In The Switch 2's First Year, Every Third-Party Port Tells A Story About The System

In The Switch 2's First Year, Every Third-Party Port Tells A Story About The System https://ift.tt/ALSFUyT In November 2017, Bethesda Softworks and port specialists Panic Button performed what seemed like a miracle: They released a Switch port for id Software's recent reboot of Doom. The game, a famously fast-paced, intense shooter with modern graphics, seemed ill-suited to Nintendo's handheld and its capabilities, but despite some visual blurriness and a reduction in the frame rate, the game held up well on the hybrid system. In GameSpot's 8/10 review of the Switch port, Peter Brown praised the game as "an impressive port that begs you to consider gameplay over graphics."

Gerwig said that she cast Gosling in the role because of a quality he has about never judging the characters. "He doesn't try and make you know that Ryan Gosling knows that this is silly.
