    Well

    It sucks compared to games like FarCry, really - there's nothing new in it

    I agree completely with VBNeo and I was even going to compare it to farcry

    Its ok but its nothing new. They fell for the 'Graphics is everything' ploy

    Still worth a look because it is very impressive

    I personally like the Farcry graphics system much more, and I even find FarCry to be a bit more scary, whereas doom seems like a bad horrer movie, with a weird weird engine

    I think you'll find it should be "Graphics are everything", grammatically speaking. You ignorant mutt

    This is all totally academic anyway. Halo 2 is gonna completely
    PWN
    Doom 3.

    Big time. With a vengeance. I already ordered a copy of H2 so I'll let you know how much better it will be.

    I thought it was great.

    Since I'm not anywhere near the best at these type of games (having only bearly completing Hitman Contracts and being the cannon fodder in counterstrike) I still find it scary (chunks of wall falling off).

    My comp couldn't cope very well.. and I have yet to try the level editor.

    I didn't get a chance to try Far cry :/ I have read people were having problems with patches tho??

    Back to Doom 3 - linear like the first ones and scary (lights low or off, volume up, weird noise on the other side of the room making you jump. The Graphics are wonderful, and as the games progress I think they'll be better.

    Just need HL2 to arrive so we can get counterstriking on that

    The good thing about XBox is that you don't have to let your coffee go cold waiting for a PC to boot up, switch on and 15 seconds later you are slaying baddies left, right and centre.

    In Jet Set Willy you dont slay the beasts. You walk around slowly hunting for keys, pineapples and other assorted fruits.

    Vastly Superior I am certain you will agree.

    Hehe, got Doom3 today . I have the setting turned to Ultra and its running fine at 1024x768 .

    I just shat myself when the guy lying dead over the edge of a ledge falls off as you walk past him to pick up the armour on the ground......since that point I've been too scared to play it properly . Alot better than i was expecting I should say .

    It's said to go gold september this year, don't believe it though...

    And yeah Bodwad, I just dumped doom and started playing FarCry through again, 1280*960 with everything on high and 8x Anti Aliasing - that kicks ass

    The same occured with Quake 3 it had a massive hype but was pants to play.

    Doom 3 is too predictable to be a suspense game and they ruined it by trying to make a full action suspense game. AvP worked better because you didnt know when they were going to attack.


    Maybe we have become too experianced at gaming and thus need a different challenge from the 'Highly predictable' big games of today.



    Anyone ever play Clive Barkers Undying? That was really good but never really seemed to take off

    Yeah. Clive Barkers Undying was great, one of thoose 'forgotten' games... And it was scary when it came out to... not like doom3

    was undying the FPS where you could use magic and guns at the same time, and you could get a really big scythe?

    What was that game called...the one where you attack giant vampire rabbits armed only with a copy of the Financial Times and a SpongeBob on a stick?

    Wait...no I may have dreamt that.
