  2. Hmm, not terribly impressed... by casio282 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'll probably get modded into the basement for saying this but...is it me, or do those shots not look that impressive? Part of it is the JPG artifacts, which we should disregard. But even still, it doesn't look "next generation" to me.

    Am I alone in thinking this?

  3. holy faceted polygons, batman by paradesign · · Score: 1, Interesting
    those characters look like their from the original playststion, just with really awesom textures. unless they bump up the polys on the character models its not going to look good.

    if youve played resident evil for the GC youll know what im talking about. if doom can incorporaate all of the lighting tricks, textures and high poly models theyll be all set. i think doom has the textures and lights, but the models are horrible.

    but its still in pre prod. so...

  4. litter the hallways with corpses? by kisrael · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You know, that's one thing I really hope it will have: hallways full of tons and tons of monster corpses to mark the trail of where you've been (or where are the places not to stand in the case of a deathmatch)

    Seriously, that's what was so cool about the Doom and Doom II engines; because they were sprite based, they could leave the corpses lying about. Most polygon based shooters don't do that. I supposed some realistic ones might, but those aren't the ones that send hoardes of bad guys to be mowed down like wheat in the first place.

    So assuming they "have" to go full-Polygon, I hope they give thought to not pushing the models so much that they have to magically sweep away the dead bodies...
