Naked Snake Posted July 15, 2002 Half Life sucks it. I sure as fuck hope not. Demons shouldn't be able to talk. 0 Share this post Link to post
Livo Posted July 15, 2002 I think he meant snarls, growls etc. Well, hearing some demon spirits talk in a garbled, distorted voices (like that early on in the illegal gameplay video), with random sounds like laughter and people crying would help create a sense of dread and despair. 0 Share this post Link to post

999cop Posted July 15, 2002 Oh yeah, I also meant like the scientists and victims and such...etc. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted July 15, 2002 Scientists and guards are chatty bitches in the cutscenes we've seen. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tetzlaff Posted July 15, 2002 It would be cool to have a small "talk" menu to interact with the friendly characters, a bit like in a adventure game, but more basic and not too complex :) 0 Share this post Link to post

gatewatcher Posted July 15, 2002 heh, engagement rules of doom3: 1. if a demon politely asks if he can eat you for dinner, immediately shoot him. 0 Share this post Link to post
Dark-tenshi Posted July 15, 2002 1. if a demon politely asks if he can eat you for dinner.... I will uninstall the game and notify id software later that i don`t want monster this intelligent 0 Share this post Link to post
Dubh Posted July 15, 2002 In the scene shown at E3 you hear the big guy with the whip saying "I smell fear..." 0 Share this post Link to post
Dark-tenshi Posted July 15, 2002 Speaking zombie is welcome = ) my former post was supposed to be j/k talkative zombie? I only hope it won`t talk too much unless it is zombie NPC.it might help in story-telling. Arch-vile should be made as intelligent monster thant we can hear him "speak" in understandable langauge.He may use his telepathy to contact with player.(just an idea) 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted July 17, 2002 The Hell Knight seems to talk quite a bit. 0 Share this post Link to post
GS-1719 Posted July 17, 2002 I'd prefer monsters from Hell not to speak English except the Archvile perhaps (as he is supposed to be intelligent), who could possibly torment you doing this. 0 Share this post Link to post
Reisal Posted July 17, 2002 Half-Life doesn't suck, period :P I wouldn't mind garbled english for the former humans and a series of screams and such for the demons 0 Share this post Link to post

Funny thought, but you´re right. What is a "gloomy" language the more sublime demons could speak? Latin maybe? :) 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't think the arch-vile should speak English either. It doesn't make sence at all. Well. Maybe if it could say single words like..kill....you and the likes :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Tetzlaff Posted July 18, 2002 Yeah, Latin backwards should be pretty creepy :D And it could be also some kind of easteregg, for people who are curious enough to extract the sound files, re-reverse the sounds in an audio programm and translate what they are saying ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
LordTrasher Posted July 22, 2002 Like the latin speak in ROTT. One of the lines is "EAT YOUR VEGGIES" 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted July 22, 2002 LordTrasher said:Like the latin speak in ROTT. One of the lines is "EAT YOUR VEGGIES" This would actually make for an interesting Doom and Doom2 sound mod. I dont think they should do anything more than grunt and screech. Also, unless done exceptionally well, hearing the Arch-vile speak in an understandable language would be laughable at best. However, making him speak in some eerie jibberish could be pretty cool. 0 Share this post Link to post

But he'll grunt and make other such sounds (like the "huh?" grunt he made at the start of the E3 presentation before the video went to gameplay). 0 Share this post Link to post

999cop Posted August 4, 2002 He has at least said "watch it" in the leaked video. 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted August 5, 2002 they had some demons talking in the books and i thought it was a dumb idea. these things ain't interested in talking. not having the doomguy speak would also be a good move. it always sucks when the main characters says stupid one liners or cheesy shit. it ruins the feel associated with the game. they brought this up in the official Doom survivor's guide, released for doom1 when interviewing john romero (i stole the book from my firend hehe). this book also has some weird old Quake conceptions too :/ 0 Share this post Link to post

Doom guys: "watch it" Scientist: "excuse me.." Besides, if the zombie guy who holds minigun/chaingun was able to speak in the leaked video: "I smell fear", I don't see why not Doom can speak. 0 Share this post Link to post
gatewatcher Posted August 5, 2002 oh, but still the doom guys never speaks in that video. neither one of those two marines is the doom guy. 0 Share this post Link to post
