Gamespot has a report on Doom III from E3. There is a description of the demo that was shown. Here is a snippet:The characters' facial expressions were quite lifelike as they exchanged dialogue. But what was even more impressive was the subtle detail that could be seen in their individual skin tones and complexions. It's no exaggeration to say that these are easily some of the most realistic-looking 3D real-time-rendered characters ever seen in a game. The quality of the character models--and actually, even the visual design of their high-tech armor--is comparable to what can be seen in last year's computer-animated sci-fi feature film Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within. I don't see what all the fuss is about......ARE YOU KIDDING!!! you can download the video from here but be warned it is a 97MB beast. There is a low res version available which is only 8.4MB.
