#

the scariness of doom 3 goes away hard when you realize just how much ammo the game dumps on you

#

also learning how to use the shotgun right

#

run up fast and point blank to delete enemies

#

especially during their spawn in animation

@outer hare you could use the ducktape mod.

What if Raven Software was to make a DOOM 3 sequel?

scenic stratus
#

I would pre-order it day one

gusty hazel
#

its called Quake 4

#

and sad to say Raven's basically COD map slaves at this point

quasi silo
#

I am asking for a DOOM 3 sequel, not a DOOM 3-style game

gusty hazel
#

well neither are happening given Raven is in the CoD mines for years now

quasi silo
#

Unfortunately correct, another one of my boys Treyarch is down there too so I have lost hope long since

what game engine was doom made in?

# lofty shuttle best game in the world doom

My understanding is that the original doom games, were just written in C straightup. While they were eventually called idtech1, doom1 and doom2 weren't really designed from or to be an engine initially.

quasi silo
#

Correct, but

#

Hexen is id Tech 1

#

And I'd call it TNC instead of Wolfenstein 2, Wolf2 is a popular name for Wolfenstein 2009

#

You also missed a few games, alongside the whole Wolf3D engine

quasi silo
#

Yes. I would also cut out the x.? ones because of how it's hard to tell when an engine is updated and when it isn't, it makes the list overly confusing

#

Yes but if you bother to list those out you'd also likely have to list the id Tech versions from stuff like Quake I Enhanced

#

They use the same engine as a basis, you can add a * to games that use a modified engine but other than that I'd keep it in one

#

Also you gave TNC a new entry engine but not Heretic? 🄓

quasi silo
#

Ah yeah I see now

#

They are still changes, changes that make enough of a difference to the average person. But I'm not knowledged in renderers so I won't really say anything more than that, because I have no idea what I am talking about lol

#

Well whatever the different engines are and how you consider them, my main concern for the list is clarity, which is why I suggested shortening it down in the first place

#

So I'd do it like you said, only add the game that kicked the engine off, maybe keep the x.? ones, that's up to you

#

Well since you're listing id renderers now instead of just replying to a question about DOOM's engines, I'd throw in Wolf3D šŸ˜›

#

Not really

#

The difference between the two is that nobody gives a shit about Catacombs, and Wolf3D is still just as beloved as DOOM

#

It was instrumental to the FPS genre as a whole, Catacombs was more of a tech demo with a very limited release, while Wolf3D was a full-blown start-to-finish game instead of just a showcase of what they can do

#

So I'd throw in Wolf3D

#

60 is still good imo

#

But I'm one of those people who is just used to 60fps and doesn't care for anything higher lol

#

My monitor is 60hz, I capped my framerate in every game at 60, I can survive 30, so high FPS to me is not a necessity at all

#

I have no idea what any of that means but good for you sir

#

Again I have zero clue what this means but good for you I think

#

GTX 1650

#

At least that's what Task Manager says

#

@acoustic path New game gets a new id tech number. so dark ages is id tech 8 plus the enjine got updated with new tech.

quasi silo
#

It's a pattern but you can't know for sure if TDA is 7 or 8

lofty shuttle
#

so they have their own engine, ok

scenic stratus
#

Interesting

young matrix
#

TDA is idtech8 iirc

scenic stratus
#

@quasi silo yes it seems like a pattern but I was told by a id software QA employee, who happens to be my best friend Aaron. Plus the German studio that has ex crytek employees work on the engine.

#

Me too I love big open spaces/more demons etc

#

Probably new consoles only idk. PC first IMO. I'm sure it'll run really good on PC anyway.

#

I say. 4k 60. Will see when it releases.

scenic stratus
#

@quasi silo OK you'll just have to wait til I'd tech 8 dark ages releases. Or new information and they say which engine #.

