Doom Eternal Switch Has Not Been Cancelled But Is Now a Digital-Only Release - IGN
Doom Eternal on Switch has not been cancelled, but is now a digital-only release which may have cancelled some pre-orders by mistake.
Doom Eternal coming to Nintendo Switch next week
Slay on the go
Doom Eternal will be released on Nintendo Switch on Dec. 8, Nintendo and Bethesda Softworks announced Monday. Doom Eternal was released on PlayStation 4, Stadia, Windows PC, and Xbox One in March, with a Nintendo Switch release date expected later in the year.
“The wait is almost over,” Nintendo posted in a YouTube trailer Monday. “Get ready to conquer demons when Doom Eternal comes to Nintendo Switch on Dec. 8!” In an FAQ published on the Bethesda website, the company said the game will be digital-only, available through the Nintendo Switch eShop and through digital codes from other retailers.
Doom Eternal’s The Ancient Gods: Part One downloadable content will be released “at a later date.”
People who’ve already pre-ordered the game ahead of the release date may have had their pre-orders canceled, Bethesda said. The company said to “reach out to your retailer for instructions.”
Doom Eternal’s expected storage size on the Nintendo Switch is 18.8 GB, according to Bethesda.
We called Doom Eternal a worthy follow-up to 2016’s Doom and a shooter with “greater scope and clearer intent” in our review of the game.

RT is only reflections in this game, which you won't be seeing much considering how fast paced this game is and the pre baked lightning is already pretty good. So this is one of those games that rarely even needed a day tracing implementation, specially when it's wasn't even build with Ray tracing in mind for the future. I hope the next doom is built from the ground up with Ray tracing in mind, so it can really shine (metro Exodus remastered comes to mind)

Amazing work from ID all round. All consoles meet their respective frame rate target 99.9% of the time, and SX has a 20% resolution advantage at dynamic scaling, in-line with the TF difference.
Aniso filtering disabled but all other settings equivalent to Ultra on PC w/ RT at 1800p~ resolutions.
Incredible optimization and a great use case for $499 hardware punching above its weight.
GG ID.
AF being disabled is weird cause its generally a cheap effect.

"Ultra" but there are 2 presets above Ultra on PC. (Nightmare and Ultra Nightmare)
So, basically medium all around. Punching as expected
Also, likely their first and last game on PS5.

The console versions are good but man the PC port takes a shit on both of them even with 900p DLSS!! Like what even is DLSS
The biggest thing missing from the console versions is an oversight, not a deliberate omission.
We have disabled traderscore and are working on a fix. There was a bug with the plugin | Click for Discord

170 + countries where Steam sells but PSN doesn't will lose access unless they use VPNfaraany3k said: -

It has a worst rating on Steam than last years MW3 now. Jeese Sony, how can you fuck it up THIS BAD
-
faraany3k:
I have heard that it is now unplayable in countries which do not support handful of third world countries not recognized by Sony like Pakistan. Steam is a true global platform.Then they cry that console gaming is dying. -

Gaben ki reach hai, PSN ki nahi hai. Gaben ain't stressing over publishers who rush to his store in the first place

Chandoo:
saeen I don't think the PSN teams are stressing over needing to offer hundreds of thousands of refunds lol

Necrokiller:
You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.iampasha said:
