Alpha vs Comercial

[Vegeta]

Wich atmosphere/maps are better, the ones of the alpha or the comercial ones?

Also, is there so much diference from the alpha and the final product as in DOOM 1?

[Technician]

Theres nothing really different from the two, but I liked the sounds better in the alpha.

[SyntherAugustus]

uh.. more than half of this whole place hasn't even played the alpha.

[AirRaid]

I think the maps in the final game are more atmospheric, but the one scene with the pinky coming through the wall will forever hold a place in my heart.

[Technician]

The alpha was almost like a funhouse. things triggered to pop out.

I'd have to say I liked the final better. The alpha, because it was an alpha, was very sloppy and not well done. I mean, I could sneak up on zombies and shoot the back of their head open and then 2 seconds later they'd get right back up. The models weren't impressive because they lacked detail and color (once again, it's an alpha) and the cinematics weren't very sharp.

I have to agree with AirRaid though, that Pinky Demon scene was very cool.

[Technician]

Yah the number of zombies that were scripted to take in 15 shots got bother some.

[Endureth]

I obviously like the final batter because, well, it's final. But I miss the zombies that got back up. That should have been in the final game. Gibbing was a little overdone.

The final was better because it was legal, not laggy, and it was the full game.

I really wish people would just stop talking about that alpha. Damn, it's old news.

[S1lent]

I just play it to see what was changed. Thats about it. Besides, I bought Doom 3 so I think I'm entitled to a copy so long as I don't distribute it.
