls did you prefer using a keyboard and mouse for the best accuracy maybe?
I already pre purchased it as soon as it was available. Thank you for putting my mind at ease. I've never played it and I'm really looking forward to playing it.
So disappointed there's no motion aiming. Motion aiming is the closest consoles can get to a mouse. The Switch is the only console that really has it, and it's totally ignored in the first proper FPS on the system. I can't believe it! What a missed opportunity. Yeah, we have to make concessions in graphics, but they had a chance to have one over the other consoles in the controls department, and they blew it. What a shame. Nintendo is committed to pushing motion control, and in this case where it's actually a perfect fit, it's nowhere to be found. I don't get it.
FreyDasher yes but that decision is ultimately up to Bethesda. All Nintendo can do is encourage features but they can’t force them down developers throats.
Gewdvibes I'd actually guess it was a Panic Button decision, but ultimately it doesn't matter. I don't blame Nintendo, and I don't even like the word "blame" in this case, as despite my disappointment, I still think having Doom on the Switch at all is a big win for Nintendo fans. But it's just such a bizarre choice to make...it would be like Microsoft releasing Forza without racing wheel support. Is it still a great game? Sure it is. But why send it out there with one arm tied behind its back? An unforced error, any way you slice it. I understand that motion control has a bad rep, and I understand that a lot of people think it's universally inferior, but that's because they don't know any better. It bums me out when people who really ought to know better (i.e. developers) simply don't. Now I'm afraid Wolfenstein won't have motion aiming, either, because clearly they don't think it's a relevant feature. And I'm further confused by the fact that motion aiming IS in Skyrim...I mean, what is that about? How does that happen? It's just bizarre.
Just looked it up since almost everyones going on about price and how you can get it for "10 bucks" just looked it up 25 pre owned 30 new is it cheaper on the ps4 and other systems? Yes, But stop trying to make it sound like their charging you an arm and a leg for it, you get this for the switch and you get doom on the go and all the dlc included not a bad deal
I won't be getting the Switch version, because I already have the PC version and I generally don't like to double dip on game purchases. But I am certainly happy to know Panic Button did a great job porting this to Switch. Hope everyone who buys this has a great time with it.
I'd honestly rather have a stable 30 like the switch version than a choppy and inconsistent 60. I've always said, when it comes to FPS, it's not about the number itself, it's about the consistency.
Played in undocked mode last night and I love it. Can’t believe how it looks on the switch. At last the Switch is not just a kids console. Well worth your money 😀😀
I just subscribe you. Love how you introduce a game very briefly from its history of other console and your true experience from the game and very useful review as a gamer. Nice content. love
Oscar Torres oh, sorry bro. My bad. Yeah I'd love to buy this but it's hard at full cost. Doom is a little more understandable but skyrim is just ridiculous
Includes all the dlc, marketing campaign expenses, paying for the labor to port the game, and cartridge games are more expensive to manufacture. Those, more likely than not, are the things likely contributing to the game's overall price. Then of course we have personal circumstances. I don't have a PS4 (yet), Xbone, or PC so I never got to this play this game. For me it will be a first time purchase, and (like it is for this guy's case) it will have more value to me as I will be able to easily carry it around with me and play it whenever I have the time. I have a long bus ride to work everyday, having games like this so readily available makes it more than worth it for people like me.
The Switch footage looked dark compared to how it looked on my PS4. Is the RGB setting and Brightness setting setup properly before you captured footage? Hmm... Fantastic video btw.
I beat it on PS4 last year then beat eternal shortly afterwards. Just got a switch but still thinking about getting it cause I'd like to experience in hand held format
Man I can't wait to get my hands on this tomorrow. I think out of Doom, LA Noire , Skyrim, and Resident Evil. I'll probably spend all of my time playing Doom. Lol Great review by the way!!
Oscar Torres have you played doom already? If so, don't it's a good game but if you haven't, after the story, some arcade runs and multiplayer you'll probably get 40 hours out of it, it's missing snap map which is one of the games best features.
Oscar Torres I wasn't a huge fan of xenoblade. Never played any of the games and when I saw that they were making a new one, I wasn't impressed. But since releasing a bunch of trailers for it, I kinda wanna get it.
