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.
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
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.
