History Of Doom Movie Debuts

Posted by michael on from the bang-click-click-bang-click-click dept.

Rogerpq3 writes "A G4/Tech TV feature on DOOM 3, offering a history of the DOOM franchise in the words of the folks at id Software. The clip can be found on the air on The DOOM Franchise, episode 310 of a series called 'Icons.' The piece offers clips from DOOM 3 and other games, interview footage, analysis and more, and for those without access to the program. You can download the movie at: 3DGamers, Doom3HQ, Doom3.de, Doom3maps.de, and FileShack. It's really worth the download for any Doom and id fans out there. (Thanks: BluesNews)"

  1. Something good on G4TechTv by secondsun · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Does this mena that there will now be another good thing to watch on G4TTV? (The first being the back of my eyelids of course).

    TechTV wasn't a GREAT network, but I never turned to it and felt like my brain was being removed from the back of my head. Now, post merger, the content is trite, the reviews are lame (but getting better at least), and the Screen Savers has passed into unwatchable. Maybe I am missing some show that comes on in my off time, but what is good on the network?

  3. history of dooom by spacerodent · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Doom is such an integral part of gaming history. How many of you played it as your first game? How many of you remember the first modding tools? Or the joys of downloading your first TC? Anyone remember Aliens TC by Justin Fisher? That mod had better atmosphere and gameplay than most comercial games I've played. Fourty or fifty years down the line I bet our kids look back on doom as the Model T of PC gaming.

    - First played doom on a 486 at my buddy's place

    - Could not afford a system that could run Doom
    - Finally got a p100 and bought Quake
    - Headfirst into the mod community
    - Made levels for Quake, Q2, Q3
    - Mods include Thunderwalker 2, Allstar2 CTF, Painkeep Arena
    - Invented Doom for Columbine that will likely never see the light of day (for obvious reasons)
    - Decided to design Doom 3 mod tenatively called "Doom 3 Bloopers" where we have some fun modding the orginal game
    - Still can't afford a computer that can play latest Doom Game