I haven't used a PSVR in a few years cause my stepdad sold it and the PS4 for a PS5 that basically only he uses

I wanted to see if this happened to anybody else or just me

#

But basically I never had played Doom 3 before, I started last month after getting the platinum for Eternal

#

PS4 version

#

And boy did this game give me the worst motion sickness I ever had in a videogame, and I never have those

#

The graphics and art direction are very nice for a remastered 2004 game

#

But in any FOV, it just makes my head hurt

#

Not sure if it's a combo of the game's graphics + too much dark levels + 60 fps + first person view

#

But yeah, I stopped playing the game afterwards and the nausea went away

DOOM 3 is not doom sure all doom games have horror elements but there not actual horror games unlike DOOM 3

By that logic, DOOM Eternal is not a DOOM game

As a game that went in on a semirealistic art style and theoretically more realistic lighting, I could definitely see this game benefit from a) graphical overhaul and b) actually implementing the lean mechanic they wanted

Recently bought an OG Xbox version Doom 3 on a disk, now if only I had an actual console to play it on--
I've also managed to play a bit of it on PC using an emulator, but there are a lot of issues, especially with sound sources not having any falloff (they just keep playing at full volume until you get out of the speaker's range then the sound from it suddenly stops), really breaks the immersion. Visually, it's pretty bearable!

What is the Doom 3 equivalent of the Gamemap command to start the server with a new map from Quake II? I've tried Spawnserver, but it seems to only be for Multiplayer.

The unidentified area between Primary Excavation and Hellhole makes me dream of a Quake remake. Is there any conversion of Quake 1 maps to Doom 3, with monsters and textures, etc? Other than Shambler's Castle, which seems too converted to me.

as someone who just completef doom 3 for the first time, i think it's very funny how despite doom 16 shifted doom back to faster-paced boomshoot combat it takes so much in its tone, environment n lore from doom 3

im wondering what made Doom 3 different from doom 2

icy saddle
quasi silo
#

They are completely different lol

livid wharf
#

Trying out the Weapons of Mars Destruction mod, and it’s a significant improvement so far. In particular I like that it makes the shotgun a short range weapon instead of a melee weapon. Also the sound is more impactful

livid wharf
#

It occurred to me today that Doom 3’s early levels wouldn’t feel half as empty if the basic zombie could do a bit more. I’m not sure how much of a boost would be needed to make them feel relevant, but they would need to be at least a little faster and have enough of an attack to at least be harder to punch/bashlight to death

acoustic acorn
#

Maybe the thought process was "they are balanced around jumping you from the shadows"? Maybe it'd be better if they were faster. They already do a huge chunk of damage but are too slow to capitalize on it

livid wharf
#

Yup. Too slow of movement and their attack is also too slow

#

Maybe have their move speed be close to Doomguy’s base movement and they try to attack almost as soon as you’re in range (the animation itself isn’t all that slow, but there’s a significant delay before they try to hit you)

acoustic acorn
#

Something in that direction cuz at this point even punching zombis feels like a waste of time

livid wharf
#

It’s hard for me to get bored of punching demons, but yeah it’s not great

tidal snow
#

bro there’s this weird ass glitch in ressurection of evil where the monorail noclips through the gate and you get stuck (this is after beating the second hunter) It made me start the game over, so pissedšŸ’€

#

Can you reload an earlier autosave to fix it?

#

sometimes if scripted scenes have wonky physics, locking the framerate can help. This works in a couple games, Evil within is an example

Doom 3 is more on the Horror side

it's a completely different game. More focused on a horror theme, tight corridor shooting

The lighting system?

icy saddle

#

Do the later games have that?

#

Is that like a big thing

acoustic acorn
# ionic mural Imma pretend like I understand the significance of that

check out the E3 teasers when you get a chance. It's the light that they showcased. Real time lighting refers to there being light sources placed by the map maker that then calculate how the light will travel in the game world using the engine. Doom1/2 uses sector lighting. This is where every bit of geometry has a designated light level. Light sources don't exist. Light doesn't "travel" or "shine" but is instead a parameter for a piece of land. Doom3's tech is impressive for its time and a major precursor for more modern raytracing. Personally, I like the freedom that classic's sector lighting gives to the designer. Why restrict yourself to realistic lighting?

livid wharf
#

Both have strengths and weaknesses. I’m currently working on my Doom 3 playthrough with the Weapons of Mars Destruction mod, but after that I’m planning to play the Phobos campaign mod and see what their mix of action and horror looks like

