I have to say that HL2 pwns Doom3's ass, if only because it will be more than a technology demo, which is all that idsoftware is capable of doing; making engines. Hopefully somebody will apply a game worth playing to this doom3 engine, and then we can really talk![]()
Half-life packed more game play than all that idsoftware has done in the past decade. I said they're an engine shop because they are. Did you even play doom? Doom 2? Quake? Q2? Q3? In fact let me ask you if you've played only one of them, because if you have, you've played them all. Idsoftware's take on gaming is to throw more detail into it with better graphics, but the graphics in my garage are a hell of a lot better and you don't see me playing in there all day because it's boring and tedious - just like everything idsoftware makes now.Originally posted by: CubicZirconia

Oh yeah, because Valve has made so many great games. There's half life, then there's half life, then there's half life for ps2, and you can't forget half life. And of course there's always half life. Valve's impressive lineup of half life, half life, half life, and half life completely outdo everything Id has ever done. I mean, what games has Id really made? Doom? Who played that game? And the quake series, now those games really sucked ass.
In summary, saying that all Id is capable of doing is making engines is just stupid. To say that Doom 3 will be only a technology demo is even stupider. It's bordering on insanely bleeping idiotic.

HL2 demo blows this thing away. Out of the water. It shows that their technology is up to snuff, and unlike idsoftware they actually understand the importance of at least SOME story. Hell, Q3 didn't even TRY and have a story. It wasn't even a poorly written paragraph at the beginning of the game.

Yeah I guess you got me with the racing and NHL argumentsNot all games need a story. Q3 was just a deathmatch game. NHL 2004 is just a hockey game. Then there's racing games, etc etc.
Demo this, screenshots that, let the released game tell the story.
Link It will still need a new vid card at some point, but I've patched my non-gaming problem for nowwhat did you end up putting in you new beast?
