HEXEN: Beyond HERETIC is slated for October 30th release (DEVIL's NIGHT).

There is no DOOM 3....what computer store was this that told you this load
of crap?  


  Strife is coming out this fall as well.....Strife is an
RPG/action game using the doom engine (by Rogue Entertainment) and will be
out around the same time as HEXEN. 

QUAKE on the other hand will be out closer to Christmas....IT WILL
REVOLUTIONIZE the gaming industry!!! Preparte to spooge!!


The closest you will get to DOOM 3 is the NU64 version being done by
Williams' software.  It will have true 3d models in it...It has been
called the ULTIMATE version of Doom by the boyz at Id software!! They have
said that do DO NOT intend to do another Doom game...they may allow other
companies to do so but they plan to break new ground (ie: QUAKE) with
other fresh ideas!

Hexen is slated for an October 31st, All Hallow's Eve 
release... very fitting, I must say, especially if you've 
scrutinized the screenshots available from id.

Doom 3 is probably "Strife" -- another cool game using the Doom 
engine (which is supposedly a meld of medieval and high-tech 
motifs).

I would love to see a DOOM 3 based on the Quake engine :)  I hope iD 
doesn't pass up an opportunity to do this or have someone else do this 
someday - DOOM is a gaming household word now :)

	Fresh? One my friend said once that if there were Smell blaster 
nobody would play Doom.

	I thought I saw magazine adverts claiming that this fall, they'd 
be releasing Registered Heretic with "20 all-new levels".  Is this dead
in the water?

	Can you build analogies? Device for digital/analog conversion of
sound is called Sound Blaster, video - Video Blaster, guess what Smell
Blaster is supposed to mean? And guess what smell would any Doom level
have. Yes, I think Doom stinks. But I don't want to convince anyone that 
I'm right.

Will these be available only by mail-order or in retail stores?

I think the Doom genre is just far more interesting than any of the others.
Perhaps it is because one can relate to the weapons more.  We gave Heretic
a try for multi-player games... it was fun for a while, but there was just
no comparison to running around with a shotgun or rocket launcher :)

I would be satisfied right now with a version of Doom that was upgraded to
the Heretic (or Hexen) engine.  With all the environmental sounds (splashing
water etc), and perhaps a fuel-powered jetpack... it would be fantastic.

It would also be nice if your characters could reflect what weapon they
were currently carrying.
 
I read in some computer gaming magazine that ID has no plans, and in fact
didn't want to create a Doom III.  The article was regarding Quake, after
a visit by the author to ID Software.  I'm really looking forward to Quake,
but I'm still not too keen on the fantasy setting (I love fantasy games, just
not when it comes to first-person action games).

I'm a little behind in my info gathering.. Descent 2 on october 16?
To be honest, I haven't heard anything on Descent 2.. What is
the story on this? Thanks for the info!

There is no Doom 3 for computer.  Hexen will be released Oct 30.

The only thing I can think Doom 3 could be would be Strife which should come
out sometime this fall.  I don't know why they called Strife Doom 3, it seems
very misleading.

Mike

Over in the rec.games.computer.doom hierarchy, various sources (including 
id, I think) have said "Doom III" was a poorly chosen in-house reference 
to Doom for the NU64 console.  The final version of Doom for the PC/MSDOS 
is Doom v 1.9u (Ultimate Doom).  The final version of Doom II is 1.9.  
Ports to OS/2 and Win95 are supossedly forthcoming.

What makes Dark Forces better than DOOM?  [yes, I'm a big fan of your
posts over at a.g.df :]

	You really wanna know? Ok, I can tell only for myself. I like DF 
much better than DOOM because of:

1) Better look
2) Perfect storyline
3) Combat/mission style versus blood gore and simple shoot'em up
4) INF language
5) Better weapons/enemies
6) Better 3D engine capabilities


	You see - 3D engine is last in my list. So had Dark Forces 
inferior 3D engine I'd prefer it anyway.
Thanks again, LucasArts.

The only DOOM 3 I know of, is Quake, but It's not Doom.
It's ID's followup to the 3D-games.
I don't know when Quake is to be released .

According to Interplay's web page, the shareware version of Descent II
will be released on October 16.

	Not even. Quake's engine specs are _unbelievable_.
	Then again, so is a 1995 release date. Not that I don't have faith in
our friends @ ID, but a task like this needs to be done _well_. Not rushed
(as I fear they'll do).