#

The main advantage of realistic lighting is that it makes selling a space as somewhere that could reasonably exist a lot easier, though using Doom to showcase that is an interesting choice to say the least

acoustic acorn
#

They both have a place

livid wharf
#

What’s the intended method for the shield bois? I tried a few things but the only solution I got to work was rushing in with a chainsaw and accepting that I was going to take a bunch of damage

livid wharf
#

So I just tried grenades and got that to work with some difficulty (I find them so hard to aim)

vale wharf
livid wharf
#

I don’t really like the Doom 3 shotgun, but I’m currently playing with the ā€œWeapons of Mars Destructionā€ mod that tightens the spread a little bit (I didn’t really understand the specifics but something about giving it the properties of the Quake 4 shotty). It’s still a very close range weapon but is more consistent so you don’t have to get into melee range to reliably oneshot foes, just almost melee range

Hello. I have been playing classic Doom 3 through Good Old Games. The version it seems to be installing is 1.3.1.1304. I just discovered that there is a security vulnerability in Doom 3 engine/Punkbuster combination software. Does anybody know about this?

#

i love doom 3 because you can reload in the game unlike the other games

earnest matrix
acoustic acorn
#

He's saying that he can reload

earnest matrix
#

I never played the earlier Doom games, well, maybe tried them but never really played them so I wouldn't know about that.

acoustic acorn
#

Classic doom doesn't really have reloading as a mechanic

earnest matrix
#

The introduction of reloading concept along with the animations is a good thing. It adds to the realism and sense of urgency in the game when you are under fire especially.

#

Most FPS have this today and for the past 15+ years I would guess.

livid wharf
#

I’m fine with or without reloading. It can be a little annoying when you have a bunch of different weapons that all use reloading but as you said it can also add tension (and can be a way to gently discourage overreliance on one weapon).
I started playing through the Phobos mod today. It combines Doom 3’s core mechanics and monsters with a bigger emphasis on action and reworks the weapons, all for a new campaign going on parallel to the main game. The biggest improvement is to the shotgun, which still has the normal clip, reloading, etc but now is effective even if the target isn’t within 5 feet, instead having an effective range of maybe 20 feet. All of the weapons are buffed though, but Phobos is still not an easy mod as enemies are way more numerous (the first level for example has an arena with 2 floors and something like 15 demons running around including every enemy type used in the first level)

I honestly can't see myself going back to play the older titles beyond the release of DooM 3 and that's even going far back enough but the thing is the graphics at the time of DooM 3's release we're generational leaps and bounds above anything released before that. I think. But that's because id software was releasing Quake games in between also, iirc.

# wraith pumice would you guys say the og xbox port of Doom 3 looks good?

It really IS an incredible Port, it has also been developed along Side Doom 3 for the PC i think. They had to Split some Sections with loading Screens and stuff, and some Textures are Just completely black sometimes, which you wont really noticed that easily, Cuz the Games Atmosphere IS Dark in general. I still think its a great Port and also possibly one of my favorite Xbox Classic Games of all time!

My idea is to port over some of the BFG Edition textures, and give some variety to the audio and Demon Designs with a balanceed Mix of the Classic Style, Doom 3 style and Modern Doom Styles

I think the Phobos mod is kinda what I wish Doom 3 had been, and it’s very much the general direction I wish the modern games had gone. The action is fast and crowd control is important but the horror angle isn’t gone outright, ammo management isn’t hard but if you overrely on just 1 or 2 weapons you’ll run into problems, arena combat and incidental combat are both regular features, and exploration meaningfully exists

So are the doomslayer and the doom3 protagonist the same person from different universes, or different people from the same universe

acoustic acorn
#

Doom3guy is just a guy and isn't the doom2 doomguy. idk if modern doom's doomslayer is related to doom2's doomguy

I totally personally think that Doom 3 is a part of the modern timeline

#

Mars City and its surrounding complexes are on a different side of Mars from the Argent facilities and basically just becomes abandoned And uninhabitable by the events of 2016

And In Resorection of Evil ||You end up Shutting down all the power, including Life support to open a portal to hell|| So I think that Connects to the events of 2016

Imagine doom 3 if bergtruger was not evil

#

We would just be a normal marine

livid wharf
#

He wasn’t evil at first. He went on an expedition into hell and was mentally altered by the experience. Also the whole demon attack would’ve probably still happened as it was caused by exposure to Hell energy

