I was an original DOOM fan. I used to get sick playing that game, it was alot of fun! I am a big fan of the first person shootemup genre. Can't wait to see Doom III.

Though not particularly realistic, Doom was the goriest game of its time

It was definately more realistic then wolf3d :) Doom 3 is one of the reasons I spent $400 on 9800 pro.

MOHAA is the first time since Half-Life that I've really enjoyed a PC game. Engrossing. I look forward to seeing how the Doom folks have pushed the graphics envelope.

Otherwise, I stick to my flight simming, when I'm in the mood for a lark.

They better not soup it up too much, I hate upgrading for games and I won't for just one not even Doom. Hope the imps still throw those slow fireballs, playing imp tango was my favorite part of the game.

It'll be souped to the max. Wouldn't suprise me to find out someday that wintel was a generous investor in carmack's rockets. carmack has done more for the wintel consortium than just about any other human being in the world.

No games for you.

I still find it amusing that high-end graphics cards cost more than some complete systems. Although in many cases the processor on the GPU is faster than the main CPU, so it sort of makes sense. But I'll survive with my 8500 for now.

Say what you will about scantily-clad heroines, and blood and guts, but these game developers are driving the computer industry. I say go for it.

Intel yes, Microsoft not really. Carmack is a big proponent of OpenGL and his games are cross-platform; MS would obviously prefer that he used DirectX.
