Linguica Posted February 12, 2004 The core game will be the same, of course, but the game will be tuned to be more console-friendly, so to speak. This means that where the enemies appear, how many of them there are, and such will be adjusted.What the FUCK does this mean? 0 Share this post Link to post

TH-555 Posted February 12, 2004 you ever tried beating an FPS with a controler and no autoaim? its not as easy as it sounds, unless you are 1337 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted February 12, 2004 The core game will be the same, of course, but the game will be tuned to be more console-friendly, so to speak. This means that where the enemies appear, how many of them there are, and such will be adjusted. According to Saulnier, you're successful in doing such a thing if players don't realize that anything has even been changed.Isn't this mutually exclusive?One of the cool aspects about the PC version of Doom 3, though, is that player models no longer have a generous hit box around them. That means you actually have to hit the character's polygons to score damage. Why the change? Because, according to id CEO Todd Hollinshead, as players' skill increases, the targets must become smaller to compensate.I like the sound of that. 0 Share this post Link to post

Disorder Posted February 12, 2004 Doom 3 still doesn't have an official release date, but we expect the title to surface sometime in the second half of the year.Hopefully, this is not true. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted February 12, 2004 Prime said:Oh, come on. It'll be more challenging that way... Much better way to make the enemies challenging rather than heap a ridiculously large amount of hitpoints on them or make them totally oblivious to taking hits from a bullet weapon as we see in oh-so-many modern FPSs. I assume we're talking about the single player part here. 0 Share this post Link to post
DaJuice Posted February 12, 2004 My aim and reflexes have been honed by years of playing Counter-Strike. I could take out a zombie's left nut from a 100 feet away, I don't need no stinkin' auto-aim:D 0 Share this post Link to post

Counter-Strike has always had (and always will have) the worst hitboxes in the history of online FPS gaming. Hit anything without a 3 foot radius of the head on the actual model and you get a headshot, for example. 0 Share this post Link to post
DaJuice Posted February 12, 2004 Hehe I don't believe that's actually true, it's just that the spray of bullets is randomized when you go full auto, so there's a chance of getting a headshot even if your cross-hair isn't exactly aiming at the head. I mean, when you try to shoot an afk you do need to aim exactly at the noggin to get a headshot. 0 Share this post Link to post

The pacing will just be better and more suited to console gaming Doesn't sound like it to me. They're doing it for the benefit of gameplay on the console. 0 Share this post Link to post

Caco-Puff Posted February 13, 2004 Has anyone noticed that parts of the Revenant seem to be transparant? Perhaps it's in mid teleportation or it's becoming a spectre some how. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted February 13, 2004 That's the intended effect. It's now less just a skeleton and more spirit-like. 0 Share this post Link to post
Caco-Puff Posted February 13, 2004 Hmm then shouldnt the head be transparant too? Also in the top left we see some sort of portal to hell or something,Quite creepy. 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't think it's supposed to be anything in particular - it was left on because it was cool looking. Of course, the fans can always think up what it could be :-) 0 Share this post Link to post

You said, "yeah, hopefully I'll get doom3 at least a little before halo2 comes out". Imo, there's little to no chance that D3 will be released before Halo2. At least that's the way I understood it. 0 Share this post Link to post
TH-555 Posted February 13, 2004 doom3=second half of 2004, halo2=fall 2004 too close for comfort. i hope they spread it out. d3 in august perhaps? or by xmas? this is annoying 0 Share this post Link to post