Oh Oker

#

I think the whole timeline thing is weird and silly tbh. Outside of direct sequels (meaning Doom 2, Eternal, and I guess Doom 64?) I treat each game as unrelated to the others

quasi silo
#

How is it weird?

vale wharf
#

2016 feels like a sequel to 3, same esthetic, and u play as the hero from that sacrophagus at the end of 3

livid wharf
#

Doom has never really been about the story for one. The story is a justification rather than the focus.
Also I never really understood how people fixate over fictional timelines and treat them as history and try to ā€œfigure outā€ how a thing works from taking everything from the story literally instead of treating as, well, a story, meaning not everything has to be literal and Doom 1, 3, and 2016 being 3 tellings of the same story makes at least as much sense as them being parallel universes or different people in the same timeline millions of years removed or whatever

#

Like you could read Doom 3 as being a telling shortly after the Hell on Earth incident where most of the specifics are clear and things are kinda grounded, the classic games are a telling from later when most of the details are forgotten, and the newer games are those stories becoming more and more embellished until it’s basically a new myth altogether

quasi silo
#

You don't have to understand it, I don't care about the story either, but I wouldn't call it 'weird'

#

For a lot of people figuring out the tid-bits is a fun activity, even maybe a hobby for some

livid wharf
#

Yeah I guess

rain flame
#

does anyone still play BFG edition multiplayer ? I can't find any matches. I just bought the game 2 days ago

quasi silo
#

What platform

rain flame
#

PC

quasi silo
#

Ah yeah that's dead there then

rain flame
#

Why is it like that though ? Most classic games have functioning multiplayers on consoles but they're dead on PC

quasi silo
#

Most games are dead on console and alive on PC lol

#

This game is just dead because barely anyone plays it nowadays

#

The console versions for this game are dead too, but on Xbox you can host a match on TrueAchievements at least

livid wharf
#

AFAIK Doom 3’s multiplayer is similar enough to Quake’s that you can probably get a similar experience in one of the Quake games and they have significantly more activity

quasi silo
#

Kind of, but the novelty of it being DOOM 3 makes it interesting enough

rain flame

#

There's a TrueSteamAchievements but nobody uses it

#

There's probably DOOM 3 discords you can join to join matches

rain flame
quasi silo
#

Yeah but this server won't provide that

#

This channel is almost always used as basicaly the central for "doom 3 isn't a doom game" "well actually..." so nobody is LFGing here

#

I recommend looking for a dedicated server

rain flame
quasi silo
#

(It's a DOOM game btw)

rain flame
#

Yeah, sure it is...

#

From what I have seen and played till now, older doom games can also be as scary as doom 3 if we replace the music or remove it (like doom 3) and reduce the player speed.

quasi silo
#

The big thing that sets them apart is age

rain flame
quasi silo
#

DOOM 3 is a lot fresher than Classic DOOM, and believe it or not, but DOOM I often went for horror, and it was probably way scarier at the time, we just don't notice it now because the game doesn't seem all that realistic and immersive anymore

#

DOOM 3 is crisper in every way when it comes to that, including immersion, so it's scarier by modern standards

rain flame
#

True

#

People see newer ones like 2016 and Eternal and mistake them as the definition of doom

livid wharf
#

I like the older games better overall, but they definitely can’t compete in terms of atmosphere

quasi silo
#

DOOM I was a mix of action and horror, and horror was embraced more (DOOM 3) before the action was (DOOM 2016), so by technicality, the series revolves around horror, boom, 2016 and Eternal are not DOOM

rain flame
quasi silo
#

I really find it funny how often DOOM 3 being the black sheep because of horror is brought up, like if id Software has ever made a consistent game series

livid wharf
#

I don’t think any Doom game has bad atmosphere but the first 2 are working with pretty limited tools and very abstract environments

rain flame
quasi silo
#

DOOM 3 does a lot of things different

#

A lot of people go "reloading in MY DOOM game???" but then...

