Atlast, I can't wait. I still have a dreamcast just so I can play Soul Calibur. A truly excellent fighting game.

Im sure I posted on the news section a while ago, but there will be o multi player for doom 3, it is strictly solo

[Reign-Mack]

John spoke at E3 about Doom 3, one of the most anticipated titles this year and gaming development in general. Some of the more interesting points he discussed revolved around the "Golden Point" of graphics. He feels that the current generation of graphics cards can do anything an artist can dream up. Unfortunately, the physics and simulation technology has not kept up with the pace of the graphics market.

In the case of Doom 3, this has resulted in very little interaction with objects. John Carmack felt that the realism of the graphics and the game in general would be negatively affected by the inadequate physical models currently available. In other words, each item to be interacted with has to be individually assigned attributes, including interior structure, interior textures et al in case someone decides to break it.


In other games with a deformable/destructible environment the graphic technology was not in place so the modeling was much easier. In older games a plain-jane texture could be applied to the box, it could split into several chunks and dissipate into the air, and that was acceptable to the gamer as previously shot bodies disappeared, blood did not spray and the list goes on. Because of the realistic nature of Doom 3 (and I saw a preview video. Hold onto your hats.) id decided to leave anything out that would detract from the overall game. First to go? Multiplayer.


Because of the nature of multiplayer games, where individuals have to be able to traverse a map in any direction, often times level designers make several changes to enhance the multiplayer experience. With Doom 3, because of the workflow, an artist would create a room and it would take a week and a half to program. Any changes to the room would require reworking so id chose the economical route.


Another scary fact about Doom 3? It has consumed over 60 man years of development time. So long garage coders. Development costs have gone through the roof, with no end in sight.


On a side note, John chatted briefly about the X-prize (link to xprize site) project he is working on. His company is Armadillo Aerospace, and is competing for the X-prize. Apparently the X-prize project is consuming loads of his time. No wonder the game is delayed. µ

[pEEpiNg toM]

so system link
that f*ck!n sucks

[tk375]

if I had to choose 5 games, they would be:

Star Wars Galaxies
Star Wars Kotor
Halo 2
Doom 3
Soul Calibur 2

[fusionmonster]

Who in there right mind would not get Halo 2.

I am really looking forward to playing this title. I can almost garauntee it's going to be delayed. Just to make us all sweat.

What I want to know though is were are the Shooter games for the X Box. I love Mars Matrix for the DC and Gunbird 2 to mention a few. Is there anything like this for the Box.

[pEEpiNg toM]

all i know is im pissed
no live or sys link for DOOM 3... i would be satisfied with a date push back just to get these features

actually I think it will be refreshing there are too many FPS comming out for xbox were they have concentrated too much on the xbox live and multi-player aspects and totolly ignored the soo mission leading to a lot of crappy FPS if you dont have xbox live or LAN party's every weekend.

Just take a look at Return the castle wolfenstien, brilliant on xbox live but really crap on solo and even split screen co-opp is crap because of poor level design, same with unreal champ, and mech assult.)

only games that have equally good single and multi player modes are Time Splitters, Ghost Recon and Halo.

[pEEpiNg toM]

i understand this Reign Mack this is why they should "take all the time they really need" so EVERY aspect of the game will be as perfect as they can get it... concentrating on the story/game/solo first then the multiplayer/l!ve

i dunno its just with a game like doom 3 i wanted it to have everything
i mean i think they did a good job with Halo and it has sys link also
graphix may not be as good as doom 3 but then again that would only add on to doom 3 cause it has such good graphix

i durno......i think we'll be missing out

[GeorgeS]

Doom 3 should have sys link. The reason why I got hooked on fps in the first place was playing the original doom over a network with my friends. Doom will not be the same without sys link.

[pEEpiNg toM]

thank u george
even if it is not L!VE (which it should be)
it at the LEAST needs sys link

[pEEpiNg toM]
