Doom3 and Half-Life link found!
OK, don't hold your breath.
I'm looking at the screenshots on the Doom3 website, when I see this one:  ...and I think to myself "shouldn't Gordon Freeman be using that anti-mass spectrometer on his anomalous materials?" Anybody else see the resemblance? ------------------------------ |

Just about... thought by the title that you had found links for the games themselves.....
If cars had followed the same developmental path as computers, a Rolls Royce would cost £60, get a million miles per gallon and explode once a year, killing everyone inside.

 Maybe the ID just got bored with trying to come up with their own ideas, as that takes longer than stealing someone elses

well tbh it looks compleatly different. infact, didnt unreal2 (the single player thingyer) have a thing like this aswell..? (I got stuck at that part i think, stupid AI scientist got stuck in the doorway, and it wouldnt let me kill him!)
and also half life being based on q2 engine, a *lot* of ideas were borrowed, I would see it the other way round... HL2 is going to be ****e anyway, scripted fps with no storyline, just improved physics (havok engine - also used in mp2) and graphics. I expect a compleat lack of decent storyline from HL2, while atleast I know doom3 has a *LOT* of potential to be scary! |

I'm not going to base an opinion on any game untill it is launched and I play it. I can't see how anyone else can, even from demo's (though there are some exceptions!). DOOM has always been 'quite' scary (well it was when I first played it, I was young and didn't expect it!), but there's no way you can say that DOOM3 will be better without playing it, surely? How do you know this?

 Personally, I think they're both going to be dissapointing.

Graphically, they both look stunning... but as nobody really knows anything about how they play at the moment, I can't see how anyone can judge.
 Personally, I never judge games by just looking at them or listening to what other people say about them as people's taste's are just so different.

SD is right on one point, doom3 is fkin scary - just play the alpha, i think its map 3 when you go just start and one of those big 'lots of eyes' gits jumps out at you, or when the big whale on legs things bursts out of the wall..i nearly crapped myself playing it

Well, I'm no mod, but nobody should be talking about leaked versions on here.
This thread was supposed to be about a humerous link between two items in two games, but it's turned into people who seem to base their opinions on conjecture and hearsay arguing over whether games that are not out yet are good or not. ------------------------------ |

I agree Unts, but I was told once that the discussion of them is ok, but to link them or say where to get them (even though we all know) isn't. Saying that, someone posted some screenies of Windows Longhorn once and that was removed, even though he didn't say where he got it.
Sorry for going OT though...