This looks like an amazing port far exceeding anyone's expectations for a portable console. I'm impressed, this would have been a day 1 buy for me if I didn't already own and play the crap out of the XB1 version. For Switch only owners, it's a no brainer to pick this up. Game-play is superb.
Im getting doom, mario, re, and axiom V. Then i think later on sonic forces, skyrim and xenoblade, too many games almost no time to play them all, we can wait on some of them
Vortex Of Abstinence You seem to be taking his comment too personal. Chill lol. He can purchase DOOM for whichever platform he chooses. I personally will stay with my PS4 version I purchased last year but am really glad it’s on Switch for those who want it.
You're wrong bro. The fact that this game is so optimized from the start and that it can be dumbed down to run on inferior hardware like the Switch shows what a technical marvel it is. Quit being a fan boy.
I would so play Doom with RGT 85 ! Guys graphics aren't everything . Nintendo has some of the best gamss ever made without having perfect realistic graphics
Mike M Doesn’t hurt to have a variety of styles. PS has cartoony games and realistic ones. Xbox has cartoony games and realistic. Nintendo has always mainly stuck to cartoony. That’s why people have problems.
Matthew Gonzales yes but Nintendo is the Disney of video games, that’s why their “cartoony” graphics are great and always will be. I don’t see anyone complaining that Disney should change their animated CGI movies lol. I think Metroid will be interesting though, because it will have “realistic” graphics, I’m excited for it either way.
Jeez, so many Switch haters out there. Listen, I've been a doom player since the 90's, I even had the Sega 32X version of the original. I also bought this version for the PS4 on day one and loved it. I wanted to have it on the go so bought it for my switch a few days back. I was BLOWN away by how good it looked. 90% of the haters out there haven't even played both. The game runs great at 30fps and you can take it ON THE GO!! If that doesn't boggle your mind, I don't know what will. Great job panic button and awesome video as always RGT! VIVA LA SWITCH!
Hi, thank for the awesome review for Doom on the switch. I just wanna ask. Does Doom for the switch have any other game modes besides campaign? Maybe like a survival mode?
I'm picking it up now for half off right before this sale ends because I've been a fan of your channel for a year or so now and know I can trust your opinion. Thanks for the review and great content.
Sorry I can't justify paying 60 bucks for a 720p 30 fps version with scaled down graphics when you can get it on ps4 and pc for 14 bucks or less. They also had to scale back hoe any enimies that can be on screen which makes the combat less hectic and compelling.
Includes all the dlc, marketing campaign expenses, paying for the labor to port the game, and cartridge games are more expensive to manufacture. Those, more likely than not, are the things likely contributing to the game's overall price. Then of course we have personal circumstances. I don't have a PS4 (yet), Xbone, or PC so I never got to this play this game.

I have a long bus ride to work everyday, having games like this so readily available makes it more than worth it for people like me. Kudos to you finding it for about $14, though a new copy ses to still sit on $30 on average.
Traduction: I have a switch. And almost 50 games. No, it isn't worth paying full price for this game or Skyrim when the base price on all plattforms is 30 bucks. I did bought the game myself for 5€ extra(35€) but because I had a discount and I can justify those 5 extra for the portability but won't happen very often with other ports(Rayman,Skyrim,etc). They are just pumping up the prices because they know people will buy because there's hype for the console. It's just a big scam that Nintendo is allowing them to do. (Also one thing. Being portable doesn't justify costing more, ALWAYS portable games have been cheaper. So don't use those excuses for big prices, 30 extra isn't the cost of portability)
Bojan Babic, of course the portability isn't worth $30. But the higher manufacturing costs, paying for the labor to port the game, expenses for their marketing campaign, and the inclusion of all the DLC certainly raises the price.
The graphics look less blurry and low res in this review compared to some other video's I've seen. Looks like a quality port and looking forward to playing it.
I just purchased the game although I own it on my pc alongside a GTX 1080 - I am so excited to play this game on my switch as they did a phenomenal job of porting the game to the switch. Thanks for that great review and keep up the good work!
"if youre playing switch version next to ps4 version at the same time, yes there is going to be noticeable difference. that is common sense" "doom on switch doesnt make sense" what doesnt make sense about putting your product on a wildly successful and popular system? good review man.peace
Thank you for all your great Nintendo Switch Content. Your videos usually are my exact thoughts. Thanks again and keep em coming! Can't wait to Doom it up tomorrow all over the place!!