#

But then they praise the SSG

#

The entire gameplay balance regarding the SSG is the reloading animation lol

rain flame
#

yeah, I hope id makes more doom games as different as 3

quasi silo
#

I want MachineGames to tackle a DOOM 3 remake or sequel

rain flame
#

and most people think it's a downgrade

livid wharf
#

Btw I finished the Phobo mod’s first episode recently and it’s excellent (albeit very hard). It has way more of the chaotic combat with multiple enemy types running around that I wanted more of in Doom 3, and it makes every gun feel better to use (the shotgun is definitely most improved though)

rain flame
quasi silo
#

If not a remake then remaster it then, but don't just slap barely anything on it like Nightdive, do with it like what they did with Crash Bandicoot

livid wharf
#

The main negative change was fewer enemies spawned into levels (Doom 3 already is a bit low on demon count lol)

rain flame
quasi silo
#

I will forever defend the shotgun

rain flame
#

I never fell short of it

quasi silo
#

They should make that a difficulty toggle

rain flame
quasi silo
#

Which you are able to do freely throughout the whole campaign

rain flame
livid wharf
#

I would definitely be interested in a Doom 3 sequel. You could have a Hell of Earth scenario with a bit more of a balance between horror and action with the increase in scale. Also seeing more mundane locations as levels would be really neat

quasi silo
#

I'd really like if they showed us what the TLM marine is up to

outer hare
# quasi silo I will forever defend the shotgun

the shotgun is def not bad imo im mid game and i think its the gun im using the most by far, i find it really useful for cacodemons and for killing enemies after i bait em around corners

quasi silo
livid wharf
#

The shotgun isn’t useless, but it’s definitely frustrating to use

outer hare
#

i can see why they gave it a lot of spread cuz most of the encounters are in smallish corridors

IIRC the spread was increased a bunch late in development due to it being really broken before that

#

im always finding a lot of more machine gun ammo and plasma ammo

livid wharf
#

The chaingun is great for tanky targets. The SMG is more versatile due to not requiring a revving up, having better accuracy, and ammo being way more common for it

outer hare
#

has anyone else here played d3 enhanced edition

#

w/ the ammo rebalance addon

livid wharf
#

I played partway through the game with Weapons of Mars Destruction

outer hare
#

i played up until alpha labs 4 with just d3 ee but then decided i wanted to try out the ammo rebalance addon

#

so i restarted and i think it makes the game a lot better

rain flame
#

Where we get the option to either extend the bridge or activate the system

livid wharf
#

Currently playing with Phobos (alternate campaign that has bigger fights, more reliable weapons all around, more aggressive demons, and level design reminiscent of the better Doom 2 mods), and I’m having a blast with it

outer hare
#

i think i activated the system

#

idrm

rain flame
outer hare
#

i think whatever srg kelly said was dangerous

rain flame
#

that room where we hear that 'they took my baby' and we hear that baby laugh was till now the scariest moment in that game

outer hare
#

brother for me that was the first pinky encounter

#

i was scared shitless and i didnt think i could even kill it so i just ran for my life

#

then when i run into another pinky i realize ok i have to kill this thing

rain flame
#

Yeah those things were real menacing. The way they charged at you was insane

#

They were the only enemy type I use the chaingun on...

there was also this place where we activate a ladder and suddenly the place is full of trites, that was nuts

on his bandcamp "This was the last Nintendo 64 game that I composed. I did a few ports later on but this was the last original. I must admit I never looked back. The N64 was a beast to work with. I did remixes of 2 tracks because there is a nasty bug in the midi music playback system that caused both tracks timing to drift in the game. The bug drove me crazy because it wasn't able to be fixed by the release date. I cringe every time I hear them play in game."

Does anybody play DooM 3 from GoG PC version? It keeps asking for a CD key. It's messed up.

I put my key in and then PunkBuster takes it out for some reason. I think that's who does it. They coded it in the .dll to do that.

i played quake 4 and i see the textures almost the same as doom 3 maybe because there in the same game engine

vale wharf
earnest matrix
# vale wharf If u have both D3 and ROE installed i think you should start them both at least ...

Right now, it's not a big deal to me since I can pull down the console, disconnect and play through the single player game. But it is annoying since I legitimately own the game when it was offered as a gift through Prime membership. I keep putting the key back in the doomkey file and it keeps wiping it out. It's just odd also that I haven't found any mention of this issue on GOG DooM 3 forums.

