Who else thinks Doom 3's graphics are better than Half Life 2's?

Me.

HL2 has the shaders, but Doom3 has the shadows. Which work better for the atmosphere.

Bah. It's supposed to be. Try turning the lights off around you to cut back the glare and up the gamma some.

It is very scarey that game. I near soiled my pants near the begining where that imp comes through that staircase. Holy hell!
I just about jumped outa me pants. :lol:

feh.. so it at "atmosphere" the beginning was too dark anyway, even the supposedly well-lit areas were darkish.. in the beginning of the game..

it was just annoying to switch from flashlight to gun, and back again in extremely dark places.

Aye, bit irritating. But you can d/l some mods which stickytape a torch onto all the guns so you don't have to switch. :p

HL2 has shadows, too, only they are more realistic.

Anyway, All hail His Rockness! hmmm...the article says it takes place on mars and hell creatures are released, but i thought the movie was gonna be on earth with bio engineered creatures? (contridicting the games) which one is right?

More realistic perhaps, but less definition and interaction with the world.

The game engine is alright, just too bad the game sucked to high hell.

Half Life 2 was a system whore, it sucked my entire system down the drain, I had to upgrade my RAM just to play it well. Yet with Doom 3, which was running a couple months earlier on the same machine, it was perfect, with practically no stuttering.

Half Life 2's "shadows" are usually just fuzzy blobs for me, even though I have the detail set to highest. Also, everything in Half Life 2 lookd much more...sterile or something, cartoony might be the right word. The objects in Doom 3 looked like they sort of had depth or something, like they were actually there. Half Life  2 looks good -as a game, not as a representation of the real world. It looks like how a game should look, while Doom 3 looks more like how a game that's trying to look real should look, imo.


And anyway, you can get a duct tape mod that puts a flashlight on the ends of your shotgun and assault rifle (I use it!) :)

Funny, was the other way around for me. On the other hand... don't get me started which is better as a game. HL2 wins hands down.

hmm, yeah, sorry, but HL2 looks better for me. Doom III tried to be too atmospheric and dark, to the point that it didn't look real. my shadows were never blobby looking. get a better card.

My system:

P4 2 Ghz
512 Megs of RAM (256 when I first ran D3 and HL2, but HL2 made me upgrade).
Geforce 4 Ti4600
Windows XP


That system ran Doom 3 perfectly, but Half Life 2 gave me constant stuttering. And don't even get me STARTED on that RETARDED, PIECE OF GODDAMN **** loading system. You literall load about a HUNDRED square feet of level, then it ends it. You play for 30 seconds, then have to wait 5 minutes for the next part of the level. I'd love to play through Half Life 2 again, but I can NOT do those load times.
