WOW. Source Trumps Doom3 Engine

jfs1967 · Nov 21, 2004, 02:45 AM

I am 'AMAZED' by the source engine. It completely trumps the DOOM3 Engine (maybe CryTek too?). I am completely blown away. I just sat down with HL2 today.

Chalk one up for DirectX?

Sorry, it still uses the same engine as the 1st game.

Doom3 in terms of new games didn't turn me on after 2 hours of play. When HL2 came out, with all my doubts etc, they were all erased. I see so much potential from HL2 engine it's nuts. I've spent the last few days/nights working on understanding mapping. I really really really want to map for HL2 and do all these ideas in my head, move to modeling and then do my own mod on my own or with help. So far in mapping I can make a basic building with doors that are somewhat occluded by the surrounding walls(working on that) and breakable windows(they work woo). So far I like Hammer but the lack of documentation and prefabs etc are really slowing me down. I got to do my own prefabs, don't know if HL1 are even worth importing since the gfx suck. But man I'm all into HL2.. great single player game so far. So much more than The Dark, oh I mean, Doom 3. Carmack has shown to me anyhow, he has zero concept of what people were expecting in Doom 3. I was all over the older Dooms and literally played them till I just couldn't anymore.. Doom 3 was the shortest of all games and most important, the game I lost complete interest in Doom period.