It looks GORGEOUS to me! For a switch port and that's enough for me. The question is, Should I wait for Skyrim reviews and gameplay to wait to buy to this? Or Buy this and cry that I'm broke and can't afford skyrim?
UPDATE: The online servers are now up and I just played a couple matches. They are BUTTER smooth and very enjoyable, which gives the game fantastic replay value if you enjoy online multiplayer! Thank you all for watching this vid, the views have been great so far!
Wait until tomorrow. That will surely change.
You can't call 30fps butter smooth when even ID themselves have stated in interviews that 60fps is essential to the way the game feels
And you cannot tell. It looks amazing.
LinKueiLucas dont cry
Played the crap out of the PS4 version as well and can't wait for this and glad the MP is smooth. Thanks for the great review.
Did anyone else noticed since DOOM got announced all developers who use to say switch is too weak to run their game no longer say that and make other lame excuse.
Square put FFXV on the switch and run decently on some parts,but wasn't good enough obviously, without optimization, if someone tries to tell that Switch has no power... square will smash their face.
**cough cough Overwatch cough cough**
Anything can run at 720p 30fps
so why doesnt Xbox 360 and ps3 have doom?
Because they are weaker than the Switch.
Well at least they did not change the blood to green like on the Game Boy Advance version.
KWKBOX I forgot about the GBA version.
you know... I've always imagined demons with green blood anyway.
Or they could do what Angel Studios did when they ported Resident Evil 2 to the N64. You could change the color of blood to red, green, or blue.
KWKBOX i think there was an option to change thatm
I wish we had the option, glowing neon green blood would be pretty rad.
A really good sign that Nintendo can succeed with 3rd Party blockbusters. Bodes well for Skyrim on Switch coming soon... I hope this paves the way for Fallout on Switch. THAT would be incredible.
Dimitrelos300 I’d be happy with a Switch exclusive Fallout game. Doesn’t necessarily have to be Fallout 4. A port of Fallout 3 or New Vegas would be nice, if they could pull it off.
I would love Fallout 4 on Switch... BUUUUTTTTT Im REALLY Praying for Borderlands 3 or at least the Handsome Collection
They should’ve ported Fallout 4 instead of Skyrim.
I agree... but that doesn't mean they won't.... sometime back a retailer released a listing for Fallout 4 on Nintendo Switch that has since been taken down-- I think its coming but Fallout 4 might be a bit more difficult and thats why its taking longer-- but if these two do good im sure they will.
I'd pay $50-$60 for an elder scrolls or fallout package that included multiple old titles in one cartridge. That'd be dope
Why would I expect PS4 graphics on a Nintendo Switch? If graphics are so important to you play on PC. Everybody knows PC versions of games look better than PS4 graphics but I don't constantly hear people asking do PS4 graphics look as good as the PC graphics for games? We all already know the answer. Can we now move onto important stuff like is the game fun?
Well said..
Devon Grant some people like graphics but overall perfare consoles like me plus the one x version of the game could look as good as pc
Devon Grant oh and the last of us 2 has better graphics than most pc games at the moment
Denis N sure it does. Keep telling yourself that.
Yassi it does tho
I have never played a Doom before in any version or any system. I'm about to lose my mind with excitement, put the kids to bed and burn demons down!
Ryan Kuchta like not even the original. Or doom 3
Jamie Lishbrook nope, I really don't know how I missed it. Never had nice PCs to run games like doom, I was always a system behind, or I had a Nintendo system. Just never played a Doom.
Welcome aboard then
You're officially DOOMed!!!
You'll love it!
Tho I have no plans to get this on switch, I own it on PC, I love the fact this game is on the switch. I hope it does really well.
It won't. Nintendo fans don't buy mature games.
Wow that's weird, AllPro777 ... I'm a Nintendo fan and for some reason this game is going to show up on my doorstep. We better notify the post office because a mistake has obviously been made! /s

Man, this looks like a great port! Remember when EA tried to sell us a fraction of a game?! HAHAHA good times...good times...
Potentially Perfect LMFAO HERE, TAKE THIS W MY FRIEND.
Potentially Perfect the Switch version is missing features tho
David Francois but not missing half of the game just a little feature
The shadowClasher What feature is it missing?
