What games do you want to see made with the Doom 3 engine?

[Amaster]

The mention of Tomb Raider (which I hated) brought a weird suggestion to mind. How about a 2D platformer? I actually really miss right-scrolling run-and-jump games.

A 2D platform on the Doom3 engine...
Drugs are bad for you!

Seconded - that would be a serious underexploition of the Doom 3 engine capabilities.

Tomb Raider, bah!
That game was only made famous because it sported a big-busted gal as the hero. To me it's just a typical puzzle action-adventure 3d game.

All I know is that I've enjoyed playing all the TombRaider games more than just about any other game. Each sequel is subtly different, but they all stick to what the series does best in general. As a comparison, all three Dooms had exactly the same gameplay through all the sequels, as well, so that's not really a valid argument.

Yes, TombRaider is famous for the "gal", but that doesn't stop it from being a good game. At the risk of being banned, if came to choosing Doom3 or the next TombRaider game, well, I'd just have to bask in the Doom-happiness of the other forum members...

Point is, I'd be seriously tempted to do a "DoomRaider" mod. I could just picture Lara flying through the air at one of those spider demons. <sigh>

What about Doom Pacman? It would be really funny to see the litle yellow guy chomp one of those big pellets, and then chase after a fleeing hell knight.

Yes but There was really only that *one* official sequel to Doom and it at least had one new weapon and a few new enemies. Plus it was really only made to keep the fans occupied while id worked on Quake. The other "sequels" to Doom were made by third-party companies and id had little involvement in those.

You meant "a few new enemies", didn't you?
..and I think ESH meant the "3 quakes". hmmm...

Gimme Heretic that uses the DOOM 3 Engine and i'll die Happy :) Tomb Rider 1 is great but the rest sucks...

Long Live Sonic! The Sonic games rank inside my top 2 games ever.

[Katarhyne]

Hell yes. Hexen 3 on the Doom 3 engine. I just came on myself.

/me high-fives dsm

Otherwise... did anyone ever play NiGHTS: Into Dreams on the Saturn? I'd like to see a sequel to that. Not sure if the Doom 3 engine would really suit that game, though.

He's working on a Wizard of Oz game now. Maybe that'll use the Doom 3 engine...

Maybe someone could make a halfway decent Blood sequel, or even a remake of the original.

Yay! I agree 200%.
There´s no better semi-homoristic horror game than blood.
Blood 1 that is, the sequel Blood II the chosen was not that good.
The story was ok, but the lithtech engine isn´t powerful enough to do the great story justice.

That dynamic lighing should fit just nicely in the Blood universe.

[Katarhyne]

Sorry about deleting your post, GP. I was going to correct it for you but then you went and edited the other one. :/

[DemonDemon]

Any System Shock game or even a new one. :D That would make me a happy dead man. :) I'd say more, but I have nothing more to say. ^^;

Replace 'isn't' with 'wasn't' - the current incarnation of Lithtech is pretty advanced from what I've heard.

[doomedout]

I was thinking maybe silent hill 1 redone, minus the cheesy dialogues and scripting. I thought the environment was possibly the most intriguing part of the game and it would be interesting to see it done with a doom3 engine.

[Captain Red]

It's almost certainly been said already, but Thief. Although, Thief 3 is being made with the Deus Ex 2 engine, which is very similar to the doom 3 engine.

[LorD BaZTArD]

Ok, I'm positive I made a post in this thread earlier. Anyway.....
Yes, the current Lithtech engines are very capable. Jupiter and Talon are two of the engines made by lithtech. Talon powered AVP2 and Jupiter powers NOLF2. Jupiter is a nice looking engine, can do nice levels and has decent character models IMO.

...which is actually a modified Unreal engine.

And a Blood game would truly rock solid.

[Captain Red]

Deus Ex 2? no, they're building an engine from scrach. I know the first Deus Ex used the unreal engine, unless you know something I don't...

[LorD BaZTArD]

50/50 actually. They started on the Unreal engine, and for a large part, it still is. Although, Many parts of the engine have been re-written from scratch over time. Warren spector has said that the rendering engine is completely new. So is the physics and other things if I remember correctly.

Yes, I'd really like to see a remake of both System Shock games. That would be the only thing capable of rivalling Doom3 in terms of atmosphere, imo.

[Wobbo]

a totally surrealistic 4 dimensional game using the protals and shaders. "kind of an ode to dali" to quote the guy incharge of prey

Oops, just thought of this now:

Doom: Hell on eath - massive industrial earth environments full of tons of monsters, designed from the bottom up for cooperative play (in SP uses AI)

Well, Doom III is really setting the bar that other companies are going to follow right now, both with the technological path that John Carmack has blazed and with a lot of the different paradigms in ways of thinking that the engine is based on. That's probably the direction that we'll look at for Wolfenstein at the moment.

The Doom III engine with a WW2 setting, that's what I'd like to see. I would love to play a game that combines the graphics quality of Doom III with the multiplayer experience of RTCW.

Aaahh yes, that would be perfect!!

Doom 3 is Single player at its finest.
