DOOM 3 at QuakeCon [Jul 24, 2003, 10:35 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
DOOM 3 Deathmatch Playable at QuakeCon 2003
is the press release announcing that id Software's upcoming shooter will be on
display at the upcoming LAN extravaganza (thanks Tim Kraemer). Here are a couple
of bits:
Prepare for DOOM 3(TM)! id Software(TM) and Activision, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI - News) are bringing DOOM 3 to QuakeCon 2003. The world's most legendary multiplayer gaming event will host the first-ever opportunity for fans to play DOOM 3 multiplayer. In Dallas at the Adam's Mark Hotel from Aug. 14 - 17, QuakeCon attendees will go toe-to-toe at the Activision/id Software booth in the ultimate sneak preview of the most anticipated game ever.
...
QuakeCon attendees will have the chance to play DOOM 3's four-player Deathmatch on a level co-developed by id Software and U.K.-based developer Splash Damage, Ltd. Splash Damage has most recently worked with id Software on Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory, and will be co-developing DOOM 3's multiplayer levels.
As long as whatever they do has a point, it'll be cool. If they're just doing multi for multi's sake and to stop people from bitching, then it'll suck. People will probably complain regardless, because it seems everybody in the gaming community just has to whine about something.
After the greatness that is the FREE Enemy Territory, Splash Damage has so much goodwill built up with me, that I would buy Doom 3 just for that.

4 Player deathmatch? Please. That sucks donkey.
Splash is doing the multiplayer? Hmm, maybe Doom 3 isn't going to suck after all...
With Splash Damage doing the multiplayer work on Doom 3, it makes you wonder if the push back of the release date is so that they can bring the multiplayer up to something decent.
Before they said it would be pretty basic.
Now im thinking that they are going to try and do an ET to the multiplayer side. That would be cool, squad based combat thru the dark station,..
We shall see i guess, but im hoping that they deliver a solid single and multiplayer game!

It would be great if id released this preview as a demo, or as a "test" as they have released pre-demo software in the past.

I bet you Valve will be releasing HalfLife 2 multimplayer tid-bits 2-3 days before QuakeCon. Hehehe.
Or better yet, Valve releases a playable HalfLife 2 demo. Even better!

You cannot make anything fool-proof. The fools are too inventive
