Manc Posted February 25, 2005 Doom3maps.org (german site) has updated with an all new trailer for id software's upcoming expansion pack for Doom 3. It looks like there's a lot more to it than a couple of new monsters and some levels. Definitely worth a look (requires quicktime or compatible player). 0 Share this post Link to post
Amaster Posted February 25, 2005 Well, the gravity gun looks like it'll be cool. Seems you can actually grab enemies with it (at least the cherubs). I assume that floating heart thingy allows you to control time or whatever. SSG looks sweet. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted February 25, 2005 Finally, something to look forward to this year. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sporku Posted February 25, 2005 <insert 50 "Doom 3 sucks lolz" posts here> Seriously though, from the trailer, it looks like it's going to be great. Can't wait for it. The Super ShotGun looks awesome (as does everything else) 0 Share this post Link to post

NiGHTMARE Posted February 25, 2005 Heh, so someone finally included the old "slow down time to get past a fast moving obstacle" puzzle in an FPS. Certain other genres (especially consoles games) have been using that for years ;). 0 Share this post Link to post

Jehar Posted February 25, 2005 I think I heard in some interview that you will need to slow down time to even SEE certain demons. THAT is cool ... It looks like little ol id has made some updates to the game\engine. Look at his fingers. They dont look half burned off anymore. and is it me or is it a little brighter on mars than before? This trailer actualy made me excited about the grav gun... that never happened before. Is that even doomguy? if so... looks like hes getting a little tired of all this and is getting a little mad. How come the people who make these trailers always have the worst aim\reflexes? 0 Share this post Link to post
Dodge Posted February 25, 2005 Jehar said:Is that even doomguy? if so... looks like hes getting a little tired of all this and is getting a little mad. Have you been paying attention at all since the first news of it came out? You don't play the same guy, you play a combat engineer, and it takes place 2 years after DOOM 3, implying that the Doomguy would never want to return back. Now for my opinion of the trailer now that I've seen it. Simply put, I need no other screenshots or whatever to hype me up. Now that I've finally seen some actual moving footage of the expansion all I need now is to actually play it to enter total bliss. If you ask me, I think this expansion will focus less on the story and more on the action, unlike Doom 3 itself. That's good, it gives a balance to the gameplay where Doom 3 was lacking (not that I hated Doom 3...I loved it). And as pointed out, both the Super Shotgun and the heart artifacts just look awesome enough, and seeing them in action...*creams jeans*. You'll notice in the trailer when the player is actually using the artifact there's one big heart icon flashing on the status bar and two smaller ones right below it. I guess the big one tells you that you're using it and the smaller ones tell you how much of it's total power you've gained? 0 Share this post Link to post

I highly doubt Nerve made any changes to the graphics area of the engine. It's just different artwork. Although I have no idea what you mean by the fingers of the previous main character. How come the people who make these trailers always have the worst aim\reflexes? So you can actually see what's happening on the screen. And so you can see how "cool" (whether or not you actually think so) the enemy attacks look, and how it looks when they connect with the player. 0 Share this post Link to post
DaniJ Posted February 25, 2005 Wow. That looks sweet, O'm really looking forward to this. 0 Share this post Link to post

If you ever watched the old Pacman GAME OVER demos (the things that play on the screen when no one is actually playing) the person who controlled Pacman for the recording is a complete dumbass. He goes into monsters, avoids powerup pellets, and then doesnt eat the monsters when he's powered up. People watching that think "Dammit that guy sucks. How hard could it be? I mean come'on if I put in a quarter I could probably do a million times better!" *inserts quarter* It's an advertising trick. Atleast that's the way I've always seen it :P 0 Share this post Link to post

I'm glad an FPS is actually doing something reasonably innovative, even if it is something which has been used in other genres (platform games and RPGs both spring to mind) countless times ;). 0 Share this post Link to post
