At Smash's Gate - The Doom Marine/Doomguy/Doom Slayer Thread

Well, this just happened

Looks like the only Doom game missing on Switch now is Doom 64.

Well then they screwed up. I hope they didn't actually leave out No Rest for the Living from Doom II.

Also, if they didn't include 64, I think this deconfirms anything that says Doomguy would come with his Doom 64 suit.

There are our surprises... unless they have one more surprise later down the line.

 

[valkiriforce]

Aaaah I'm so excited! I've been waiting for the classic Doom games to come to the Switch. They even included the Master Levels which is even better.

Looks like the only Doom game missing on Switch now is Doom 64.

Don't forget Final Doom!

 

[RileyXY1]

This is in fact the first time that Doom 3 (along with Resurrection of Evil and the Lost Missions) and the Master Levels for Doom 2 have ever appeared on a Nintendo console. This leaves Final Doom as the only major Doom game to never appear on a Nintendo console.

 

[MattX20]

Just because Doom 64 hasn't shown up yet doesn't mean it won't eventually happen. It took a while for FF8 Remastered to happen after all for the Switch

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I wonder if they'll get the guys who did the Turok ports to help out with Doom 64

 

[shinhed-echi]

At this rate I feel it could be easier to remake the game in one of the already existing engines than try to port the original thing.

I don't get what the deal is for Final Doom though. It's like it's not even considered part of the main games or something. (... maybe cause it's named FINAL, when it's clearly not? )

Also kinda sad Doom 1 didn't include that brand new 5th episode.

Final Doom wasn't included in the BFG Edition, either, but being fan made is not an excuse for Final Doom to not be here because the Master Levels are.

Nice! Well here's to hoping we see some Smash x DOOM at the VGAs this year.

 

[MattX20]

Welp, they made a screw up over the Doom ports. https://nintendoeverything.com/doom...players-to-sign-in-to-a-bethesda-net-account/

 

[EarlTamm]

Welp, they made a screw up over the Doom ports. https://nintendoeverything.com/doom...players-to-sign-in-to-a-bethesda-net-account/

Yeah, definitely a annoying move from Bethesda. If the ports function well, that's good, but this was not needed.

 

[GolisoPower]

Welp, they made a screw up over the Doom ports. https://nintendoeverything.com/doom...players-to-sign-in-to-a-bethesda-net-account/

I feel like there's something about the mandatory Bethesda.net account that we don't know about. Maybe there's new achievements. Maybe it has some connectivity with Doom Eternal. Whatever it is, there's probably a reason for it.

 

[MissingGlitch]

I'm just going to assume this means Doom Slayer for Smash until proven otherwise.

 

[cmbsfm]

Well these ports were probably the surprise Pete was talking about.

 

[GolisoPower]

Well these ports were probably the surprise Pete was talking about.

There might be more still. I mean, we still have two more days of QuakeCon to go by.

 

[Holphino]

Considering these ports are also going to PS4, and Xbox One. I don't think this was the "surprise for Nintendo fans" that Pete was talking about. The way he sounded made it seem way more special than just ports that are going to all platforms. I will say it's probably something to do with Doom 64. Maybe an enhanced port or something like that down the road? It's either that or Doomguy in Smash. I could be wrong though, so who knows. Maybe this was the surprise, but I just don't think it is.

 

[8-peacock-8]

The first game is pretty good port on the Switch. I'm having a blast right now. I'll try out II and 3 later.

 

[Geassguy]

At least you only have to sign in to the beth account on one of the games once and it works for all 3.

But yeah, it's pretty damn dumb to have something like this on a 25 year old game, unless there's some kind of connectivity between these ports and Eternal we haven't seen yet.

And yeah, I'm with Holphino, the fact that these ports aren't Nintendo specific kinda says to me that this isn't the surprise. It could be, I wouldn't put it past them to misdirect like that, but unless nothing else Doom and Nintendo related happens I'm going with "not the surprise."

 

[cmbsfm]

Ah I thought Switch was the only one. Okay that’s cool, still hope that could mean something more.

