Amazing to be getting Bethesda games prior to launch and a real honour for us! Doom Eternal on a handheld has to be Panic Button’s biggest magical illusion to date, but how does it run and what features does the Switch have? Let’s find out! Thanks for watching - let me know if you’re interested in this one or if the physical fiasco has put you off. Mark
Don't be so humbled by them giving you a game...You guys are talented reviewers, and Microsoft is a greedy trillion dollar corporation that was too cheap to do physical prints of this game. You have no reason to suck up to them so much. They should be thanking you for giving their game more attention then it deserves. And yes, as if my last statement didn't make it obvious, the physical fiasco has totally put me off. I'm very much against digital only games, especially when you're asking the price they are for this. Smaller studios, and publishers can manage to pull off gorgeous and lavish physical prints of their games, and yet the big mega corporation can't seem to find it in their budget to print off physical copies? Bull. And no, a physical copy with half the game on the cart wouldn't count.
I'm just gonna wait until they have all the DLCs out in case they do a physical release with everything included. I can't justify buying a $60 game without any of the DLCs digitally that went on sale on other platforms for $20. By then they'll probably add a couple of patches to improve the game as well.
I'll tell you what I'm going to do: just based on your verdict seeing as I don't have a lot of time, I'm going to actually go and buy this game.. And if it's anything less than what you say it is you have lost me as a subscriber. Let's see...
Not gonna lie, the physical fiasco has completely demotivated me from buying this game. It’s gonna have to be on a sale for an instant!buy; but I’m patiently waiting for any hint of a physical release.
Panic Button are seriously masters of their craft! How they got this game packed into the limited performance of the Switch is absolutely astounding...just massive.
I really wish Limited Run or anyone release a physical version of D: Eternal. It's one of the best games of 2020. I dare say it's the best FPS on the Switch, surpassing the average Crysis: Remastered.
Doom Eternal, Doom, Wolfenstein 2, Wolfenstein: Young Blood, Crysis Remastered, Warface, Bulletstorm, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Metro Redux, Boarderlands Collection, Bioshock Collection..... The Switch actually has a pretty decent selection of first-person shooters now, and they all offer something different from each other.
@@jorgem.9690 yeah it does pal, the fact I can play this anywhere with a good framerate and decent graphics is a win, I've beaten this 4 times on ultra violence including the master levels on handheld mode. Face it the switch runs things decently, and your need to tell people "naahhh it doesn't " makes me laugh
@@jorgem.9690 ohhh watch out Jorge, people love this port better police their opinions because it hurts your ego otherwise, just think the entire library of doom games are on a Nintendo console omg! Bet you're having an aneurysm over the other graphically demanding games on the switch lololol better take away people's enjoyment Jorgey boy (most of that was sarcasm in case you missed it lmao)
Not gonna lie, when you first showed gameplay, I thought, "oh no, that looks blurry as hell..." Then you showed it in handheld mode. And I breathed a giant sigh of relief. Game looks fantastic in handheld mode. Definitely picking this up.
My family has this on a PS4 disc which I could steal and play a bit on my PS4 Slim. It's just me being cheeky wanting it for my Switch. I loved getting horror games for my 3DS because of the paradox. I got Carrion for my turquoise Switch Lite and played it some. It's fun and hilarious on a "cute and innocent" device.
Totally agreed; while most of the other Switch youtubers have ever further fallen into clickbait, endless sponsor videos and "like, comment subscribe" ad nauseum. This channel is just pure quality, straight to the point content that genuinely helps me with my game buying decisions massively
This makes sense to be honest - very hard to get a game this smooth/beautiful to run on a system less powerful than some phones. Panic Button do great work to get it to run so well - having it portable is the seller here.
Been teeter-tottering on the decision to buy this for a while, considering I already have it on PS4. But IMO it's game of the year, so you guys have definitely encouraged me to take the plunge and get it on switch!
I double dipped. First bought the PC version, then got Switch version. Both serve a purpose. PC one for a nice looking home version and Switch for Doom on the go. Honestly, the game looks great for a Switch title. I was half-expecting a butchered port and this pleasantly surprised me.
I'm here early but happy. This might have just sold the game for me. I've played the PC version but I love having the classic doom games on my switch. This will be an insane additional to my library.
