CadetStimpy Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Well, it's not due out until next Spring, but check-out this trailer: Doom 4 Some serious carnage and mayhem in this one (of course)! The graphics look top-notch (be sure to switch to HD). I still have the original Doom (and even the box) on four 3.5" floppies. (I suspect Doom 4 won't fit on 4 floppies. ) It looks so pixelated now, but was cool in its day. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Yea I've been watching E3 the past 3 days. I'm so excited. Watching Nintendo right now. SO EXCITED. Quote
Jason Carr Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Nice. Looks awesome. DOOM holds a very special place in my heart too...embarrassingly I still play the original, usually once a year or so. I still own the floppy version of DOOM II, but the floppies unfortunately went kaput a long time ago. Quote
bd00 Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Yeah, some great stuff at E3. Also, I have fond memories of all the DOOM games, hopefully this one will uphold that tradition. Quote

CadetStimpy Posted June 17, 2015 Author Posted June 17, 2015 Was Doom the 1st FPS game, or was it Wolfenstein (or something else entirely)? I remember some people saying it made them dizzy, or something like that, when they played Doom. Considering the graphical improvements the games have made in the last 2+ decades, it makes me wonder what will be lookin' at in another 20 years. Graphics Card technology seems to improve every 6 months (or whatever), but we must be nearing the pinnacle of perceivable clarity in the 2D realm. For me, anyway, on a reasonably sized screen (not this one (500mx32m)), I don't believe I'll be able to detect much greater clarity than is currently available. I suppose in the VR arena is where we'll see the crazy improvements in the next decade (or less). Ya gotta love it! Quote
Jason Carr Posted June 18, 2015 Posted June 18, 2015 Wolfenstein 3D was the first (popular) 3D shooter. There were earlier games from Id (like Catacomb Abyss) and I believe some others as well, but they were all too crappy to really go anywhere. Wolfenstein 3D is another guilty pleasure of mine. ;) Quote
