"Polygon counts"
The Doom engine is not an ultra-high poly count engine, because it is built around dynamic lighting and shadowing, but it is still a large step up from our previous games. Typical scenes will have around 150,000 polygons, versus 10,000 for Q3. There will certainly be other games with higher raw polygon counts, but that is really focusing on the trees, not the forest (image quality). The large numbers that have occasionally been tossed around are the polygon counts for the high detail characters that are used in the generation of normal maps for the real time rendering. Some characters are over 500,000 polygons in their original form.

“It looks like the type of game that is so thrilling to play that gamers will do so over and over again, even though it lacks a narrative plot.”
Unlike everything we have done before, the new Doom actually DOES have a real plot, and I think it is going to be presented well. I don’t really expect most people to believe us at this point, but wait and see…

“The new Doom likely will require a no less powerful chip than the soon-to-be-released Nvidia GeForce3”
It is designed for full impact on a GeForce-3, but it still runs on a GeForce-1 or Radeon.
