It doesn't look what was expected after John Carmack's interview. But it does looks very good for sure.

Actually these leaked images are from an early build. The final version will look much better for sure.

Actually Carmack said tht Doom would look double the rage so you can see that expectations would be very high.

Most probably but I can't confirm it. Carmack said in interview that doom 4 would use double the pixel res than rage and also would look twice eye candy. So you can get the idea what I am talking about.

^^ofcourse but its a longtime for idtech5 now..if gameranands statement twice the visual candies of rage is correct then they must be implementing radical changes to idtech5 ..or maybe id soft is trying to give hint about idtech6

valve was never into the league of making games with ground breaking visuals unlike crytek or id or epic.

their gameplay matters much more than visuals. all of their games are awesome.i like portal most.

btw..its time for a source to get update too!!!

too much GORE but the lighting effects are good. this means "stay away from the dark" :)
Actually Carmack said tht Doom would look double the rage so you can see that expectations would be very high.

from wikipedia:
On August 1, 2008, John Carmack, the co-founder and technical director of id Software said that Doom 4 will look three times better than Rage does

I think they will be using new and updated engine for this game.

optimized much like Cryengine 2 for Crysis & Warhead. Most likely bug fixes and optimized for providing better effects at same system specs.

idtech6???

maybe idtech 5.1 or 5.2 though at the user/media level they'll address it as idtech5 only.

Look at valve engine. So many years and still going. :)

Source engine is updated frequently. Look at the games Valve developed at Wikipedia. Each game have an updated engine but is referred to just as source engine.

valve was never into the league of making games with ground breaking visuals unlike crytek or id or epic.

Half Life games are unbeatable at release time. Though at this moment Crysis2 or Rage blows away any HL game.

their gameplay matters much more than visuals. all of their games are awesome.i like portal most.

Absolutely correct. Their engine is so well optimized that you never feel like playing cause you never have to force something. Portal 2 behaves exactly the way one wants to.

btw..its time for a source to get update too!!!

Wikipedia still lists the 2011 engine. maybe with the release of DOTA 2 or maybe CS Global we'll have the 2012-2013 version of the engine. BTW they are not going for top spot but to offer the best in every dept. with cloth simulation, Half Life 2 EP3 (i hope they use cloth simulation) will be the rock :grin:

i agree.....btw, valve is planning on a source update...read it on polycount forum.

great. will be interesting to see what new tech they add to their engine.

Oh boy I was wrong it was three times. Thanks for correcting me sam. I wonder what that even means because I was blown away by rage graphics.

As for valve no one knows when hf 2 ep3 will release. There are only rumours.

Looks a lot like HL. I don't know, but Rage was similar to Fallout/Borderlands/Stalker and this looks similar to HL. I wonder what the next Quake will be like?

Portal 2 was a one such game in which i never even tired to notice the texture res or details or lightning...all there was the fun..wheately..best game character..and now when i try to recall my experience ..all i remember is a never forgettable fun ride.!!!

Valve's source engine has its own way of getting things done.

Its more like a medium to achieve higher game values, rather than show-off stuff.:wink:

Take team fotress 2 for instance...the comic style rigid colour texture models and basic lightning is hardly anything to talk about yet when you are in ,
it can be so good that you might be willing to give up on your BFBC:2 MP eye candy experience(not bf3 though:mrgreen:)

It was the setting on Mars and the atmosphere there that made it scary for me. The feeling of loneliness strayed on Mars was not gleaming of hope either.

Earth is so common, I saw it in Crysis 2, Rage and every other shooter.

Yup doom 3 had that scary ambience all the time. A foreign planet, scarcity of oxygen (some levels), less ammo all added up to amplify the fear level.

Till this day, doom 3 is considered to be one of the top 10 most scary games of all time.

I really hope doom 4 retains that fear factor and not become just another typical shooter.

Have you seen earth crawling with demons and other horrible things from hell?

I'd sure love to see it.

earth or planet - it does not really matter if the devs can make it good - it should be more scary than the previous one ;-)

Other planet is good. I mean we always play games which takes place on earth so a change would be nice.

Exactly. Horror means dark environment.

But that doesn't mean it has to be in some other planet. It can be dark here on earth as well. Ever heard of the "Fatal frame series" ? Its not an fps though.

Although doom 4 might take place on earth, i think there will be portals allowing inter dimensional travel. Most probably HELL....:twisted:

Yes, effects like fog, netherworld transformation in Silent Hill and weather changes in Alan Wake surely did bode of evil presence.

nicely said guys - so Dark Sector, Silent Hill and Resident Evil 4 ( though not all the time it was in dark ), Undying, can be considered as scary games but none of them are like doom 3 - two good scary FSP game in dark environment is Nosferatu - The wrath of malachi and CB's Jericho - just play'em for once ;-)

Oh oh you got me cornered. I have nothing to say. You win. Actually didn't thought about these games while writing that post. I thought about DS, FEAR, DOOM, AITD, AW etc. :D:p
