I don't pre-order many games, but I just plonked down for Doom 3 at www.play.com , £27.99 delivered and due for release on 13/08/2004... http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=stcs1&page=title&r=PC&title=103442 Lo-res movies to whet your appetites for destruction is here: http://doom3.planet-multiplayer.de/download.php?view.42 And the same movie in hi-res here: http://www.gamershell.com/news/14197.html ----- Anders "Roshin" Simonsson 'R.E.M. sucks so hard they bend light.' - Spyder (AGHL). > I don't pre-order many games, but I just plonked down for Doom 3 at > www.play.com , £27.99 delivered and due for release on 13/08/2004... or £26.99 with free delivery from gameplay.co.uk :-) > http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=stcs1&page=title&r=PC&title=103442 > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > And the same movie in hi-res here: > http://www.gamershell.com/news/14197.html Looks pretty nice :) I just wanna echo what the guy said at the end of the hires trailer.. "PLEASE don't let this game suck!" ... meaning that I hope the SP mode isn't like the tediously dull shoot, run, kill from Doom1 & 2 and Quake1 & 2,  SignatureBen Cottrell AKA Bench Disclaimer: This post may contain explicit depictions of things which are "real".

They got progressively more story driven...well, a LITTLE more story driven by the time ya get to Q2! I saw the leaked alpha. It was enough to see it WILL be a shootfest....but not like anything we've ever seen before :) You'll have to play smarter. Can't kill everything, so don't try it. You ARE alone amongst a world of monsters. Make the best of it :) There will be far more interacting with the technology. You'll have to explore and think to survive. I can't wait for it to finally get here so I can buy it!!!!! McG. > -- > Ben Cottrell AKA Bench [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > sarcastic, don't take it seriously.

All I want is it to be like Serious Sam, except darker and possibly with better graphics (although it's not an absolute requirement) Civilian_Target > >>meaning that I hope the SP mode isn't like the tediously dull shoot, > >>run, kill from Doom1 & 2 and Quake1 & 2, > > But, but, but, Serious Sam did shoot-run-kill sooo well. All I want is > it to be like Serious Sam, except darker and possibly with better > graphics (although it's not an absolute requirement) I think it's going to be completely un-Serious Sam-like... from the look of the various videos, Doom3 concentrates on very scary situations, tension and then battle with big, tough, lone creatures (not all the time, obviously, but that seems to be the aim - think Alien rather than Aliens). SS1 and SS2 had many, many enemies in each encounter, which were normally clearly lit, with the only suspense being *How* many??!!? Still, it's £24.99 including delivery from Gameloaded.co.uk, so I guess it's a go... :D ___ Neil AKA HighVis "You woke up this morning, you got yourself a really, really big gun" > ... > or ?26.99 with free delivery from gameplay.co.uk :-) Or ?27.99 with 1st class delivery from gameplay.co.uk (and you'll get the game before anybody else in the UK) :-) -- Grumps > And the same movie in hi-res here: > http://www.gamershell.com/news/14197.html Do you think they'll bother to colour it in before they release it? -- Paul >> And the same movie in hi-res here: >> http://www.gamershell.com/news/14197.html [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > -- > Paul I'm downloading it now... But from the alpha, the colour is darker, muted....understated in most areas, if you will indulge my observation. Lends to the spookiness well I think :) McG. <ooh, got the file already!> >> And the same movie in hi-res here: >> http://www.gamershell.com/news/14197.html [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > -- > Paul Paul, did you set your display to monochrome or something? ;) Looks good! :) McG. > > Do you think they'll bother to colour it in before they release it? > > Paul, did you set your display to monochrome or something? ;) > > Looks good! :) Well, to me, most of the walls and all of the monsters look silvery grey. Only the lighting and the weapon effects have any real colour to them. The modelling is incredibly detailed, of course, and perhaps the colour scheme is chosen to emphasise the shadow effects on the musculature. Or maybe the look has been designed on a psychological level, subliminally eroding our feelings of wellbeing and replacing them with despair and hopelessness (works for me). When we first saw these models a few years back, I always assumed they were going to add a bit more colour later. Obviously Doom Ashen is the new Quake Brown :) -- Paul Paul Catley proclaimed... > Well, to me, most of the walls and all of the monsters look silvery grey.

Obviously Doom Ashen is the new Quake Brown :) Maybe you've begun the walk upon the road of a new term Paul. Graphic fashion? >>> Do you think they'll bother to colour it in before they release it? >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > -- > Paul The movie didn't show some of the areas the alpha had. Not all areas are dimly lit, nor doom ashen, nor quake brown. Likely most are though. McG. |
