LtAkilla Posted March 28, 2020 what is your opinions on the newer doom ports for modern consoles honestly for me i love them but there are a few issues i have with them like the music loops aren't exactly right and the fact that the aspect ratio is 4:3 but other than that i think they're pretty solid. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Devils950003 Posted March 29, 2020 Love the Switch version of classic Doom. Just downloaded it last week, and it's my go-to from now on. I play it in hand-held only, with the original soundtrack turned off, and Aubrey Hodges’ Extended PSX Doom soundtrack playing through a laptop next to me. The hand-held screen is extremely forgiving and perfect for Doom...old as the original may be, it still looks good to me. Controls take a little getting used to but they’re fine. I don’t mind the 4:3 ratio one bit...there’s the option to go 16:10, but I stick with 4:3. But with the better-than-ever frame rate (bumped from 35 to 60 FPS) and earlier bugs having been corrected, I can’t recommend the Switch version enough. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
ZeroTheEro Posted April 1, 2020 at first it sucks as much as the BFG Edition. now it went past the suck phase to must-have phase. over the year after release it got fixes, tweaks, additions and it even just got a new patch and PWAD recently. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Chip Posted April 12, 2020 It is a great way to play the game, but now, I think they should add more add-ons since you can basically get all the DOOM stuff online. Maybe if they made a PS1 version of DOOM 1993 as an add-on it would be cool. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Nich Posted April 20, 2020 I have the Switch version. It's a great port! I'd play it more if it had horizontal motion aiming, but unfortunately I can't stand aiming with an analog stick. Also fast monsters doesn't work correctly in nightmare. I'd like to see them add network play, but that's probably just wishful thinking. Great port nonetheless. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
stinkfist Posted April 21, 2020 I never thought I’d see the day where I would be able to play pwads on console. Sure it’s picked out for me but it’s still a quality pick. I really hope they continue to add more pwads. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post
Angelloproduct Posted April 21, 2020 It would be nice for some online multiplayer. And also transfer custom doom wads from pc to any device with as card or usb as long as it’s vanilla compatible. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post

Roebloz Posted April 21, 2020 (edited) They might be better than the GBA ports, but playing Doom 2 GBA is what gives me that nostalgia feeling (Since my first experience with Doom was Doom 2 on the GBA) but I guess they are okay. Lacks -fastmonsters on Nightmare! though, so it's just UV -respawn with double ammo. Edited April 21, 2020 by Roebloz 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Deimos Posted April 21, 2020 I was very disappointed at first since the audio was glitchy once more (ps3 audio never got fixed). But since it's been patched i fell like it's one of the best console ports ever released, to me it's in the top three. The add-on system is the cherry on top. Also, does someone know if the original art for menu background is available somewhere? Id really like to use it as wallpaper. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

sponge Posted April 22, 2020 I'm not aware of any higher resolution version of that art besides the one that's in the Unity resources files (and I think that one is basically ~400px tall) 3 Quote Share this post Link to post

Devalaous Posted April 23, 2020 I'd take a look if I could, as I own DCC on PS3, but my console is currently bricked, as its wifi/Bluetooth adapter broke. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
Devils950003 Posted May 13, 2020 My Switch Doom is now updated to the 1.0.6 version...and I'm finding some bugs that weren't there before. Occasional frame hitches (some more severe than others...runs smooth as silk the rest of the time). And some sounds are cutting off before they're complete...seems kinda random as to when this happens, but it's noticeable when it does. Anyone else seeing this? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

butterh2 Posted June 30, 2020 i prefer gzdoom on pc but doom on the switch is great. i have yet to look into the add ons though 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
nname Posted June 30, 2020 I'm not sure, but I heard that the games are recreated in Unity. And since Unity is a truly 3D engine, you could technically do some interesting stuff with these console ports. If you could mod them, of course.. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

It makes horizontal aiming much more precise. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

Nothing you heard is even remotely correct, please stop listening to whomever you heard this from, they don't have a clue what they are talking about. It's the original engine through and through, just running inside Unity as an Operating System. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

That's what I thought at first too, but I later turned out to be mistaken. Unity is mostly being used as a cross-platform middleware, to make the game easy to port to a bunch of platforms without having to (re)write a bunch of platform specific code. It's also used to create the menus, since Doom's original UI code was barely passable on the DOS machines of the day and is not fit for purpose for the kinds of interfaces that needed to be made on modern systems. But it's still the original Doom code being run when you get to the actual game - all of the telltale software-rendering light falloff, spite positions, and wipes all still there. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post
Chip Posted June 30, 2020 for me, since I finished the game, am all about the add-ons. occasionally, I play DOOM again. Final DOOM and NEIS I don't like. I like Double Impact, NRFTL, and BTSX (even though it has an insane difficulty). And I love Si6il and Deathless! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

This rise a question on my head: is there somekind of balance made to the new add-ons to be played on console? I didn't atempted it aside from playing PSX Doom long ago, but i remember it being hard, specialy, for the difficult handling with the joystick. So i think it will be the same on the new consoles, but someone can illuminate me into this and i might be wrong. Have you tried those wads on PC, @LiT_gam3r? Maybe with the keyboard mouse setting they are easier for you. I played all on HNTR and they are challenging in some parts, but not frustrating at all.

The controls are far better in these games but it is still a little awkward when selecting weapons compared to a keyboard. Edited July 1, 2020 by Boaby Kenobi 1 Quote Share this post Link to post

Oh, i see, well so the new add-ons don't need a rebalancing to adjustate for the handling of a joystick, i think. But well, i can't tell for sure as i didn't have the oportunity to try em. Shame my last console was a PSX :/ Also, surely console gamers are more accostumed to play FPS with joystick. I seen some YT recordings of FPS console gaming and WOW! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post

TNT is sort of, "Did I get it, did I get it! I think I got it!" to me, Plutonia is "Goddamn, there is literally no fun in here" and NEIS is just a "meh" IMO. Difficulty is not the worst for all of these (since I think BTSX is harder) it is just that they don't have that "ready for action" feel for me that the original DOOM has. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post
