Doom! It's not dead. The overwhelming masses see it as a dead game, a game that no one no longer plays. This is not so. Proof? Well, you're reading it. Still not convinced? Check out <A HREF="http://www.doomworld.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.doomworld.com"><U>www.doomworld.com</U></A> and go chat with doomers there. You can chat on forums, or real-time IRC chat.</div> <bR> <div>  For those who are <U>still</U> not convinced, go to <A HREF="http://www.fileplanet.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.fileplanet.com"><U>www.fileplanet.com</U></A> and download the GeForce 3 preview video, with it is included NEW FOOTAGE FROM THE DOOM 3 GAME. That's right, iD has finally started it. The next installment of the most popular electronic game ever is expected to come out some time this year, although, it'll probably be out more like, 2002.</div> <bR> <div> And about the video, itself. I myself was dissapointed at seeing the new footage. It looks dark, too dark. I mean, Doom is a dark game, quite a few of the rooms in Doom were hard to see in, but this, this looks way too dark. There's a fine line between dark and too dark to play. This looked too dark to play. The 'demon' type creature in the preview video that was always jumping around and 'stalking'? It looked to me like a bad animatronics puppet, kinda like from the canteena in the original Star Wars. The zombie looked okay, but it wasn't 'military' looking enough. The entire video gave me the impression of a Resident Evil FMV. But that's just the way I see it. The engine itself looks amazing, just the content, which is even more important, does not look to be promising. This looks like very early footage, so thankfully it will change many times. iD hasn't really let us down so far, I think they'll make Doom 3 good. And if they don't, God help them :)</div> <bR> <div> While we're on the topic of the latest Doom game, here's another thing. In the video, they show the actual player models. In what I'm almost sure of is the standard grunt-type Space Marine, where the hell is his faceplate? How can you have a Doom marine without a faceplate? Blasphemy. Isn't the Doom marine supposed to be 'you' in the game? I'm going to be very disappointed if there is no faceplated marine.</div> <bR> <div> Here's my prediction. This new game (it has not been decided what it will be called, Doom 3 is just a guess) will go one of two ways.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>The First Way</I></div> <div> Success! It will be the most amazing, damn finest shooter since the very first shareware episode of Doom was uploaded to that FTP, so long ago :) It will kick gigantic proportions of ass, boasting features and graphics that make Quake 3 players shit themselves, and a single player experience that will make Half-Life look like Barney's Pre-school Adventure. A new era of gaming will begin, just as the original Doom ushered in the same thing. Legions of bleary-eyed gamers will call in sick for work or school to sit at home and play.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>The Second Way</I></div> <div> Failure. Complete, utter, absolute failure. A failure of epic proportions, so bad and so shitty that it would embarass anyone to utter the name 'Doom'. Of course, people will still buy it, but only because of the name Doom and the fame of its predecessors, and will junk the game after two weeks.</div> <bR> <div> There you have it. I hope it will be the first way. Enjoy the pics below.</div> <bR> <div> Also, all hail the Zero Wing craze!

Below are something very interesting. Fake screenshots of Doom 3. That's right! Guess people had nothing better to do with their time, but hell, for the same reason, I'm making this website :P</div> <bR> <div> <IMG SRC="151bb8c0.gif" border=0 width="187" height="140" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="152bb8c0.gif" border=0 width="187" height="140" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="153bb8c0.gif" border=0 width="187" height="140" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="154bb8c0.gif" border=0 width="187" height="140" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"><IMG SRC="15580e00.jpg" border=0 width="640" height="480" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></div> <bR> <bR> <div> I've also drawn an off-colour Doom comic.
