Speaks on Doom 3 on GameSpot has a couple of tidbits gleaned from a talk
given by id's lead programmer, saying the ability to save the game anywhere on a
level is being reexamined, that human characters in the game will be animated
with the assistance of motion capture (while most of the monsters will still be
hand-animated), and he is struggling with the decision over whether to allow
shadows to be turned off in the game, since they are so important to the drama,
but they also represent half the engine's rendering efforts. There is also
another article on Carmack's talk on GameSpy.
Limited mission saves suck just as bad a la Splinter Cell which I got in January, and have to this day not completed due to only be able to save at check points which generally come after a difficult part has been finished.
I'd rather have a properly placed checkpoint system (Which saves before and after the good parts) than the unlimited saving system they had on the PC. My stealth experience was sort of degraded by being able to quickly right mistakes.
