When Doom came to GBA, it was 8 years old.

Crysis is 13 years old now, the 7th gen port is about 7 years old.

All considered, it basically what I expected. Switch can play 7th gen games well when properly optimized.

This doesn't really change anything he said as the 7th gen ports were terribly butchered, Crysis was developed for at the time top end PC specs at the start of the HD era while Doom was the best of the end of the 2D era as it came out the year before the Saturn and PS1 released essentially the jump to 3D which was already in progress at the time so the former being longer in being ported doesn't take much away from it.

No, the 7th gen ports are the foundation of the Switch version. Its even misssing the same mission. If they were butchered that wouldn't be the case.

I was actually more impressed with Doom on GBA because I simply didn't think it could do it so well.

Switch on the otherhand has already has already demonstrated it can handle 7th gen content (like Crysis). Doom on Switch demonstrated the Switch is very capable.

Hence, Doom been impressed us on both GBA and Switch.

Great port, decent price, not too bad a file size (7GB). I went ahead and ordered.

A bit miffed it's apparently still a 'pre-order'. Release date is 23/7, yet it's currently 1P.M. on the 23rd here. Not sure which timezone we're being held back by, but at least it's downloading and should be available to help kill time before the Xbox showcase.

Well pugs play your fps that only few people give a shit about on your own damn preferred console or pc

Saber delivers the goods once again, as expected.

Definitely a showpiece for the hardware given that the game can still tax even modern PCs. The new SVOGI-powered lighting and upgraded water look especially great, and it's a big step up from the PS3/360 versions.

As far as what version it's based on, the developers in their livestream yesterday confirmed it started from the same base as PS4/Xbox One versions, but branched off later in development.

Yeah I'm having the same issue, it's the 23rd here as well but it won't let me play. We'll probably have to wait til tomorrow; one of the annoyances of living in Eastern Hemisphere. (From your timezone I guess you're in New Zealand?)

The developer themselves confirmed it's the same as the PS4/X1 version they all came from the same foundation and branched off the 7th gen being the foundation part is simply false hence why the NS version has more foliage, better lighting, more refined physics and water. An example of how much of a step up the NS version is in comparison is this screenshot.

As for Doom as mentioned it still doesn't change what he said because Doom was one of the best of the 2D era but came as a bigger jump was being made to 3D it was impressive for the GBA but it wasn't a game that still gave other hardware significant work to do to run Crysis on the other hand was the flagship for a big jump into the HD era and still gives modern hardware issues to run and now runs on a 15 watt Hybrid device.

It looks impressive, the only thing that is kinda unfortunate is that the game has an inconsistent frame rate. But it would be the same as DOOM, so it wouldn't be too much on an issue. The gunplay looks fun, and all that environmental interactivity is fantastic. Might pick it up someday.



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.

So basically Switch version is for the most part upgraded over last gen versions, but have some cuts compared to original high end PC version. Sucks about missing level though.

Well I guess we will wait and see. The PC version came first, then scaled back version came to consoles years later. The Switch version is clearly a tweaked version of what 7th gen consoles had, its even missing the same mission. It simply wouldn't make sense to bring that to PC and 8th gen consoles.

Crysis works well on Switch because they're using the version made for 7th gen consoles for the most part. It was already designed for limited specs. Again, I suspected that was the case when they announced it was coming first.