#

And yes, as far as I know, the GOG version of DooM 3 comes with the included XP. It actually shows that key underneath the empty key space for the original game.

#

Do you know if there is a way to view the keys from the in-game console once it's loaded up?

earnest matrix
#

I didn't even notice if textures were being the same or re-used between the 2 games. It would be interesting to research that now and see how is unique to each game and how much is new material from Quake IV developers. I think Raven Software made that one.

you were on marine difficulty against an early boss and used a decent strategy. Sounds normal to me

Good graphics, good story and you get to play the main character in the movie as you progress along.

holy moly chat. So im playing doom 3 and. Woah. I am not a big fun of horror games but i really enjoy the horror aspect here. It just makes sense yk. No annoying jump scares but when you go through dark corridors and hear some heavy steps or terrifying sounds your palms start sweating a bit n you preparing to shoot whatever that thing is that is coming closer to you. From what i see ppl dont like it but imo it just completes the idea of hell invasion and absolute horror and terror of the situation. coolcaco coolcaco coolcaco

rugged rapids
earnest matrix
#

But to be honest, the graphics are more than good enough for me considering the game was finished over 20 years ago.

livid wharf
#

2016, Eternal, and Dark Ages play completely differently from previous Doom games though. They essentially play more like character action games mixed with Quake than it does like classic Doom (quickswap combos, resource management being a short term juggling act rather than long term logistics, etc are radically unlike classic Doom. Doom 3 is more like a hybrid of classic Doom with Half Life). Dark Ages might skew a bit closer to the older games’ mechanics, but I doubt it.
My main complaint with 3 is that the combat often feels a bit underwhelming (especially in the first third), but it’s not a dealbreaker and I’d be very happy to see more mods like Phobos that ramp up the action while preserving a lot of the Half Life and classic Doom elements like exploration and the pressure to play more tactically

#

Well then, to go back to the original want of playing DooM 3 in the year '24 with better graphics I guess we could try and state explicitly what that means exactly. I've been playing DooM 3 from the beginning using the Dewhm3 modification. And that was basically forced into my DooM 3 ecosystem not by choice but out of necessity of the original DooM 3 version constantly nagging me about a CD key that I had already entered a thousand times but the game keeps literally removing from the doomkey file itself. And that does offer graphical advantages over the original that include wide-screen support if nothing else. I'm sure that somebody has released AI upgraded 4k texture paks for the game also. So, that's something to look into as well.

earnest matrix
#

Firstly, you must own a system that is capable of giving you the eye candy you crave. At the moment, this is not the case for me, since I'm playing DooM 3 on an iGPU, Vega 7 graphics are all I have at the moment. So, for me to want better graphics would do me no good until I upgrade my system with a more powerful discrete graphics card.

vale wharf
#

you can try mods like Doom 3 Redux and Absolute HD

#

once u have a good gpu ofc

earnest matrix
# vale wharf you can try mods like Doom 3 Redux and Absolute HD

I might try those, although, I gotta be honest. I'm very happy with the graphics as they are. I'm actually blown away by how nicely they have held up considering the game was released 20+ years ago. I wonder if GOG did something to make them better than they used to be?

Personally I think Doom 3 is more faithful to the spirit of the classic games than the modern titles are. Modern Doom games have more Quake DNA than classic Doom while Doom 3 is like a mix of Doom 1 and HalfLife.
Plenty of stuff about Doom 3 I’d change (making the shotgun more consistent and having more combat encounters with groups of enemies for some examples) but it’s still a worthy entry in the series

i got DOOM 3 about 3 days ago or so, im already at alpha labs 4 and have the shotgun, machinegun, hand grenades and chaingun

#

its a 7 year gap between Doom 64 and Doom 3 you don't spend 7 years making a spin-off

#

why wouldn't you use your most popular franchise to show off your brand new fancy engine

spice herald
#

i have a slight theory doom 3 is cannon to the main story

#

all the classic games and wolfenstien happen in one universe/demension whatever u wanna call it

#

then doomguy gets sent through demensions by the resurrector into what will be 2016 and eternal. i think doom 3 happens in that new universe just way before doomguy arives

rare phoenix
# spice herald then doomguy gets sent through demensions by the resurrector into what will be 2...

