Which just goes to show that the engine doesn't make the game ... content quality:quantity do.

It's very sad really. But it isn't John Carmacks fault. You know, we always associate one guy with
everything good and bad about a project or game, whereas it's always a team effort.

Doom 3, *almost* defined a new genre of game. A game
which could have been an heir to those wonderful movies by John Carpenter. Unfortunately, it blew it.
Totally. Up until you start on that mindless

LOOP
enter_room()
lights_go_out()
monster_jumps_out_behind_you()
switch_to_gun() // too slowly
kill_monster()
END;

stuff, it's almost superb...

I hope he stops playing with those goddammn amateur rockets (in the worst sense of amateur)
and focusses on doing what he's good at...
(But, a warning to those who are complacent. He
just might make a new games engine that the other John.C could make horror movies with).

I for one await Quake 4 with baited breath...
(This time, Raven doesn't have any excuses...).
