There's another
DOOM
3 Q&A on GameArena talking with id Software's Tim Willits and Todd
Hollenshead at the Activision Activate conference in Asia. Likewise,
GameArena's
DOOM 3 Preview is also online,
GameSpy.com's
DOOM 3 Preview has been posted, and there are
DOOM
3 Single-Player Impressions on GameSpot where they also recap their session
with the upcoming shooter remake as shown off by Willits and Hollenshead. They
offer impressions of the gameplay and the atmosphere created by the new game
engine, both of which can be found in this quote:
The flashlight is
present in both single-player and multiplayer modes. It serves as an exploration
tool that realistically cuts through shadows, and it also serves as a
last-ditch-effort melee weapon. But if you have your flashlight in hand, you
don't have any kind of decent weapon equipped. This point was driven home by the
sudden appearance of another zombie, who leaped from the shadows of the
heretofore strangely quiet hallway. As we dodged away from it, we watched as it
lunged for us and closed its arms around thin air in a failed attempt to grab us
before we blasted it. We also came to a short stairway. At the top of the stairs
was a heavyset zombie who noted our presence. He then grabbed a nearby barrel
and hurled it at us. We dodged the barrel, but it tumbled off to the side, and
the sound of it crashing to the ground reverberated realistically around us.
Also,
IGN quotes
unnamed sources in reporting that "progressive metal band Tool is doing an
original song for
Doom 3."
Update: There is yet
another
DOOM 3 preview on Eurogamer (thanks
Frans).