@@VVitchaven with such a terrible arguement, I was expecting you to say doom 2 was nothing more than a "cash grab" as well. If you think 2016 and eternal are just "cash grabs", you've never played them, or you're just a bad troll.
I bought this game on eShop only minutes after it became available, and so far I don’t regret it! Because it’s 18GB it’s gonna take at least 7 hours to download, but I was just about to go to bed anyway, so it’ll be ready when I wake up!
I have to admit this is the first time I've ever seen this game, and the music just blew my mind completely, the game's presentation is just one of the best things I've ever seen... This is definitely one of those games that are going to be remembered forever - by me, anyway.
It's amazing what Panic Button have done. Doom 2016 ran beautifully on my PC with 120fps and above, and when I fired up Doom Eternal, I was kind of expecting the same performance. But heck no, this game is far more advanced in terms of level complexity, enemy detail, body part- and gamplay systems and I had a hard time even reaching above 90fps. THIS is an amazing port. The only fault in my eyes is that game wasn't tailored more towards the switch (with lower poly models/stages) since they have been working side by side throughout development. It would've been great if they offered the option to use lower poly models and levels (this requires very little data since it is only vector data) as well as being able to disable the gib system and hence get better visual clarity. Anyway. It's impressive. My hope is to be able to play it att full 720p handheld with a Switch revision in the future. :)
*WOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooOo0* babbbyyy thats what I've been waiting for that's what its all about but no seriously....

@@austincaldwell8358 why would you get it for ps4 after you have it for pc? Genuine question. I can understand getting it for switch though. Handheld mode
@@jorgem.9690 Look, it’s a wild Jorge Miranda! These fascinating creatures have literally no brain and force people to get different ports of video games!
I know this is old now, but just picked up the deluxe edition on switch and have the standard version on xbox one x....all I can say is I'm blown away! This genuinely is so good on the oled in handheld! I'm actually enjoying it even more than on xbox! Graphically it's a masterpiece when you take into account how underpowered the switch is compared to xbox one x!
The great list of adjustable aiming. I love it. Such a good addition that every switch shooter should have i.m.o. Honestly the game looks better then expected. On the wishlist and a definite future buy! Cheers as always lads!
The day this will be released physical I will buy it immediately. But I won't pay money for a digital game. At least not more than 15 bucks. But for a physical version I would even pay 80 bucks if they use a 32GB cartridge and fit all of the game onto it.
I bought almost all of the DOOM franchise for switch on digital. What's wrong with digital? You don't lose it as easily. The only physical advantage is you can return it if you don't like it.
@@yeahhbuddy3932 ehhh what resale value tho a 60$ game you be lucky to get half of that money back lol... Only first party games keep resale value. I've had multiple nintendo switch accounts as I have had every switch that came out, v1 v2 and a lite.. when I sold my first switch I didn't think I would buy another one so I sold my nintendo account with all digital games for 300$ lol you can deff make money back if you really wanted to even if it's digital only.
Great review. Thank you. A quick FYI: It's not "eye dee". It's "id", as in the primal part of your mind, as opposed to the ego (conscious rational mind) and super-ego (conscience). The terms were introduced by Sigmund Freud oh so many years ago.
@@DogCheese420 You're right brother, I see this guy @Jorge Miranda in every Doom eternal switch video ranting sht and complaining bout all this 😂 man's got nothing better to do tbh can't blame him...
This appeases me greatly. I've been so anxious about how well this game will perform on Switch and you just laid to rest my concerns like the Doomslayer lays waste to the army of Hell. Thank you for this! 👌
"Ah Studio Wildcard, sir, we've explored what you've asked us and it seems there's a little hiccup. Actually.. um..." "There's a hiccup?" "To power good graphics in the Ark port, sir the technology doesn't actually exist, so it's it's it's..." "Wait, wait, wait... the technology? Abstraction team, here is the technology. I've asked you to simply make it for a smaller screen." "Okay sir, that's what we're trying to do, but honestly... it's impossible." "PANIC BUTTON WAS ABLE TO PORT DOOM 2016 IN A CAVE, WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!" ".... imma sorry... we're not Panic Button..."
This is half the reason I bought the Switch. The other half was for Alien: Isolation, which is better suited to the Switch because of the save stations. Absolutely brilliant.
