i dont think so, i remember that at the end of the original doom they tried to make it sound like the game had a point... oh wait! yeah, they try to make it seem like they were conducting an experiment and it went terribly wrong and all these monsters came out, i guess it was a portal of some sort... not sure but you can see the trailor here just click on trailor, youll see what i mean

Night, the graphics card matters more than the processor. As far as game requirements go, I would make sure you at least meet the standard requirements or try to get close to the optimal. We still have more than a month till Doom 3 and probably more than that till HL 2, so that gives people some time to save their pennies for a new video card.

hmmm so is Doom3 like a re-make of the original?

when i asked my brother on the story of Doom this is what he said

Posts: 764 · Posted: Thu Jun 24, 2004 5:33 pm Post subject:

no i dont think its a remake of the first one, because the first one really had no story. I think you're in Mars and theres some sort of Invasion and you have to get out...alteast thats what ive read

even if it DIDNT have a story im still gonna play this game

and is this always the same guy in the Doom Games
all you ever see of the guy in Doom is his face constantly looking left to right on the bottom of your screen, or his face is drenched in blood or something...

I suggest you do some research if you'd like to figure out the real story. I'm sure they have the whole thing written up for you to read all about somewhere on their site. I just hope that Doom 3 brings something new to the FPS genre and makes playing multiplayer fun again. I very rarely am interested in the single player aspects of FPS games.

for me Half Life changed how i saw FPS and games themselves with its AI
Doom 3 just looks like a challenging good graphics "poop your pants"
adventure

yeah, half life 2, and medal of honor have been the only 2 FPS games that ive found worth playing single player.

I have played doom 3.... and it was ok. My friend had the leaked beta at the lan party i went to last night. I dont know what the settings were at because you cant change them or the controls or anything, but it must have been at 800x600 res because of all the rigid edges on everything but it still looked amazing. And even at the low settings they give you it was a bit of a challenge for my little TI 4800 se. but it is scary! you walk into a room and you can hear the zombies whispering and you dont know where its coming from.... creepy stuff!
