Doom III Collector's Edition

[Alboroto]

I was thinking about a Collector's Edition Doom III.
Any ideas of what it should have?

-A metal box qith blood stains and bullet marks containing "experimental material" from UAC

-A BIG manual incluing weapon analisys, theorycal data, the story of what happened at the station and so.

-A full Doom comic by Todd McFarlane, not cheesy stories, just Doom.

-A random collector's toy monster.

-A poster of the Cyberdemon tearing a Marine apart. (Or something like that)

------ANY IDEAS????------

[doomsick]

sounds good to me. ship 'em!

[GS-1719]

Sounds good - especially the metal box and poster. Spelling needs to be improved though.

[Little Faith]

It should include a pink demon plush teddy to nuzzle at night.


And just a bit of advice: It's theoretical, not theorycal.

[gatewatcher]

where can i find a doom poster anyway? i have the one that came with the ultimate doom, but i want a new one.

Sorry, I saw lots of errors in my spelling!

I know, that's why I take your spelling mistakes (and some of the others' spelling mistakes) lightly.

Hmm, include a figurine of the new Cyberdemon and one of the marine.

[DiSTuRBeD]

A random figure of one of the characters\monsters would be helluva cool, even tho i'd buy a new box every month when the paycheck comes in ;)

[EVIL]

-A random collector's toy monster.

I want the HellKnight, or the fat zombie :D

[Shaviro]

Just ship the damn game :P

Now for my stuff

-A complete collection of Doom and the games spawned from its engine. Doom, Doom II + the Master Levels, Final Doom, Heretic - Shadow of the Serpent Riders, Hexen and Hexen : Death Kings, and the full version of Strife as well...(if ID could get the rights or something)

-Original Doom artwork, created especially for the collectors edition

-The Doom novels (though they are shitty, they are still Doom!)

-Tons of Doom posters!

-A Marine plastic mini

-A Doom mousepad, it would have the Doom logo in the upper left corner, the Doom II logo in the upper right corner, the Final Doom logo in the lower left corner, the Doom 64 logo (or the ID logo) in the lower right corner and the Doom 3 logo in the center (I wanted to make a screenie of this but I lack teh skillz)

-A Doom t-shirt

-Dogtags that have the ID logo on one side and the Doom logos on the other side

-CDs with the Doom, Doom II, and TNT : Evilution tracks on them!

-A 1337455 Doom screensaver

Those are my ideas...

Score!

[mmnpsrsoskl]

Every third box should contain an actual copy of DooM III.

[dsm]

All right, stuff I'd like.
- Some "sketch" book showing off old concept art for the original monsters next to the corresponding concept art of the same monsters as they look in Doom 3

- 3 Doom posters: 1 Ultimate Doom poster, 1 Doom 2 poster and one Doom 3 poster.

- a Doomguy figurine (the way he looks like in the new game)

- one copy of Doom 3

- one Manual for Doom 3

I might have forgotten something.

[Amr0d]

-Copy and a bigger Manual as in normal version
-Dogtags
-Figures of Doom
-T-shirt (in black not like the Doom t-shirt on Id Store in WHITE)
-Posters
-making of Cd
-Soundtrack
-Including Doom, Doom II but in the Doom III Engine
-A Patch(don't know if its the right word for it) you can put on your bag or so
-The Marine clothes with the helmet
-some gibs of an imp
-a cd with sounds of the enemys(for your holidays if couldn't play doom you have some voices of imps and demons :)
-A Book in hardcover including the whole story of DOOM
-Level Editor, Model Editor
-the Gameboy Advance Version when you not at home
-The Original Doom Comics (Knee Deep in the dead, Hell on Earth, Infernal Sky and Endgame)
-The Doom Weapons
-A Bmw Z3 with Doom logos overall
-Barbecue with Id Crew

How would you stuff that into one box?

-some gibs of an imp

Hmm, isn't that a bit macabre? What would you use them for anyway?
(This has to be a bad joke).

-The Original Doom Comics (Knee Deep in the dead, Hell on Earth, Infernal Sky and Endgame)

Uhh, there's only *one* Doom comic, called "Knee-deep in the Dead" and it sucked donkey balls - the other titles you're referring to are the horrible Doom novels, which I wouldn't expect id to stuff into a collector's edition as they (like most people on these forums) loathe these books of toilet paper.

-Including Doom, Doom II but in the Doom III Engine

Patience, grasshopper. It will come, even if the community has to make it itself.

Frankly, I've been thinking of a util that could convert a Doom(2) WAD map into Doom3 format. It'd just take an automated map builder and some AI.

[Lord FlatHead]

Even if you could get it to work, an automated WAD->Doom III converter wouldn't be a good idea IMO. There's just a huge contrast between the 50,000 poly or so scenes in the new game and the 100 or so poly scenes in the old ones.

Some highly detailed manual remakes would rock, though. If anyone here decides to start such a project, contact me and I'll be glad to help.

[Insomniak]

ERR...just keep the price in mind.

Hell yeah, I'd be glad to participate in such a project too (it'll require me to learn how to make advanced levels first - hopefully there'll be some decent tutorials for the Doom 3 modding tools).

[Ninja of DooM]

I got the DooM collectors edition. Just contains all the DooM games on a fancy disk with a skull on it. Maybe we should put this through to ID.

I'd recommend people to just start messing around with GTKRadiant and make Quake3 maps in preparation. From the Doom III: Legacy vid, it appears the Doom editor is just Radiant with a few new features. Which is great news for people who have some experience with GTKRadiant =)

[Joe Doom]

These are what i think should be in the DoomIII collectors' edition
-stainless steel case(with plastic handle)
-maybe some live plasma ammo
-a Doom t-shirt
-a 150+ page manual
-book of concept art
-a glass jewel case
-DooM poster and bumper sticker
-necklace with pinky eyeball in a vial
-imp fingernails
-and finally, parts to build ur own BFG

That's what I gathered when what's-his-face spoke in Dallas last fall, yeah.

[DooMBoy]

All this sounds great and all, but does anyone here have the money to pay for "imp fingernails, the ENTIRE id Anthology (well, every game based off the original Doom engine), imp gibs, parts for a BFG," and all that other stuff?
