I got a chance to try out Doom III multiplayer for a brief while this morning, about eight minutes or so. That wasn't nearly enough time to develop a strong sense of what the game is like, but my short time playing left me with a couple of distinct impressions. The first thing I noticed was the effect of the sheer realism of the shading and shadowing. Those who say better graphics don't matter to gameplay, well, their brains must not react like mine does. The immersion was instant and tangible for me.

This immersion was tempered pretty quickly, however, by the relatively slow performance of the game running on the demo systems. I don't know the specs of those boxes, but whatever they were, the game didn't run smoothly enough on the demo system I used for truly playable deathmatching.

I was also thrown off—though not necessarily in a bad way—by the shadowing in the game. Way more than once, I came trucking around a corner and unloaded a few gallons of lead into the wall trying to take down my own shadow. Obviously, good players will have to learn to be aware of how shadows are cast in certain kinds of lighting (or at certain places in each map) in order to avoid making this mistake. Shadows should be deliciously creepy in the single-player game.

Speaking of creepy, the Berserker power-up is a blast. When you grab it, your character starts screaming like a banshee, and your view of the world becomes distorted. (Reminds me of hitting the moonshine too hard in Redneck Rampage.) You run twice as fast as everyone else, and you can frag folks with a single punch.

All in all, though, Doom III multiplayer didn't seem as refined as I had expected. Perhaps it was just the low frame rates, but this preview didn't have the feel of a nearly finished game. Several of us who played together thought the player speeds were a little too slow, which detracted from the gameplay a bit. No doubt the final product, on the latest hardware, will be better—when it's done.

These systems were built with Athlon 64 engineering sample, a "top-secret NVIDIA nForce motherboard technology," 512MB of DDR400 memory, a 7200-rpm Western Digital hard drive, and a GeForce FX 5900 Ultra graphics card. I played Quake III on one of the floor demo systems for a couple of minutes, and the frame rate counter was routinely hitting the 400fps mark.
