Xbox One owners already had all these 3 games via BC.
I'm so getting Doom 1993 for the Switch though. Like, today. Oh yes.

lol this is my thought exactly.
If you just need to login once, this is a non story
on the PSN pages it says "Bethesda.net account required" at the bottom
How is Doom 3 on PS4? Is the aiming better than the PS3 version?
Also fuck what they did for the Classic Doom games. You could get the Doom Classic Collection with literally every single classic Doom game and it's expansions (aside from Doom 64) for around 10 bucks. They also include co op and death match too.

Nope. Not without making an account first and logging in at least once. Turned on airplane mode and all it does now is tell me to turn it off and that an account is required. Not cool

You shouldn't have to log in at all for a single player game, but if it is indeed just one login EVER, then that's not AS bad as initially thought.
Welp 3 is downloading as I am writing this! Nice surprise. Thanks Bethesda this is the way you treat Nintendo gamers.
people are saying they have delisted the digital BC option for those games
Just to clear up any confusion, when we mention the BFG version of Doom 3, we mean the one that was revamped for more action and allows you to shoot and use your flashlight at the same time...at 60 fps.
There's something incredibly future-bleak and draconian about seeing a message like that in the Doom font. Doom is about openness and sharing goddamnit.
How? I turned airplane mode on on my Switch and tried playing the game- got hit with a prompt that I had to be connected.
EDIT: Nevermind, got it working.

Okay, I can confirm something: It JUST needs the initial login.
After that, even if you start in offline mode, it'll let you in. Just let's you note about some features aren't available.
This is still not... great, but it's not as bad as I first thought it'd be.
EDIT: One last thing, yes, it'll whine at you for being offline or airplane mode, but only the initial start up. Should let you in game after that.

Yeah that's still awful. Forcing someone to make a Bethesda account solely for playing a classic title is a gross decision.
I guess I missed it somehow. Read through the whole doom 2 description twice
The whole lighting engine was changed to be much brighter for the BFG edition. So I'd honestly prefer to go back to how it originally played.
I'm still waiting for a confirmation on which Doom 3 this one is.
I would like to know this as well. What is the word on Doom 3's performance on Switch. Particularly in handheld mode?
I tweeted at panic button asking if it was 60 fps and they haven't replied..........so I am guessing 30.
That was a shame, I agree. It was a downgrade in that aspect. In my case, I prefer the more action oriented version for portable play...I own the original on the PC.
Yeah I still think this is bullshit. It should be optional. You shoudn't have to login even once to play an old singleplayer port. And not one person wants to be pestered by their game about online accounts every time they open it while they're offline. Messages like that should only appear when specifically accessing/viewing online features. And if you buy a game, it should just work without you having to make extra accounts. There shouldn't be additional barriers to playing.
I bought Doom 1/2 on XBLA and both can still be downloaded.
It was 60fps on PS3 and 360, so it should be fine on Switch.
Its downloading so I guess I'll find out soon.
