Serious Sam kicks Doom's ass. Doom barely had that many mosters coming at you at one given time. The monsters never jumped out at you, Everytime I've seen a monster they were right in front of me. ooooo!!! Serious Sam had monster popup all over the place. SS just kicked ass!

You oughta have your tongue cut out. Doom was what created such a demand for FPSs. Read Masters of Doom, id Software has made over $100 million from Doom. You tell me what fans what more.

Well, you're comparing a 10 year old game to... a 1-2 year old game. Play "tricks and traps", I think that's MAP07 or MAP08 on Doom2. Turn on nightmare mode. Have fun trying to kill a room full of 500 of those goat rocket launcher things.

yea its possible. scary doesn't just mean hoards of enemies. if you aren't uber armed and the monsters are smarter and the enviroments more realistic and your movement more realistic.. creeping around so vulnerable is scary.

The 9th Guest or whatever it was called and also Alone in the Dark? were about the only 2 games I've ever been scared playing. I was real young though. Doom never scared me, I just thought it was fun.

I too, unfortunately, agree that Doom III doesn't promise to be like the original: story, slow-paced, zombies? I guess the only thing to look forward to is its graphics engine. I'm sure it will be pretty fun but I don't want to play an FPS Resident Evil.

Wanna bet that Doom 3 will have monsters other than zombies (and faster ones)? Just because you havn't seen pictures of them yet doesn't mean they won't be in the game. Play the whole game, then complain about it.

I know the monsters are going to be great. The Hell Knight looked incredible as well as the Demon, Imp and zombies. I'm looking forward to seeing the Arch-Vile the most. I saw some Arachnotrons in a screenshot so they look pretty creepy, like out of "The Thing". I think the worst looking baddie was the Lost Soul; the concept art looked bitch-ass but the models look like sh!t, WTF Fredo? Low poly counts on spherical objects = the suck. I guess that's partially Carmack to blame.

how do i add MM2 to jdoom? if i play the .exe that came with MM2, it runs painfully slow because im in XP

Solved: just add the mm2.wad to the DooMII's WADs section in the launcer.

you guys gotta try aliens vs predator and AVP2 as the Marine. It's pitch black dark, you hear screeches every so often, and you have this crappy ass radar that shows a bunch of weird movement in the darkness. The surround sound echoes all the sounds around you, and you know that there's a hoard of aliens out to eat your head. If you're lucky, a predator will hit you with a spear from afar and you'll die a quick, merciful death. Then suddenly you look down to see white dots moving all around you. You look up and *crunch* You're dead.

Graphics can't compensate for lack of story. I don't care how good they are. Stupid people compensate for lack of story, and simple minded people let graphics compensate for poor gameplay, poor replay value, and a poor storyline. That is why such games as a certain popular xbox game are at a "cult" level, with people getting peeved when they read posts like mine.

gameplay can make up for lack of story though😉 whats the story in counterstrike again? 😉

AvP2 is the only game in recent times to scare me, and it even scares multiplayer. Try getting a few friends together, one squad of marines vs aliens. Or a hunter pred vs a couple of marines. And it's not a radar it's the motion sensor from the movies. The damn pulsing can add to the tension too.

 

You were younger and less desensitized to violence and other assorted good stuff.

 

[yellowperil]

Aliens vs. Predator 2 on the marine missions is a good scare. Better than the original Doom when it first came out IMO. Play it in the dark with headphones on 🙂

Games segued from a largely personal experience to a more social experience. Instead of following levels and a storyline, you joined a server and played against actual people. In this case, gameplay is what makes a game successful, not a storyline. I don't remember the storyline of Quake2 at all, but I remember the gameplay owned me. I don't remember the story of Tribes, but I remember the gameplay, huge maps, and vehicle interaction owned me.

I vote for gameplay.

Doom never scared me much... there was a game that had me jump out of my seat a few times.... can't remember the title at the moment though... I do remember that while playing the game, I was looking at my character's face in a mirror and a ghostlike character suddenly showed up behind me (in the mirror).... with the 3-D sound... I almost did piss my pants as I spun around in my seat, only to remember I was playing a computer game.

pretty crazy if you ask me! all the levels are revamped, but the enemies and projecties are still original (pixelated) only get 80 so frames avg, compared to 200 like before 🙁
