I’m not sure if I was even supposed to get it. I bought it a few days after release and my copy was even open, but I got a soundtrack CD and a DLC code for Survival Mode & Haruka Missions.
Wow that’s awesome, I had to download the OST. 
:lovin:
I knew you’d pop up if I posted that hehe!
I see your The Best is Yet to Come and raise you the origins of the MGS1 logo chime.

So much win and nostalgia on this page.
oh well i’m not the biggest graphics person in the world. I’m the type of guy that will play a PC game and strip away everything and turn off all the lighting shiz to get max performance so my standards are low but I mean loading the pause screen wtf is that about.
Remember when Doom was ported to every system known to man? Why the heck can’t we get Doom 3 on a Sony system?
Don’t worry, it’s not that good. I see your point though.
:sad: The nostalgia is glorious!
Makes me want to play it all the more. All the criticisms I read of it make it sound like something exactly up my alley - less speedy fps shootfest, more atmospheric first person exploration adventure
Then you’d probably like it. Really didn’t like it just cuz it wasn’t DOOM. If it had been named anything else I probably would have really liked it but it wasn’t named something else it was named DOOM and when I played it, it just wasn’t DOOM. I dunno if I’m making sense here, I find it hard to explain. Sorry.
Yeah, Doom 3 is good, ignore the hate.
I actually play mp mode sometimes, when do you guys play?
Its quake 4 that you should ignore. Doom 3 was hot.
i love first person games but hate fps…ironic?
Not particularly, it’s just a camera angle. Games like Metroid Prime, Obivion, Fallout 3, Bioshock, and Deus Ex are all great games in first person for people who aren’t big on shooters. I think it has more to do with a distaste for mindless shooters than anything else.
That being said, I don’t know what you personally consider atmosphere, but Doom 3 felt a bit of run and gun to me with some occasional stuff jumping out at you. The use of lighting was pretty decent though. If you enjoy it I strongly recommend checking out Condemned and FEAR. I felt FEAR was more creative and had less “boo” moments, but more generally unsettling subtle touches.
i think doom 3 is the only game that uses dynamic lighting throughout the whole game, dont quote me as im not 100% on that.

The old Doom games got ported to everything because back then everything could handle Doom 1 and 2. I don’t know why they don’t start re-releasing the game to give it more exposure like they did with Doom 1 and 2. Shit, those games got put on GBA over 10 years later. Doom 3 was only on PC and Xbox because supposedly back then that’s all that was around that could handle the game. Some games still use the engine, like the new Wolfenstein game (which sucked, fuck you Raven software and Activision. Sad how Raven went from Soldier of fortune 1/2 and the Jedi Knight games to Quake 4 and this garbage.) I think CoDfish 4 to MW2 uses the Doom 3 engine, either that or it’s a modified Quake 3 engine. There’s a new game being developed by Splash Damage called Brink that uses the engine as well.
The Jdoom mod adds freelook to Doom 1 and 2 and allows you to bump up the resolution and mouse sensitivity, shit is awesome. I liked Doom 3 and its expansion, it was fun, and at the time the graphics were amazing. They still are good, its just the blockiness of most things that makes it look a little dated, but otherwise, the texture detail and enemies still look awesome. Brink looks good, though that game and id Software’s new game Rage both aesthetically look like Borderlands/Red Faction Guerrilla a bit.
It wasnt that everything could handle Doom, it was that they didnt care if systems could handle it or not so they were fine with drastically downgrading the graphics, removing entire levels, putting giant borders around the play screen to make it smaller, etc. I mean this was a game that came out in radically different forms on the Jaguar, 32X, Playstation, Saturn, and Super NES (to name a few). Not all of them could handle it, but they did it regardless.
