Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Doom will finally get a new patch on Switch this month

Doesn't say anything about performance or graphics. Let's see if we get a res bump in docked mode.

Glad to hear this, the volume bug is sooooo annoying. But it really shouldn't have taken this long. I hope for continued Bethesda support.

To be fair, the team that ported it to Switch, Panic Button, also ported and patched Rocket League recently and is working on the port of Wolfenstein II as well so they have certainly been busy which makes it a bit more acceptable.

 

I hope Skyrim & DOOM did well enough for Bethesda to continue Switch support, I would like to see Fallout 4 & The Evil Within games come over.

Gyro-aiming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!!!!

If they do implement this, I hope it's stable like in Zelda and not erratic like in Resident Evil Revelations!

Patches done on Rocket League are handled by psyonix. One of the devs on ResetERA said Panic Button has done there job and Psyonix will handle patches now.

Thanks for the info, i didnt know that.

I'm glad they came to their senses...

Would have been smart to get this out right before they put it on sale the other day. At least they got the message that they were making a bad impression on the segment of the Switch community most likely to buy Wolf II.

I think it definitely has the chance to do fairly well at reduced prices. If I'm not mistaken, Doom beat out the Nintendo titles on sale to be the 5th best selling retail title (not going to counting anything that's primarily a DL title) that week behind MK8, Zelda, SMO, and M&R. Fifa and 2K didn't make it unfortunately. It was still at 15, but it's something.

Great. I have the game already but not started it yet. Then i can begin on the updated version.



In the wilderness we go alone with our new knowledge and strength.

I only have a 5 levels left so I guess i'll wait for the patch before finishing. I hope theirs some sort of surprise.



Sounds to me like just bug fixes. IDK why some are excited about a performance boost



"Hardware design isn’t about making the most powerful thing you can.
Today most hardware design is left to other companies, but when you make hardware without taking into account the needs of the eventual software developers, you end up with bloated hardware full of pointless excess. From the outset one must consider design from both a hardware and software perspective."

Patch is available now to download in the EU region at least, seems like a fairly large download.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I third this. Dual analog sucks.

This omission was actually my biggest disappointment with it. This should be a standard option at this point.

 

If it's not too much trouble, please consider providing your input in a thread I started on Bethesda's website: https://bethesda.net/community/topic/102021/doom-switch-needs-gyro-aiming?page=1

Gyro-aiming needs to become a standard in console FPS.

Well, I don't think that'll be standard as-long as the PS4 and XB1 don't have motion-controls.
