||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
There isn't actually a date though, is there? :-S |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes there is that's official statement from Activision and id Software |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it doesn't seem to get more specific than 'This summer' |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn i misread what you meant no there isn't an ACTUAL specific date set, but summer 2004 is damn well good enough for me that's anytime between now and August at least i'll have time to save up for it :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
ill have to download it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Whoops.. wasn't meant to be a reply to Ceri, just a summation of what I think of this thread. Anyway, the game will be released on the following date: Summer |
||||||||

cool avatar :) |

I won't be able to run it on my computer, and I'll have to wait for the Xbox version. But I can't WAIT for the reviews and the reaction on video game messageboards after it hits. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'll be making sure i get hold of this game as soon as i can, and once i do get hold of it i'll give a short review but maybe i'm not the best kind of reviewer because i'm biased - DOOM in my opinion is the best game in the world :) |
||||||||
|
|

if it lives up to the hype our wangs are gonna shoot off and fly around the room like rockets. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahahah |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i played the alpha release for this 18 months ago, they sure have taken their time |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well yeh, because it does take time to release a game - especially when a certain industrial musician spends a while to make music for it, and then backs out half way through :( i really hope Reznor get's his act together for the new album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
his new album is due out in the summer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i thought it was the other way around, and trent dropped out of the project because they were taking too long. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
|
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno, but what i had read is that things weren't working out and they parted amicably - shame because he did wonders for the sound design and music on Quake |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, but when they say it's announced for the summer, you know it will maybe be out in the fall. it has also been announced that Halflife 2 will be coming out "somewhere in the summer", so perhaps somewhere in 2005, 2006-ish. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeh but it says "Summer 2004" for DOOM3 and John Carmack has been saying for weeks now that DOOM3 is very close to release |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they always say crap like that. and then it gets delayed and we're supposed to be all surprised. I mean, I never believe stuff like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but *sniff* what about the xbox release date... ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
>qrter well, anyways i'm excited about it :) >Gwely Mernans from what i can see on the doomworld forums, there's speculation that it'll be out in the fourth quarter of 2004 - maybe in time for christmas? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
P666 MHz, 384 MB RAM, Voodoo3 2000 oh shit....might as well try it then eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you might be able to run it albeit at 640x480 in software render mode, with every cvar hack there is to get all the nifty stuff out of the way ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I too was thinking along the lines of software mode 320x240, 256 colours, every setting to low or off :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehhe :) as far as i know, id ditched 320x240 since Quake III Arena (i can't get any lower than 640x480 on my iBook anyways). i'm just hoping that i'm gonna be able to run it reasonably well on my PowerBook *fingers crossed* i can't stand playing games that judder or anything - they HAVE to be "real time" responsiveness, else i will throw a hissy fit |

Don't believe the hype! Don't Don't Don't believe the hype! |

you've just reminded me - i must get hold of some Public Enemy stuff |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
This thread reminded me I should do some more investigation into the components for me new computer. WHAT A TRADE! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can never imagine a day when I'll successfully install and run it, even if I had all the proper hardware and software. I'll just play it on a console... on a nice... user friendly... console. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

It looks very good on Xbox, the trailer for it was nearly indistinguishable. It'll look wonderful, plus it has Xbox Live online co-op, which the PC version doesn't. I'd definitely rather have it on PC, but you're not missing much, especially if you play it on a big HDTV. |

Sweet, hopefully it'll come out on ps2 too. Naturally I tried viewing that video at ign, but, being an amateur on a computer I couldn't make it work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
which reminds me to ask this pppho0urum; Is there an easy way to hook up like, 10 consoles to one tv? I have a mad catz doohicky which allows 4 things to be hooked up (since the vcr/dvd/each console has the audio and video outputs) which you switch between. But already I have to un/replug the vcr and dvd when I want to change. I hate technology, but it's my surrogate activity you see. |

Here's a side-by-side comparison of the PC and Xbox Doom 3s. PC on the left, Xbox on the right. The angles and lighting are slightly different, so you can't make a concrete judgement, but you can see that the port is darn good, and you're getting an amazing looking game either way. Gamespot had glowing reviews for the Xbox version. There's no way this game would run on a PS2, fuhgeddaboutit. But you can get a used Xbox for 80 bucks, that'll save you the 1500 dollars you'll need to get a CPU that will run this bad boy. |

But if you want a killer app FPS for PS2, look no further than Killzone. Looking amazing for a PS2 game, and still has months of polish left to be put on it. And the atmosphere looks freaky. Look at the detail on that destroyed building. The environments are huge. |

i just hope the gameplay on doomIII is good. carmack usually does a good job. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
looking forward to HL2 much, much more! always been a more interesting gameworld, I think. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The left one looks better/scarier, but it's perhaps largely the differing lighting/perspective. |

It IS better, it's higher res and has more polygons. You get what you pay for, babycakes. The detail is pretty much intact, though. It's a downgrade, but it's really slight. The dynamic lighting and everything is 100% intact, so you'll get scenes from like the left one in both of them. And that's definitely a more intimidating pose on the right, there. With more flattering lighting. |

''And that's definitely a more intimidating pose on the LEFT, there. With more flattering lighting.'' |

And I don't even think Half Life 2 exists. It's the most elaborate hoax ever, and some fat pizza-faced geek is responsible for it. You watch. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
probably. oh but IF it does exist.. oh my..!! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
omg.. that looks fantastic! |
||||||||
|
|

I'm still downloading.. oh HL2 will make my pants explode!! |
||||||||
|
|

Getting that video. Oh baby. |

it's bootlegged. but it's grrrrreat!! |

"But you can get a used Xbox for 80 bucks, that'll save you the 1500 dollars you'll need to get a CPU that will run this bad boy. " That's true, but there's no way I'd ever play a game like that with a joypad :| and I need the new cpu+gfx card+soundcard for more than just games (Ok maybe not the GFX card :P). Anyway,just D/L'd the Hi-res DOOM3 trailer to verify lushness, and must agree that it looks to be a good one, except for in the end when they showed some gritty action-bits one after another. That's when it went fairly choppy :\ I think they were heavily inspired by the trailer to "Alien" for this one. Slow build up, sound of a heart beating, very dark, creepy flashlight effects showing things moving but not sure what etc. etc. In fact I think that one of the critters in Doom3 is a direct rip from the Alien hybrid in Alien:resurrection! Check out the similarities. |
