i just recently bought doom and doom II again and found this neat mod called jdoom. all the models including weapons and such are now 3d. its a really cool mod i love it. on a 2.8ghz p4 with nvidia geforcefx 5900 ultra it runs like a dream. then i ran it on my older rig, a 1ghz p3 with a geforce 4 ti 4600 and it still ran good as hell. this mod really revamped doom, it works for all of them.it breathes new life into this old mindless shooter although i never really saw it like that. doom will always be a fun game even though it doesnt really have much substance. hopefully doom 3 will be different. i cant help but wonder how they will continue the doom legacy, will they continue the story where they left off or will they just re tell the story. it would have been neat if they just started over using this new engine if they are just re telling the story, maybe doom IV should be like doom II and they take the battle to earth. any one out there know any thing about the story behind doom 3 ?

the basic story line is a military research base on (is it mars? i forget) and while researching weapons they open a gate to hell (as you do) and it goes from there.
To change topic slightly has anyone actually seen the videos of doom running? Visually the game looks stunning but in terms of gameplay it looks... well... lacking...
Personally for me in a first person shoter guns are one of the most important features. if the guns dont look or "feel" right. From what I saw of Doom running it looks rubbish...
of course journalists who have played it claim it to be one of the scariest games ever...
and regardless I'll be buying it anyway even if it turns out shite

Unfortunatly, that seems to be the trend lately. As my grandpappy use to say; "If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig"!!

Played it too, looks incredible. I just hope the gameplay isn't shoot this guy, shoot that guy..... Maybe I'm just expecting too much?
To be honest, the last game that was really innovative was Max Payne, now that was something new, with bullet time and the moves you could make. Not to mention those wild dream sequences!
