DOOM 3 in the U.K. [Aug 13, 2004, 11:55 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Long-awaited Doom 3
hits the UK is a BBC article announcing the availability of id's latest in
the U.K. (thanks Mike Martinez). The article discusses the game, as well as the
heightened level of sensitivity to violent games across the pond at the moment
based on the recent murder that some are attempting to connect with Manhunt
(story). In related news,
MCV
reports the possibility of shortages of the new release, quoting U.K. retailers
complaining that they don't have sufficient stock to meet demand, while quoting
Activision defending themselves by pointing out that retailers all over Europe
are being screwed by high demand, and that U.K. retailers are not being singled
out.
Bloody hell.
Sssh! Of course I care a lot about HL2 - HL1 affected my life in very significant ways. But it would never have had the chance to if it weren't for Doom and all the time I spent making maps for that too... Oh, and all the days I spent knowing that I'd never be able to ever create a map as fun or as popular as Q2DM1 (+ Erazor bots!) until I was in my late twenties, and only if I could get into id, and even then only if I could ever match the skill of Lord R Gray, Sir A McGee or Sir T Willits. I know that won't happen.
id make awesome games, but I might give this one a miss, even if I did just pay £26 for it.