Surprised this turned out as well as it seems. Really disappointed there's no physical release. I already have way more digital content than can fit on my switch ± sd card. Thanks for continuing to be one of the best reviewers on youtube
I’ve been following this page for a long time now but this is my first comment. So much kudos to you guys for getting this review out and giving us a great perspective on the game. I was on the fence with it being digital only but you’ve made up my mind for me.....it’s downloading as we speak. ‘the stuff of childhood dreams’ such a great comment. Keep up the good work, this is by far and away the best place to come for Switch content.
Definitely double dipping on this game, already own the deluxe on Xbox and for it to be on a portable system is like falling in love with it all over again.
I am sooo disappointed that this didn't get a physical release. I understand why, and I'm not mad at the devs, but I intentionally waited to get this on the Switch, but I absolutely refuse to pay full price for a digital game.
I love this review! Thanks for putting it out there. That said no physical copy 😬 gonna have to pass on it for now. Maybe when it goes on sale or something. Or skip it all together and wait for a next gen port
This truly feels like the icing on the cake for the switch and game releases in 2020. We’ve seen how far we can push this device, Now to find out if it can do even more next year. Amazing review again from your team, waiting on it downloading to check this one out myself.
This is honestly a big relief. With zero news on Doom for Switch for months I was worried this'll be another Outer Worlds. But while the quality looks bad. It looks playable which is downright impressive. If anyone from Panic Button reads this comment. Not enough prase can satisfy the work y'all put into this. Job well done.
I don't know how many of us just have 18 gigs free for this download at this point. I constantly have to archive and redownload games, and it's not that easy to transfer to a bigger sd card.
It looks really downgraded on tablet, but docked it's really not that bad if you have a middling graphics card on PC. Compared to high end, yeah, you're sacrificing a lot. But in all fairness even PS4 Pro and Xbone X version pale in comparison to Doom Eternal with a 3080, or even a titan. Pro/Xbone X are the equivalent of a 960. I have a 960 myself, and though the difference is noticeable, it's not as shocking as going from a high end to Switch. The only thing that was really jarring for me was the FPS. Going from 60 to 30 kind of hurt my eyes initially, but you get used to the compromise very quickly.
@@levick2412 i wait for a hypothetical physical firstly, after maybe it can dropped to 49 bucks on a store site. i have it on PC so im not in a hurry. the first doom 2016 is pretty rare yes. And hard to find used ( i have it).
kinda wish it started at a lower price since it took so long to get on switch, + all the graphics and framerate downgrades. it really needs a sale. also the fact they (most likely microsofts decision) jipped everyone out of a physical copy.
Can I play doom eternal a bit on your switch? Hmm its OK if you don't want. A stranger wants to borrow your game for free? Ugh such a shame hahahahaha.
I played this game back in March on a PS4 Pro hooked up to a LG C9 OLED, so I've seen how incredible this game looks in high resolution at 60fps with amazing HDR... and honestly it's hard to look at the Switch version, even on my 5" phone screen, and be impressed. I get that the Switch is just a handheld, but at this point we've had multiple of these "impossible ports" and I am no longer wowed by these blurry low res games running on the Switch. Plus the game is 9 months late and double the price of the other versions, so unless you only have a Switch, you'd be a fool to pay $60 for this version of the game IMO... But anyway, great review as usual Mark! Keep yo the good work guys!
This game takes me back to the good old days of when PC gaming was kicking off. Apart from Quake, I remember playing a game where one of the difficulty settings was 'I want my mummy' Forgot the name of that game though.
FPS aren’t really my cup of tea but really positive to see a non Nintendo triple AAA title looking good and running well on the Switch, bodes well for the future
The fact that I can play Doom Eternal, that looks and performs like that, all while I'm schlepping to and from work on the train...it boggles my mind. But it shouldn't, it wasn't all that long ago I was saying the same about Witcher.
So wait a second are you telling me that if a developer takes time and puts in effort then great latest games do have a chance of coming to switch. Hmmm.... Well I guess fifa must be more demanding than doom eternal for ea to not make any changes into it since fifa 19. Well atleast ea tried.
