somethingmustdie Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 i am not a computer geek, or a video game junkie. but i have been a serious famnof id softwares work. i do play a rediculous amount of resident evil games and doom series games when i cant sleep though. we all watch movies. we all like movies that dont suck. resident evil was in my opinion a very cool/well done (for being from a video game) movie. house of the dead was *beep* trash. well anyways. i dont know if theres any other "doomers" in here but a grave mistake is about to be made by hollywood. and i would appreciate it if we can turn our attention to a link http://www.dmop.co.nr and hopefully prevent a huge mistake...thanks. and i know this should be in the off-topic forums. so dont say that.

smores Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 What sort of relevance does this have to Airsoft? And if you KNOW it should be in the Off-Topic Forum, why didn't you post there... *the tingly sensation of his first thread-lock of doom prophecy...* BTW, I am very confused by your post and I have no idea what you are talking about...

Evo Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 well this is in the wrong forum, but you do, however, have very good taste in games, ie resident evil Link to post Share on other sites
Brick Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 The Hollywood movie makers have decided that using computer games as the basis for films is a nice money maker and are in production on the DOOM movie, the movie makers have looked at the plot for DOOM and decided that RESIDENT EVIL would make a more interesting plot for DOOM but having said all that this has nothing whatsoever to do with airsoft and should indeed be in the off topic forum.

Dafool Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 They should change the name to SOME WEIRD EVIL VIRUS THAT WE COPIED FROM THE RESIDENT EVIL MOVIES COS WE ARE SO LAZY THAT ATTACKS BASE ON THE UNKNOWN PLANET OF THINGY-THE MOVIE out now !!!!!!!1 Link to post Share on other sites
Dafool Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Compair this ! WHAT A SITE SAYS Plot Outline: In the year 2145, a group of Marines on Phobos, the moon of Mars, face off against monsters who infiltrate their base after an experiment goes seriously awry. WHAT THE PEDITATION SAYS a) Taking place on an unknown planet. (ie: No Mars) What was so hard about the location of this movie? Doom takes place on Mars, yet the movie does not. As far as movie sets go, one planet looks the same as the other, so there's simply no excuse to leave this out. Having nothing to do with Hell, instead having the monsters and zombies origin being the result of a virus. This is a completely undermining the point of the game entirely, Doom pivoting plot point is that Hell invades, without it the movie is not Doom and can't even pretend to be Doom. Rather it's just a rehash of a tired sci-fi cliche with the Doom name for a title. If we wanted to see a simple horror-sci-fi movie, we'd watch Event Horizon. c) Supposedly involving S.W.A.T. Team members instead of Space Marines. As stated before, something so simple as what the name of the uniformed soldiers in the movie didn't even try hold continuity. There's no reason or purpose to change Space Marines, which is Doom's staple, to something different. It's just bad taste and bad scripting. d) Having no UAC (Union Aerospace Commission) involved in the movie. Though unconfirmed, this would be another key element of the Doom saga left out. e) Several minor issues, such as the BFG (Big F*ing Gun) now renamed to "Bio Force Gun." As well as all the great DooM Hellspawn such as the Pinky Demon, the Baron of Hell and several others being played by Human characters, and given uncreative names like "Pinky" and "Goat" and "Baron." This is not only uncreative, but rather creating a movie without the Doom plotline and letting it stand "as-is", this movie makes deliberate nods and references to the game, like it's trying so hard to be true to the game, but falls short because the plot has nothing to do with the game at all. Why even bother calling the personnel by gimmicky little nicknames so we can tell what they'll mutate to? Again, just bad scripting and character casting. It looks like that the peditation is completly wrong in all ways Link to post Share on other sites
night hunter Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Doom 3 was a dissapointment, if they make this movie and port the game to consoles, the francise will go the way of Tomb Raider. Link to post Share on other sites
Dafool Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Nah I think Doom 3 was good. But it's a shame they changed the old radio operator for a new marine and changed the whole story. Link to post Share on other sites
rizzo Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Doom 3 was boring- besides, the developers didnt want to make money from the game, they want to make money from selling the engine Link to post Share on other sites
Dafool Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Blah blah blah... Just let them make there stupid movie. All the doom3 fans might not go and the company that made it will get the message to them that it was a bad idea when all the ratings come and so on... Link to post Share on other sites

somethingmustdie Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 not my first thread, and i said i knew it should be in the off topic. i figured itd get moved to where it should be. see im usually intoxicated late night/ early morning while im working on the comp or just *beep* around. so i apologize. but the stuff the petition site says is correct, everything has been confimed by wrtiers/ producers of the film. this movie is going to take doom and turn it into a biohazard/resident evil/aliens knock off. gay.

Hissing_Sid Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 I imagine a bunch of Hollywood moguls dreaming of a cross between ALIENS and 13 GHOSTS. Oh dear. The Irony is that when id invented Doom it was deliberately supposed to be a horrifically, unfeasibly, unrealistically, cheesy storyline. Besides that, if they do make it, the movie MUST end with a rabbits head on a stake. Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Hollywood's going to make a movie that will be nothing like it's source material? *Looks at Batman movies, Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Mario Brothers, Captain America, The Punisher, etc.* I find that very hard to believe. I think the producers of this movie will be determined to produce the finest movie possible, whilst remaining true to the original Doom. [/sarcasm] Link to post Share on other sites

smores Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 hmmmm.... What is it with all the new games sucking so much? lol... Mortal Kombat was a great movie... "Hey, those were $500 sunglasses, a$$hole...." Link to post Share on other sites
Sledge Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Actually, I take back the comment about Mortal Kombat. That was a good movie. The sequel, on the other hand... *Shudders* Link to post Share on other sites
