OCH Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Nintendo's greatest success rate has always been in the handheld market. Now they have a viable way to push their console systems in that direction, and sales of the Switch suggest people are receptive to it, I think they will stick with this tech now too.

Manicm Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I always play my switch handheld so don’t feel the need currently for more power, although I do find non Nintendo games do struggle. Fifa being one, if they released a pro maybe through the dock as the current one does bugger all I would get one but whatever the next console is I would get it. From memory the current dock it’s just a connection dock for cables etc and does very little else. Im interested in the next original switch, doubles battery life, anyone know what to look for at retail for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different packaging: To make sure you can also check the model number (needs to end with a number in brackets, for example HAC-001 (01)). Should be on the right side of the box.

Maf Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 The Doom trilogy came out on Switch. I mean it’s no Turok but maybe ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It's also a downloadable game with extra DRM features just to make sure they won't recover from Fallout 76 anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Turns out the games came out on everything. I’m tempted to buy 1 or 2 as a curiosity. I’ve played them sporadically before with all the cheats on but not really in-depth enough to have nostalgia for them so I don’t know if I would actually like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The first DOOM is still a great game. The controls have dated by modern standards obviously but the game never asks you to do anything the controls can't handle. Kind of like Resi 4 and I would say it has a similar timeless quality because of it. DOOM 2 I think is too hard and I'm a baby but it does have some really cool levels.

one-armed dwarf Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Doom 1 and 2 hold up better than Doom3 probably. Do all the ports have the silly phone home DRM that interrupts gameplay when the signal drops? Cause if so then just forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 It says Bethesda.net account required in the game listing but also says it can be played in handheld mode so who knows? Certainly not worth paying 4 quid for the privilege of finding out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Apparently it's just a one-time log-in you have to do when you boot it up the first time. Probably just some kind of verification process and after that you can play in handheld mode and offline. But it still shouldn't be a thing.

Maf Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Log in issues aside I think I’ll wait until these games appear in an Xbox sale. Not to bring it up again but the Ezio collection on Xbox is £7 right now. For the Doom trilogy I think it’s £15. Fair enough one of these is a sale price so maybe not apples to apples, but also one of these sets is 25+ years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the point Sometimes drm authorization servers go down. Sometimes they don't come back. Already mentioned MGR on mac as an existing example of this, as well as cases where I've not being able to sign in to play stuff I've downloaded on PC (Inside, also Gears 4) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is yet another reason digital/streaming is such a bad idea... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 I had that DOOM 3 version on PS3 that had the classic DOOM games on it too. Can't remember for life of me if they were separate downloads or on the disc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
