Spider Mastermind

[FlexGalaxy]

Ok....I was wondering if anyone knew about if there is a Spider Mastermind in the game, because i kept seeing pics of it online and it looked badass. But i beat the game and i did not encounter it. I just think its a little odd.

Whatever you were seeing was not the sm. There isn't one in the game.

im pretty sure thats the SM

[Epyo]

Actually, that looks like the back of the vagary. Except for the chaingun.

[alexz721]

It's just concept art. It's not in the game.

[FlexGalaxy]

Ya i realized that mustve been why it isnt in the game. As you can see in Todd's interview at doom3.com, it is the SM, but it wasn't used in he game. I don't understand why, because the SM is the final boss in the orignal DooM game. O well.

[S1lent]

Someone sent me a flame e-mail (someone from this forum, I think their name was sherryl or something like that) because I said I would have liked to see the Arachnotron or the Spider Mastermind in D3. Oh well.

[Jomero]

Dunno why you'd be flamed for that. Some demons are obviously bionic (like pinky) and there are obviously lots of spider-ish demons. An arachnotron or SM would make sense.

But I am glad SM was not in the game, because if he was he probably would have been the final boss. And he just wouldn't have fit with the tone of the game. But him as a near-final boss would have worked, as long as he wasn't REALLY the one who "masterminded" the whole thing. I like uh.... (this is the non spoiler forum, right) the uh.... other "thing" better (and I am not talking about the last boss you fight, but the last "thing" you see in the cutscene).

Point is i wouldve like to have seen the spider mastermind in the interact in the DooM3 world.

just like alexz721 said its nothing but art..

sure they got rid of the SM, but think of all the cool new things they added, people only seem to be focused on whats not in the game instead of what is in the game

I dunno, it would have been cool to see it pop up after the Cyber demon or even before it.

If I had the skills I would animate a spider mastermind in there. Hopefully if they creat an expansion they add in the mastermind, new SP hell levels, new deathmatch levels as well as new mp modes, etc.

[Grazza]

This is not "Spoiler Free". Moved.

[knives_millions]

Yeah would be cool if it was in the game.

In the origonal it was the hardest of all enemys because you couldent dodge the bullets.

Cyberdemons on the otherhand never killed me because the couldent hit me once.

Overall they should of had the SM in the game as well as the arachnatrons.

Also what a about Nightmare imps from DooM 64 I thought those were a clever idea. I mean whats worse then fighting something barely visible?

[Llamatron99]

I am hoping that there will be an expansion pack for doom3.

Although its unlikely, it would be cool if the spidermastermind and the arachnotron were in it.

[incubusspawn]

I think an xpak is very likley and the SM double shotgun and water will all be in it :D Gotta do earth after all. If not an xpack then doom 4 but I would prefer an xpack to enhance the doom3 we have.

Well, it's already been announced that there will be no more going back on old game ideas so I think a Doom 4 isn't likely. :D

When I saw the art of the Spider Mastermind years ago I was dying to see it in action. :D

[SupremeGeneral]

Theres always mods and doomer-made-maps!

[Deathmatcher]

good mods are one thing but we would love to see an official SM/Arachnotron in an official addon, wouldn´t we? id is doing a completely new game next, they´ve already started it. So maybe they will hire another start up company to do the xpansion pack, just like they did with Q1/Q2.

-Nobody seems to miss the Pain Elemental, btw :D

[FlexGalaxy]

never heard of the cacodemon's brother in awhile. yes the pain elemental is another one of my favs. wonder hwat he wouldve looked like in the new doom world?

[Jordan]

I didnt mind the Pain Elemental, but too many of them got me so angry and annoyed.. but i loved it when the one in the level The Pit (doom 2, the one in the hallway.. ya.. take a guess then) would not be able to shoot anything, i would let him follow on my quest, he was my pet

They say that while quake four and return to castle wolfenstien 2 are both in production, don't hold your breath.

Was this a bug? Can you expand aa little bit more on this one please?

[DOOM Anomaly]

If I am not mistaken, when the Lost Soul limit is reached, Pain Elementals cannot fire any more until Lost Souls are killed to give space for more.

[FlexGalaxy]

Never noticed that....