There was an episode 5 for Doom 1? 0_o Interesting, and I thought episode 4 was as brutal as it got for that game.

John Romero just made a new one:

Even if you're used to steamrolling on Ultra Violence, I definitely don't recommend it for the first run through Sigil. I personally love Sigil but It was definitely designed around Hurt Me Plenty, and Ultra Violence on the other hand gets kinda sadistic and arguably verges on bull****ty at times.

It's not confirmed but it's pretty much assumed that this was intentional and Romero deliberately trolled the people who view UV as easy.

 

[Guynamednelson]

Ah, just like the existence of the Nightmare difficulty.

 

[shinhed-echi]

Yeah, that's right. Back in the PS360 era, Final Doom was missing from the BFG edition...

Only for a Classic Doom trilogy digital bundle to appear later including: U.Doom, Doom2(+ML), and Final Doom.
So the only way to get all of them was to buy both bundles. Kind of a bs move.

Hope we get FD, 64, and Sigil chapter added later.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

In addition to the having to make a Bethesda account to play these older games (which only takes like a minute to set up to be fair), you also have to be and remain connected online to play, which will be a hype killer for some. DRM even in single player games isn't uncommon nowadays though sadly.

 

[Wunderwaft]

Doomguy's chances already looked pretty strong with Eternal getting a Switch port. But now he's looking to be one of the most likely candidates after the three previous mainline games have received ports for the Switch. If hypothetically he's a DLC fighter then I'll make a guess and say that he'd probably be our fourth DLC fighter to coincide with the release of Doom Eternal.

 

[Looma]

Single player DRM is a scourge on everything good in this world and Todd will pay for this transgression with blood.

Or with Doomguy in Smash, which would more than sate me. Still not buying these though.

 

[Evil Trapezium]

I've got GZDoom with Brutal Doom mod so I'm already satisfied. No need to sell my soul just to play Doom on the go.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

I don't think there's a need to be that dramatic, but I do hope the backlash eventually results in Bethesda caving in and removing the DRM, at least for single player, as you'd still have to be connected for the multiplayer. If the Doom trilogy port doesn't sell that well because of the controversy, they may fix that bit with an update.

Nintendo doing this with Joker already really pisses me off and Doom is one of my train journey games. No way I'm wasting money on games I can't play when I most want to.

You actually don't need to be online all the time to play Doom (I tested with Doom 1 anyway). So play Doom (1 at least) on the train on your Switch to your heart's content.

 

[Ridley_Prime]

Yeah, I later learned that I was misinformed with what I saw regarding that bit. That’s good at least. That said, the Bethesda account thing is kinda being made worse an issue than it really is, especially when it’s a one time thing you don’t have to do again the next times you’re on the game.

 

[EarlTamm]

Well then.

There will definitely be a Switch port. It was Nintendo exclusive of course.

 

[MattX20]

See? I told you guys it was going to happen eventually.

 

[Megadoomer]

I'm not sure if this is legitimate, or the people behind this article didn't check other consoles for whatever reason, but it seems like the new ports might be Switch exclusive in Japan.

If that is true, I wonder why that is. I know the Switch is much more popular over there than the other consoles, but it's still odd. Kinda feels like they are trying to sell something to Japan when it comes to Doom and Nintendo.

 

[PublicServant]

Imma betting that a Doom 64 Switch port is going to be the second-to-last announcement for the next Nintendo Direct.

You could probably guess what the last one could be...

Probably because the game wouldn't fly too well with CERO if it was noticeable on other platforms. Lord knows the recent Mortal Kombat games aren't able to be distributed there in Japan because of that ratings board.

See? I told you guys it was going to happen eventually.

Right? It's amazing how people can't seem to wait these days.

Well Sony Japan went three ways insane with censorship but after seeing how complaining that Doom is too violent is still the death of credibility in the west, they let them through unchanged. And the XBox is to Japan what the Vita is to the West. That one niche console that no-one bought and the company is no longer interested in supporting.
