Who does it seem that all Doom 3 hype is based on graphics?

It's because ID games, in single-player, usually are boring. Tech demos disguised as run and gun games.
I actually have high hopes for Doom 3 though. It seems like it'll have a nice horror atmosphere, which I like. Maybe it'll even have some kind of story. :O
wasn't their focus, with Doom 3, to create a great single player experience because even they realized their games' lack of a focused single player?
those looking at Doom 1 and 2 as poor single player experiences need to stop thinking about them now...back in the day those games kicked ass in both single and multiplay

Quake IV will also be story driven! The 3d art for that game looks hot!

It doesn't exactly take a lot to earn praise on the PC this year, though.
Far Cry was not a very good single player game, but people seemed to love THAT. I think Doom 3 will absolutely SLAUGHTER it from a game standpoint.
I really believe that a lot of people will be put in their place when this game is released...

Agreed, although I would say Quake 1 was mediocre in comparison to Duke3D :b
oh...and dark is right about Far Cry...it's got great visuals...but gameplay wise is pretty average...and the character animation is shit
DOOM 1/2 rocked in single player. It was like the best single player experience when these games came out. Same with Quake really. And Quake rocked the multiplayer scene until Counter Strike came out. Quake 2 had even better single player but I never really liked the multiplayer part. Quake 3 simple sucked.
Doom 1 and 2 were amongst the last FPS games I've honestly played on my comp. I've tried out others, but I've never been big on the genre. I've just purchased Half-Life 1 and a bunch of its expansions, and will give the genre a go again. But I loved the first Dooms, especially Doom 2. I enjoyed the rapid paced, 'run and gun' nature and what really made it was the awesome level design.
Is Doom 3 nothing like that?

Wolf 3D and Doom 1 were nice, but mostly because they were something new and different at the time. Doom 2 was more of the same, and became quite boring after a while.
Quake 1 honestly bored the hell out of me. Quake 2 had a similar effect. And yeah, they gave up with Quake 3.
I usually prefer atmosphere and story over mindless reflex-gibbing, so I believe that would be an explanation to my opinions.

It does not seem to be. It looks like a much slower paced game with a focus on the "experience". That appeals to me, but if you are looking for fast paced action, I don't know if you'll like it too much. :\
I've heard that some versions of the game use Star Ocean 3 music as well...so you might want to be careful.
Painkiller just shows you how standards have changed. Make a game like the original Doom titles and it "sucks"....even though Doom is revered as a classic. That's why id is having to use a different style of gameplay in Doom3...
If you go back to the original Doom games they are kinda boring, though.

SS1/2 were fun w/ friends, but the single player games got old real quick. Even w/ friends, there was only so much fun you could have with co-opDopeyFish said:
I'm excited about Doom 3 about the level of immersion it's supposed to have on you. Admittidly, the latest trailer of the game makes it look pretty generic. Blasting ugly monsters to the tune of rock music is pretty ho-hum in my book. But from everything I read, I believe the game will end up being very immersive, up there with metroid prime and half life.
I dunno why people discount the effect atmosphere has on your mood while playing a game. I play games to feel good, to enjoy myself. Atmosphere is a part of both my initial reaction to an encounter and the attitude it provides as my mental environment for mechanics to shine.
But I guess elitists are supposed to be more impressed with pooping cubes, or big piles of low poly, poorly textured, badly lit garbage rolling around picking up, woah!.. more garbage. Brilliant!
