Last week, on the 10th of December to be precise, the original DOOM by id Software was celebrating its 25th anniversary, and Bethesda released a video commemorating 25 years of demon-slaying greatness.
Bethesda wasn't the only ones celebrating the 25th anniversary of the
DOOM series, since Panic Button also gave Nintendo Switch players a present that came in the form of a new patch for the latest
DOOM.
The
DOOM Patch 1.2 gave players the option to add recent players they've met online to their Friends List, as well as some minor improvements that promised to make the gaming experience slightly better.
This new analysis video by Digital Foundry goes over some of the improvements this new patch is adding to
DOOM on the Nintendo Switch. The new patch does, indeed, make the game perform better than before, with a slight change in resolution that has gone up from 1080x684p to a more standard 1080x720p in dock mode.
DOOM for the Nintendo Switch, after the patch was added, is still locked at 30fps, but it does seem to be more stable than it was before. Then again, the game is running on a handheld console, so it is to be expected that such a demanding game drops frames every now and then during heated battles.
Overall, it is nice to see that Panic Button is still working on improving the game; not to mention that they had already done a wonderful job porting the game to the Nintendo Switch in the first place, which is, quite frankly, already worthy of admiration in and of itself.
DOOM is a brutally fun and challenging modern-day shooter experience, now available for Nintendo Switch! Obliterate demon hordes in the single-player campaign, or compete against your friends in numerous multiplayer modes.
DOOM is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC.
