Forums - Gaming - Doom Switch Comparision with other Platforms

I sat and aslnd watched the reviews for this game today and the game actually looks fine on a 60" TV. If it looks good watching a video of docked gameplay then surely it will look better than what I saw anyway.

No Nintendo gamer ever cared about framerate, they are the less relevant than anything else like an unussed mode on a game.

That's not entirely true - a lot of Nintendo games (Smash, Mario and Mario Kart in particular come to mind) are big on smooth frame rates.

30 is fine, though, so long as it's stable. An uneven frame rate is generally worse than a low-ish one.

I was being sarcastic... in this forum we constantly hear from PC and Nintendo fans that 60fps is the single most important atribute of a game.

They're about the same - that is, when I'm comparing Switch version and then PC version, just without my prescription glasses.

Seriously (though I was dead serious), it looks really blurry - I think they should've sacrificed more of the other things instead of going so down with resolution.

Agree 100% lowering the resolution so much and using so much blur/soft visuals has created a game that has detail but it's hard to see because it's like someone has put tracing paper over it. I think when most people get their hands on it tommorow they will agree it would of been better to have the detail cut even more just so we could get a cleaner, crisper image. 

It is no where near the visuals of the xbox one or ps4 versions like some people are determining from the video above, the visuals in the multiplayer are more akin to a playstation vita game, or an early xbox 360 game with a blur filter on.



Im now locked out of multiplayer as I went over Lvl 10 and can no longer play the beginners lobbies, I played about 6 or 7 matches and overall the gameplay was really fun, I liked the powerup, I actually liked the fact you had health and armour pickups which I wasnt expecting but it does add strategy. The framerate is fine, I never really care about 30 or 60fps and the lobby system, progression system, medals etc and customization of guns and armour all is really detailed and fun. The only gripe as I have mentioned in my previous posts is the visuals are poor, which I am 100% fine with aslong as it's not unplayable but because it's so blurry and the text is too small on the Switch screen it is unplayable, it's too blurry, too soft.

As it looks like I wont be able to play any more multiplayer until tommorow when there is more level 10+ players I will jump back into the campaign and report on that in a bit.

Update: The single player does look better than multiplayer, its very much playable but doesn't look as good as the video at the start of this topic suggests. I still think people will be dissapointed in the visuals of the single player but it is playable, and it does have alot of detail, you can just tell it's hidden behind the resolution. It's still blurry but it's not borderline unplayable like the multiplayer visuals. It's nowhere near the level of xbox one or PS4. On a more positive note, the sound quality on the Switch is excellent through the handheld speakers and really adds to the cinematic experience and goes nice and loud. Overall the gameplay though from what I have played of Single Player and Multiplayer (around 3 hours) is excellent, I just think techincally/visually its clear that this was a game ported down from PS4, rather then made for the Switch originally and it hurts the end experience as poor visuals are fine if the gameplay is good, but off-putting blurry visuals lets the game down and distract the user.

Would've been better without the extreme blur filter, I prefer jaggies than that. But overall looks pretty fine for a portable version.



I've been reading a few reviews and comments by players who got the game early and it sounds the port is decent, but the visual downgrade and those frame rate hiccups might be a bit too much. At certain moments the game can allegadly look like this: 

It's something I think I can digest, but those occasions where the game seems to be running at slow motion is what is putting me on the fence. I'm an enemy of games that run at sub-30FPS, but at the same time I'm starving for a good shooter on Switch, and Doom certainly looks good enough (I haven't played it on any other platform and I don't think I'll do it anytime soon). 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Did you try to change texture quality in the options menu ?

The blurriness you see in this picture is how the majority of the multiplayer experience is, it's not a case of now and again, the multiplayer visuals are very blurry as seen by the character model above.

Not my image.

That's disappointing to hear, but as I said, I think I can overcome it,  the real issue is the frame rate.
