Wow that might mean that people who speedmap for it can actually put something decent out... maybe. 

mapping for d3 is sounding more and more appealing.

too bad hordes are out of the question... ;) 

...sprites?

:P 

A BFG 1G?




>.< 

What? Doom 3 is already out? I just got started on doom 2 ... hmm 

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. 

The Doom & Doom 2 Scenes are still huge with well done custom maps coming out on a regular basis.

DoomWorld.com 

(*shock*), since D3 will probably be the biggest subject for at least the next few months (and of course the mapping and such for much longer). And has anyone seen the G4 clip yet? It gets a lot more up close and personal with the arch-vile and some of the other baddies -- and the co-host at the end of the clip cracks me up. 

Head over to the http://www.doom3.com site and head to the Media section, if you wanna hear a *very* shory clip of the Doom III theme. 

done by Tool BTW 

JUst found a link..

'done by Tool BTW'

That is one HUGE BTW 

rocks...this intro is gonna be as famous as the first one :) 

Certainly, just go here to sign up:

:P

Oh come on, even I have a better PC than that (bar the gfx card).

And quite frankly, I fail to see what the big deal is... (OK, I'm lying, I've been working on my D3 episode ever since the leak came out) 

It did sound like them, but I didn't know if they got Tool to do it or not. Awestome =D 

Doom3 music should be dark and evil, not some stupid guitar riff crap.. (imo)

Totally does not fit the mood of the game... :( 

that's exactly the point I was trying to get across in GA.

Way to kill the atmosphere, guys! 

some 'stupid guitar riff crap'?

The rest of the music was themed though. 

er... that song is the intro music, which is well and good to be hard rocking. And from all I've read, Tool was only doing one track for doom3. I'd assume the rest is moody stuff.

and really, it fits with how all of id's previous 'real' games were in regards to soundtrack. Quake had 1 hard rock track, and the rest were atmosphere. Listening to original Doom music, most sounds like midi guitar riffs, but most are very atmospheric none the less. Take a listen: http://doomdepot.doom2.net/music/ 

The sample thats on the site you'll probably only hear when you first launch the game or are in the menu or something.

(I like it.) 

Load some DooM MIDI's into my keyboard.. might turn out awesomer. 

Someone at a NIN message board says:

"That Doom3 Theme is actually by Chris and Clint from Tweaker. Interesting..."

Now I'm confused.. because I heard reports of Vrenna doing something, but I heard Tool at one point doing something... fuck the internet. 

The Id staff is basically contrived of MetalHeads with a nod to Industrial (Helmet!), hence the themes associated with Id games. So it is not even possible for it to be 'out of theme' with the game. 

Bah. Well, it does sound cool -- but I agree with DaZ on the point that the actual game soundtrack should be a bit less in-your-face as a guitar theme would be -- which I'm sure it won't be. What'd really be cool is some Jerry Goldsmith or Ennio Morricone-esque synth-tinged stuff, but that'd be hoping for too much. Still, you never know...; 

Nobody knows who did the theme bit there. Nothing's been officially said yet. Most people say Tool becuase of how much it sounds like them from their last album.
