Sure, it is all about atmosphere but I will be thinking my marine is treading in peanut butter.somewhat analogous to going to friend's place and using his 'dial-up' internet connection instead of your broadband.painful! I wonder if this pace will carry over to the doom 3 multiplay? Also, can you imagine how *yawn* it will be playing multiplayer running around the maps looking for each other.boring.ītw, there has NEVER been any mention of CO-OP so don't get your hopes up. John does seem to imply that this is an engine limitation.I am really deflated =(.Īlso, I don't know how us twitch boys will adjust to the slow (read: molasses) pace in this game. Now, I have to ask.if id software cannot (will not?) implement more than 4 players and being able to connect to games in progress well how does this bode for future doom3-engine based games. This really is a downer, no one saw this coming (limited to 4 players, and no joining games in progress). Sure, we will be getting it sooner than we had thought but the flipside to that good news it that we will be getting neutered multiplay.
There's a mission interface that pops up in the upper right part of the screen to show objectives that players have yet to accomplish The animated console interface looks much like a Web page and an id developer mentioned that putting together the interface content is like working in Web HTML. As the player approaches a console, the weapon drops out of view and a cursor pops up on the console screen that can be controlled with the mouse. The computer consoles that control various parts of the base are actually quite sophisticated.
Doom III won't have objectives as simple as the original Doom game, which featured repeated quests for colored keycards, but there will be door puzzles. DOOM 3 won't be as short as some recent FPS games, but hardcore fanatics will probably finish it in a weekend. Also mentioned was the length of the game. Four players maximum most likely and no option to join matches that are in progress. The limited multiplayer options are that, limited. Probably the most surprising part is John Carmack expressing hope that the game would be out before next year's E3 (in May), so sooner, rather than later in 2003. You can read articles on GameSpy ( and here), GameSpot, HomeLAN Fed and Dingbat's Domain.
Steve is still MIA but several sites have already reported on what John Carmack had to say at QuakeCon and what id Software showed from DOOM 3.
