I have to agree with pushplay; the level design doesn't look very interesting. Plus all the characters seem to have the same animations, although that may be because it's shot from the beta. Gameplay doesn't look particularly interesting either, but videos usually don't capture the essence of the gameplay very well.

I quite like the cartoon style of that and similar games, but that's not enough to get me to look past the other problems the game seems to have. 

do we get a night w/ cardo? 

Von's doing the design, that's cool. I'd of offered elsewise. But Von will do skimpy-good-looking site and thats better. 

von does general design, Phait does logos and submission moves, or something 

...because we all know team efforts get things done a lot quicker and more efficiently... 

Sorry, I don't do under-the-desk work.

Now if you meant submission movies a'la gameplay demos recorded... erm. Me? 

really? Well maybe it would have been a good idea to tell me? :D

I have a file with all the shit I would like, whats Goms e-mail address?

If your pulling my leg then I delete tnj right now =) 

then why didnt you join my mod team? it's got 150+ weapons 

 

And I quote from Todd H's .plan...


IT'S DONE!!!!!!!

Yes, this is the official word that DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing! It won't be long now until the anticipation ends and the PH34R begins ;-) We literally just hung up with Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally GOLD. Thanks to everyone for their patience (yeah right! =) and for everyone at id, Activision and our numerous partners for helping us create what I believe is absolutely the best game we have ever made.

So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with your local retailer for that information.

Internationally, the game will take a few more days to make it to the store shelves. The UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (que Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland). This isn't because we don't have love for you folks outside the U.S., but the localization and manufacturing process takes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built. I guess the European manufacturers prefer to give their employees nights and weekends off. Go figure!

The champagne is flowing here at id and smiles abound!

I'll update again with some DOOM 3 preparation tips (not what hardware to buy - you'll have to wait for a programmer for that sort of thing). In the meantime, I want to see those "DOOM 3 GOLD!!!" threads set new records for swamping message board servers, destroying productivity, and post counts ;-)

Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!!


This isn't being submitted as news Scampie, so chill. It's just exciting stuff! 

I've seen a DoomIII demo presented in a DVD that micromania sent me last week. The DVD is a presentation of many brand new games presented to the Holywood E3 forum (last 12-14 may)... So it seems that Doom III will be very dark, and very terrific, like an horror film, with many thrills and suspense... all is based on the ambiance !!! While looking the demo, it remind me "Alien - the 8th passenger"... with much more monsters !! .. and yes, the game will be released in august of this year !!! Don't miss it, it will be great...

BTW, HalfLife 2 and Halo 2 seems also to be very cool as well... 

Halo 2 e3 vid looked like a joke compared to other AAA titles vids

Is double post due to Parkinson sick or abusive drink of Vodka ?? It seems to be your favourite drink isn't it ?? 

... The DVD presented a real demo of Halo 2 in its different modes (DM, CTF, SP, etc..), and it was a real gameplay, with a real player, a real X-Box console, and so, it was a real video I've seen... And IMHO, it was really good compared to first Halo (more weapons possibilities, more gameplay, etc..), and sure the game will be very good when released... 

The house move started four hours early (that's when the movers arrived - 8am - we were only just getting up - dammit!), we're still unpacking and sorting out our crap, and the phone connection still hasn't been worked out. Gleetings from uni.

When I get the time over the weekend, I'll busy myself with Bookshelf mapping and Arcane coding for Quake, and practicing UnrealEd for a starter project I have in mind which could offer good pickings for SP, Assault, Domination and CTF.

Anyway, there's this siren song wafting from Eastside, so I'll drink^H^H^Hown it out now. Tuesday, y'all. 

i'll be back in a week, off for another short holiday :)
bye

huge map pack released over at http://unrealsp.org

Seems to be v2 of the one released ages ago but judging from playing the first leevl alone, it's much much better. Quite impressive so far. 

When people start playing this game, can you please set up a seperate thread to discuss it in depth.

This is because I, amongst many other people, probably won't be playing it for a while, and we don't really want to see loads of opinions, information, spoilers, etc etc before we get a chance to play it. I'd prefer it if the GA thread was kept clear of D3 discussion, thanks. 

Sham brings up a good point. Even for those of us who get it the day it ships, it would be nice to keep the Doom discussion away from the GA thread as not to ruin our experience.
