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. 

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%.

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

That's *LITERALLY* what I was getting at with my comment. My point isn't that the Switch should run it at 60fps, my point is that acting like the distinction isn't important is ridiculous.

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

I guess you would be pretty wrong.

The majority plays FIFA, Call of Duty and Minecraft. All of them are 60 FPS games. They would be very annoyed if those games were only 30 FPS in the future.

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.

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. 

Well each to their own mate. Not really sure what games are 60 and which are 30. I have battlefield one battlefield 4, destiny, halo 5 etc they all felt fine to me but have know idea if they are 30 or 60.

Ok thats quite intersting, are most games 60 or 30 then i have no idea. I also play alot of fifa and yeah if it suddenly became slower i would be annoyed. Ive recently just sunk 100 hours into BoTW that felt fine too but again no idea what fps it is.

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

Actually the vast majority of X1/PS4 games are 60 FPS (why do you ignore indie games?).

Other than that yes, that IS for many PC gamers a reason not to get a console. You're proving the initial point.

Thats fair enough I am glad this is getting a port, just dont think dismissing framerate difference was neccessary. 4/5 of those run at 60.

It's more than 4 times (for Doom at least). Doom on switch undocked runs at 540p @30fps  which is 8 times less demanding than 1080p @ 60fps (PS4).

Looks like a winner to me. Great looking portable version. Good looking console version. Only download MP if you need it.

I have coworkers that see my Switch and ask "Does it have any action games?" (their term for "mature" games after finding out the 3DS wasn't much suited to their tastes.). With this and Wolfenstein, I can finally say "YES!"

Games like this, NBA 2K, and (hopefully) Madden will go a long way towards helping Nintendo recapture that PS/XB crowd. Unfortunately, even if it was a perfect port, I don't want it.

Depends on the game. If it's competitive, then 60FPS is almost a given. (Sports games, fighting games, many racers and many shooters). For single player games, FPS is not as important. However, Doom is pretty much build around the idea of 60FPS. It's an extremely fast paced shooter and therefore benefits from 60 FPS a lot more than other games. For example Wolfenstein 2 is going to be 60FPS as well on X1/PS4 but that one won't nearly benefit as much, since there are a lot of stealth sections in the game. It's still a nice bonus though.

Double dipping on this, it looks great. Doom on the go, what's not to like. Kudos Bethesda.