We know Doomguy did appear in the Doom 3 universe though before the events of the game. 2016 and Eternal made the stone tablets in Mars City Underground depictions of the Slayer so he was already established as the Doom Slayer before the events of Doom 3 take place. Doom 3 is semi canon but the UAC in 2016 and Eternal never went to Mars till they had a reason to go there which was to mine Argent and by that point the UAC was already under Samuel Haydens command

#

and he's well you know obviously not in Doom 3

spice herald
#

ik eternal universe was linked someway with doom 3

Can we all agree grenades in this game have the worst bounce physics in videogame history?

#

Weapons of Mars Destruction fixes the grenade physics btw

trim berry
#

Holy shit the shotgunners in this game are insufferable pricks.

#

Why do they get the classic Doom shotgun while I'm stuck with this piece of shit.

#

Sadge days.

vale wharf
#

just rush towards them and one shot kill them with your shotgun

livid wharf
#

IIRC the player’s shotgun was nerfed to its final state near the end of development so I imagine the shotgun zombies are based on a previous version of the weapon

trim berry
#

How does the marine reload the Chaingun?

#

By just... cocking something?

scenic stratus
#

Works every time

trim berry
#

It's near instant too lol. It's hilarious.

I assumed he was just inserting a new rolled up belt that we can’t see clearly

It weirds me out how The Lost Mission ends on a good note.

#

You actually manage to save the scientist and take off with a group of dudes.

I would've appreciated at least a scene of them boarding the thing

I love DOOM 3

I think Doom 3 is the Doom game that most benefits from gameplay mods. The vanilla game is fine but has some rather substantial flaws that many mods have fixed (the big ones are how the shotgun works and that multiple weapons have questionable sound effects, but there’s also more minor stuff like the player character sitting in the uncanny valley without a helmet and there not being a way to preemptively rev up the chaingun)

#

doom 3 is perfect

#

(2004 not bfg)

icy saddle
#

I might try to find some music that doesn't make me have anxiety so I can actually play through Doom 3

#

because I really wanted to like the game but I couldn't play it for more than like 20 minutes at a time

#

-# side rant but I really dislike the pistol sfx tbh

Bruh I can’t get past mars city

#

I think the Maggots are one of the coolest new enemies in Doom 3, especially design-wise

#

two heads, 5 different limbs and knives on the back, it's neat

noble lichen
#

they are cool

#

its not a new monster, but the Hell Knight redesign was definitely goated

Is there someone with doom 3 bfg vr experience (fully possessed mod)? My movement is getting interrupted all the time

#

I have the Insanity Trainer but it doesn't work and I can't remap keys. Does anyone know of a v1.3.1 trainer with Infinite Ammo that works?
In Doom 3 I can't make Infinite Ammo either in configs or by editing .def.

neat sluice
#

Does anybody know if there's a video guide for how to install the doom bfa mod for doom 3 bfg edition? I would ask this in the modding section but I didn't see a section for doom 3. I read the setup guide and there are parts that are confusing to me that's why I was wondering if there was a video and I looked on youtube and nothing came up on it at least on my search engine on youtube.

vale wharf
#

and use that whenever u run out of ammo

#

I sometimes wonder if a no hit doom 3 run is possible , that would be hell

Just killed the second hunter in ROE

#

Shoutout to the artifact for making this fight possible

#

Doom 3 might just be my favorite doom

versed sleet
#

About to buy doom 3, kinda late to the franchise. Which version should I prefer?

#

I've a series x

scenic stratus
#

Your only option is the re-release of the bfg edition

versed sleet
#

okay

quasi silo
scenic stratus
#

Its basically the same thing but with a dead multiplayer mode and two mediocre ports of classic doom

quasi silo
#

And that makes it superior. What is your point?

#

The ports are not mediocre, and you can always get some friends together for the MP

scenic stratus
#

I've never seen anyone defending the bfg edition ports
Damn

quasi silo
#

They're the 360 ports on Xbox

scenic stratus
#

Anyway, what would be the point of playing the 360 version in a lower resolution in a Series X??

quasi silo
#

Is there even any resolution difference though?

scenic stratus
#

4k in the re-release

quasi silo
#

If the guy has no 4K TV then that's pointless

scenic stratus

#

Literally all of these are subjective, the only other one, that being 35 fps, is barely noticeable

This is a demonstration of how the secret Wolfenstein maps in the version of Doom 2 packed with Doom 3: BFG Edition are censored. Unlike previous attempts of censorship which deleted these maps entirely, the maps were retained but with heavy content edits.

