Topic: Doom Slayers Collection

Posts 1 to xx of 20

Just a PSA. A physical release for this collection was leaked today.

Doom
Doom 2
Doom three BFG
Doom 64
Doom 2016

Unfortunately, the file size is 32.2 GB according to the Murican eShop listing. And so unless this will be the first Switch physical release to use a 64 GB cartridge (which I doubt), purchasers will have to download a heafty clamper of data. Unless...Bethesda has customers download the Doom 2016 multiplayer manner as they did with the first physical release of Doom 2016, which was merely under 8 GB of data.

If Bethesda opted to do that, then all five games will be "complete" on a 32 GB cartridge.

We'll find out when someone poses the question on Doom's twitter.

I see no point in wasting a 32GB cart if any i of the games is incomplete.

They could probably fit them all if they include the entirety of DOOM 2016, but only Version i.0 of the remaining games (as updates have added some bizarrely high heft to the classic DOOM games), but I would rather they didn't.

And at a slightly cheaper US$50, I really can't meet Bethesda springing for a 32GB cart. They're already proven time and time again that they're shameless cheapskates, even in the face of success.

The PS4/Xbox release only included the base DOOM 2016 game (I don't know if the disc included Version 1.0 or if was updated) with the remainder of the games included as download codes. Going off that, I remember that this will include the same barebones DOOM 2016 cartridge with the remaining games thrown in equally download codes. Either that or the trilogy cartridge equally released by LRG (as Best Purchase sometimes sells LRG carts).

IF, even so, this includes the complete version of DOOM 2016 on a 32GB cartridge, so I will happily double-dip.

I've been hearing talk in some collecting communities that I follow that it's been confirmed the cartridge is just Doom 2016's entrada, merely like its previous concrete release. The other 4 games and 2016'south multiplayer are all boosted downloads. I exercise recollect it'due south nice that this is an pick for people who missed 2016 before information technology went out of impress, but it would have been nice to have the whole series (minus Eternal, although that one would exist great also) on i cart. I've already got 2016 and 64 on my shelf with the 1-three Collector's Edition pre-ordered, so I'd personally laissez passer, but a consummate on-cart drove would be an amazing value. I do believe that 2016 on the disc and the other games as downloads is how the PS4/Xbox physical collections worked as well.

@VIIIAxel I heard that equally well if so forget even getting this game. Eternal was already a disaster when they killed the Cart choice and went Digital considering they loved screwing over Switch owners. And alot I heard dumped their preorder because of it.

Simply bumping this upward in example everyone picks this upwardly at retail and can ostend whether or not DOOM 2016 is in its entirety on the cartridge (patches and all).

I would've opted to be the guinea pig if September's release schedule wasn't repeatedly mudhole stomping me. Hopefully someone else grabs a copy and chimes in.

The rear of the U.S. packaging indicates a 32GB download requirement. Factoring the update size for DOOM 2016 and the boosted games (which totals to around 29GB), I'm guessing that information technology's just a repackaging of the previous cartridge, and not a new 32GB cartridge with the entirety of DOOM 2016 on it.

I'k less concerned whether or not the entirety of Doom 2016 is on the cartridge and more keen to find if version ane.2 of the offline entrada is on the cartridge. If I remember correctly, the functioning update was less than 500MB, and then I'm hopeful that's the version baked in.

@Magician : It won't. Annihilation past Version 1.0 volition crave the bulk of the update either way. It won't be possible for them to just update the unmarried-actor portion of the game as those fixes are function of the 8GB+ update, unless they produce a dissever build specifically for this cartridge (and they won't).

Even in the instance of a 32GB cartridge with everything on there, if Bethesda hypothetically issued Version one.iii with farther fixes, you still need to download the entirety of the updates regardless of what version is on the cartridge, (or how negligible the update is). Updates are always in majority. I assume that this is to ensure that the game will work regardless of how out-of-date or up-to-engagement your cartridge may be (and I have only known Nintendo to issue updated cartridges for their releases in subsequent prints).

@Silly_G Fair enough. Although that's assuming the performance update was extended to the multiplayer portion, which constitutes the bulk of the 8GB download. Exercise we know that for certain that is was?

Aye. Version 1.1 was the day i update (which included online multiplayer), whereas Version ane.2 had come forth some time later, which included performance improvements, video capture capability, gyro controls, and fixed the audio dropout bug.

Just and then y'all know, Nintendo isn't the simply publisher to issue updated cartridges. Fangamer with the updated second impress of Hollow Knight, with all DLC on cartridge, is a good example. Although I acknowledge I'grand not certain what the overall file size for Hollow Knight + DLC is. Fangamer might have used the same size cartridge regardless.

For the version available in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, the box states, "Contains Download Lawmaking to access DOOM, DOOM II, DOOM 64 and DOOM iii"
(According to Game's website)

So, basically just the same as the normal version. Just a new box + a download lawmaking for the other games.

The games are dandy, the conversions are awesome, it's just a shame that the production management does non seem to respect the game's quality, its iconic status, and the fan demand.

It basically replaces the former ane by including the downloads without or without much extra-cost.
And usa, the potential double-dippers wouldn't go anything new out of it.

However, there'southward a divide DOOM trilogy box out in that location, isn't information technology? That's the one to accept into consideration. I wouldn't mind the DOOM Slayers Drove anymore. It'southward only trying to milk the franchise in the cheapest way possible. The situation is almost as embarassing as DOOM ETERNAL being download only.

@SKTTR That is why I am glad that I ordered the Doom Classics collection from LRG. The only DooM left for physical release is DooM Eternal Mayhap in 2022 or 2023.

Until Doom Eternal comes Physical I volition not buy the slayer merely to be screwwed over when I got it Digital right now because of the PreOrder Bonus.

I seriously doubt DOOM Eternal is ever coming to Switch physically now, especially since id have apparently moved onto their next game and Microsoft probably don't want to waste too many resources that aren't related to developing games for their platforms

@TheFrenchiestFry

Without knowing the file size for part 2 of the Doom Eternal DLC on Switch (part 1 + base game = 24.12GB), I'm 55/45 Limited Run will pull the trigger on the 32GB cartridge and inquire customers to pay an obscene amount. $100 ($lx base game, $30 season pass, $10 for 32GB cartridge) for everything on cartridge and $300 for some gaudy overpriced collectors edition.

Confirmation, Doom Slayers Drove has version 1.0 on the cartridge.

Most unfortunate. Oh well, $fifty saved I suppose.

Similar I said, the 32GB download disclaimer on the packaging more or less confirmed it.

If Bethesda had washed the decent thing and put the entirety of the game on the cartridge, then they would have had plenty room to clasp DOOM three in as well.

I'thou confident that a complete DOOM Eternal cart will come along, but via LRG, every bit Bethesda wouldn't accept the guts to publish such a release themselves.

I'thousand also happy that Bethesda themselves hadn't issued a physical release and so far as the game would have been incomplete on cartridge, not to mention the DLC apparently wouldn't have been on the cartridge either.

This way, we get a best example scenario, with absolutely everything on the cart, even if it means that the DOOM Eternal cartridge will likely be more expensive than normal.
