Lvangundy Posted March 17, 2004 A friend of mine had the Doom 3 playable beta and showed it to me. I debated with myself on whether or not I wanted to see it or not..but couldn't wait. One thing I noticed is that when he killed one of the big "pinky" demons, shooting at the body made it splatter blood and created puncture wounds, but shooting at the metal leg/frame of the monster made the same blood puncture mark. Little things like this bug me, and I think when others notice it, takes away from the game. Anyone know if things like this will be fixed or modified? 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted March 17, 2004 50-th hand rumor says that behavior is no longer present in more current builds. 0 Share this post Link to post
Janderson Posted March 17, 2004 Was that it? What if you use a rocket launcher? Does it blow holes in the body? Can you stop the mech legs from functioning? Any theories or rumors about this? 0 Share this post Link to post
DOOM Anomaly Posted March 17, 2004 Haha, you know it would be neato if like, you shot a demon with a rocket launcher and blew its leg off and it just looks at you surprised, then the wound, then you, then the wound and them faints. Haha, that would be funny. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Janderson Posted March 17, 2004 Heh, actually I was think more like you blow a pinky's behind off so it crawls towards you on its front, like Res.Evil zombies. Or blowing chunks out of an imp's body with a shotgun, or disintergrating a zombie with your machine gun. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted March 17, 2004 One of the things i first imagined being able to do, back when doom 3 was announced, was shooting off an imp's hand with the shotgun, and it would run away howling in pain..but if you did the same thing to a zombie it would keep shambling towards you and ignore the injury 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted March 18, 2004 And asking where you can download it can result in a ban, as well, iirc. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted March 18, 2004 Bullet wound decals and blood splats is all I've heard of. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scabbed Angel Posted March 18, 2004 Lord FlatHead said:Bullet wound decals and blood splats is all I've heard of. Yep, which can be seen legally in the E3 vid. If the pinkie's metal body bleeds, I really don't care though. I'm not so picky when it comes to small aspects of immersion. If the gore looked truly real, I think there are a lot of Doom fans who wouldn't play it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Intel17 Posted April 18, 2004 I think its the per pixel poly hit detection which is implimented in doom 3 that allows for bullet holes everywhere in the characters' bodys 0 Share this post Link to post
deathbringer Posted April 19, 2004 Bullet hole system of SoF 2 but better but not as gory 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted April 19, 2004 It's probably been asked already, but does anyone know if Doom III will be using some sort of GeoMod technology? 0 Share this post Link to post

Carmack made some answer regarding this a while back, along the lines of how it was currently too hard to control visual consistency with systems like this - stuff like making the textures of demolished walls align right and look congruent with the pre-damaged textures etc, 0 Share this post Link to post

Intel17 Posted April 25, 2004 My point was it isnt a big deal there isnt destructable geometry. Also do you know how hard it is to implement that? 0 Share this post Link to post
