i've been lurking for a while and just needed to post: it's completely different if you view things from a programmer's stand-point. randy is not going to wait around to standardize features when there's only 2 ports that are actually still maintained on a consistent basis. i like the new features but i also like that you can disable most of them. zdoom is good for what it does, i keep prBoom around for demos and vanilla stuff. do the same and life will be better for you. :)

how unoriginal of a title... :) http://www.doomworld.com/triggerauto/neo-doom.shtml just kidding... good luck guys.

you have to remember too... the original doom didn't actually tell you that these guys were demons until the end of E1. maybe they're throwing this genome stuff in, as someone already mentioned, to keep people who haven't played the game yet on their toes. you think it's a resident evil rip off and then "BAM"... it's exactly what Doom is. If that's the case, then it's kind of nice.. It won't be the first time that the audience finds out what's really going on at the same time as the characters in the movie. Maybe they're saying that because no one really knows what's going on....

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0427964/ I'm confused... Brian Steele .... Curtis Stahle/The Baron Doug Jones .... Dr Carmack Imp Does that mean that humans turn into imps and barons??

lol...that's hilarious. the look on the guy's face in the last frame is priceless.

It does, in fact. That's really f@cking scary, weird and wrong.

ugh. his parents' deaths? what next? barney the dinosaur is the one causing the invasion? that, or they're all invading from the future rather than hell... oh wait...

I think that's probably what I was getting at. I know there's people that still edit for it, but not anyone that would need an article like that. It's nice for someone that's clueless, but how many people out there really are clueless about editing... the game's been out for years...

FP. Page cannot be displayed. Looks like someone robbed the armory. Damn them guys...

I don't wanna sound like an ass...but are there still newbies that are learning how to edit for Doom? It's a nice little article, but it's hard to say if anyone will learn anything from it... FP, again.

Is this like Gamespy or something? FP, btw.

Basically, yes. It's really, really bad at making correct geometry, but it'll get you at least a playable, correctly-sized map.

Yeah, I'm serious. I'm not saying to just run it through a .map converter and use that. I'm saying to run it through the converter so that you have an idea of relative size in the Doom3 engine. If you wanna make it from scratch, you're bound to come up with some inconsistencies. If you want to stick to the original, then use it as a tool. Don't just be an ass and try and do what you think would most fit the original. There's a reason the original was so popular. Don't f*ck with the formula.

This is more of what I'd like to see. In fact, I think I'm gonna try something like this. The easiest way to do this is to run the .wad through the .map converter to get the base, but I'd like to see some heavier editing. I think I'm gonna start this up when I get back home and see how I do (I'm in Arizona right now for a vacation).

The Forbes review says 3 out of 4 stars. Where'd you get 4/5? :-P

No, I think he's just a moron. He says something along the lines of "the most variety since Quake". Quake came out after Doom and Doom 2. This guy's smokin' crack...

While I don't completely agree with it, I think that Quarter to Three has probably the most interesting and objective review thus far. What I think they missed out was the fact that Doom 3 is an experience. Regardless of how much has been done before, the atmosphere in the game is unmistakeably good. Other than that, though...they are right. Doom 3 is pretty rehashed. It's just better looking...

Be warned... some of the pics in the FUN directories may not be work safe... =P

Exactly. I am such a creature. :)

I read the IGN article and I hate how they claim that the piracy downloads have already cost people some 2 million dollars. I'll go ahead and admit that I downloaded the game on Friday, but I, as with almost every single solitary person I know, we pre-ordered and pre-paid for the game. Does that count as losing money for piracy if we already paid for the game? I think not. I can name at least 50 people that have downloaded the game and can show you receipts for it. I'm sure there's half a million more. Pirates aren't assholes nor are we usually theives. 2.75 million in lost sales is a very, very skewed number.

what i meant by "that's stupider" is that they should include the BFG in the included maps and then have the server operator choose whether or not they show up in the map. If there's no BFG's in the maps period, then, even if you wanted them, you can't have them because there are no BFG entities in the maps. That's what I meant...

I hope they make the BFG in Deathmatch an option. If they just leave it out, that's stupid. Put it in and then give people the option of disabling it. Also, if it's only out because they didn't include it in the maps that'll ship with the game, that's even stupider.

It doesn't matter if you have it or not, the question is the legitimacy of the leak. The fact that a beta got out is what matters. I think that Scuba Steve released the beta, and, just to get a laugh out of people, claims that it's been leaked out and stolen by some crazy ass hacker. I also don't think that Ralphis would be the one to have gotten it nor would he be the one to spread it out to everyone. The fact that you have it proves nothing...

And on top of that... who in their right mind would think that scuba@steve.com is a real email address? If he was really trying to get help, his email addy would be all over these posts...
