Is there any more news on Doom 3? I've saw a few very tasty screenies and heard a wee bit but does anyone have any solid information on the game thats cost me £450 before i've played it?

I think they fucked up the Hell Knights, but the Spider Mastermind looks fucking awesome. I can't wait to see the Cyber-Demon.

The new imps look amazing too, as do the zombies. I'm hoping to see some Lost Souls at some point...

I've seen them, and they look like human heads with cybernetics attached to the backs of their heads.

If what the articles say is correct, and ID lives up to the expectations, many of us won't even get past the first few levels (out of 30 planned) simply out of sheer fright. :P

And I don't think the system specs are going to be as high as most think, since they use a lot of bump-mapping to make it look like all the things are high-polygon models.

If you have GeForce3 or higher, you can have per-pixel shading (the thing that gives individual lighting per pixel). If you have that, then you're set. 8)

Looks more like a poor man's Giger rip-off.

There is only one Giger. :P

Anyone who doesn't remember the original Doom... shouldn't be here, lest they raise my ire.

I remember it. Played it, too. Never understood what the fuss was all about though. Does that raise your ire? :)

Indeed, long live doom legacy. Itsa shame it doesn't work with heretic however.

Anyone who doesn't remember doom should have a sword drawn out on them in broad day light as the words " there can be only one " follows

Ehem, if I remember correctly, that's the Arachnotron, not Spider Mastermind. The one on the pic has a plasma gun, which is what the Arachnotron has.

Spider Mastermind has a chaingun. And is MUCH bigger.

I've played Doom, Doom 2, and have also made maps for them. I've also used DeHacked to create new monsters, edit weapons, and do weird stuff like allowing the player to fly and stuff.


That good enough for you? :P
