For some reason, waiting for this has lost made me lose my intrest... Doom III was cool, but idunno, lately it just seems boring. Maybe Quake 4 will be better (Counting down the days till Halo 2)

But to stay relativly on topic, is there any list of things the SDK lets you do? Like very detailed info?

now that the doom 3 sdk is released

[I(rispee_I(reme]

perhaps the quake 3 engine source will be released. seening how past id games have been opensourced once the new id engine is out and on the prowl.

Re:With...

I have seen VS Express 2005 and have to agree. But with Doom3 for linux out I should think that it would be apropriate (sp?) with a SDK that works under linux.

You're stupid

I cringe every time I hear the thing about Id selling tech demos as games every time the come out with a new engine. Can you really tell me which game you're talking about?
Quake 1 was everything anyone would have expected from a shooter when it came out and apparently was good enough that people still play it multiplayer, and still make mods for it.
Quake 2 is, or at least was, alot of people's favorite straight up single player shooter, it's got a lot of very well thought out levels. Again, people still play it online.
Quake 3 is probably still the most well-balanced online shooter on the market, and has created a large still very loyal fan base.
Doom 3 reaks of atmosphere, and if you sat down and gave it some real time to play, it can scare the crap out of you. Anyone who's played it through can tell it was a serious labor of love from the guys at Id.
Just because a game doesn't have a intricate story, or enemies that use squad tactics against you, doesn't mean that it's not a good game. People who think games need those things are the ones who are messing up the game industry. I want a fun game, some times I do want a game where I have to think about my every step, sometimes I just want to blow stuff up, and sometimes I want to jump online and get my ass handed to me by a 13 year old who spends every waking hour playing Quake 3.
I could keep going, but no one is going to read this anyway...

Mods 'n' stuff

[kiddygrinder]

Now we might actually see something come out for this engine that has a little replayability... unlikely though i think, ut2k4 had prizes for mods, yet no-one produced anything that actually created a community... The big question is: is it actually possible that another mod will come out on the scale of counter-strike?
