Doom 3: Phobos

[Shaviro]

geX livestreaming some level design at http://www.twitch.tv/gex88 right now!

[scwiba]

Damn, I missed it! Any chance of an upload of the stream?

No unfortunately not this time around. I didn't record it :(

But we're thinking about putting the streams up on the channel once they are over.

I am glad to see that this is hasn't been abandoned. Just wanted to give my support!

I hope to play it soon!

I was just checking out some of the new screenshots and I'm really impressed, it almost looks like it could have been in neo-Doom!

[Deleted_Account]

I guess Doom 4 will be coming out before Doom 3: Phobos than huh?

[Caffeine Freak]

If id sticks by their projected release period of Spring 2016, then I'd say it's pretty definite that Doom 4 will come out first. As for how far apart the releases are... that's something much more open to speculation. Partly, I guess that would depend on what part of Spring 2016 they release---it could technically be any time from late March to early June.

[DooM_RO]

How much of the project do you think is complete? Half, more than half?

[Touchdown]

I can 100% guarantee you that DOOM4 will NOT come out in Spring. Such roughly estimated release periods are never accurate. We're easily looking at second half of 2016, potentially as far as Q4. Remember they're still in Pre-Alpha. Which, by the way, makes it even more retarded that they've announced the Beta 16 months ago and they're not even in Alpha yet.

Thanks :)
Having seen the Doom(4) vids quite a few times that is a pretty damn big compliment!

More than half, definitely :)

Speaking of which, I've sent you a PM.

[DooM_RO]

So uuuuh, no chance of it coming this year?

[RUSH]

Are you guys worried that Doom 4's release coinciding so closely with Doom 3: Phobos could severely detract from it's public exposure and interest? Who's going to pay attention to a mod for Doom 3 when the newest Doom is out and all the rage? This would have been a great thing to come out in the time between Doom 3 and Doom 4. I hope I'm wrong though as I love your work and think this mod is going to be incredible. I'll be beating it multiple times over for sure.

Personally, I think the more games and mods that are simultaneously drawing public attention back to the Doom franchise, the better it will be for all Doom games and mods being released during that time. So no, I don't see it as being disadvantageous.

Maybe you could get PC Gamer to write about it like they did so many times about the Doom community?

Here's a headline "Doom 3: Phobos is the Black Mesa of Doom"

[Caffeine Freak]

Something like that certainly isn't out of the realm of possibility. I remember back when we got a front page placement on their website for Hexen: EOC.

There are quite a few "pro writers" here or at least people that monitor keywords on Google that we talk about and the Google bot tells them.

[Shaviro]

While we wait for QuakeCon.

[DooM_RO]

These are great but we've already seen these zones 2-3 years ago.

[Tetzlaff]

I've seen the atrium in the first pic, but the others seem new to me :)

[Zemini]

Love it! Can't wait to play this even it if is released after the new Doom!

[Gzegzolka]

I would say we have already seen those areas, but now I see them again, different rooms or just different perspective. Good to know You still work on it :)

[Shaviro]

11 years today!
Doom3 is now older than Doom1 was when Doom3 came out.


...and Phobos is almost as old, but tell noone.

[Koko Ricky]

Keep it up, guys. This is the only Doom 3 mod I've ever really cared about.

[DooM_RO]

Would be really cool if this came out before Doom 4, as a warmup.

I just did a playthrough with that mod and found almost all of the changes to be an improvement. It provided more challenge while building on the existing gameplay and correcting some balance issues. Definitely enjoyed it!

Cool man glad u liked it. Version 7 will be much more balanced difficulty wise with a lot more content and it'll be adapted for ROE too.

Back on topic:

Phobos Rules!!!
