Linguica Posted May 22, 2002 Damn those guys at Gamespy, I haven't even left for E3 yet and they've already seen the Doom 3 presentation multiple times and have posted a three-page first look about it. As you might imagine it's chock full of goodness regarding the game that everyone is going to be clamoring to see at E3, not least of all me: While id isn't planning on giving away the entire plot of the game anytime soon, here's what we know so far: DOOM III is basically a "retelling" of the original DOOM, with many of the same characters and themes, and even some returning weapons. Most of the game is set on Mars, where you're a marine recently stationed at the Union Aerospace Corporation, a company with strong military ties doing experimentation with teleportation technology. It seems a few people at the UAC don't exactly have everyone's best interests at heart, and after a betrayal, things quickly descend into chaos, with members of the facility being possessed and turned into zombies. This is where you come in - as one quote from the demonstration put it, "only one man stands between hell and earth... you." I'll have my own pics and writeup tonight or tomorrow, but until then, see you at E3! Or not. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted May 22, 2002 Wtf? Doom 3 a retelling of Doom1??? Why the fuck is it called Doom III then? Not that I mind that the new game's a remake, but it seems really lame that they numbered it as if it was an actual sequel. I'll need to swallow those news before I can really enjoy it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Kid Airbag Posted May 22, 2002 I think that they're going back to the original storyline and expanding on it is quite cool. I'm getting even more excited by the day =) 0 Share this post Link to post

Afterglow Posted May 22, 2002 The video on Fileplanet is the intro BEFORE you go into the booth that has interviews, history of Doom and a small amount of Doom III footage... not the actual 11 minute video that fully shows the game. 0 Share this post Link to post

Darkstalker Posted May 22, 2002 Is the 7 minutes movie just a small version of the 11 minutes ? I don't want to wait 2 hours for nothing. 0 Share this post Link to post
