S1lent Posted May 8, 2004 How do you tell the difference? I don't think I've ever seen an alpha pic. Is there any distinctive way to tell the difference? I just don't want to accidentally post an alpha pic on these forums. Can someone help me out? 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted May 8, 2004 Um, if you haven't seen it anywhere else before, then it's probably an alpha pic. Granted, you may not have seen the E3 trailer, or all of the officially released screenshots, but most people have. Check the Doom 3 screenshots here at Doomworld, for starters, and if you don't see it there, then generally, that means that it may not be official. 0 Share this post Link to post
S1lent Posted May 8, 2004 So there is no distinctive way to tell unless I've memorized all of the frames and screenshots of the trailer? There's no visual changes or anything? 0 Share this post Link to post
Scabbed Angel Posted May 8, 2004 If you wonder at all, then its prabably not in your best interest to post it. Kind of like this thread. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted May 8, 2004 Most alpha shots are of poor quality - the models don't look remotely cinematic, the shadows are pitch black, the textures look cartoonish and if you see a shot where you the pistol is shown and the pistol looks different than the one in this shot, consider it an alpha shot by default. 0 Share this post Link to post
S1lent Posted May 8, 2004 Thank you DSM. And Scabbed Angel, loose the attitude. I think posting a question concerning a forum rule is a completely legitament thread. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted May 8, 2004 most alpha shots look like piss. personaly o dont go around looking at screens as much. i have never seen any doom3 video other than the one that came out when the nvidia geforce III came out 0 Share this post Link to post
S1lent Posted May 9, 2004 I think I've seen the official trailer, a few other "mini-trailers" which were about 20 seconds long. And then I've seen teh editor commentaries and documentaries on Doom 3. I have a bad habbit of looking up screenshots for new games that I can't wait to come out. (ie: DOOM 3, Half-Life 2, & Halo 2) 0 Share this post Link to post