David Francois no
Yeah it's mind blowing how they succesfully converted doom 2016 to the switch without dramatical downgrades.

Funny how the "arcade games" of yore were kind of like the "PC version" of today. But you're right about the Gameboy, it was fun at the time to have it portable.
This has very dramatic downgrades 60FPS to 30fps is a massive downgrade
johneygd
True lol i felt the same way back then. Alpha 3 on the gba came to mind
Can't bring the PS4 version on the go, now THAT is a downgrade.
johneygd how were the downgrades not dramatic? They cut the framerate in half. Go look at the textures they look atrocious. It can even maintain 30 there's literal slowdowns in this video itself... But he said he didn't notice any 😂
This came with the console I bought this port is amazing its genuinely so surprising to play such a high quality level of graphic game in tablet mode
No matter how great it is, I can't bring myself to paying full retail price for a 8 month old game. Maybe will pick this up down the road when it's on sale. If I could wait this long I can wait longer haha... Great review, Shawn!
NA NA actually just went on sale for 29.99
My reaction when DOOM 16 was announced on switch: "I don't need it, i don't need it, i don't need it.......I NEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIIIT!
I must get this for my Switch.
the lighting in the game looks a little dark. is it?
Oscar Torres Nah he is just playing on low brightness settings :)
ThaCringeMachine oh good cause i was hoping it wouldnt look that dark.
Oscar Torres ya, the settings have a gamma setting and some people like it low for “scary” games
makes sense
I mean it's a little darker than normal because it's a horror game
Your recording is a bit too dark. Other than that, very impressive!
Neocaron I️ think his ingame gamma is low
Doom is more fun played dark. On N64 i lower the gamma all the way
Yeah, the actual game doesn't look this dark. If I recall correctly this recording issue can be fixed changing some settings on the Switch.
MarkXV Yeah it's more atmospheric when dark I love it.
Picking this up tomorrow. Can not wait. I never played the PS4 version so this game will be totally new to me 😆. Keep on making great videos brother 👍
Haven't played it yet either, Ill be picking it up tomorrow.
DansModernLife Same here dude! Super hyped to pick up DOOM tomorrow!! 🙌
Alan Gonzalez I just need to find all these moons in Mario Oddessyy so I can put this damm game down lol
I beat it on PS4 twice, and spent tons of time in mp. You're gonna have a blast dude!!
You're in for a treat! I'm double dipping cause I already played it on the 4.
"Oh no, 30 fps, time to kill myself" - Every fanboy ever
To be fair, if you're used to 60+ FPS, going to 30 FPS feels abysmal. Not only does the game look worse in motion, but it PLAYS worse because the frame rate affects the smoothness of aiming.

This video sold me, never tried any of the doom games and will be picking this up today
Just looked it up since almost everyones going on about price and how you can get it for "10 bucks" just looked it up 25 pre owned 30 new is it cheaper on the ps4 and other systems? Yes, But stop trying to make it sound like their charging you an arm and a leg for it, you get this for the switch and you get doom on the go and all the dlc included not a bad deal
I won't be getting the Switch version, because I already have the PC version and I generally don't like to double dip on game purchases. But I am certainly happy to know Panic Button did a great job porting this to Switch. Hope everyone who buys this has a great time with it.
Any mention of gyro controlled aiming options? Because after Splatoon, I don't think I can go back to dual analog...
doesnt have, has some motion with the joycons for melee but that's it
Devs really need to put that as an option for shooting games now. And the ps4 can also do it so that's even more games that should get it.
Gyro controls are gay
what an insult.
you get more accuracy when you have gyro with the joycons
Excellent and honest review!! Question though...does this version have the DLC? What about the map creator?
Despite the map creator not added due to the limited size of the data, DOOM has all the DLCs built inside the card.
TonyKanameKuran Thanks for the info
to be fair, Doom PS4 and Xbone do NOT run at stable 60, the frame rate drops almost constantly in those 2 versions.
CannibalGames I️ can confirm this as I️ have played on Xbox one
I'd honestly rather have a stable 30 like the switch version than a choppy and inconsistent 60. I've always said, when it comes to FPS, it's not about the number itself, it's about the consistency.
Digitalbumpin ..... How much to build your gaming pc (seriously, I'm curious how much to build a good one.)
