do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Interesting, but given the record of movies-of-games we've seen recently, I'm not gonna hold my breath until I read reviews.
Any fool can pull a trigger...

The Doom Movie has been on the books for absolutely years If Doom 3 doesn't capture the mood of the original and flops, then this will movie will not happen :(

Right. You forgot the stuttering in any cinema smaller than a cinemax ;)

This should be interesting, I wonder if they'll take it in the direction of action or a more slow paced 28 Days style psychological thriller.

I think aldo_14's refering to Doom1 and Doom 2 which I have played and it is a bit repetetive though.  But the film and Doom 3 should be better.

Looks like it's going to be the usual one-heroic-guy against satanic-forces-of-evil. But I guess that's what Doom is all about.

What would be cool was if the entire army that doom marine guy is part of invaded hell... it would be like a cross between Event Horizon and Starship Troopers :drevil:

It was originally quoted as an Arnie Spectacular with music by Pantera, who's tune 'Mouth for War' was one of the main Doom music themes ;)

Admittedly, this was more or less a decade ago ;)

Man goes to mars
Man meets demons - lots of demons
Man shoots demons
That's about it.

Although i found the original design document for Doom on the net a while back - it was actually pretty interesting - some of the ideas would have been groundbreaking had they been implemented (i.e. use of logical puzzles, like picking up a severed hand to access a door).

EDIt - found it - it's an interesting read, hactually http://5years.doomworld.com/doombible/

Although it does give the impression that the game could have been much, much better than i remeber it being.

Wow.... It's like playing Unreal all over again ;)

The question is will the Baddies be the likes of the CyberDemon and Cacodaemon we all know and love or will they take the easy option and just use the Film CG quality models for Doom 3 that ID have made?

Doom 3 WAS groundbreaking for it's time, and, if they have re-written Doom with the same monsters (but different levels of course) and 2004 level hardware use, I'll be in the queue the day before.

If they have, however, done a Castle Wolfenstein, I don't think I'll be interested. Castle Wolfenstein, whilst a good game in itself, was right not to be Called Wolfenstein 2 :(

Yep, just looked, they are using the Doom 3 stuff, pity, half the fun of Doom was firing a rocket right into the happy smiling face of a big red cacodaemon :( Now, I suspect, they will be much darker and slimier :(
