Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Bethesda: Doom on Switch Runs at 30FPS, Multiplayer Download is 9 GB, more.

oh come on.....  hardly anything that looks like doom is 60 FPS, even on the PS4.  This is going to be the shining example of what can be accomplished on Switch.

Nonesense! Most people who play games dont give two fucks about fps as long as its playable.

Yeah of course Nintendo fans don't give a fuck. They're used to playing games at 640p at 30fps 

Why are you talking about nintendo fans on a doom thread? Im just talking about people who play games like you know 80% of the market share who arent geeky enough to really care about fps



Glad to see the confirmation and that the DF guy was right with his impression. I guess id would've done a better job at porting their own game, but even they wouldn't get it to run at 60FPS without decreasing picture quality even more.

You really expected this to be 60fps?

Not really, but I hoped Bethesda would at least try to work around the framerate issue. The moment people see the Switch version has half the FPS they're gonna throw it in the dumpster.

It is still the only version of doom you can play on the train.

So much for third party support.

They did everything they could.

They didnt just scale stuff down, they used a new engine & custom suited everything so it runs as well as possible on the switch.

The only *dick* move is the 16gb stick & forced 9gb dl patch to be able to play multiplayer mode (to save on cartridge costs).

 

This is what good 3rd party support looks like.

If this doesnt sell its because the switch users let them down.

I agree with this.

Don't feed the troll! Everybody knows that many, if not most, of the games on PS4/XB1 are 30 fps too. ;)

So you're saying if Doom launched on Xbox One at 30fps and at 60fps on PS4 people wouldn't be mad? Obviously there's a reason it's 30fps on Switch and that's fine but pretending like that's not an important distinction to a lot of people is just lol.

Most of the people i work with, socialise with, who game, Wouldnt even know there was a differance between the two versions that what im trying to say.

But yeah pretty sure soon woth Xb1X there is gonna be a big differance in the two consoles. Dont mean shit though, to the average consumer playstation is where its at.

The differnce between the XB1s (~1.4 Tflop) and the PS4s (~1.84 Tflop) is like 32%.

The PS4 is perphaps 4 times as powerfull as the switch..... 4 times.... thats 400%, theres too big a gap.

There has to be sacrifices to run 3rd party games when they are as demanding as doom is.

But perpetuating the whole "60fps is not important, only geeks believe that!" thing is so dumb and just because you or your friends don't get it doesn't mean the difference in quality isn't becoming more recognized. And to be clear the difference is *massive*, you can tell just by looking at the video how slow it is.