CannibalGames im already at the part where doomguy gets his double jump and only had 1 drop so far and only 1 lag.
Digitalbumpin really. So how much did you pay to make your pc powerful enough to actually handle that?
Thankfully they made it a brighter so you can see stuff better
Played in undocked mode last night and I love it. Can’t believe how it looks on the switch. At last the Switch is not just a kids console. Well worth your money 😀😀
David Garner how did you get it early?!
A Particularly Pointy Soldier the online store posted the physical copy early and received by post yesterday
Thats the only reason why I purchased one! They finally stopped focusing on kiddie games and to port over titles like Doom Im good
hows the framrate and aiming? heard they were quite bad. especially using joycons
David Garner it never was just a kids console. Obviously you never heard of the binding of isaac
Bro, I needed this video!
Thank you! Awesome Job!
I'm picking it up day one!
Luis F so tomorrow!
I just subscribe you. Love how you introduce a game very briefly from its history of other console and your true experience from the game and very useful review as a gamer. Nice content. love
I bought a Switch to play Doom... I don't have a ps4 so I haven't played it yet.
Just started following. Excellent reviews dude. And love that hat!
I'm happy it's on the switch but I'm done with paying for the same games three times
Morning Glory same game 3 times at full price lol
Oscar Torres yes 1+1+1=3
Morning Glory you missed my point. Im saying they could have at least made the switch port cheaper, not $60.
Oscar Torres oh, sorry bro. My bad. Yeah I'd love to buy this but it's hard at full cost. Doom is a little more understandable but skyrim is just ridiculous
Includes all the dlc, marketing campaign expenses, paying for the labor to port the game, and cartridge games are more expensive to manufacture. Those, more likely than not, are the things likely contributing to the game's overall price.
Then of course we have personal circumstances. I don't have a PS4 (yet), Xbone, or PC so I never got to this play this game. For me it will be a first time purchase, and (like it is for this guy's case) it will have more value to me as I will be able to easily carry it around with me and play it whenever I have the time. I have a long bus ride to work everyday, having games like this so readily available makes it more than worth it for people like me.
The Switch footage looked dark compared to how it looked on my PS4. Is the RGB setting and Brightness setting setup properly before you captured footage? Hmm... Fantastic video btw.
I'm definitely getting this game. Splatoon 2 is making me crave a real shooter. Lol
I beat it on PS4 last year then beat eternal shortly afterwards. Just got a switch but still thinking about getting it cause I'd like to experience in hand held format
Up early or up late ? Who cares RGT 85 just put on video! And on my bday! That’s awesome 😎
Ernesto Anaya happy birthday
Pretty interested in this, only thing that has me worried is number of people playing online. Anyone know how big the player base is?
Man I can't wait to get my hands on this tomorrow. I think out of Doom, LA Noire , Skyrim, and Resident Evil. I'll probably spend all of my time playing Doom. Lol Great review by the way!!
David370Z and I'm getting the Batman telltale series on the 14th too....yes a victim of wallet rape
daddy fatsacks79 me too!! Rip
You sold me.
I'm picking it up for sure
I dug your review & incite.
Keep the switch reviews coming 👍
I want to buy it but i need my money for xenoblade
Oscar Torres have you played doom already? If so, don't it's a good game but if you haven't, after the story, some arcade runs and multiplayer you'll probably get 40 hours out of it, it's missing snap map which is one of the games best features.
Ahhh the switch struggle so many good games you cant buy them all
This
Just make a Holiday wish list......
Hopefully family members can buy s on a for u.......👍👍👍😁😁😁
Oscar Torres I wasn't a huge fan of xenoblade. Never played any of the games and when I saw that they were making a new one, I wasn't impressed. But since releasing a bunch of trailers for it, I kinda wanna get it.
Can you run this straight from the cartridge without any updates or downloads?
It's doom on switch of course it's worth it
Fantastic channel dude
This looks like an amazing port far exceeding anyone's expectations for a portable console. I'm impressed, this would have been a day 1 buy for me if I didn't already own and play the crap out of the XB1 version. For Switch only owners, it's a no brainer to pick this up. Game-play is superb.
This video actually helped me make the deciscion to pick it up. It's currently updating then I get to play! Thanks RGT 😎
So many good games don't know what to get?
