man, doom 3 was cool.
but the lack of multiplayer really made me disapointed, and thier has been something about the "look" of quake 4, and doom3 that looked too plasticky and cartoonish to be nearly as scarey as half life 2 even, or fear, fear 2, silent hill even, or resident evil 2, i applaud the creative artwork, and programming skill of ID and carmack, they have been my idols for over a generation.
but i think they need a new direction with thier overall game design philosophy with the quake and doom titles, i remember playing the original doom when i was what, like 9 or something and being blown away, games and pc's still blow me away, but quake 4 and doom 3 didnt, they were good games at that. not great, just good.
the last wolfenstien was a great game, i hope this one is also.
i must say i played doom 3 pirated and still bought it afterwards even though i didnt want too, i really didnt feel it was worth the money, and i never ever got around to even playing the expansion. the thought of going back and installing it has crossed my mind a few times, but i never actually followed through. . .
i hope the best days of ID and carmack are not behind them, although its looking more like they are, than are not.
my fingers are crossed for this game and future releases from ID and carmack,
over the years ive tried to listen and read as many things i could get my hands on when he talks about his vision of gaming 5 to ten years from now, and i think overall he is still a genious, its just that game making has become a more intricate art than it once was. i think that is part of the reason ID may be flipping out so much this time around, since several of thier last releases werent as big as i thought they would be, and im sure them either.
the quake and doom series really needs a breath of fresh air, i personally have alot of ideas that i think could make the next quake and doom truly amazing, while still retaining all of its heritage and really redeem themselves as a must buy titles.
ever since unreal the fps title has been lost, ut3 is also amazing, and even that game can be greatly improved.

i hope wolfenstien is good, ive been playing ut3 to the bone and could use something new.
