I still think Doom on Switch looks more like an 8th gen game than a 7th gen game; textures and image quality are decidedly last gen, but the rendering techniques used (PBR, subsurface scattering, GPU accelerated particles, bokeh depth of field, etc) are more in line with what you'd typically see on PS4/Xbone. As such I'd say it looks current gen, just low end current gen. Similarly, the Xbox One X version still looks current gen, just at the higher end of the polish/settings scale.

I get what you're saying, I mean Desinty on 7th gen is actually one of the best looking last gen games because it was using effects that were pretty rare for the platform.

Frankly, Destiny on 7th gen was arguably more technically impressive than Doom on Switch and it did it on inferior specs. But more effort probably went into that than the Doom port for Switch.

I see Doom on Switch kind of as an example of how the game might have looked on last gen.

If Doom was on last gen it almost certainly wouldn't have retained the core rendering tech of the PS4/Xbone versions as the Switch does, it would've stripped out current gen techniques such as PBR, much like the PS3/360 versions of Advanced Warfare.
