The game play was the same. And I did enjoy it in a nostalgic way. But Painkiller and Serious Sam were more fun.

There were a ton of cheap scares in Doom 3, but c'mon, that Hell sequence was truly a beautiful thing to behold. Cheers to the duct tape by the way...in 4 you'll have to decide whether you want to breathe or reload your weapon; and you'll have to successfully complete a series of button commands while cacodemons lunch on your testes. bring it on

@Zazu_Yen: I hate to disagree with someone with an Orpheus avatar, but I will. The story in Doom 1 and 2 was limited to a screen of text every once in a while. Doom 3 had cutscenes, PDAs, NPCs, and screens in the game to watch things on. The general story is the same (space marine saves the world from monsters from hell), but the storytelling was much more engaging and fleshed out.

@CCCombobreaker: Well since you know so much, what games should we give a shit about?

Doom 3 still looks good when maxed out on todays hardware but i think the quake 3 engine was IDs best engine to date in terms of what it could do at the time it was released.

I really wish they don't call it Doom 4.

The id guys should make the gameplay faster than it was for Doom 3. The character in 3 just felt clumsy.

Less scripted sequences might also help. I think id was trying to follow in Half-Life's steps by using scripted scenarios in Doom 3, but there was too much of it.

Doom 3 was not very fun. Two things that bugged me....the graphics and the enemy spawns. It feels cheap when you turn a corner and watch some dude teleport through a bright orange thing. I'd take anything over the graphics power. Plastic looking things. I just had too many issues. I don't remember a worse final boss in recent memory. DOA4? It's a tie!

@expansionsss: Sounds like you weren't impressed with what they did with it, which was create drab and boring industrial settings. As apposed to their more typical drab and boring quasi-Gothic settings.

Not bump mapping, normal mapping. There is a big difference. If you played the game with the normal mapping switched off it look horrid. And once again, it's not how many polygons you have it's what you do with them that counts.

AAAaand with normal mapping, you don't need nearly as many polygons as you used to.

@Zazu_Yen:

you know, even at maxed out settings @ 1920x1200, with the tweaked ultra-high quality mods, the game still didn't look very good.

To me, Doom 3 was Quake 3 with bump mapping and better lighting. The poly count was VERY-low, and everything was dark+boring... Quake 4's tweaks helped, but even still, i'm not impressed by the engine.

When I think of Doom 3 all I remember are those darn imps. They were the first enemy you encountered, and from there on you meet them throughout the whole game; they climb out of ducts, they teleport behind you as soon as you've picked up an item, a wall opens - an imp jumps out.

Then you finally get to the final boss, and you still have to face those damn imps. T'was a slap in the face.

I'm definitely up for Doom. I'm one of these freakish people who loved Doom 3, my only complaint being that they didn't bring it to the PS3.

Yes, it didn't innovate and bring amazing new things to the first-person genre. But it was fanatically loyal to its source, and that's why I loved it. I loved that it still took two good shotgun blasts to take down a Pinky. Little mechanics like that, plus the wonderful atmosphere made it an instant classic for me.

Ugh I'd kill for a PS3 version.

Doom 3 was ridiculous, zombie cupboards and spawning things behind you, not being able to hold a gun and a torch...god that was stupid....

But for all that it was fun. The limitations made it more scary for me. I loved Doom 3, precisely because of it's half-baked whonky ridiculousness. It's like going to see a Hammer Horror film - blood and some jumpy scary bits, but nonsense overall and a good romp.

NateN — Wed, 07 May 2008 14:18:44 MDT

I liked Doom 3, but the monster closets were a bit much and instantly spawning monsters behind you kind of got old. The "No ducttape or zipties on Mars" problem was kind of silly as well. I understand that guns don't normally come with flashlights attached, but I think just about anyone in a situation where they have to pick between being able to SEE what is trying to kill you and being able to SHOOT AT what is trying to kill you would work on fixing that problem kind of quickly.

Nitpick: Having to go online to get that door code kind of sucked, nothing like saving, quitting, going to [www.martianbuddy.com], writing down the code because years of video games have given you an attention span of 30 seconds, starting the game, loading and typing in the code!

(If my computer at the time wasn't having a hard time running Doom 3 as is, I wouldn't have minded. But it was! :-P)

Zazu_Yen — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:43:46 MDT

So id is starting on their next tech demo, cool.

Doom 3 was the most technically advanced remake of early 90's run-n-gun gameplay ever made. It's shouldn't have surprised anyone, they SAID they were making a spiritual successor to DOOMs gameplay and that's exactly what they did. It's just that no one expected them to completely ignore all the other advances in gameplay that have happened since then, which they did.

The Painkiller and Serious Sam games did it better, if not as sexily.

It's a beautiful engine though, I spent a notable amount of time in the game just watching how dynamic shadows could play across their normal mapped curved surfaces and moving geometry. The most stunning real-time re-creation of claustrophobic industrial spaces ever. Too bad it's not so good at anything else.

I'm looking forward to this, those guys can create some stunning eye-candy.

I enjoyed Doom3, sure it got pretty predictable after awhile with spawns/doors opening behind you but it was still fun.

"DOOM is part of the id Software DNA "

i hate the term DNA in marketing speak. if i hear it again i'll shoot someone. preferably marketing guys.

Hopefully they can make the game more interesting. When Doom 3 was released it looked great but thats pretty much it. It didn't really excite me. I can't say i'm really looking forward to a new one either.

My only experience with Doom 3 was with the Classic Doom Episode 1 mod. That thing was comedic gold.

Maybe the main hero will remember to bring a long his Torch flashlight this time, or maybe he'll shop at Hammacher Schlemmer, and buy the six mile flash light ( [www.hammacher.com] )instead of the dinky piece of shit he used in the last game..

Awesome! I was hoping that they would do a Doom 4. Despite what the common opinion was, I absolutely loved Doom 3.....Can't wait.

Woohoo for Doom! I can't say I was the biggest fan of Doom 3, but I love the Doom series tremendously. That makes me happy to hear.

Blah. Who knows when this will come out.

Hopefully they will take a note from Doom 3 complaints... and make the game more interesting. I was bored by level 3 after going through the same looking corridors over and over.

It didn't get interesting till the end when you go into hell and the caverns and fight all those monsters.
