I've played the demo. The frame rates seemed comparable on my hardware. Granted, my hardware is a few years out of date at this point so one or both engines may have been hitting a bottleneck.

Yeah, definitely a bottleneck there somewhere.
Doom 3 not only totally outperforms T3 rendering, but looks better as well (speculars, reflection, refraction...). In fact it's so smooth that if you weren't told otherwise, you probably wouldn't even believe it is using dynamic lighting.

what about the 'garrett needs armbands' rule? he does have a lot of equipment and loot but he should be able to swim. It also didn't convey the message of the world of thief not just being one city consisting of back alleys and mainstreets.:grr: they didn't mention anything about the world outside the city at all.

I also didn't like the lack of continuity from the old games. The Docks- the poor part of town, full of cramped tennents blah blah blah and is the right place to hire a pair of murderous thugs. Yeah right. The most murderous thing there was the water. And i didn't see a single thug. Not one. Also, the City was poorly designed in parts, though overall I liked the feel it gave. Mainly the shortcoming was the Docks. No swimmable water- let's face it most of the water in the game was in that district, no thugs and only 1 ship and [SPOILER]that's haunted.[/SPOILER] It doesn't exactly capture the immense complexity of the City's underbelly or its vastly expanding economy. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the game and its still my 4th favourite game of all time (after t1,t2 and t2x.) :thumb:

next time there should be multiple answers for this thread, damn hard to choose!
but i chose the "i need rope arrows and not climbing glove's" choice:
the loading zone's are stupid to but i'm glad that the developers made this so: if you are chased and run to the other side they still wait on the other side.. thats one pluspoint about it and its the last one
