They actually claim they made up the Gravity Gun first? Oh, my.


It wasn't a joke, it was there in the Doom 3 SDK -- which it logically would be because after all, the developers had it and played around with it and invented it first so why wouldn't it be in there? If I remember right everyone started making their own Doom 3 levels after launch and since the gravity gun was invented by id we all downloaded these new levels and threw boxes around with the gun.

Anachronox had a similar in-game-engine placement tool, for all of the three non-static items/NPCs they added for the entire game. Can you actually imagine adding/placing/situating an entity from outside of the engine, and why would you want to?

So the idea of an in-game, entity-moving tool isn't so very unique, but adding a gravity gun is. They're spinning true statements ("we had an in-game entity tool") into lies ("We didn't totally rip off the idea of a gravity gun from the obviously-superior Half-Life 2"). It's not like Doom 3's physics engine allowed for entities to do damage to players, after all--something Half-Life 2 specifically allowed, even distinguishng between BLUNT damage and SLICING damage.

So yes, they're lying liar liars (LIES).
