I've got no reason to buy it, someone could give it to me for free though. :)

No, there isn't any reason to buy it, unless you happen to enjoy good games. But if you you do, you're just weird, right? :p
I bet you think that's funny, don't you.

That looks just like DOOM3 from the screens.. tiny little suffocating rooms, too dark to see anything, even the HUD looks the same.

Hold up, are we looking at the same screen shots here? The ones I'm looking at don't look like they have tiny suffocating rooms. I'll agree they look dark though, but I can still see well enough to know what's going on in there, unlike D3.

except most of the rooms arent tiny.

In fact, I just got done blowing stuff in an area that was pretty freakin huge.
And for the most part, the game is well lit. A few dark rooms, but i hardly have to use the flashlight.

No... The HUD will look the same, because...well it's a sexy HUD. One thing Doom had going for it was the interfaces, everyone can admit. I think it looks a lot better than Doom 3, and I know for sure it runs better.

The best HUD of all time was Metroid Prime.

Doom3's kinda sucks, really. Nothing original to it.

You mentioned that it runs better than Doom3, but does it have the same lighting as D3?

I don't normally want games.

Wow! Horrible marketing. Horrible. I was looking at screenshots and previews on and off for the past few months, and I missed its release? I was completely unaware that is out until I saw this thread. Haha! Way to go, Raven! You suck again!

As for the game, I guess it looks good. For those who will play it, enjoy.

At least The Lost Coast will be released soon. Steam was nice enough to notify me of that.

You probably didn't hear about it because the commercials didn't feature Linkin Park.
2005-10-22, 9:24 AM #52
Actually, I only heard about it about a week ago. You'd have thought there'd be more hype, but then again, "hype" is a two edged sword. If people aren't aware something exists, they can't be disappointed by it...

Seriously, it's just a Doom3 mod, right? Less claustrophobia, less "OMG Theres ANOTHER dark corner. Maybe a zombie will jump out of it?", less torch batteries required?

Looking at the screenshots, I noticed "SMC"... USMC?

It's really not like Doom 3.

CM--that's JKTrezy, not JDKNITE. :p

Also, Echo, it has BETTER lighting than Doom 3 if anything.

If its got good gameplay, thats a plus. The video (yours, yosh?) showed a decent firefight. So far, though, it looks just like D3 from the screenshots.

I guess there is only so many ways an offworld base inhabited by legions of evil can look, though.

Mine. There are lots of intense firefights like that...I can see how you'd extrapolate Doom 3 from the screenshots, but honestly it plays much faster, much cooler IMO.

No, it was not. It had some cool things, but as a whole - failed.

It was a perfectly fine game. It wasn't amazing, wasn't new, wasn't innovative, so people say it failed. Honestly, it still was a decent Shoot 'em Up. Quake 4 puts it to shame as far as that goes, though.

People are saying it's "squad-based" - does that mean you have a bunch of artificially stupid bots following you around and getting in your way? I -hate- games like that.
2005-10-22, 9:35 PM #65
God damn I am having so much fun with the Single Player in this game.

It is nothing like Doom 3. I mean, same graphics engine, but the gameplay is so entirely different. Huge gun fights, get to pilot tanks and mechs. Very large outdoor environments, insanely cool lighting, and awesome story.

Spoiler:
Did anyone think the whole Strogg facility sequence with you getting chopped to bits was just too freakn awesome? It almost rivals the Metal Gear Solid 3 torture scene. I was just waiting to see that saw come down and get my legs off, but that stupid thing blocked the view

Brian, I wouldn't really say it's "squad-based". You usually start off with 3 or 4 guys, that are actaully pretty helpful. But then there is the "We'll stay here, guard the door, and you go shut down the heavily guarded reactor" type situation.

Not really, they kinda stand around, and really I almost want bots with me--they have medics and techies (which translates to health and armor)

It's squad based in that every now and then a couple soldiers come and help you, and then then can heal you and your armor. But they can also die pretty easily, and you don't have to protect them or control them ever.

Generally I really really like having them around, but they are only there for maybe 1/3 of the game.

I feel like saying this:

Howzabout we just don't compare Doom 3 and Quake 4, because of these reasons:
1) They use the same freaking engine, for god's sake, of course they'll be similar.
2) I'm downright sick of all this 'D3 SUX TEH BIG ONE!!1 PLASTIC LOL' and 'Q4 USES TEH D3 ENGINE SO IT MUST SUCK LIKE D3 DID LOL' bullstuffings.
3) No more fanboy flamewars.

I realize I'm a tad late posting this and may instigate another flame war, but I had to get it out of me.
DO NOT WANT.
2005-10-24, 2:22 PM #75
Zell is right.

And Doom 3 was good. Other games are just better.

There's a big difference between being similar and looking exactly the frickin' same. You could walk into one of the Quake 4 rooms while playing Doom 3 and you wouldn't even notice a difference half of the time. :p

Um, nobody types like that here. Just restating someone's argument in stupid-talk isn't debating, it's childish. And don't say it was a joke, because it's not funny. :)

Meh. Not a fanboy.

That said, I'm sure Q4 is a quite decent game. It just bothers me that in one of those outdoor screenshots, the horizon extends about 100 meters in any direction. >.<

Heh, that's the way people usually imitate other people as on the internet. While they may not be saying that exactly, sometimes it comes across to me like that. Even here. :0
