Doom 3 vs. Source: Comparing Engines

Posted by Zonk on from the apples-and-apples dept.

Tom V. writes "DevMaster.net has an article that outlines some of the technical differences between Half-life 2's Source and Doom 3 engines from various game development aspects such as graphics, A.I., physics, networking, etc. According to the author, the winner is the Source engine based on its 'completeness' as a game development package. However, in terms of graphics, the clear winner is Doom 3."

    Should I bother to finish the article?