I remember buying fifa 20 on switch for like 5 dollars when I was gonna get 18 for 15dollars. And when I started 20 up its literally the console version of fifa 17-18 but with a dash of paint to cover up the flaking years old paint job. So disappointed in ea I haven't even bought a fifa since fifa 18 came out
@@peelonchas so true. And because i have no other console to play fifa on i always have to buy it. Although i now buy pre owned ea games. I don't want to encourage them.
I am so ready for the dance where do you have to carefully decide where are use your resources, in what order to take out these enemies, and who you want to keep alive for a while as they keep shooting you so you can save them for health. LOVE the snap decisions you have to make, the fast paced gameplay and of course - THE SOUNDTRACK.
@@churchtriv4150 I am not complaining it got ported nearly 1 year later, I am complaining it got ported 1 year later for 60$, thats a joke, taking into account they cut the cost drastically by not releasing a phycial copy in a cartridgev + game is quite old at this point. 30 $ dollars would be acceptable for me maybe, but 60$ would be a good price while being released at the same time with other platforms.

not really,all they did was they lowered the resolution big time and locked it at at 30fps thats it lol

Why????just curious as I've just bought a xbox series x and own a PlayStation ,switch ?
@@random_gamer_guy82 got a hacked switch, so you know, why not.
@@austincaldwell8358 how easy is it to hack am I able to do with the latest switch update
@@austincaldwell8358 hacked? Jailbroken?
@@austincaldwell8358 why would you get it for ps4 after you have it for pc? Genuine question. I can understand getting it for switch though. Handheld mode
Release it fully on a cartridge and I will buy it! Great review!
Thanks mate
Its impossible lol

@@jorgem.9690 bro can you get a life and leave everyone alone, like oml
@@jorgem.9690 I do not want Witcher 3.
Ok I’m sold! I’m picking this title up with the two Ancient Gods expansions for $29.99 out the door. Winning.
I know this is old now, but just picked up the deluxe edition on switch and have the standard version on xbox one x....all I can say is I'm blown away! This genuinely is so good on the oled in handheld! I'm actually enjoying it even more than on xbox! Graphically it's a masterpiece when you take into account how underpowered the switch is compared to xbox one x!
The great list of adjustable aiming. I love it. Such a good addition that every switch shooter should have i.m.o. Honestly the game looks better then expected. On the wishlist and a definite future buy! Cheers as always lads!
Thanks mate, yeah it’s very cool! Mark
I can't wait to pick this up tomorrow. :)
You cam do it now!
Isn't it digital only?
@@infamouz111 yeah they're gon a be so disappointed lol
What kind of black magic does Panic Button possess
This game is a MIRACLE on Switch!
The day this will be released physical I will buy it immediately. But I won't pay money for a digital game. At least not more than 15 bucks. But for a physical version I would even pay 80 bucks if they use a 32GB cartridge and fit all of the game onto it.
Why's that though? Mind sharing why you prefer physical over digital?
I bought almost all of the DOOM franchise for switch on digital. What's wrong with digital? You don't lose it as easily. The only physical advantage is you can return it if you don't like it.
@@mgspatheticchannel1496 The only reason I pay for my games is to put them in my shelf. I won't pay money for something I can't even hold in my hands.
Game looks great overall but for 60 I’d want something physical, so I think this is a sale for me personally.
You're going to be waiting a long time for a sale lol
@FoxRNG digital games do not have the same value as physical games so for less value you want to pay less.
doom 2016 and wolfenstein 2 are both 60 on the eshop.... sale wont be happened anytime soon
@FoxRNG they have resale value. People buy games then sell within a week or 2 all the time.
@@yeahhbuddy3932 ehhh what resale value tho a 60$ game you be lucky to get half of that money back lol... Only first party games keep resale value. I've had multiple nintendo switch accounts as I have had every switch that came out, v1 v2 and a lite.. when I sold my first switch I didn't think I would buy another one so I sold my nintendo account with all digital games for 300$ lol you can deff make money back if you really wanted to even if it's digital only.
Great review. Thank you. A quick FYI: It's not "eye dee". It's "id", as in the primal part of your mind, as opposed to the ego (conscious rational mind) and super-ego (conscience). The terms were introduced by Sigmund Freud oh so many years ago.
