DOOM III !!!

I still play Ultimate Doom and Doom 2, regret not having Final Doom... but it's so perfect, those deamon sounds, the music, the enviroment, man that enviroment, reminds me of Alien... abandoned Mars bases, rooms filled with bodies... I used to be scared when i first played the demo... i was like 9 years old and the sound volume was way up... when the game begun, all those gun shots really got my attention... One of the best puzzle solving game of it's category... if the new Doom feels like the originals, it will kill any other game...

What?? I didn't know Epic stepped aside. Is there a reason they did this? Does anyone know anything about Legend? I hope they keep up the work Epic has in the past https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

Legend is doing the game, don't worry there really good and it's under epics supervision. Personnaly Unreal killed Quake 2 in single player, and UT beat Q3 in multi. But forget all this U2 v. Doom 3 crap, I wan't Unreal Warfare, which Epic is developing..........wait scrap that I really really want HALF-LIFE 2 with a Counter Strike 2 mod, oh yeah.

If QuakeIII's textures didn't look so much like the toytle-heads that come out of my arse....I'd play it more often.

My vote goes for Unreal 2.

Both games are gonna be expensive. Software + vid card + cpu + mobo. All will likely have to be upgraded to play them. Oh I know about the 30fps crap with DooM3 but do you really believe that? I'm getting a little sick of ID's constant array of indoor levels. Therefore I must pit my vote with U2 (not the band).

https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/...2002/02/10.gif C'mon people, what is the matter with all of you...? Trying to keep this thread alive until these 2 games actually come out???? https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/...2002/02/10.gif

I personally think Unreal 2 is going to rock for different reasons than doom3. The platform that unreal will run on will be less intensive. The target for the game according to legend will be around a 500mhz machine that has t&l support. I don't agree almost all of the time on the minimum specs so probably around a 700mhz machine will actually be needed. Doom3 on the other hand will run like a dog on current video cards. Meaning that it will probablly require an upgrade before you can actually play it like it was intended to be. Yes that means spending $400 on the top of the line video card once again. The one I'm waiting for right now is Duke forever. Meaning that it will be forever before it comes out.

Also remember Doom 3 is still a long ways away. Unreal 2, isn't it slated for a spring release? Doom 3, I would say MAYBE an xmas, but I am saying spring of 2003. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

Although I loved the Doom games... I'm looking forward to Unreal more. Unreal was absolutely amazing when it was released. To this day, I still perfer Original Unreal graphics to Quake 3. Unreal has to wide open beautiful environments, beautiful skies, smooth gameplay, etc. When I play Quake 3... I'm not sure why, but it feels like I'm controlling a 4 foot tall fat guy.

In any case, I'll buy and play through both. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif

TFC 2 baby! yeah!
wait a minute this is Doom vs unreal... well i dont really like the run in and blast everything type of gameplay


damn but when FFX for playstation 2 comes out.. my computer will probably be sitting idle for a looong time until i finish it.

I don't understand some of you guys! Why say it's bad when Doom 3 comes out you'll need to upgrade???!!??

OMG I only wish ALL games would go this far and demand for a faster system. If everyone did this we'd have games that would be 4x better than they are now. I for one am very happy what the guys at ID are doing.

This is why Doom 3 will kill Unreal 2, it's going to be far more advanced graphical game. I'm drooling just thinking about, guess I'll stop now. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif

Not really... faster hardware drives better looking games, not the other way around. I don't think releasing a game that can't run on today's specs is going to magically mean we all run athlon 5Ghzs

LMAO!!! That's a great description!

Try setting your /cg_fov to 125. Then it will feel like you're controlling a 4 foot skinny guy hyped up on crack with tunnel vision https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/08/2.gif

So far I've found the Unreal games to be a lot more fun than ID games.

I loved Quake II, but 3 sucked, and Unreal was better than even QII

As long as these are games, and not just engine tests like Q3 was, I'll buy both of them.

Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting. (Sun Tzu)

Doom 3, ID will reclaim their crown and destroy all oposition. Then Deus Ex 2 will come out and better Doom 3. Oh well I will get them all.

The inventiveness and creativity of Epic squashes ID like a juicy bug. ID have the technical know-how, god knows, we all know that. But I really think their games are uninspired and somewhat bland. Wipe DooM 1 and 2 off that list of course. But The quake series of games have been a little bland up to date. Very simple environments, flat floors, flat walls, no outside environments, not even any eyecatching views that disappeared after DooM. Anything good made with the quake engines has been made by other development companies. But, in their defence, they are the creators of new technology and their games are constantly compared to games years newer than their titles are, so they ARE going to be better.

How much did Q2 predate Unreal by?????

Legend made the Wheel of Time game using the Unreal engine as it was then (keeps getting better). WoT was a very good game, although NVIDIA based cards still struggled a little with the engine simply not being designed for them at all. I really hope that the U2 game FIXES this, I'm sick of it. But, WoT was very thoughtfully designed and good varying environments. Don't worry, Legend know the Ureal Engine backwards by now. Plus the water effects in Unreal are the best I have EVER seen in a game to date!

I personally think Doom3 will dominate in single player, however, in multiplayer I think ut2 will dominate.
