2D sprites in a 3D world

[zybch]

Just took this screen grab because it looked so funny.
It demonstrates exactly why we moved to entirely 3D games instead of using sprites :)
I still love the game though, and with the Doomsday Kickstart program it even still looks passable (OpenGL/DX8).

I really hate 2d sprites in a 3d world :rolleyes:
Like on most games the trees are!
but the characters :r

You tried Jdoom? It makes Doom look pretty good again!

lol though I remember as a child running around the corpeses trying to see them from another angle and being very annoyed I couldn't!

I still play Doom in its zDoom guise (a much-improved version of Doom, http://zdoom.notgod.com) with DoomGL, which adds Quake-like md2 support to Doom. Also there's a host of nice OpenGL display features to make it look quite good. Doom rules.:D

I'd like to see at least one classic doom level in the new doom3 when it finaly gets released.
A bit like the embeded game 'maniac mansion' you could find in Day of the Tentacle.

****. I am getting old. Anyone still remember time before the PC revolution? Commodore 64/16 + 4? Spectrum with their horible little rubber keyboards etc? Games like Manic Minor, Bombjack, Dizzy and Rainbow Islands ring any bells. ****........

Yeah - but cutting edge at the time. Remember cartridges on the C64? Capable of holding 1Meg and instant loading? Rmemember those horrible Datasette recorders (shudder). And when modems first came out? Compuserve? Yikes. I'm too young, surely????

Would you believe I have recently taken up MOS6502 assembler programming?
I have always wanted to be able to do assembler programming but I never got around to actually buying a book or something. :D
