More DOOM 3 [Aug 14, 2003, 11:09 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
With QuakeCon getting underway, there are some QuakeCon Doom
3 Multiplayer Impressions on HomeLAN Fed describing the multiplayer action
on tap at the show. Since some of the first comments on the story below concern
physics, here is what this update has to say on the subject: "Rag doll
physics was in evidence during the Doom III multiplayer demo, including objects
like boxes and barrels that could be moved by weapons fire and a dead body
hanging from the ceiling during one portion of the level that could also be
moved by weapons fire. Some glass windows could also be smash but unlike most
glass in games the window didn’t shatter all at once but rather in pieces."
Rag doll. That's all well and good, but I'm sick of shooters not gibbing when the enemy should be gibbed (Brute Force/Halo). Yea yea, they're console, but still. Even in the HL vid from the other day no gibs. I (do) want to see bodies flying around from grenades - that's cool - but I also want to see a baddie get gibbed when they're supposed to. Too much gibbing (ala Q3) is not good as it takes away the satisfaction of gibbing), but not enought isn't as fun as an immensly satifying Q1 gib. rag doll is cool, just combine it with a decent gib model.
edit1: doesn't have to be a complete (spray) gib, I'd settle for someone getting blown in half - or in several pieces (if we're looking for realism).
