id Software and Activision, Inc. will unleash an all-new assault on humanity with DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil, the official expansion pack to the fastest selling PC first- person action game ever in the U.S., according to NPD Techworld. Co-developed by Nerve Software and id Software, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil continues the terrifying and intense action of the already classic DOOM 3, which Maxim and Computer Gaming World awarded "five out of five stars" and the Associated Press called "one of the scariest games ever made." Through the discovery of a timeless and evil artifact you now hold the powers of Hell in your hands, and the demons have come to hunt you down and take it back. Following the events of DOOM 3 and featuring new locations, characters and weapons, including the return of the double-barreled shotgun, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil expands the terrifying action that fans and critics have been raving about. The title will require the full retail version of DOOM 3, and has not yet been rated by the ESRB.

"DOOM 3 defines first-person cinematic action, and the expansion pack continues right where we left off -- with a terrifying atmosphere, a new story and one of the most classic weapons ever, the double-barreled shotgun," states Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "Now that fans have survived the horrors and edge of your seat action of the original, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil delivers players deeper into the heart of the UAC to uncover new secrets and technology used to destroy the demon force that's Hell-bent on destroying you."

Building on the most advanced game engine ever created, DOOM 3: Resurrection of Evil continues the frightening and gripping single player experience of the blockbuster original. The title also features even more multiplayer action with support for up to eight players in all new maps.

    Um, the single-barrel Doom shotty is <i>more</i> classic, and that was already in. For one thing it was in <i>Doom</i> while the super shotty wasn't, and for another what about the whole BOOM -> *death groan* ->ka-chick -> BOOM cycle. Easily one of the best things about Doom, getting an unbroken run of those sounds.

    Also, more Doom 3 eh? Just what I've always wanted. [/sarcasm]

    I, for one, am very excited. I'm one of the few non-haters who actually enjoyed Doom 3, and this is definitely going to rock. I wonder if it will take place on Earth, or on some kind of spaceship? Heh, Doom 3 meets Halo 2 or System Shock 2.

    I didn't really care for D3 but I'll probally end up playing this expansion pack regardless. I'd hate to not know what everyone else was talking about.

    I'm buying that JUST for the double barrel shotgun...D3 just wasn't complete without it.
  • NurotNurot Join Date: 2003-12-04 Member: 23932Members, Constellation
    I'm just gonna buy it cause the fourth cd space in my doom3 is empty and that's where the expansion is supposed to go <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> But seriously doom 3 was ok and we didnt get to kill the evil scientist yet (the thing I wanted to do the most and I didn't get to <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> .)

    My view on Doom 3 altogether, I really didn't care about the game, just had to complete it <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well, that's your problem right there. It's misspelled. Go back and ask for a copy that has 2 "O"s.

    My God, double barrel shotgun? Why? Wasn't the normal one in D3 strong enough? It killed players in a single shot and it had zero range, it seemed like one to me.

    The expansion is slated to include exciting new levels! For example theres 'walk into dark room and have something jump out at you' and then there's 'walk into dark room and have something jump out BEHIND you' and now, for a limited time only, there's 'walk into dark room and have something jump out in front AND behind you.'

    I sit here in breathless anticipation. Oh wait, no, I just need to inhale. There. That's better.

    The most suprising thing about this, is that DooManiac didn't make the topic. o_O

    Doom 2 gets remade as a Doom 3 Addon.

    Anyone seeing where this is going?
    Yup.

    Ultimate Doom remake.

    [Open your doom 3 CD case. See that missing CD? That's where the expansion goes! Makes perfect sense in hindsight...

    I just wonder what else ID will be adding... Bigger weapons usually mean bigger enemies. Maybe the Spider Mastermind? <b>Pain Elementals?! A EVEN NASTIER CYBERDEMON?!?!</b>

    You forgot the "pick up tempting cache of ammo, only to be surrounded by enemies" level.
