Poll 20th Anniversary of Doom 3. Which Doom was better? (5 votes)
This week marks the 20th Anniversary of Doom 3. Yes, you are officially old. I remember when Doom 3 came out I grabbed the Special Edition PC Gamer magazine. It really had elevated PC Graphics to a new level with better textures, with dynamic lighting and shadows. Came close to "photo realistic" in certain cases. Game looked stunning an GeForce 6800 Ultra. All these 3 years before Crysis came out. Another level of graphics Carmack brought. I wouldn't say it's be best Doom out their I think ID nailed the spookiness factor with the level design. I just thought not putting the flashlight on the gun was kinda of stupid although it brought panic and mayhem when shooting at enemies and having to switch between flashlight and the gun.
With respect to how it stands in the Doom trilogy . I would put it in two eras. One era after Doom 1 and 2 came out and the other era after the 2016 Doom Reboot. So, I would put it as better than Doom 1 and 2 although those two games being revolutionary at it's time. But I definitely think 2016 DOOM and it's sequel are better than Doom 3.
What do you guys think?
