Dark Sector Movie

Didn't Blade of Darkness have some fancy shadowing effects? Sure, it wasn't as fancy as Doom 3, but it was AGES ago. Considering how badly Doom 3 seems to run on most pcs, it's not that impressive.

Anyway, back on topic! I like the Dark Sector trailer generally. I particularly liked some of the character design. I really hope that the characters have interesting attacks and AI. One of the many things I didn't like about Doom 3 and other games is that the enemies might look cool, but then they just appear to be using the same AI they've been using since 1995 but with better pathfinding. Big fucking deal.

Oh, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the N64 has some kind of IK on Link's legs. I never noticed his feet floating or sinking into the floor anyway. Also, you can see that if you stand on a slope, Link's legs extend different amounts.

one small attention to detail which is sweet in doom 3 is the way the characters feet always touch the ground no matter what sort of terain/surface they are on. for eg if they are walking up stairs they dont float up. pretty sweet. cant believe more games dont have this.
i remember the first hitman was the first game (as far as i know) to include this feature along with rag doll physics. IO rocks.

yea, so i dont get it. whats so special about the doom 3 engine anyhow. this dark sector engine, the unreal 3 engine, and many others can do the same lighting and shadows and all that spiffy shit.
sure id was first to the market, but its over. come 2006, every fps engine will be up to par.

Splinter Cell + Doom 3 = Dark Sector. Looks neat though.

So this game isn't out yet, right?
