And the doom 3 alpha build was a last minute rush job for E3. With lots of filler textures and missing shaders.

really thats funny since OPENGL DOESNT USE SHADERS!!!!

Either you are blantantly showing your ignorance or you are calling him out on a minor technicality in that OpenGL uses Fragment programs which are equivalent to shaders. If you are calling him out...you need to find some new hobbies.

Here's a vote for Far Cry...

From what I've seen of Doom 3 it's indoors, dark, and doesn't have much color. Sounds like a better looking repeat of what we've already seen from the Doom/Quake series already. Oh, but wait, it's The Carmack's project (insert f@pping sounds)... :roll: :confused:

Far Cry may not be perfect but it's a pretty good game and it actually got released without a bunch of hype or missed release dates (cough, HL2/Doom3, cough).

All that said, I'll probably still get it once it gets down to $39.99 or less. No way I pay the $59.99 retail I saw listed before.

Far Cry is very nice, but the Doom3 engine is tops - the lighting will amaze you. I did get a chance to play the Deathmatch version they had at last year's QuakeCon - which was amazing looking.

I played Stalker at E3 this year - and wasn't impressed at all - though the sniper weapon was the best one I have ever seen.

Do you want to qualify that. What do you consider advanced? Unreal 3 engine?

I will explain it to you once Doom3 is out and I can do side by side comparisons of lighting, character models, and textures. Especially character models...