If you didn't watch the video:

  • MAP31 "Wolfenstein" has been renamed to "IDKFA"
  • MAP32 ...

Bland as shit

quasi silo
#

We are talking about the 360 version

scenic stratus
#

We are talking about the bfg edition ports

quasi silo
#

You replied with that list to a message where I literally say they are the 360 ports

scenic stratus
#

Well in that case, they arent

quasi silo
#

If we are in a convo about the 360 ports, let's keep it about the 360 ports

scenic stratus
#

You said the bfg edition ports are basically the same as the 360 ports but they are not

quasi silo
#

Point me to where I said that

scenic stratus
quasi silo
#

I am not saying the BFG Edition ports are the same as the 360 ports

#

I am saying the Xbox version of the BFG Edition gives you the 360 ports instead of the BFG ports

#

In conclusion, if you can, get the 360 version @versed sleet

scenic stratus
#

Are you sure those are the 360 ports of classic doom?

quasi silo
#

This is a video of DOOM 3 gameplay though

#

Do you mean the games at the very start, in the game selection screen? @scenic stratus

quasi silo
#

Yeah those are the 360 ports

scenic stratus
#

I've only played the ps3 and pc ports

quasi silo
#

It kind of shows, no offense but you show to not know all that much about the ports we are discussing

#

And I can't blame you, weird that there's platform differences

quick lily
#

Fuck you

#

Respectfully

quasi silo
#

This is gonna look really funny when the spam message gets deleted so it looks like you are saying fuck you to the other message

#

Called it

quick lily
#

Oh yeah

#

Why are the special mechanics of ROE's bosses so obvious??

#

Either I'm a genius, or the game is just revealing itself too much

#

Took me one attempt on the first 2 hunters

quasi silo
#

Idk man I was wondering what to do on two of the four ones

quick lily
#

Then another 2 attempts because achievements got disabled

quasi silo
#

They are obvious to show you what their powers will give you probably

quick lily
#

I love the artifact so much

#

It makes you strong as hell when you have the berserk and helltime

#

Pun intended

quasi silo
#

Artifact makes the RoE guy solo the Slayer

quick lily
#

Truly

quasi silo
#

Everyone calls the Slayer multiversal and nerdy shit like that

#

RoE guy is the real winner here

#

Roe guy is the true doom slayer

Unless you wanna play BFG specifically, I suggest just downloading normal Doom 3 and using the dhewm3 source port @frozen token

i want to use it to play home.wad

icy saddle

You cannot use the BFG port of 1 and 2

frozen token
#

ok

icy saddle
#

Also the BFG IWADs may have compatibility issues as they have some differences from the DOS IWADs

will it still work

takes breath

Doom 3 guy is the most hopeless bitch in the IDverse. Motherfucker takes one point of damage and his neck goes wild, has his legs squished from a 5ft fall, would die in a light hail because his armor does nothing and in a fit of genius chooses to never put on a helmet for protection, has the thinnest stick baby arms you've ever seen, the punches he throws would make Steven Seagal laugh and is so stupid he doesn't think to attach his flashlight to his outfit and instead has to put his weapon away to dumbfoundedly stare at shit like a cockatiel with its gaze fixated on a peanut.
Also he can't even kill a Cyberdemon on his own and a stupid maguffin has to step in like a frightened child calling his mom on the mean kid at the playpen.

#

The fact he survives the invasion is either a testament to how stupid everyone in this game's universe is in the face of crisis or a really elaborate joke. Even in the ending cinematic he just looks like woke up from deep slumber after jacking himself off to exhaustion and had the most badass dream ever while the troopers who actually put in the work had the task of pulling his inept ass off Mars.

#

Actually yeah I'm going with that. Bro was just really eepy and the soldiers woke him up after everyone left because a fire broke out or something and he was the only one left in the complex. And because he's never fired a shotgun before he just guessed it would have the effective range of a blunderbuss.
