Doom Eternal vs Animal Crossing New Horizons

[greenwell]

Both games slated for 2019 that were delayed to March 20 2020. Do you think Doom will hurt Animal Crossing or both games can coexist? Especially with Doom Eternal Switch being MIA.

 

[ThatsMyTrunks]

I don't know, they pretty much occupy the exact same playerbase.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

Both games are going be fine, seriously.

This attempt at humor would be more successful if it was more original

Stepping to the King will be a harsh lesson for Doom Eternal.

 

[Gartooth]

I mean did you see what Yoshi and Sekiro did to each other!? /s

 

[Beedig]

They seem pretty chill about coexisting

 

[Kthulhu]

Lol of course they won't.

 

[Lusamine]

Yeah, Animal Crossing is going to be obliterated, everyone planning to get it wants Doom instead.

 

[Robin64]

They delayed the Switch version because they realised it wasn't as scary as a Tom Nook mortgage.

 

[Bonejack]

Galaxy Brain: I want Doom Slayer as a villager in Animal Crossing, because i want to hear how his Animal Crossing talking would sound!

 

[Deleted member 32018]

Animal Crossing will hurt Doom's sales just down to mindshare on that day, but overall not as much as TLOU2, FF7R and Cyberpunk 2077 will hurt Doom, it's not a great release date imo. June would have been better.

Not sure if serious

 

[LuigiMario]

It's gonna be fine especially considering the Switch Doom Eternal port is gonna be later.

Two hotly-anticipated games releasing on the same day is not a joke.

 

[Mediking]

AC for me

 

[Kitten Mittens]

Should have delayed your joke another 6 months until you found a proper payoff for it.

 

[Trrzs]

Doom is doomed.

 

[Roytheone]

I am super hyped for DOOM and slightly interested in AC, but since AC comes out in like...the most insane couple of months game release wise in quite some time i most likely will end up skipping AC. Not just DOOM's fault, also the million other big games coming out around then.

 

[Kolx]

The huge overlap in the userbase between the 2 franchises is really gonna hurt both games.

 

[Richietto]

The fact that Doom Switch is further delayed means Bethesda isn't too worried, hell I could believe they delayed it further because of AC. AC is massive and New Horizon will break records.

 

[Enduin]

AC will prove to be the true Eternal game.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

It does mean I'll delay grabbing AC, because Doom is something I want in my veins ASAP.

But generally, I don't think there's a lot of crossover.

 

[Wil348]

March was a stupid decision but not soley because of Animal Crossing. Watch Dogs and FFVII Remake will likely hurt it too.

 

[Twenty5Thousand]

I'm extremely doubtful there's a massive amount of crossover between Doom's and Animal Crossing's player base.

However if you're like me, and want both, then you're probably going to get both because those games satisfy two completely different gameplay types. Animal Crossing isn't gonna satisfy the urge to play Doom and vice versa.

 

[Deleted member 51789]

Sounds like a joke thread but...

Given Doom Eternal is delayed on Switch, it will have very little to zero impact on Animal Crossing. AC will do numbers regardless of what other titles release at the same time.

Doom does run a pretty high risk of being swallowed up by all the other releases in that Feb-March window though which would be a shame

 

[AvernOffset]

Mods that make Animal Crossing more like Doom: None, AFAIK
Mods that make Doom more like Animal Crossing: At least one

From this we can conclude that the Doom community is thirsty for what Animal Crossing provides, but not the other way around. New Horizons is going to eat Eternal's lunch.

 

[names2hard4you]

Would be interesting to have a poll and see who's planning to buy which game when the time comes around

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Doom Eternal isn't releasing on Switch on that day, so this comparison is pointless.

Hell, that was probably half the reason why they pushed back the Switch version of Doom Eternal in the first place (the other half being the obvious development issues that ID is going through; where pushing back the Switch version lightens the load on them and Panic Button).

 

[Vampirolol]

They are the same game.

 

[N.47H.4N]

lol joke thread?

 

[Deleted member 8468]

Doomguy is pretty tough, but I would never cross Tom Nook. That's a racoon with connections.

Not on the same platform though... So the joke doesn't work.

Nintendoomed™️

 

[Deleted member 10737]

doom won't hurt animal crossing, it may be the other way around (but probably not)

 

[Mudo]

I feel these 2 games are completely different beasts and neither will cannibalize sales of the other. Based on past titles in both series, I expect sales to be very strong for both. I know I'll be buying both day 1

 

[A Ream of Paper]

Damn, I forgot Animal Crossing: NH came out that day lol. Both will do fine imo. I'll be getting both personally.

 

[Xtortion]

I mean, can you double jump and air dash between floating Mario firebars in AC?

 

[criteriondog]

Totally different games, and the Switch version of Doom Eternal isn't even coming t the same day as Animal Crossing (I wonder if Nintendo had any say in that?).
I'm not really into Doom, but my brother is. I know he will get it. I'm getting Animal Crossing!

 

[data west]

I like the idea of an animal Crossing set in hell.

 

[ciD_Vain]

Never underestimate Tom Nook
