I open this thread to openly discuss with Brassmonkey who is a doom fanboy and maybe a hl spoiler, because i want to show him that hl community is able to argue without pissing other off. Let's discuss politly and friendly our view on hl2 and doom3 and their engines. I'm a newbie here and I hope I can get some responses from u guys.
Doom3 better lighting: TRUE
I saw many doom3 media too, I even collect some of them as I collect hl2 media. The dynamic lighting is absolutly impressive. I especially like the one in the toilet with the dead body of a fat man lying on the floor.
Doom3 better graphics: MAYBE
In hl2 , boxes or no boxes doesn't matter at all, it just need to archieve visually realistic. As a matter of fact that hl2 is the most impressive game showed in e3 (even more impressive than doom3, just go read stuff about e3 u will find out), hl2 is considered to have good enough graphics.
HL2 can rule over Doom3: 95% TRUE
Lighting is not the only thing that the engine does. We are talking about action games here, we need motional physics. As we all know that hl2 have a fully interactive world, things react to forces according to their weight, frictions, momentum etc (Gabe said that a barrel inside a train can move forward when the train decelerate if there's not enough friction, ain't it cool?!!). At this point, source engine do a better job than doom3 in making the game motionally realistic.
What else make hl2 rule over doom3?
Many thing else, but i just want to point out one. Simply take a look at how many time hl community is greater than doom commnunity right now at this moment. This huge community is going to contribute to the success of hl2, by buying the game and making mods, etc etc...
Conclusion:
Despite Doom3 engine has more advance lighting, so far, Source engine is still the best engine for action fps games due to its more advance motional physics system which is exactly what we need to make hl2 rule over doom3. Motion, action is better than those damn stupid dynamic shadow; in natural selection, the world is damn dark where u don't even see any shadow, but the game is still fun to play and offer a horrific atmosphere (i always hide in the dark hall way and jump on the marine who comes then scare the shit out of him, i like to play the role who terrorist other...hehe).
I will sure buy hl2, and consider to buy doom3 later.
