The demo looked pretty good, although maybe a little too much like past versions of UT. Frame rates were decent but not great, perhaps in the high 20s or low 30s, and the PS3 wasn't doing any antialiasing or anisotropic filtering. The Sony rep I talked with said such things would be added later, after the game had been optimized for performance.
Opinion is divided on this one for sure! Is motion blur good for gaming? Why do developers include it?
I hate any game that has motion blur and the first thing I do is switch off the motion blur in games. It just makes me nauseous.
I agree with Alex here, many implementations are terrible but when it is done right it improves the experience.

“In all seriousness though, I feel like DOOM’s success will be measured by how much the game has to offer. Graphically it’s looking spectacular, and I’m sure the latest multiplayer trailer caught all of our attention. Personally, the game is beginning to remind me of those late nights playing Unreal Tournament 3, which is totally a good thing. This, in addition to the promise of user-generated content, is making DOOM look like the best first-person shooter I’ve seen in ages.”
The campaign looks brilliant, like a true nostalgia trip to the original DOOM titles of old! The multiplayer equally looks like a trip down memory lane to fast-paced and frantic arena games a-la Quake, and honestly the MP REALLY makes me want to the get game at launch to capitalise on the hype. Problem is I'm not overly fussed with multiplayer typically in games, they can get weary after a while, and buying a game solely for its MP is risky - especially on console - as it's heavily dependant on the community!
Rock to my left, hard place to my right..
EDIT: On the MP note, does anyone know if it'll have bots available, similar to Unreal Tournament 3? I still give that a quick play time to time with bots (and all the mad mutators).
I’m exactly the same, usually multiplayer games are of no interest to me. But DOOM has sparked my curiosity, especially as someone who used to enjoy multiplayer first person shooters like Quake/Unreal. Totally understand your concerns about it being heavily dependant on the community, too. Which is just another reason they should include bots, in case the numbers need to be made up. I’m hoping the community will be good, considering the creative freedoms they’re handing over with the SnapMap thing.
Its basically a "console" ahead, in terms of graphics, of another shooter called Homefront thats getting ready to release. LOL
Great selections as always and they are...

i know the game will be so awesome, cant wait for it. epic please speed up.
you can hear the Epic Games rep talking about the advantage of having a Hard Drive as standard in every PS3. Something about constant access---then they started shooting. It looks awesome, but I agree that the framerate needs a little work. Nothing horrible, but still noticeable. Back in Feb 06 it was running at 45 FPS, unoptimized. Maybe they threw away the old rendering system and are using the multi-core rendering system they developed during Gears of War production? That would make more sense. Right now they're playing catchup on PS3 development since so many resources and staff from the UT team were re-allocated to help finish up Gears.
