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.
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'.
The crosshair wasn't the point.
Fair enough. I see where you were coming from.

Thank you, I knew there'd be at least one person who agrees with me. Although, I'm really more skeptical about it than anything. I'm still interested somewhat.
Doom 3 looks okay. I'm sure it won't live up to the hype, but it might be fun anyway. I've only played Half-Life a couple of times, so I can't say I'm dying for HL2 either. I'm more looking forward to Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. But there's a good chance I'll be disappointed by that too. Then again at this stage, it's more about who I play with than what I play.
