E3 Doom III Preview

Warped-Reality writes "GameSpy has a new Doom III Preview covering aspects of the storyline and how Doom III will be different from the rest of the FPS genre. It includes some pictures of the E3 Doom III demo booth. As the article says, "This is DOOM III, and it's going to scare you to hell."" Looking at these images, I can only say two things: Wow and Cool Toilets. Update: 05/22 19:55 GMT by M : There's also an interview with Carmack giving a few more details about the game.

Cool Toilets

Wow and Cool toilets

Now, this is why I always wipe the seat before sitting down.

Ummm....those toilets aren't the kind you're ever supposed to sit down on. And if you do, I don't want to know about it.

Ah, but pay attention, grasshopper:

Back there in the murk and gloom, you'll notice a cubicle, a cubicle whose porcelian throne lies prone and unconscious upon it's side, obviously the innocent viction of the HEMORRHOID BEAST'S explosive emergence from the lower depths of HELL!!!

Now, I'm no expert but it seems to me that taking the simple precaution of wiping the seat, while possibly not preventing the H.B.'s emergence into our dimension, certainly wouldn't have hurt.

So, now you know the difference between a urinal and your standard, seated john.

Just don't piss in the sinks, OK?

Yep. I heard that you'll be able to sell your own organic fruits and vegetables to unsuspecting yuppie zombies on level 6.

Co-ops are great for fresh food, but are you going to be able to keep up with the demand for fresh brains?

My god my buddy and I did the *exact* same thing. I think doom prevented me from getting into a decent college :) your name isn't matt is it? :D

Lots of monsters...

[NetJunkie]

I'd really like to see this have a ton of monsters like the original Doom games did. That's a big reason I enjoyed Halo so much. You'd walk in to a big area and there would be 20 or 30 enemies to take down. Not many games do that these days....

That was the best part of Doom. Open a big door and find 30 guys in there. Your friends playing co-op would see you running back by them and ask "What is it?". Heh...then they'd get swarmed. Good times...good times....

Oh yeah, I also want an Aliens TC mod.

Conspiracy?

Question: Do id software members get kickbacks from the video card industry? :)

Men's bathroom

[jcsehak]

Note to women of Slashdot: This is why you should never use the men's bathroom.

And what are those things sticking out over the urinals? Even without the monster there, I'd be scared to take a piss. Flushers? Infared sensors? None like I've seen. I don't know about you guys, but I generally don't like anything that close to my dick unless it can make babies or tell me it needs more space.

[7-Vodka]

they obviously shake it for you.

Wow!

[sharkey]

I can't wait to see the Barney mod for this!

Re:The original Doom/ Doom II were scary

[TellarHK]

*stomp stomp stomp stomp stomp*
RAAAAAGRH!
*whoosh whoosh*
*BOOM*

Now THOSE were the sounds of fear. Nothing has surpassed the original cyberdemon for me.

Except maybe my first panicked headcrab assault.

rendering engine could use improvement

[wrinkledshirt]

Sheesh, Carmack sure is slipping. Things are looking a little foggy here. And these monsters aren't looking very frightening. Okay, well, maybe if I was a girl...

"Send more cops."

"Send more paramedics."
