jDoom is awesome.

Try playing a co-op game with 4 players on The Plutonia Experiment. It's fun.

Doom 3 may have super pumped mega graphics requiring the latest technology to run, but they still can't give a bald guy a curved head.

Just put a bit of Gourad shading on it, that'll fix it.

Gourad shading wouldn't fix it. What gourad shading does is calculate the lighting at the vertices, then it uses those values to calculate a shading gradient for the polygon, making the lighting appear smooth. That wouldn't fix the appearance of edges -- the only way to fix that would be to increase the polygon count or use some sort of 3d vector format (nurbs?).

I'm guessing Chris was joking, with gourad shading being pretty primative these days?

I still need to get a copy of D3. I've been playing Doom 2 for 5 years...and I'm sick of it. I can't wait to start blasting well-made zombies into bits...watching blood squirt everywhere...organs spread out in the play feild...*shudders*...That reminds me, I need something to eat. O_o

Actually ATI incorporated Truform(tm) into its gfx cards long ago. Basically Truform(tm) do some magic so the triangles form a beautiful curve instead of a well not so curved curve. The game need to support it though (to work properly but can be forced on in the control panel) and you can clearly see a difference in eg. Counter-Strike.

No wonder nobody releases anything for Linux then.
Erm, yeah, Cybermaze, I read about that Truform thing in my ATI manual, but I've yet to see a game that properly supports it. I don't think you can actually force it, cos I've noticed no difference in any game.

woo i just bought my mates Radeon 9600pro worth a measly £75 for an even more measly £50 and it runs D3 in high quality, everything turned on, AAx2, 1024x768. its fine for 90% of the time but sometimes it goes a bit jumpy but hell my laptop played it all jumpy so im not bothered.

top game but i can see it getting boring after a while. but so far the graphics are still impressing me and the story is picking up with the 'growth' and all. whatever the hell that is
