Those of you getting Doom3 CE for Doom 1 and 2

The controls are messed up. You have to hold the left trigger to speed up,
and you move slightly drunkenly. Also, it might have been the TV I was
playing on, but there's some weird pixelation, like the image was streched.

View bob gone wild. That's the best way to describe the controls problems.
Also, Options are gone, so you cant change the sound and music volume. The
DB Shotdun in Doom 2 was placed in between the fist and the chainsaw! It
goes fist, db shotgun, It doesn't tell you when you find a secret area. At
least the graphics look better on my TV than the one I played it on before.

Hmmmmm, sounds decent...well, sounds like Final Doom(and Doom 2 for that
matter), but more Doom is good Doom...

Interesting. I wonder, are they planning on doing anything for other games that
use the BUILD engine? Shadow Warrior would be a nice choice, and of course,
PowerSlave.

Yeah, from the pics I've seen they look damn-slick. Reminds me of the pics I've
seen for N64 Doom, but no nearly as blurry.

I like how they shoot down his ride in virtually every Duke game out there(in
Zero Hour on N64 he goes "What do those bastards have against my ride!?" upon
them shooting down a chopper he's riding).
