DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
 

GI issue 141 has some infromation on the exansion pack (page 108), so i figured i'd sum it up for those of you who don't get the magazine:

ID is sticking to 'when it's done' for a release date (but you all knew that already... ;))

ok, so two years after DOOM 3, the cyberdemon is dead and betruger has fled. you're playing as a different marine sent down by UAC to assist an investigation of a strange becon at the first alien dig site. the becon turns out to be the artifact from hell. anyway, betruger hears you've got this thing and sends 3 hell-spawned hunters to kill you and take the thing back.

new weapons: first you get an "antique double-barreled shotgun" (thats how GI put it), then the "Grabber", which is like HL/HL2's gravity gun, but you can catch and return enemy projectile (imp just toss a fireball at you? toss it back! :evilgrin: ). ok, but then theres the artifact: after killing each of the hunters the artifact absorbs thier power, and you get to use it. "In order, you get a slow-time effect, a berserk ability (much like the Berserk power-up), and a limited invulnerability - and they stack." but, you've got to feed the thing 'good souls' found on dead humans for it to work.

so, 3 new weapons, 3 new enimies, and a campaign id estimates to be one half to two thirds as long as DOOM 3.

:cool:

I like the news about the Grabber...
Thanks Cort! :D

Re: DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
 

Although the Grabber seems to be a bit of a cheat for a game as terrifying as Doom 3, all of this together I believe is going to make yet another wicked extention of the Doom franchise. :evilgrin:

Re: DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
 

wait wait wait...you play as a different marine? Despite the sweet weapon additions and creatures- that's not cool. Ah but what the hell- guess the change would be more dramatic if the Doom guy ever talked :)

Re: DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
 

yeah, playing as a differnt marine isn't exactly going to alter things. just a differnt face to look at during cutscense.

The Ghost is back from absence....To add to what you've heard of the expansion my PC Gamer magazine had an article too. I heard of another new monster, known as the "Vulgar". Some weapons now have flashlights attached to them. You get an enviro suit at one point I guess, and sometimes you'll fight against zombies still in their suits, with flashlights on their heads (terrifying :rolleyes: ). I'm not sure if you're so much of a marine as a combat engineer. I have that issue of Game Informer too that has another article. It also had some information on the Xbox version of D3, including some information on its Co-op.

Re: DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
 

i think i made a post about that in the thread about the xbox version of the game… i think.

Re: DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
 

our hero from Doom 3 is well in need of some tlc and recuperation, as far as i am concerned.it only makes sence to play as a new face in the expansion. maybe the backdrop story may have this character and the one played as in the current game as mutual comrades, whom obtained his PDA full of relevant information linked to what unfolded at the end of the game [ personal studies in regards to the advance in teleportation,etc ] with new PDA/personal data/video disks/email recently discovered added.

who knows....the possibilities are endless.

i myself am just looking forward to the return of the double-barrel shotgun. that
with the introduction of new enemies alone is going to be something to look forward to, even if we did play as the same character. the idea of playing as a totally different marine in the expansion pack is refreshing. :D

Re: DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil
 

Agreed. All-in-all, this sounds like something to look forward to. :) Already pre-ordered.