We need more 3rd party games like this even Spider-Man game or pc games like scrap mechanic or any other great games that would be great for switch
I wish there was a physical. I wanted to buy this as a gift for my brother
You still can, you just gotta use a different method
Send him a Nintendo eshop card!
@@jorgem.9690 you must be lacking love in your life.
@@jorgem.9690 You must have no life if you’re this bothered by it.
@@DogCheese420 You're right brother, I see this guy @Jorge Miranda in every Doom eternal switch video ranting sht and complaining bout all this 😂 man's got nothing better to do tbh can't blame him...
i stayed awake untill 4 am for reviews
watched at 240p for those authentic switch version visuals
Panic Button pulled a miracle port this to the Switch at a stable 30 fps. If you have a Nintendo Switch and love first person shooters, get this asap
Imagine if Panic Button & Bluepoint made a game together 🤯
Looks great! Now, let's show them how much we love it so they rethink their decision about canceling the physical release.
I just purchased the Deluxe edition on sale for $22 😤
This appeases me greatly. I've been so anxious about how well this game will perform on Switch and you just laid to rest my concerns like the Doomslayer lays waste to the army of Hell. Thank you for this! 👌
"Ah Studio Wildcard, sir, we've explored what you've asked us and it seems there's a little hiccup. Actually.. um..."
"There's a hiccup?"
"To power good graphics in the Ark port, sir the technology doesn't actually exist, so it's it's it's..."
"Wait, wait, wait... the technology? Abstraction team, here is the technology. I've asked you to simply make it for a smaller screen."
"Okay sir, that's what we're trying to do, but honestly... it's impossible."
"PANIC BUTTON WAS ABLE TO PORT DOOM 2016 IN A CAVE, WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!"
".... imma sorry... we're not Panic Button..."
To be fair, WC basically locked Abstraction out of further work on Ark and released what was essentially their evaluation version yea?
Tony stark liked that
@@REPVILE Aw, well that ruins a nice meme deployment. :D
This is half the reason I bought the Switch. The other half was for Alien: Isolation, which is better suited to the Switch because of the save stations. Absolutely brilliant.
Nice one Mark, looks great :) Was in for this one myself, but its cool - can't win 'em all, so was happy to watch yours!
Surprised this turned out as well as it seems. Really disappointed there's no physical release. I already have way more digital content than can fit on my switch ± sd card.
Thanks for continuing to be one of the best reviewers on youtube
12 am, got work in da morning but... Gotta see this..
I'll wait for a physical release.
Let's only hope! Such a bad call to make it digital only
Thought that was canceled?
Might want to go with limited run i don't think their doing a physical release.
I’ve been following this page for a long time now but this is my first comment.
So much kudos to you guys for getting this review out and giving us a great perspective on the game. I was on the fence with it being digital only but you’ve made up my mind for me.....it’s downloading as we speak.
‘the stuff of childhood dreams’ such a great comment.
Keep up the good work, this is by far and away the best place to come for Switch content.
Thanks for reviewing. Will wait for either physical or sale
I'll pick it up when the price is what I was paying for my physical pre-order.
Already have it for the PC, but if it hits a nice sale or gets a physical version down the road if be pretty interested
I have it on pc but im still gonna grab it so I can play it on the go
Today March 30th 2024, saw this game on sale on the e-shop, didn’t even hesitate to download it.
I just purchased this, is DLing now! Thanks for your review (and all you do!) I simply love this channel!
Dont forgot to vote doom eternal at GAOTY.
I really wanted a physical release :( digital games cost more for me
If you change your zip code or whatever to a certain area tax is zero apparently
@@X-EN7171 Free?
@@X-EN7171 yeah, and it's illegal (tax offence) apparently.
Definitely getting this on Switch, had such a blast with the previous Doom on Switch. Amazing how well this turned out! I’m excited
Definitely double dipping on this game, already own the deluxe on Xbox and for it to be on a portable system is like falling in love with it all over again.
I am sooo disappointed that this didn't get a physical release. I understand why, and I'm not mad at the devs, but I intentionally waited to get this on the Switch, but I absolutely refuse to pay full price for a digital game.
You can wait for a sale in the future if you’re patient

@@sixelanavi03 Yep. That's the plan.
The best reviewer before buying a particular game!
