You can't speak on behalf of the rest of the boards. :smash There's got to be at least one other person that isn't excited about Doom 3. It's just a FPS, it's not going to be groundbreaking.

yes, it will

I'm not impressed really. I am waiting for HL2 but that's because it looks to have a more kick ass story and more variety.

I disagree.

There will be a crosshair in the middle of the screen, when you move the mouse, that crosshair will move, combine this with the left click on the mouse and you have a first person shooter. That's how it's been for over ten years and no new texture mapping is going to impress me.

Maybe I'm overly negative, but I haven't been able to enjoy a FPS since I came to this conclusion, back when the WWII game onslaught began.

Yes, and you are just another person with two arms, two legs, and a brain, just like pretty much everybody else.

Hey, all I'm saying is FPS is a simple genre, with little room for innovation, and does not hold my interest. Obviously everyone disagrees. Why don't you counter with a comment that proves me wrong, instead of just twisting my words around?

mountaindud - this is Doom we're talking about-- why are you even thinking about a stupid crosshair?

While I do agree with you that FPS games have gotten a bit stale, and I don't think Doom III is going to set the world on fire (at least not to the extent that the original did), the same argument could be made about many game genres. Personally, I don't think a game needs to be incredibly innovative, as long as it's fun. People have complained in the past that all platformers are the same, or that all shmups are the same. Yet both genres are still fun to play. I feel the same way about FPS games. My point was merely that Doom III is not 'just another FPS'.

I'm with mountaindud. I couldn't give a rat's arse about Doom III.

The crosshair wasn't the point.

Fair enough. I see where you were coming from.
