I watched the DF retro video on Metroid Prime and now I'm seriously fiending for the drat game, I think I only played through the first two once each on their original release and I never finished 3 iirc so I'm well overdue revisiting them. If the rumours about Nintendo sitting on a completed port of Metroid Prime trilogy are true, the delay to 4 makes me extra frustrated because you could imagine they'll time the release of the trilogy to generate maximum hype for 4 Of course this is all just baseless speculation, I just wanna play those games again and I live a continent away from all the classic hardware I would be able to do that on

psylent posted:Oldskool FPS farts snort derisively at the thought of playing an oldskool fps with anything other than a mouse and keyboard. The main reason that twitchy Quake-style shooters normally aren't playable on a console is that there's no way to aim quickly and accurately, and that problem has been solved with gyro aiming. Give me a Switch release of Doom/Doom II with a curated list of WADs, Quake II, and Devil Daggers. gently caress it, throw Daikatana on there. Dusk is supposedly coming out at some point, too.

For the record, Doom and Doom 2 sans engine modding would gain absolutely nothing from Gyro aiming. The others, yes

Ultimate Chicken Horse is a great party game for $10. Can’t recommend it enough. I got my money worth in the first game against my girlfriend. She decided to place easy to grab coins so my strategy became “gently caress her up with traps.”

Did DOOM even support mouse movement? I remember using the arrows, possibly WASD + Arrow I know I used that for a few FPS back in the DOS days.

Doom 1 allowed mouse aiming left and right with a mouse and fire with a click, but was intended for using the keyboard exclusively. A FUCKIN CANARY!! posted:How so? Even with vertical autoaiming, gyro is still closer to a mouse than a joystick is. See above, but Doom 1 and 2 were built for pure keyboard aiming. Gyro is useful* for fine tuning aiming on a 2d plane, Doom doesnt do that since its effectively a twin stick shooter controlled from first person so having fine tuning adds nothing. *This is my note to say it has never done this for me

pixaal posted:Did DOOM even support mouse movement? I remember using the arrows, possibly WASD + Arrow I know I used that for a few FPS back in the DOS days. WASD controls weren't standardized yet or anything, but everyone I knew that owned a mouse used it. I used something like forward on middle mouse, back on space, X and C for strafing. The original maps are designed to be playable keyboard only, but you'll still get demolished in multiplayer by anyone using a mouse. Both Joy-cons have motion control capability, so split screen Doom would be perfect on Switch. A FUCKIN CANARY!! fucked around with this message at 16:35 on Mar 8, 2019 |

I remember my dad playing Doom1 by picking up the mouse and dragging it towards him to move forward. You could play mostly mouse only. I think you might have needed to use the keyboard to switch weapons.

Is there a recommended portable USB power bank for the switch? I’m not sure if I trust the one in the OP just because it’s licensed by Nintendo, if it’s truly the best option I’ll go for it but at that price point I doubt it’s the best.

Doom was definitely built for mouse early on. I'm not sure if it had mouselook support in version 1.0 or whatever but by a few patches in at least, it definitely had full mouse support. I had right-click bound to move forward and used < and > to strafe. I'm pretty sure I never ran backwards, I just dragged the mouse backwards if I needed to step out of range of something.

Doom 1 and 2 do not natively have mouselook/freelook. New sourceports by modders support it, but the original game did not use it. It took years after Doom for that to become a thing because Quake 1, even, did not have its faux mouselook on by default despite having the feature and to enable real modern mouselook you have to bring up the games console and turn on the real function.

Quantum of Phallus posted:Have you seen the homebew videos of Doom 3 running on Switch? Pretty cool! There's a 1080p60 version of Doom 3 BFG Edition you can buy for your ShieldTV, which uses similar hardware, so it wouldn't be hard for them to do. I have the 360 version and as one of those broken people who thinks Doom 3 is good-to-very-good I'd get it for the Switch, especially if it came with 1 and 2. Quake 4 for the 360 actually came with a bonus disc that included Quake II, which supported 1080p despite launch model 360s not supporting 1080p. Get all them Quakes on the Switch too.

I installed the very first release of Doom from December 10, 1993 to check and it's the first thing the setup program asks you. Works just as you'd expect in game.

I remember that the in-game mouse sensitivity slider wasn't nearly wide enough and you had to manually modify the cfg file to get it to a reasonable sensitivity, and if you put it too high, the game would crash when you open the options menu because the little slider button would try to render off screen.

I think those of us who lived through early 90s PC gaming don't draw the same distinction between Doom-style mouselook and Quake-style mouselook that he does.
