the rumor floating around at the time of realease was that is was a friendly ATi employie.....wot a nice man

Steg

Yes sirree a very nice man. I think we owe this guy a few Arturo Fuente Opus X cigars! Who cares if its no way near finished, its your option whether you want to download a leaked copy of a game that isnt in its final condition. I was glad just to get an idea of what the game is going to be like even though I'm sure it will be totally different when it is finished. I had no idea what the game play would be like until I played it, and just with a alpha version I was very impressed. The sound is amazing and scary and the gameplay and physics of the game are just going to be downright mindboggling.

I hope ID Software is one of the first (if not THE first) to create models where when the model is lying down it isnt lying flat but is lying according the ground it is on.. for example in games you see these days if a player/monster dies it falls down at the top of the stairs and its legs hang over the edge and dont bend but lie flat. I hate that, it makes the game seem so unrealistic.

That's called ragdoll. I'm not sure, but I believe Doom III does support that.

Anyone know when this going to be released???

I think i know what you mean by "ragdoll" and didnt No One Lives Forever (the first one) have that?

That game came out like 2+ years ago, so that has been around for a while...

i dont no about NOLF but i no that Doom 3 doesnt have 'ragdoll' in the way we no it - like UT2k3 & U2

doom 3 is supposed to be out in the UK around 29th June - dont no about the US

Steg

I somehow very seriously doubt Doom3 will be out anywhere in June. If it is, then I am buying it from somewhere in UK if I have to FLY there. lol.

Just to put the record straight, the term 'ragdoll' is simply descriptive and not any kind of product or technology. Ragdoll Physics (to give the correct terminology) simply indicates that natural physical movements are modelled on real physics calculations rather than partial calculations or approximations that do not model how real objects behave.

yes - ragdoll is just a descriptice term - the math engine is the ragdoll engine that Unreal Warfare uses....

and yes acidosmosis ur right the realease date (amazon.co.uk) is 29th august....we just have to keep waiting

Steg

UnrealTornament 2003 has "ragdoll" effect, basicaly just means the bones rest on the object directly below them, very effective

(dont you just love throwing yourself down that hole and watching that lovely "ragdoll" effect? watching yourself hitting the beams and foling arround them then slowing falling off onto the next beam )

I have a problem with Doom3 when i extract the RAR file to C: then i run it i get a small grey window apear int he centre of my screen, and it just doesnt do anythin .... anyone else get this/ or know how to fix it?

- MikeY

Yea, you have to download the fix from Kazaa.

I would just like to point out that Kazaa is crap and full of viruses. However if you must go with them, Kazaa Lite is the way to go .

Acid: do you know the file name to search for?

not sure, but if you search for doom 3 you'll come up with the Doom3 file, plus on the list somewhere will be the fix that you need.

hi maybe u had a chance to see other alpha testers shots but these r unique try it 4 urself






Hell knight

spare link



hellknight full figured shot, nicely postured.

The image you linked is not an image. The second link did work though.

the picture is mentioned as unknown cuz the site hosting it got down (hope its temporarily) the 1st link maybe not working cuz its a free server some times down
so try the spare link instead :-)

Can't see any of 'em.

D3? Like in Diablo 3?
That's a hoax.

I guess Doom 3 won't have any Hell Knights.

ok the links at least the second one works 4 me .any way here i bring the picture 4 u to see its the hell knight. and be sure we have hell knight in D3 we even got hell soldies ill post their pic later.

sorry its alittle big and stretches the page but just 4 u to see. try the links again they work

[there was the hell knights big full shot picture here but as long as the link is working i thought maintaining a good page size and easy browsing is more important so i'll bring you another linked shot here instead,you can still browse back and get click on the hellknights preferably spare link and get the full pic]


its something new maybe youve heard about imps,creatures that are fast, jump like hell crawl the walls and grounds shoot u with fire balls and when they get near they rip the players face apart with their hands.



Imps close up shot
