why are we calling it doom 3?

Recommended Posts

there already is final doom(3) and doom64(4) and they are both canon in one way.

Final Doom is a 64 level expansion to Doom 2.

Doom64 is a separate sideline of the mix, sort of like Doom 1.5 in my opinion. The graphics on it are awesome, though.

What the hell do you mean by 'canon'? They're both canon in one way? That's a new phrase for me.

We're calling it Doom 3 because iD hasn't given us anything else to call it. There was a big discussion on this forum about this around four months ago.

And there is already a wad called "Doom 3: Mr Smiley Goes Safari"...
But forget about it and also forget about Final Doom etc., everyone knows that there was Doom and Doom II: Hell On Earth, and the third game into the Doom series will be the new Doom. No discussion.

Canon -saintly, immortalized, of great historical significance. Object of respect and reverence.

Doom is canon among pc games.

Get it? Got it?

Good. :)

Well, we call it that way because D3 is a lot shorter than New DooM (as id refers to it)...



BTW : Does anyone here saw the Seraphim Trailer?? Im looking forward to that game. I have a question : they´re using a Basil Poledouris song, probably from Conan. Does anyone here knows the name of that song?

Actually I was off a little. I went to dictionary.com and looked it up.

"A basis for judgment; a standard or criterion" was the closest to "my" defintion that I found....

Well, I was close kinda.... :)

They are calling it doom 3 cause it comes after doom2..... Final doom is just an add-on, and doom64 dont count...

I read some FAQ somewhere about 'canon' star wars shit being stuff which is authorised and fits the official story line, e.g. not the novels and stuff which conflict with the future sw2 film's plotlines etc. so perhaps he means doom64/final doom fit in with the doom/doom2 plot?
