I thought it had more of a fallout post apocalyptic look. Still it looks great

Well the character have a Bioshock look, the environment seems just like fallout and the driving looks like Motorstorm so I'd say it's celarly a MotorShockOut, gentlemen. Or a BioFallStorm if you will...

its gonna be even better than fallout 3 since the tech they use you wont see recycled assets as much, plus there are vehicles and its going to run at 60fps on 360.

I'm not one for FPS games but this one actually looks fun! I'll have to try it out!

Oh god, I know. He just keeps talking and talking with no end in sight. I just want to see some damn footage of Doom 4!

Yeah and where's Duke Nukem Forever?
BTW if that trailer didn't look cool to you, check your pulse.
"Those were my first thoughts:
FalloutShock."
I was thinking ShockOut or maybe just the Shocker.

What a dumb meathead. John Carmack is a passionate fucking genius I feel educated after hearing him talk.

I'm sorry that I don't find talk about the merits of consoles, development of iPhone apps, and cars all that interesting at a convention centered around id Software and their fans. (Even though there was purpose for each of those discussions, it didn't make them any less boring.) Of course, I never was one to suck from Carmack's metaphorical teat. As for the Doom 4 remark, that was a mistake on my part because I had missed the segment of Hollenshead's opening speech where he made it clear that there wouldn't be any new details until 2010.

Holy shit that looked stunning in motion, makes me glad I have a 360/ps3 :D

Too bad the 360 or Ps3 version wont look anything like that...

It'll look slightly worse, but I won't have to spend $800 extra to experience it.

Well lets hope I.D can make the consoles version fairly pretty, but there's no denying maxed out the pc version of this is going to look jaw dropping!

As bad as my computer is, I would have to start from scratch and I don't know how to put parts together nor do I have any interest in doing so or spending a ton of money. There's simply no reason for me to spend money on a gaming PC when I have all that I need with my consoles.
Like I said, I'll take the extremely slight graphical hit and just spend $60 (for the game).

That's cool, I'm not going to convert you. Just want to let you know that many misconceptions of PC gaming are now wrong, and if I can build a PC, you definitely can, and I can't build something like a shelf to save my life.
Its funny, I was a console gamer for years and now just went to PC due to me now having a good amount of disposable income, I wanted to build a PC for years and finally did it now.
PCs and console both have their strengths and weaknesses. I can say that some multiplatform games like GTA4 and Fallout 3 look and play totally better on the PC though, no way I can play them on a console if I can afford it. And consoles have their exclusives I wish would come to PC.
I can't wait to see the difference between Crysis 2 between consoles and PC. Doesn't matter if the differences are huge, both camps will be happy with what they get, same with this engine.

If you do a side by side comparison, one screen running the console version and the other running the PC version, you will find the difference is not as "slight" as you believe.
Its like the difference between a 1080p flat screen and a regular TV. They both get the job done and a good movie will be enjoyable on both, but once your accustomed to the flat screen, its hard to accept any less.

Putting a computer together is not hard. I could send you to a message board where you give them a budget, and then they put together a list of parts of newegg or other preferred websites. After that, its like legos. Seriously. Anyone can put a computer together. The hardest thing you might do is forget one power plug or have to fiddle with software installation, but its all an easy fix with a quick search on google.
As for cost, im pretty sure most of you guys have a desktop with a decent core 2 duo or AMD equivalent and 2 to 4 gbs of RAM with a decent monitor. Now all it takes is the a nice video card, ranging from 150 to 300, and you already have a gaming rig. The games are cheaper too. And no paying for xbox live (I have an xbox 360 with live btw). DLC tends to be free as well.
I just don't get where a lot of the misconceptions with PC gaming comes from.

Yeah... I would definitely not mind playing fallout 3 with super high graphical quality.

Looks to me like they're trying to one up everything Half Life 2 did.
I hope they manage it.

I've got my eye on this now.
