DOOM III Q&A

[Apr 30, 2003, 3:49 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

There's a DOOM III Q&A on GameSpot where they catch up with id Software's Tim Willits, lead designer on the upcoming remake of their seminal first-person shooter. They include a quite groovy new screenshot, and discuss the game's single-player play, as well as what sort of multiplayer support is planned. One of Tim's answers offers hope for the return to preeminence of one of the mainstays of the DOOM/DOOM II arsenal:

All the weapons in Doom III are fun to use, and each one serves a purpose in the game, depending on the situation the player is in, but I think my overall personal favorite is still the shotgun. It has a wide range of uses--good for picking bad guys off from a distance, and great for those in-your-face battles. When I have it up, I can almost feel it in my hands, the heavy metal feel and the feedback I get when I fire it right on. When I run out of shotgun ammo, I really begin to get scared.

SHUT UP EVERYONE

No one cares if you've played the alpha as it's not representative of the game. No one knows what any of these games will be like. The previews are hype so whether you like what is said or not is largely irrelevant as much of it won't be 100% true and a lot of the features being touted now won't make it into the full game. I remember previews of Deus Ex. The game didn't end up nearly as open as they were promising. Guess what? It still ruled. Wait till the games are actually finished. In the mean time stop acting like your word is law. No way this thread deserves nearly 300 posts. Cut it Blue.