Cheers mate! Mark
Just checked out your review as it’s on sale for $29.99 in the US. Thanks for the great video, def picking it up!!
Looks beautiful, man...I'll wait to see if it goes physical and/or on sale next Black Friday though.
we can only hope Limited run games steps in and we do get a physical otherwise maybe not.
Yo, Buy and Avoid should be renamed Let’s Find Out.
I love this review! Thanks for putting it out there. That said no physical copy 😬 gonna have to pass on it for now. Maybe when it goes on sale or something. Or skip it all together and wait for a next gen port
I still play Doom 2016 and am in no desire to spend $60 for Doom eternal. Doom 2016 is still better imo.
This truly feels like the icing on the cake for the switch and game releases in 2020. We’ve seen how far we can push this device, Now to find out if it can do even more next year.
Amazing review again from your team, waiting on it downloading to check this one out myself.
This is honestly a big relief. With zero news on Doom for Switch for months I was worried this'll be another Outer Worlds. But while the quality looks bad. It looks playable which is downright impressive.
If anyone from Panic Button reads this comment. Not enough prase can satisfy the work y'all put into this.
Job well done.
Holly sh*t I’m so excited for this
Looks like an excellent port, shame it isn't physical. Will skip this unless there's a deep sale
hey dude it's 30 bucks rn, you probably already know but just incase you forgot. The sale ends april 14th
I don't know how many of us just have 18 gigs free for this download at this point. I constantly have to archive and redownload games, and it's not that easy to transfer to a bigger sd card.
Panic Button: What's "Impossible"? That some kind of breakfast cereal?
Too expensive for a download only release of a game that's been out for a while now on other systems.
Yeah selling it at full price is almost a deal breaker if you already bought it for much less on other consoles.
Honestly I'm not willing to pick it up because Doom 2016 is still better by far imo. Nothing can ever top that.
How the actual F*** did they manage to make this game work?!
Simple look at the graphics lol.. downgraded to the bone haha
@@KingRD-jw7ge It literally doesn't look that bad.
@Steven Browning Yeah true, but for a shitty little tablet like the Switch this looks great.
It looks really downgraded on tablet, but docked it's really not that bad if you have a middling graphics card on PC. Compared to high end, yeah, you're sacrificing a lot. But in all fairness even PS4 Pro and Xbone X version pale in comparison to Doom Eternal with a 3080, or even a titan. Pro/Xbone X are the equivalent of a 960. I have a 960 myself, and though the difference is noticeable, it's not as shocking as going from a high end to Switch.
The only thing that was really jarring for me was the FPS. Going from 60 to 30 kind of hurt my eyes initially, but you get used to the compromise very quickly.
You and me Mate @ SwitchCorner had Great things to say about this game, looks like a Bloody good time. Thanks again Mark for the Awesome review!
I just pick this up on my Switch Lite for £24.99 and it plays so well, worth every penny
" no pysical release ( yet) " , i'll wait. and the price will decrease obligatory. its really too expensive.
Doom 2016 is at the same price, so I don't expect this to drop in price anytime soon
@@levick2412 i wait for a hypothetical physical firstly, after maybe it can dropped to 49 bucks on a store site.
i have it on PC so im not in a hurry.
the first doom 2016 is pretty rare yes. And hard to find used ( i have it).
Oh hell yea! I'll try to find a way to get this game, one way or another lmao
Time to sell my kidney for 60$
Why $60
$
Sell it to $100,000
Kidneys are expensive and you can get a pc,house,car and more
Rip and tear until it is done 🧑🔬
kinda wish it started at a lower price since it took so long to get on switch, + all the graphics and framerate downgrades. it really needs a sale. also the fact they (most likely microsofts decision) jipped everyone out of a physical copy.
Can I play doom eternal a bit on your switch? Hmm its OK if you don't want. A stranger wants to borrow your game for free? Ugh such a shame hahahahaha.
@@frusciantemayuga458 its not free if it requires a personal account with sensitive info.
I'm currently playing this on PC thx to GamePass and i'm loving it. I might have to pick it up on switch too just to play it in handheld.
Thank you guys, you guys are the best, getting it right now 👌🏻
my pc struggling to run this meanwhile nintendo switch hold my hardware
It looks like ass on switch
Drop it to 480p and Ultralow on your PC and it will probably play just as good as the Switch version..
