Doom bored me to tears. I hope they've eliminated that feature from Doom III.

The game looks like fun. I've been itching to play something atmospheric. The graphics look good too, but farcry already exposed me to that sorta stuff. So it no longer has that "Oooh" factor. So now I can atleast see how it playes as a game, instead of oogling at the pritty pictures.
I have returned... Again...

I quite digged Doom, but this one is, apparently more like System Shock 2. And when has that been a bad thing.

I just hope they've actually got it right. D3 is hyped to high heaven, so it had better deliver. It's all very well having the pretty eye candy, but a fun gaming experience is required, as is a good storyline.

Gamers expect that these days. When Doom and Doom II were around, we were content to just blast through the levels, grab the keycards and blow the crap out of the final uber-boss. Doom 3 will not get away with that, despite the pedigree of the previous instalments.

Besides, I'm looking forward to Half-Life 2 more than Doom 3.

System Shock 2? never played it either.

Maybe im just the kind of gamer who stuck to realistic games more then the fantasy ones? I should check doom out i might like it.

one word, Mr Admin (sir), atmosphere.
Doom had it in bundles, as did System Shock2. You owe it to yorself to find Shock. Seriously.

The Cargo Docks are scary as hell, without much actually happening.

Shock 2 had one heck of a story. From what I read, so will Doom III. Though, they have a very small chance of topping SHODAN.

that was a cool twist wasn't it ?
Did you find that log in the Med/Sci crew quarters, where Dr I forgetHerName told Delacroix about the fragmented AI ?

Did you clock her voice being totally different to the emils she had been sending ? I must have played through the game 5 times, then it suddenly dawned on me.
That, was cool.

Nope, but you just made me decide to go and find out.

I loved Doom!

Running around blasting demons with the coolest-sounding shotgun... ahh, the memories!

No game has recaptured the atmosphere of the original Dooms - It was a weird mixture of insane-hyper-adrenaline filled blast-fests with suspense building bits thrown in. And the Maps!

Say what you will about Romero, he made some great maps for that game. I tend to find most modern FPS maps tend to be, well, samey, uninspired and generally unimpressive.

The main exception is Half-life, that also had great maps.

Doom 3 is a bit false: It is gonna have very little to do with the first two, and in fact usurps the plot from them!
D1&2 were fast-paced action-packed shooters, but D3 is gonna be a slow-paced atmosphere-shooter, more akin to System Shock, or Thief, or ahh crap what's that game... Silent Hill? Alien vs. Predator? (Well, when you are playing a marine :))

It will be one seriously awesomely scary game, but people expecting the next Doom are gonna be disappointed I reckon.
I won't buy it until the Linux client comes out 'tho, since they say Win98 isn't supported ;)
