Doom 2016 Confirmed For Nintendo Switch, Releases Later This Year

@g4m1ngon: Man! I do sure love DOOM on the GO with my PS... wait... PC? Yeah My Lapto... wait... What about a superior System!? The Switch?! Hell yeah!

@g4m1ngon: I have Doom on PS4 and I'm very satisfied with it. Graphics alone mean nothing. Doom is just plain fun. On a 7 to 9 in screen Ultra graphics are not a concern for me. I also game on PC, But I will never be gaming on my PC while taking a flight half way across the country. i also have a gaming laptop, and a XB1s . I enjoy gaming period. Whenever and wherever I can play I will. If that bothers you, that is your problem not mine.

@g4m1ngon: Doom while taking a dump cause why the hell not?

@spartanx169x: and your gaming session will last for 12minutes only, battery will die after, probably explode of overheat.

@heqteur: No, test on a Tegra X1 put it under half an xb0ne... This is more of a testimate to the game engine that the Switch's power.

@heqteur: More like 40-50% less powerful..

@heqteur: I love my Switch, but that is simply not true. I think people just hurt their cases when they focus on non-truths about their preferred hardware to make them sound good, instead of the many things that DO make the platform stand out. The Switch has many pros, including a great launch year library, many many interface options, sophisticated rumble, and of course portability.

The only reason you see, for example, a lot of games running at 60FPS on the Switch is because of developer priorities. Every single game could be 60FPS on the X1 and PS4 - if the devs were willing to prioritize that over resolution or eyecandy. Consequently, such numbers alone are not an objective way of comparing the raw hardware capabilities of the different platforms.

@heqteur: The Switch is 1TF @FP16 which is good enough precision for gaming. the Xbox 1 (non S) is 1.3TF @FP32. So apples to apples the Switch is 0.5 TF compared to X1 1.3 TF. Your math is a bit of at 10-15%. The reason why Zelda on Switch and Wiiu has very similar performance is because the Switch is slightly more powerful and has 4GB of memory, so slightly higher resolution textures.

Of course teraflops isn't the be all end all. But it gives you an indication on the approximate performance.

For the DOOM port they will strip it down to fit inside 4 GB of memory; probably 3.5-3 GB of memory because of the OS. It will run at 720p and undocked maybe 30 FPS.

It will be a fun port, I am going to grab it and I love my switch.

@heqteur: "Switch is BARELY 10% to 15% less powerful than both PS4 and XONE."

Nope

@heqteur: doesn't expain why Dragon Quest Heroes runs like trash with downgraded graphics and only 30 FPS cap. Barely looks better than the PS3 version.