Cheap handheld hardware. What did you expect?
@@bunkernuts6293 well bro i was just kidding my laptop runs this game on very high settings 1080p and gives 70-80 fps
@@Leonrookiekennedy my reply was for someone else, but I deleted their name when fixing a grammatical error. You're all good.
I literally don’t have to room to download this. If it ever goes physical, I’ll pick it up
exactly why I wanted it physical
I played this game back in March on a PS4 Pro hooked up to a LG C9 OLED, so I've seen how incredible this game looks in high resolution at 60fps with amazing HDR... and honestly it's hard to look at the Switch version, even on my 5" phone screen, and be impressed. I get that the Switch is just a handheld, but at this point we've had multiple of these "impossible ports" and I am no longer wowed by these blurry low res games running on the Switch. Plus the game is 9 months late and double the price of the other versions, so unless you only have a Switch, you'd be a fool to pay $60 for this version of the game IMO... But anyway, great review as usual Mark! Keep yo the good work guys!
This game takes me back to the good old days of when PC gaming was kicking off. Apart from Quake, I remember playing a game where one of the difficulty settings was 'I want my mummy' Forgot the name of that game though.
I'am waiting to my internet to download doom eternal, yes i will wait 2 hours
I have 10 hours lol
what firmware does it require? 10.2 or newer 11
@@bigoniahead5136 Since it's eshop only you'd be forced to update anyways, unless of course you're pirating it.
good point, guess I'll just have to update finally to buy it. Thanks for commenting.
@@bigoniahead5136 Np man. I'm broke after black friday so I'll wait for it to go in sale I guess.😂
I am certanly waiting for a physical for this money! Even if I need to wait a year or so.
FPS aren’t really my cup of tea but really positive to see a non Nintendo triple AAA title looking good and running well on the Switch, bodes well for the future
The fact that I can play Doom Eternal, that looks and performs like that, all while I'm schlepping to and from work on the train...it boggles my mind. But it shouldn't, it wasn't all that long ago I was saying the same about Witcher.
I refuse to buy this until they give us a physical release.
Well done, stand up for something, good for you... L
@@seanbrook3593 lol
So wait a second are you telling me that if a developer takes time and puts in effort then great latest games do have a chance of coming to switch. Hmmm.... Well I guess fifa must be more demanding than doom eternal for ea to not make any changes into it since fifa 19. Well atleast ea tried.
I remember buying fifa 20 on switch for like 5 dollars when I was gonna get 18 for 15dollars. And when I started 20 up its literally the console version of fifa 17-18 but with a dash of paint to cover up the flaking years old paint job. So disappointed in ea I haven't even bought a fifa since fifa 18 came out
@@peelonchas so true. And because i have no other console to play fifa on i always have to buy it. Although i now buy pre owned ea games. I don't want to encourage them.
I am so ready for the dance where do you have to carefully decide where are use your resources, in what order to take out these enemies, and who you want to keep alive for a while as they keep shooting you so you can save them for health. LOVE the snap decisions you have to make, the fast paced gameplay and of course - THE SOUNDTRACK.
Nice review. Sad is full price and only digital. Recently the deluxe edition was $30 on PS4. Waiting for a future sale for the handheld mode.
Yeah I'm not paying $60 for this version.
Yeah total rip off, after 1 year on other platforms.
@@BRTSH5 It was released in March this year,
@@BRTSH5 no one complained when pc games were ported to consoles a year later back In the day
@@churchtriv4150 I am not complaining it got ported nearly 1 year later, I am complaining it got ported 1 year later for 60$, thats a joke, taking into account they cut the cost drastically by not releasing a phycial copy in a cartridgev + game is quite old at this point. 30 $ dollars would be acceptable for me maybe, but 60$ would be a good price while being released at the same time with other platforms.
@@BRTSH5 9 months isn’t long at all for a game, plus the switch port has extras
Oh damn too many good games recently released and too little time to play. And my pile of shame is getting bigger and bigger... :-)
Sold! I have been waiting for something like this. Can't wait for the release
It’s out right now.
I was so hoping for a physical copy to display next to the 2016 switch version!!
