Deathmatcher Posted May 5, 2004 that id is not only returning to a ten year old game scenario with Doom3? In fact, they will return to something fairly older: Doom3 will be the first id game to actually take place on Mars since "Keen1: Marooned on Mars". This one turns 14 this year! What are 10 years of waiting for the return of the doom scenario, compared to 14 years of waiting for the return of Mars! Ever thought about it? 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted May 6, 2004 I think it's too insignificant an aspect to go "holy shit, Id is returning to its Commander Keen roots!" There are lots of games out there that involve Mars or even take place on it I'm sure. Did you notice that in the original Doom, the UAC main base was located on Mars? 0 Share this post Link to post

This endless waiting for Doom3 makes us all crazy, doesn't it? dsm said:There are lots of games out there that involve Mars or even take place on it I'm sure. Well, but Keen1 and Doom3 are the ONLY id games that take place there. dsm said:Did you notice that in the original Doom, the UAC main base was located on Mars? Excuse me, but acording to my humble knowledge, this is simply wrong: Doom1 took place on the moons of mars: phobos and deimos. (and some otherworldly place for the 3rd episode) 0 Share this post Link to post

He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Habour while you were transferred to Mars - home of the Union Aerospace Corporation. 0 Share this post Link to post

Well, that doesn't change anything about the fact: Keen1 and Doom3 are the only games...this is getting boring.

I mean, really, this subject matter is so ridiculous. OMG, 2nd id game on mars!!! Whoa, mind blowing... Tell me now, how is this fact relevant in any way to Doom3? 0 Share this post Link to post
Deathmatcher Posted May 6, 2004 Oh my god, what is all this fuss about? I just stated a litte "funny" fact. I mean, everyone is talking about id, returning to their "original game" and I made a comment about the return of the "Keen1 planet". Result: Flaming. I don't understand this. 0 Share this post Link to post

Sephiroth Posted May 8, 2004 honeslty a keen remake would be cool example Duke Nukem: manhatten project. a deffinantly under rated game. it goes back to the side scrolling style of the first 2 duke games. however uses a 3d graphics engine to do it. the game was very well done for an amature company (3d realms didnt make it) in fact its quality was very high, better product than many larger game companies. few bugs or wierd effects. 0 Share this post Link to post

Yes, I own Manhattan Project (and I usually only buy games if I'm 99% sure I will love the full version) and I think it's such an awesome game. A Commander Keen remake/retelling would be sweet, but I'm pretty sure it won't be done by Id since kids' games isn't really down Id's alley anymore. Such a re-creation would have to remain a kids' game. Btw, I didn't really dig Keen's new appearance in that 'new' Keen game for the gameboy advance. 0 Share this post Link to post
