Princess_Die sent BeyondUnreal three more shaky-cam videos from Comic-Con. Aside from plenty more DM footage, we also see the sniper rifle firing in first-person view for the first time.
Higher quality version of the embedded videos are available at the source.
Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”
The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!
Rock to my left, hard place to my right..
EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).
I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.
Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL
Great selections as always and they are...
Final Fantasy
Metal Gear Solid
Super Smash Bros.
Crypt of the Necrodancer
Unreal Tournament
Advance Wars
Payday 2
so these are all off the pc version, sounds like they are trying to push alienware stuff pretty hard.
I think Epic said gameplay is gonna slow down in the console versions. I really hope thats true. Atleast when your using the controller. One thing I wonder. If Epic does allow PS3 vs. PC matches, how is that gonna work out. I mean, with the PC gameplay running soo much faster. I hope they allow the player to change the speed. Like if PS3 players use a mouse/keyboard, they can choose to speed up gameplay as fast as the PC version. I'm sure using the controller at that speed would be rather difficult, IMHO.
No offense to consoles or console users, but console gameplay will be much slower if the player and others stick to the controller. Thumbsticks & buttons are always slow compared to mouse & keyboard.
Every Unreal game has shipped with mutator or setting that lets you select gamespeed from 50% to 200% too. I'm sure UT3 will too. It's changes everything and is just like slowing down or speeding up a movie. It can be done to any decimal you'd like in the game's command console in single player for ridiculously slow motion or extreme speeds. Heck, you'll probably get to do that in the console no problem for Gears of War for PC if you want.
Epic is emphasizing what they did in UT1 for UT3. The ability for anyone to pick up any gun in the map, grab a few frags and hopefully have fun doing it. The challenge is also trying to stay true to the game's more hardcore, arena-style fps fans and not just making it a noob spam fest. Marc Rein has emphasized this a long time ago.
it is PC obviously, but these videos remind of Gears of War
The gameplay is fast, funny for some time. But I must say I like it the Gears way better. More strategical working together, hiding behind a rock and firing over it etc.
This has a large part of luck of running into something or not. Still looking foreward to see how they pulled of more with the Unreal 3 Engine though
