      I've confirmed what you have posted. At 00:43 frame 23 you can see the original doom guy's face. Its kinda spooky looking.

    Is Bittorrent the only thing that goes FASTER as it gets slashdotted, or are there other examples of this?

  4. Maybe not so impressive, after all by TintinX · · Score: 5, Interesting

    So I've just BT'ed the movie and - well - quite honestly, from this new (and, I admit) short sneak preview, I am underimpressed.
    Of course I realised that Doom3 was gonna be Old Skool stlyee, but until I saw this clip of prolongued in-game footage, I didn't realise just how 'run backwards through tight corridors shooting at things' is was likely to be.
    Answer (given this trailer) is: a huge, big amount of very lots.
    Call me a traitor but I'm much more looking forward to HL2 with it's human militia, Eastern European country setting and all-round greater immersion.
    I'll give D3 a warez bash and purchase it if I'm still playing after Day 3 (really, I will), but I have a feeling it may be rather short-lived on my hard disk (not to mention the fact that I'm gonna have to endure it on my laptop (pretty sexy, but still...) as I'm away on business for the first half of next week).
    Oh timing - you cruel, cruel fate (possibly).

  5. Random thoughts after watching the trailer. by RogueyWon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Just watched the trailer. The lighting effects are excellent... best I've seen in a game so far. Monsters also look superb, in terms of both design and animation. Enviroment in general is pretty spiffy... I like the writing on the walls in blood.

    On the down-side, I think the weapon effects, particularly the plasma gun, really do look quite lame. Certainly no better than what we've already seen in UT2k4, if not slightly worse.

    Also, the trailer gives me some cause to worry about the gameplay. As I understand it, the idea was that this would be a game that would play heavily on the "fear" aspect, and I find constant combat to be a huge fear-negating factor. I'll be upset if the gameplay does turn out to be "just another fps". Of course, it's perfectly possible that they thought they needed to show constant combat in the trailer and that this isn't representative of the full game.