I’ll be honest Mario is worth every penny
get all of them. ..that what am doing
For me it's mario odyssey, doom, rocket league, skyrim and xenoblade this month. SWITCH STOP STEALING MY WALLET!!!
Mario Odyssey, DOOM, Sonic Forces, Skyrim, Resident Evil Revelations, 👍👍👍😁😁😁
Im getting doom, mario, re, and axiom V. Then i think later on sonic forces, skyrim and xenoblade, too many games almost no time to play them all, we can wait on some of them
Hell yeah, cant wait to pick this up tomorrow. Also congrats on hitting 60K.
I got it on PC the other day instead and I really like it!
Loyal Ethics on psn good choice I game like this deserves to be played on the superior platform
Vortex Of Abstinence You seem to be taking his comment too personal. Chill lol. He can purchase DOOM for whichever platform he chooses. I personally will stay with my PS4 version I purchased last year but am really glad it’s on Switch for those who want it.
You're wrong bro. The fact that this game is so optimized from the start and that it can be dumbed down to run on inferior hardware like the Switch shows what a technical marvel it is. Quit being a fan boy.
Cruisey DFR *Quit
Thanks, I know how it spelled. I'll edit it for all the internet spelling police.
RGT 85, thanks to you I'm picking this game up and subscribing to your channel. Keep up the good work!
I would so play Doom with RGT 85 !
Guys graphics aren't everything . Nintendo has some of the best gamss ever made without having perfect realistic graphics
Mike M Doesn’t hurt to have a variety of styles. PS has cartoony games and realistic ones. Xbox has cartoony games and realistic. Nintendo has always mainly stuck to cartoony. That’s why people have problems.
Matthew Gonzales yes but Nintendo is the Disney of video games, that’s why their “cartoony” graphics are great and always will be. I don’t see anyone complaining that Disney should change their animated CGI movies lol. I think Metroid will be interesting though, because it will have “realistic” graphics, I’m excited for it either way.
Gewdvibes Uh, Disney has been going through their animated movie catalogue and filming live action versions. Disney does change.
Jeez, so many Switch haters out there. Listen, I've been a doom player since the 90's, I even had the Sega 32X version of the original. I also bought this version for the PS4 on day one and loved it. I wanted to have it on the go so bought it for my switch a few days back. I was BLOWN away by how good it looked. 90% of the haters out there haven't even played both. The game runs great at 30fps and you can take it ON THE GO!! If that doesn't boggle your mind, I don't know what will. Great job panic button and awesome video as always RGT! VIVA LA SWITCH!
"It's fast it's fluid it's phenomenal!" It isn't all alliteration as ph isnt f but same sound so i'll still like i guess :)
No, it's still alliteration. "alliteration: the occurrence of the same letter or SOUND at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words."
Alex Peraza oh :p
Hi, thank for the awesome review for Doom on the switch. I just wanna ask. Does Doom for the switch have any other game modes besides campaign? Maybe like a survival mode?
I know theirs a arcade mode i believe not sure for the switch version tho
Gba had 1 and 2 :)
I want to know how it plays in handheld mode with joy cons compared to the pro controller.
God of war for the switch should be a thing.
Damn bro grats on 60k subs
Rip people without micro sd card
Darruler physical needs a huge download?
9gb i believe
It needs a download for the multiplayer.
If you buy a physical copy the download is only for the multiplayer. Should be around 9GB which will fit on the onboard storage. No SD card needed.
Physical has the single player.
Love your videos bro
damn more money that i have to pull out for it lol
Great review bro
I'll be playing Doom (2016) for the 1st time on my Xbox One X...hyped!
I already own this with the season pass on PS4, but I am tempted as heck to have this on the go. My Switch library is growing fast.
+Retro Hi-Def I'm playing some now at my day job. Lol
No Shave November has consumed your neck
I'm picking it up now for half off right before this sale ends because I've been a fan of your channel for a year or so now and know I can trust your opinion. Thanks for the review and great content.
Man your neck's hairy.
Are you ever going to do that 32x video you promised us back when you got Pitfall and completed your set?
Why does he have those lumps of hair above his ears? Reminds me of a poodle
lol and I'm sure youre a real lady killer with your looks
Awesome video, dude. Just what I needed to hear. I’m getting it!
