I hope no one's actually surprised there's gonna be a Doom 4. And yeah, it'll most likely be the same old thing with prettier graphics, but then again, I'll probably play it regardless of how crappy it is or isn't. Unless it wants reactivation every 10 days or some shit like that...

I would be surprised if iD started doing Bioshock-ish copy protection measures.

Meh, I suppose I'm still butthurt over EA's move with Mass Effect. Not that I'm drawing a comparison between iD and EA, mind you.

I will nooooooooot be waiting around for this one, unless I see some concrete info that it's going to be really different from Doom 3.

How does one go about adding closed captioning to Doom 3?
Is this in some way different than subtitles? Are you including captioning for sound effects and shit?
Too much work. I just want the audio logs to have readables so I can actually play the goddamn expansion.

Well that would have been even more ripping off System Shock than they had already by that point.
I tended to go find a quiet safe place to stand before listening to the logs in Doom 3 and its expansion. Though I did that often in System Shock as well.

I would hesitate to say that audio logs are a System Shock rip-off, because System Shock is a rip-off of what life might be like in the future (regarding those audio logs, and a couple other quite common future predictions), which both games try to capture. Plus, a great deal of futuristic sci-fi TV-shows/movies made before SS had audio-log recording... Putting those recordings into small, selectable devices is just a video-game's way of making it accessible to you, so you don't have to talk to the ceiling and ask it to play someone's diary.

Its more in the way its done. Very reminiscent of System Shock.
I totally agree that audio diaries are very likely to be something that`ll be done by alot of people in the future though.
They`ve been doing audio logs in sci-fi from as far back as the original series of Star Trek I believe. I was disapointed that we dont have the flying cars that Back to the Future predicted we would have by this point in time.

the technology for audio logs has been around for decades. It's not widely used because unlike text it's impossible to skim, thus making any review of it take at least as much time as the recording.
