carmack is a genious as far as effiecient game engines go, but he likes to keep his games true to the style he pioneered with the original doom. of course when the original doom came out i was playing descent i do like the general environment of the game, dark and scarey ambiance, and the occasional hallucination, or cases of getting posessed. its a beautifull thing *sniff*.

unreal 2 was lame in story good in effects,and it didnt even try to set the proper environment. i think id has beter graphic designers than epic or whoever it was that does unreal. they could have really done without the mission briefings. they should have just continued the original story instead of make a new one. i do like the uy2004 demo though, does open areas really good and combat is cool too.

but anyway graphics have goten too good, they need to focus on gameplay and environment.

I'm inclined to agree with Unknown Target as far as repetitive action goes. The game still looks great and oozes quality craftsmanship - but it's now becomming much easier to predict when to save and so forth... as you know something is going to jump at you the second you pick up that ammo over there....

Which doesn't make it any less startling or adrenaline pumping - just a little "couldn't they have come up with something more?".

I'd kinda like to see the denzins of hell stalking around the place in a "searching for you" manner - perhaps even allowing for some form of stealth and use of shadows to avoid them - rather than having them show up and know exactly where you are.

But that's just me. Bring on an Aliens Vs Predator mod.

Indeed.
Hehe, an aliens vs predator mod would be quite frightening I'd imagine.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see if not a few more mods but a new AvsP game once the movie comes out.

I can't wait for the movie also
$10 on the Predator!


btw, thanks for all the info on the better drivers etc.

Now got Doom3 and a few other games running heaps better.

On a side note, who else loves that kewl little flaming head figurine?

I played on Ultra quality with my Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB for a short time. You don't need 512MB to run at that quality, but it is rather slow because it's constantly swapping textures in and out of the video card's RAM. I did play the game the rest of the time on High quality (which supposedly requires 256MB of video RAM) with 4x AA and all other settings at max and got between 20-50 FPS.

The original wasn't all that great though to be fair. Looked nice but kinda hollow.

Anyone else think Doom3 is like Quake 2 with nice graphics and Half lifes sense of drama?

EA closed down the Doom 3 System Shock mod, in case you're wondering.

[Unknown Target]

Leave it to EA to be pricks.

[Nuke]

i made it to hell, yay!

[Flipside]

Completed it a few days ago.

I.Want.More!

This is the first game that's got me thinking seriously about modding since FS2

[Nuke]

ive modded with the first 2 quakes and seeing as doom3 is a revamped q3 engine it should be about the same from the modding side.

[Sigma957]

I've been to hell and back
This game is quite good, i like the story and now I want more.

[Nuke]

i just got out of hell. il probibly finish the game now that i have a couple days off work.

[Darkage]

I love it!!

prety freaky from time to time:D

You're serious?

I was wondering why your character seemed to slide across the floor, like in Q3....

[Nuke]

well i never got real far modding quake, q1 i did a bit of quake c, made some cool guns under several open source quake engines (the reason i quit modding quake1 was because the quake open source community couldnt consolidate their efforts). i did maps for q1 and q2, never finished em. i tried quake models, but none of em ever converted right. and thats about it, before that i was modding descent 2.

[Flipside]

I've modded Doom the original, and made maps for UT2K, but not touched map making for ages. Doom Editor is a ***** to get used to after UnrealEd
