Talkin'
DOOM with id Software on GameSpy.com is dated a couple of days ago,
but was just put online, recapping their QuakeCon conversation with id
Software's Tim Willits and Fred Nilsson. They discuss how the four-player limit
John Carmack described for DOOM III is a design choice and not a technical
limitation, reasons for the inability to join multiplayer games once they are in
progress, that this inability to join running games will also extend to Quake IV,
exactly how "committed" they are to an Xbox port, plans for a future
multiplayer update or add-on, the chances of a DOOMtest, the types of cinematics
they're planning, plans for an automap, what's been going on since E3, where
progress stands, the reception their showings of the game have met with,
collaborating with Raven on Quake IV, and more.
Considering the evironment, I think the 4 player limit will be good for the scare factor. You'll always be looking for your oponents shadow around the corner with baited breath. It's going to be a whole different kind of experience. I look foward to it.
That depends on the design I guess. If it feels like Quake3, where you can jump ten feet and run at a steady 60 miles per hour, it isn't going to be scary. The level design is going to play a big part too. I don't see anything good in the join on startup option though. It just makes things harder for the player
