Doom 3 - BFG edition

Sleepery · 17 Oct 2012 at 19:08

If Quake 4 was called something else nobody would be complaining. It's a perfectly decent game in its own right, recently played through it again with the sik mod, great fun.

It's just not what people were expecting from the mostly multiplayer Quake franchise.

Will get this I suppose when I put in my order for an Occulus Rift, otherwise not especially interested at the moment.

I never watch playthroughs as they bore me, not sure why. I did have a quick look on yours though and the quality is pretty impressive, what do you use sir?

Thanks I will check fraps out, I tried it a few times and the output size was huge, I did start to use MSi but I find the recordings can be a bit dark, even with gamma correction or w/e it is ticked. You probs have a mega upload speed though as well which would help. Mine is only 8.5meg down and 512k up

Pre ordered from GAME. It comes with Rage for free which will clear a fiver on ebay making it an even cheaper purchase.

Actually watched the Doom movie for the first time about two weeks ago. Shockingly bad, and yet strangely entertaining at the same time

even that is on the decline, don't see too many devs lining up to license any of their latest engines compared to what the likes of quake 3 had.

They don't license their engines anymore, they stopped that before Rage (well, I think Zenimax had something to do with it)

They never originally did want to license out their tech.. they used to demand insane amounts of money back in the day in the hopes that it would put companies off from asking them for a license, but a lot of them agreed and paid up..

O don't worry I won't, I don't even game any more life's too short to waste it away on sub-par rehashes like DOOM 3 BFG. just stating opinion.

So why on earth are you browsing a forum called "PC Games", and posting in a thread about a game?

You seem like an idiot Sir.

dogmanstaruk · 17 Oct 2012 at 23:41

I wasn't going to buy this, but when ordering my new kit from OCuk I noticed they had it on pre-order so chucked it in the basket.

I will definitely do another play through. If I remember correctly I've only done the original game, and expansion pack once. Although god knows when I will get around to doing it.

This does bring back some memories of grabbing the Doom 3 Alpha which hit via usenet. Jesus I was so excited. I'm not really sure of id today, but my love of the FPS genre comes from two things. Doom via serial, and Quakeworld via Wireplay & Barrysworld. So I will continue to support them.

At the time it was a source of revenue for them though, i remember Carmack a while back stated that epic "ate their lunch" in the liscensing respect of things.

That was fine and good when they weren't owned by anyone, now they are and have people to answer to if they don't deliver. Id doubt zenimax were very happy with the reception rage got, just seemed to be a one week wonder then people stopped caring.

Gerard · 18 Oct 2012 at 00:03

I remember that footage at the time knocked everyones socks off, then the leak was the icing on the cake. Seemed to have the kernel of a good game but never really delivered.

It was always going to suffer for coming out around the same time as HL2 anyway. Personally I preferred Doom 3 and would still take it over HL2 if I had to choose.

Come at me bros. :eek:

Nice to see the monsters not disappearing after they die. I also prefer the sound / colour of the imp projectile. Love the physics when the zombie slides down the stairs.

id decided to censor Doom 2's secret Wolfenstein 3D levels
