Learning from DOOM

[Kesa]

Ah, memories of all those lost hours living in Doom :rolleyes:

This truly is the best game of all time. Nothing today even comes close to being at dooms level. Even though i thought the multiplayer sucked liked hell on earth  :madashell:

The latest Doom game i played was Freedoom which is amazing! My fav backdrop was in Doom2 when you can see the cities in ruins. Very nice.

Don't get me started on Doom3 which i just plain crap

Thanks for the link

Oh yeah i forgot. The worst game ever is any Quake game.

I once played it so much that I could still see it when I closed my eyes to go to sleep....woops.

This actually happens to me on a regular basis usually when i play Call of Duty online multiplayer. But it also happened with DOOM too. For me it was the Rocket Launcher i remember the most

I think it happens when you play something chaotic for too long :confused:

I should take a photo of my DOOM collection some day, I got novels, minitures, posters, sealed games, giant books on editing, every commercial game based on the engine (which were mostly puzzle/rpg Franko), you name it, massive collection!

DOOM III? What's so Doom about it? Reminded me more of System Shock light. Not DOOM, horrid story (I like the one in the DOOM bible better), but not bad if you just get past the title, though not one of ID's usual works of art. DOOM 4 sounds promising though.

As for the movie... What movie?

Actually DOOM was inspired by Alien and Evil Dead.

I agree the movie was pretty crap. Especially the end sequence where they "tried" to recreate the first person shooter using the camera. LAME.

My best experience was hooking my PSX up to the HiFi, putting on huge head phones that blocked out external sound, pulling my recliner up close to the screen, turning out the lights, and playing long hours into the night.

Scared the piss out of me!!!

HAHA! i did this too. I had my ps1 hocked up to my hifi. The plasma gun sounded cool through my 15 inch subwoofer

My favourite level on the ps1 version was "sever the wicked"

HAHA! If Franko does not like first person shooters then why does he have them on his Youtube channel? :confused:

I can't remember what they were. Alien breed 3d? Gloom? Fears?

PS Am i the only one here who thinks Alien Breed 3d is nothing more than a Doom wannabe?

Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners Of The Earth is an awesome game, keeps pretty true to the mythos. I am a huge Lovecraft fan with a lot of rare Call of Cthulhu RPG books, I make and sell horror props too, like these ones:

What are those props in the photo?

@everyone. Am i the only one who didn't like multiplayer and instead preferring single player mode? Single player mode just suits my style of gaming. I really like to sneak around corners and sneak up on monsters. I play like a ninja whereas multiplayer everyone just runs around crazy in a more 'shoot n run' style of play. run and gun just isn't my style

I enjoy a good deathmatch or CTF every now and again, but multiplayer is nothing I'd buy a game for - not when Q3 is open-source and OpenArena provides a free content pack to run with it. That's one other (comparatively minor) complaint I have with modern shooters, they seem to be deciding that since a lot of people buy them primarily for the multiplayer, it's okay to have a single-player mode that's largely an afterthought or straight-up gives the finger to single players >:/

I like games that are designed in a way that running and gunning will only get you killed...

Snow-blind was a good example of this. On the other hand, a liitle run and gun can be fun in moderation, which is why we have Doom and Quake. They didn't need to make anymore clones beyond those two as the were perfect at what they did, and didn't stop there as they also featured puzzles and other elements.


As for on-line death matching and the like...


I grew bored of them back in the Quake II era. Give me single player or co-op any day!!!

Not that i am against online gaming i just have a problem with Doom and Quake.

I play Call of Duty multiplayer almost everyday. I'm addicted! I like the way COD works in that you can customise your setup depending on your playing style. These are called 'Perks'. I set my up so i make no noise when moving about, silencers on my guns and camouflage to hide from radar. I'm a Ninja! Doom just doesn't let you do this   I think single player Doom is all about strategy and if you play gun n run style you will not get far. I'm definitely a strategy player.  

I also like the single player mode too. It has a story on COD and i simply love it. But i would definitely buy a game just for the online Deathmatch

My idea of multiplayer heaven is this: Free for all mode, ninja setup and gun n running in complete stealth. Nothing beats seeing someone then chasing them until they stop to look around a corner then stabbing them in the back! :lol:

I hate campers though

Odd that doom was banned in Germany. My friends in Germany get around this by ordering games from the UK

Any update on Doom4? It says on Wikipedia October 2011...

Can I use my Double Barrel?

----DOOM IV-----

According to id Software president Todd Hollenshead, we've still got some waiting to do before we hear any details. "id Tech 5 is the basis for Doom 4, and I guess infer what you will…What we're really focused on is getting Rage out the door. Once we're to that point, then we want to transition to how we're going to present Doom 4, what are the talking points, how do we introduce it. Because that stuff hasn't even been determined yet. We're talking about that internally."

"I know everybody's interested," he said. "I am too."
