/// please say the corpses stay \\\

just watched the new doom 3 vid (very impressive) but couldnt help but notice that the bodies of the enemies were doing a "blade" style burning up into thin air technique! now i know its not a huge issue but i think to really appreciate the physics in a game the bodies need to hang around, i never hesistate to take a couple mins out in a fps to shoot some bodies around jus wandering if anyone knows anything about it

The corpses stay

how do you know?? it was in the NEW trailer, so im guessing thats how its gonna be, i said about the exact same thing dopefish, that they do the blade thing, it kinda makes that whole realistic rag doll phyisics they made redundant, i mean they cant flop about down stairs etc when they have fizzled into thin air...RIGHT??

hopefully they do stay OR maybe its just something you can turn on to cut down on PC strains (that would help wouldnt it...if the bodies dissapeared??, im not a pc person)

another thing is the blood, in the trailer there dont seem to be much of it (except the stuff on the walls etc) but i mean off the enemies, in the *caugh* alpha *cough* there was ALOT of blood coming off the enemies (and damn good looking blood i might ad, just the right colour) but now it just seems to be a red myst then the enemies fizzle away "blade" style, im not TOO bothered about the whole enemies vanishing but it would be so much better for them to stik around to "toy" with...lol...specially when you take into account (from articles on the net) that when you shoot zombies with the shot gun there flesh is removed from there skeleton...lol, you could strip them right down if the bodies stayed around.

anyway enough of my rant.

He pleased me to say it so I did :dennis:

how nice for you...... id prefer the bodies stay.....always looks better an feels more real

You're fighting demons from hell...how real is that? :dennis:

what game is set in a realistic setting though...
...not many, their always set around another time period except black hawk down, JOps is set in 2007 so they doesn't apply possibly Max Payne but abit exagerated infact in every game there would have to be something fake about them or unrealistic

You're fighting demons from hell...how real is that? :dennis:

@ kami : Hey d00d at my work I am fighting demons every day (angry customers ;) )


Maybe they left the blood out of it, cause it wuz on TV (i guess) and they didn't want to harm those poor little kids that where watching ,
and then have angry parents who are anti-doom3 sue em.

they've got it on t.v.? how did i miss it

That's a good point, they took out the blood because it was on TV,
it should be back with full blood-splatter, makes the game more fun!

Anyway, a good solution for the vanishing would be that the effect starts
once the corpse has stopped with the rag-doll animation, so when it lies still!

Hope they implement that!

Did you guys see how the fireballs of the "imp"-demon casts dynamic lights on the whole scene,
this game is gonna rock d00dz!
