DooMBoy Posted September 16, 2002 If OpenGL and Direct3D had been available back in '93, and the id team had time to implement mouse-look and jumping, what kind of a game would Doom have turned out to be? As far as fun and stuff goes, how do you think it would have changed? 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted September 16, 2002 Not really fodders.. more like legacy or jdoom. DooMBoy, the answers you'll get are quite predictable, people who like those features will say "great" people who don't "quake." No point asking the obvious. 0 Share this post Link to post
mmnpsrsoskl Posted September 16, 2002 Well, if they did have those things, would they have made Quake? Probably not. If so, it'd probably be something along the lines of Quake2/3 technology...bleh. This topic is weird, you can't really predict what would have happened unless you have a time machine I could borrow. 0 Share this post Link to post
Vampirajay Posted September 17, 2002 maybe they might have mixed all the ports together? lighting effects from Jdoom, sloping sectors from Zdoom and to be honest I don't really know what legacy offers but maybe bits from that aswell, thinking about it, that would have been like Quake but with doom monsters! shit, oh well! 0 Share this post Link to post
NiGHTMARE Posted September 17, 2002 So the only differences between Doom and Quake are that in Doom you can't look up and down or jump? Err, right. Okay. 0 Share this post Link to post

DOOM-Pseudo real everything with toy gun pictures. Dark, spooky, cool. Quake-3D real everything with toy gun models. Dark, spooky, cant see a damn thing. Any questions? 0 Share this post Link to post
