Okay, here's my final REAL opinions of Doom 3. So, Steve, this should over
rule the e-mails I sent you bitching about it being a strategy game.
These are points from having seen the rolling demo.
#1. It looks fucking ace. Visually, it's mind-blowing, the way the lights
are and the way they set the mood.
#2. It looks scary as fuck.
#3. It sounds amazing. I watched it without sound first, so when I saw it
with the sound it became a whole lot more absorbing.
#4. The Doom III logo at the end of the demo made me cum.
#5. It's not *really* Doom, but this is only an early level. It reminds me
of Quake 2, with the Doom Marine.
#6. They have an animator from Shrek/Ants doing the animation. Pretty
funky. They look good, too.
#7. The faces are awesome, the way they move when they talk. Same for the
set pieces, they're really something...
#8. Monsters actually look like they *should* be in a certain locations -
The animations are being designed AROUND the level structure, so if there is
a beam, for example, they'll jump or climb over the exact shape of the beam.
Really something.
#9. I think the zombies look a bit crap. They walk very "Night of the
Living Dead", and when there's a few on screen they look a bit samey. The
other monsters rule, especially the big bastard at the end who rips the
player in half.
#10. There's no pickups and no HUD!!! GO FUCK YOURSELVES JESTER
MANAGEMENT, I WAS RIGHT YOU FUCKING MORONS! *ahem* But, yeah, they're
going the right way.
