Sweet Jesus (Doom 3)

1

I got an early copy from a friend who works @ a local game store. All I can say is, BUY IT. (even if you need a new video card). This game is INTENSE. If you think Resident Evil or Silent Hill are scary… wow. You’re in for a trip. Anyone else tried it out yet? I’ve logged a good two hours.

I wasn’t the biggest fan going into it. I was more looking forward to HL2 and such, but after witnessing this, I think I’ve got a new favorite game of the last couple years. The presentation is AWESOME. From the menu’s, to the animated and HIGHLY interactive computer screens, everything is polished. Props to ID on this one. Score another for the home team.

The movie makes it look really fast paced and scary two things i’m not good with.

It just:

  • went to google
  • searched for doom3 's official site
  • find out it was the obvious www.doom3.com
  • watched the trailer
  • pissed my pants.

:wink:

According to [H]ardOCP, you don’t really need a powerful system to enjoy the game. They said the game plays extremely well on 640x480: http://www2.hardocp.com/article.html?art=NjQ0 (contains a ton of graphs, screenshots, and comparisons)

I will hold out until another, less-scary, game based on the Doom 3 engine comes out instead :stuck_out_tongue:

Doom3 is single player only right? (forgive me for not finding out for myself but its hard to do much surfing on a SHARED AOL DIALUP CONNECTION)

:slight_smile:

Ditto :ne:

And I don’t think it’s only single player… Since I found this article about the multiplayer capabilities (didn’t read the whole thing though :P)

thnx El_Thierro :slight_smile:

I have pity for you sen :stuck_out_tongue:

Now, if Doom has a co-op mode for the campaign, that would be excellent! It’s less scary when you tag behind your partner(s) who get devoured, mauled, slashed, shot at, jumped, etc. by demons instead :stuck_out_tongue:

10

that would be pretty fun co-op dom like doom 2

11

kirupa, I think the xbox version will have cooperative, thats the only reason I want it on xbox :slight_smile:

12

No problem :slight_smile:

And will the Xbox have Cooperative? Hmm, that oughta be cool… And less creepy indeed :ne:

13

that´s what I heard but a few months ago, dont know if they still plan to include it, Im not in the mood right now to search :stuck_out_tongue:

14

Co-op is always nice. Developers have a habit of not putting co-op on PC versions (grrrrr) because the network code would be so hard to implement, and it’s slightly impossible to have two people on the same computer (unless, of course, you get two USB mice and some crazy drivers).

Consoles, on the other hand, don’t need networking code. Yay!

I do hear that the Doom3 engine is quite awesome on any GeForce3, 1.5 Ghz and above system. Anything greater than that are supposed to just get you past 30fps on max quality. And as flash dev’s, we all know what kind of difference fps past 30 makes. :stuck_out_tongue:

15

I just hope my Gforce FX5200 its enough :frowning:

16

It will be. That’s what I have-- you’ll be fine.

17

great :slight_smile:

18

Man I also remember the first time I got my hands on that game. About a year ago, it was so intense, like you said. I couldn’t believe the elaboration of detail on the characters, totally extreme!

19

You mean the Beta or something?

Ow, ow, and will a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 do it? :beam:

20

Ah it was like a beta. It was called Alpha. It was funny, the menu’s didn’t work, you had to open console and command your way into the game. And it was only one mission, but still enough to make your pants moist :slight_smile:
