I want to see this thread evolve into a big doom bash and defend thread. you bash the game saying its shit and all that. And other people defend the game by proving them wrong and starting a APOCALYPSE in this thread.
 
oki.. I START :D

I think doom3 is more then a glorefied techdemo. damn the peeps who think that way. "ooh.. they make this to sell thier engine and ask insane amount's of cash for it". WTF.. the doom3 engine is only $250.000. the ut2003 engine was double that.
 
True, but even with 512 mbs of RAM and an okay graphics card I can just barely run the alpha, but even though it will be optimized for its final release, the game needs a god system to run on.
 
I'm going to buy HL2. I'm also going to buy Doom3.

I intend to enjoy them both. Kthxbye.
 
thats true.. but the game is delayed for.. Q1/2/3 2004 so it doesnt really mather

I'd love to know where you got that info from. Quake 3 was a $500k license. Doom3 is considerably more expensive, and is by invitation-only.
 
hmm.. I guess I was a little missinformed then..

/me needs to crush some skulls for making me look like a fool using info like that.
 
evil: calm down and look at the cute ducky
<------------------
 
itll help alot, whenever i feel like walking down to the doom 3 hq and bashing a couple heads in, ripping off a couple wangs, shooting a couple guys in the face with a shotgun i like to look at the picture of the ducky. Then i feel calm and i just go wank off :cheese:

j/k
 
how... delightful? okay well to get this back on track, though I plan to get both, I thought in the 2003 E3 video when you see the skull enter the soldier and see him slowly turn into a zombie, I thought the faces didnt really look realistic
 
Erm, I had an Alpha of UT2K3 and that ran like a dogs breakfast on ANY system, so don't judge games on their alphas :)
 
Anyway. I really like the "artdirection" doom3 is going. the monsters are sick. and to make a fat guys face look THAT scary is first class. however i do feel that some models are a bit TO lowpoly, there is a technique that takes the info of a normal map and cuts away the edges so it looks like a real high reso model. really cool technique. but the main question now is.. WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING!. i mean.. c'mon. they said that all the maps are done. and the MP is dony by another company so they dont need to handel that. what do you need to do more. dont tell me that they need 6/9 month's to create the enemy's and put everything together!
 
just watched the DOOM 3 trailer, didnt amuse me. The graphics are too smooth, the characters kinda look 'wet'. If i get it, i dont think ill get it. I was never a DOOM fan
 
the wet thing is because of the specualar. you should have seen them with specular off.. it looks very ugly
 
off-topic: Mr. Badger I love your avatar, Rage Against the Machine and/or Che Geurrera fan?

on-topic: okay your right about the alphas, and I guess I can live with that it IS their art direction to not go super-realistic liek HL2... so I guess those are the only two things bothering me besides rather boring and simplisctic weapons, but thats not a big deal, still be fun
 
off-topic: Thanks, yeah, I love Rage Against the Machine... and I'm kinda communist in my politics... yet I aknowledge that it doesn't work :)

(I rather like your avatar... reminds me of my friend Emo Jake, he'd draw stuff like that all the time in physics and stuff... :) )

on-topic... I haven't seen the alpha apart from what EVIL has shown me, and it looks pretty fun yeah... and I personally love the whole feel and design asthetic of the game.. :)

cool... EVIL made my avatar... thanks EVIL ^_^


anyway.... we appear to be hi-jacking his thread :)

I think Doom 3 is going to be a good experience for all who play.... :)
 
haha oops


oh and yes, it will, i dont really like when people try and compare them to see which is better... thats okay when you wanna buy the right graphics card, but they're both just games and they will both be fun.
 
games have thier ups and downs, it will still be fun, when you want 32-64 multiplayer (maybe 64) then you always have HL2
 
Fun multiplayer, according to everyone who has played it so far.

WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING
Click to expand...

THEY STILL GOT PLENTY TO DO

they said that all the maps are done

There is still some tweaking to be done.

and the MP is dony by another company so they dont need to handel that.

No. SplashDamage is just making the MP maps. Given that it takes alot of time and work to make a good map, due to all the 3d models that must be made to generate the normal maps for every surface, it was a very wise decision to contract that work out to another team. However, iD still oversees the map making process and makes the decisions, and they also handel everyhting that has to do with multiplayer other than map making.
 
I can't wait to play Doom 3. It'll be like the old days.

Playing only 4 people online in 640 x480 resolution on the top end computers!
 
Hahaha. Thats quite funny actually.

I think its pretty definite that Hl2 can handle 64 players. I mean, its been said that it will be able to support 32+. There are people that, from what they have seen, say that theoretically, Hl2 could support massive amounts, its just something mod makers would have to do. However, a game with 1024 players would run slower than a snails pace. But it seems entirely likely that there could be games with 128 players.
 
I dont like Doom3 (even though its not out yet i dont like it).
The reason is that i have Geforce 4 MX so Doom3 will not run on my comp ;(;( (if it will run i dont think it would run very smooth).
 
If it runs on my computer, someone has been messing with it. I have a GeForce 2...Rock on!

I probably could have done with buying that lego Geforce off ebay.
 
man.. the alpha runs at a good fps on my AMD thunderbird 1ghz, 512 mb ram and a geforce 2 mx400 card and the alpha is very.. how do you call it.. unoptomized. its not buggy, its proppably the most stable alpha I have ever seen. not a single crash or wierd error. just like all the engines from id but it is very unoptomized for the latest and older graphiccards. I am almost sure that I can run the full version optomized and all with a constand of 40/60 fps on my current system

Yup.. just rechecked and they dont do the whole mp but the maps. i should have read further :)
 
"doom3. WOW how fun a bunch of evil gay looking monkeys jumping at you and u run to any exit i you can find. WOW holy cow so fun....

errr, but it'll look good rite? Yah for tight closet corridors all over the place ofcourse it would. WAI wAIT! dont forget the 4 player DM which is supposedly like a slow paced q3a. Except its peer 2 perr LOOOLZ"

there..a nice typical bash.
But in all seriouseness i beleive the MP and SP to be superior in HL2. however i still love doom3
 
ghehe.. thnx :D lol.. yeah hl2 will be superiour but doom3 will rock to
 
Off Topic: Can anyone make me a avartar?Evil you maybe?

On Topic: I will have to agree with subs I saw the doom 3 trailer.In my opinion Doom 3 is basically the scary version of Toy Story.
