Decent graphical mod for Doom 3?

I almost got bored with Doom 3 (haha someone abbreviated Doom 3... lazy sod) but then I walked into Cheif Abrahams Office and found *SPOILERS* the BFG then fixed a bloody Transporter.

Almost got bored? Heresy! I think there were a couple of levels in the middle where I found it starting to get boring, but it soon picks up again.

The Hell level is something impressive to look forward too, which probably isn't too far ahead of you now.
 
Yeah I should rather say it was getting a little slow but not for long. I was *SPOILERS* in Hell before I knew it and I must be at the end now surely. There's just tons of these monsters spawning now.
 
heh, funnily enough I was only thinking of re-loading this up last night!

I also was one who didnt finish it due to being scared witless :p

Not sure how it will handle 3 monitors on nvidia surround though since people seem to be saying they have problems with resolutions

(ps that duct tape mod sounds good! :D )
 
Alpha Labs upto hell level is the most impressive, espescially if anyone can remember that big hole in the ground and the wierd sound affects.
 
Just started a run through Doom 3 again tonight. Must have completed the game a good half dozen times but it just never gets boring.

HL2 I had to force myself to finish, but then it wasn't that bad really. It's just how utterly ****ed up Doom 3 is. Wonderfully engrossing and enthralling.

Yeah, it can be samey, but then so can many games. And I tell you now, it does what it does better than any other game made. Gets into your head and messes with you. :D

I have high hopes for Doom 4. Easily my most anticipated game.

farcry, Doom 3, and HL2 all came out fairly close together (I played those games a LOT that year), and were all a generational leap on what went on before. I think the improvements since then have been incremental, really - though well worth it.

Propbably the three single player FPS games I enjoyed the most and certainly excluding the CoD series.
 
Seeing how good it looks and plays 6 years after release is a testament to Carmacks Genius. It also has me weak at the knees thinking about what RAGE and Doom 4 will be like....
 
I had an Amd Xp2200 and a Ti4600 when I first got Doom 3 it looked like clockwork, fast forward to Phenom II 965 and a GTX 275 on Win7 and I have to say that this game really has stood the test of time, simple game play but excellent sounds and visuals. I wonder if DOOM 4 or whatever it is called will force the masses to upgrade fever again.
 
^^Doom 4 will have three times, yes three times, the graphical richness of 'Rage' (which is out on the 13th of September). Doom will be a 30Hz game, I expect a number of people will upgrade for it (maybe myself though I most likely will have before it hits the stores). About six months after the release, as per usual, hardware will be out that can give a considerably better gaming experience.

Completed again. :D DAMN IT I love this game.

Onward with the expansion methinks.

Just saw the post above and I was a bit :eek: about the release date - SEPTEMBER?!? But then I read this...

id Software technical guru John Carmack has told OPM UK anyone expecting to wait a long time for DOOM 4 will have a shorter wait than first thought. Carmack told the mag the shooter shouldn’t take as long to get out the door, unlike RAGE, which was announced in 2007 at QuakeCon, and won’t be out until next year, producer Tim Willits told VG247 back in May. “Well we’ve got Doom 4 going on right now below our feet here,” he said. “The Doom team are all sped up and working on this technology base – I’m not really at liberty to discuss much about it, but it’s going full steam ahead right now." He adds: “It shouldn’t take as long to ship as Rage. It’s already in the pipeline and we feel good about it.”

So it's out before September. I'd like it in Q2 but I want them to make sure it's perfect above all.

^^That was taken from 'Gameplanet' iirc. There was an update posted, which you may have seen at the top of the page. Unless I'm reading it wrong, we won't be seeing Doom 4 before Rage. What do you think? :)

That's correct. Rage comes out first, Doom4 sometime after.
Several journalists misinterpreted this line: "It shouldn’t take as long to ship as Rage. It’s already in the pipeline and we feel good about it."
What Carmack meant was that the total development time of Doom 4 would be less than Rage, which meant we wouldn't have to wait for years after rage to see it.

Thanks for the link, am playing with this little mod atm. Most of what he's done has improved it imo, save for the sound of the plasma rifle when firing. I altered my config as well so 1920x1200 and one or two other changes...it looks sweet. :)

Will try the Sikk mod (that Magick referred to in that video) at some point. Cheers for the heads up there, sir. :)
 
I reinstalled Resurrection of Evil at the weekend and I'm finding it a blast! I'd done a clean install of Win7 after getting a couple of gtx580s. It plays at a constant 60fps, in-game maxed out, nvidia Control Panel 64xSLI AA, Transparency AA 32xSLI, LOD clamped, triple Buffered and v-sync enabled. It still looks awesome for a game of it's age and made me squeal like a girl several times.