Sorry I can't justify paying 60 bucks for a 720p 30 fps version with scaled down graphics when you can get it on ps4 and pc for 14 bucks or less.
They also had to scale back hoe any enimies that can be on screen which makes the combat less hectic and compelling.
Traduction: you don't have a switch.
LinKueiLucas we’ll you forget the fact that it’s portible
Includes all the dlc, marketing campaign expenses, paying for the labor to port the game, and cartridge games are more expensive to manufacture. Those, more likely than not, are the things likely contributing to the game's overall price.
Then of course we have personal circumstances. I don't have a PS4 (yet), Xbone, or PC so I never got to this play this game. For me it will be a first time purchase, and (like it is for this guy's case) it will have more value to me as I will be able to easily carry it around with me and play it whenever I have the time. I have a long bus ride to work everyday, having games like this so readily available makes it more than worth it for people like me.
Kudos to you finding it for about $14, though a new copy ses to still sit on $30 on average.
Traduction: I have a switch. And almost 50 games. No, it isn't worth paying full price for this game or Skyrim when the base price on all plattforms is 30 bucks. I did bought the game myself for 5€ extra(35€) but because I had a discount and I can justify those 5 extra for the portability but won't happen very often with other ports(Rayman,Skyrim,etc). They are just pumping up the prices because they know people will buy because there's hype for the console. It's just a big scam that Nintendo is allowing them to do. (Also one thing. Being portable doesn't justify costing more, ALWAYS portable games have been cheaper. So don't use those excuses for big prices, 30 extra isn't the cost of portability)
Bojan Babic, of course the portability isn't worth $30. But the higher manufacturing costs, paying for the labor to port the game, expenses for their marketing campaign, and the inclusion of all the DLC certainly raises the price.
What kind of mic do you use man. I'm looking into getting one of those to use for videos. Yours sounds great.
Thx for the info Shawn (RGT 85). I am getting this game on the Switch. Looking forward to this.
keep up the good work mate... thumbs up from Australia
The graphics look less blurry and low res in this review compared to some other video's I've seen. Looks like a quality port and looking forward to playing it.
Thanks I was tiny bit unsure. Not played doom before. Just got a switch.
Gonna go for it right now. Great video. Cheers
I just purchased the game although I own it on my pc alongside a GTX 1080 - I am so excited to play this game on my switch as they did a phenomenal job of porting the game to the switch. Thanks for that great review and keep up the good work!
So I just had the privilege of playing you in an online infernal run match. I was demegod925, the guy dunking on your team!
"if youre playing switch version next to ps4 version at the same time, yes there is going to be noticeable difference. that is common sense"
"doom on switch doesnt make sense"
what doesnt make sense about putting your product on a wildly successful and popular system?
good review man.peace
But isn't dock mode 1080p while handheld is 720p?
Do you recommend playing it with the pro controller?
RGT starting to look like a 70's baseball player. Got that fro on the sides✊🏾
Thank you for all your great Nintendo Switch Content. Your videos usually are my exact thoughts. Thanks again and keep em coming! Can't wait to Doom it up tomorrow all over the place!!
It looks GORGEOUS to me! For a switch port and that's enough for me. The question is, Should I wait for Skyrim reviews and gameplay to wait to buy to this? Or Buy this and cry that I'm broke and can't afford skyrim?
I think I might finally pick this up today before the Black Friday/ cyber Monday sales end. Thanks RGT!!!
As usual, great video, honest, fun, dynamic. Thanks !
Now I am 100% picking it up. I never played it on PS4 and since it comes with DLC I will definitely be picking it up.
Thanks RGT85!
It looks really dark, is it really that dark in person?
Even though I have Doom for my Xbox 1, I plan to get it for my Switch. Is HD Rumble present? Thanks, good review.
whats the battery life on handheld mode?
Malhar Sawai its about 3 hours about same as botw.
i was watching a couple of your reviews and two ads came up and the videos were no longer then 15 minutes
Hi RGT85, does this game have a Good local multiplayer?? Thanks for the help 😄
My favorite reviewer on the tube currently... (Even if you are just a carbon Kosharsky copy)
So it comes out tomorrow? Doesn't it come out on the 12th?
Why does the footage you captured on Switch look so dark....
I'm so happy this is a good port. Pre-ordered it the day after it was announced, but it feels great to have that confirmation. Thanks for the vid man
