Doom 3 Specs?

2GHz CPU or equiv Athlon

512MB of RAM

Radeon 9800/GeForce FX 5600 and up

5 channel sound card with speakers (Sound Blaster Audigy 2)


The following graphics cards are all supported by Doom 3:
GeForce 3/4/4MX/FX/6800 + ATI Radeon
8500/9000/9200/9500/9600/9700/9800/x800

Well that's not too powerful I suppose :P

I hope that this is NOT the minimum though.

I would probably just be able to play Doom 3 on 640*480,
with all fancy graphics settings off.

pretty good.
i guess they added more than one more shotgun, like they did
with doom 2

The Half Life 2 Specs look about the same I think. I can't
find the info on that at the moment.

why would you play this game at 640 with all the shit off?

why would you wait all these years in anticipation to play
it and not "fully experience" it how it wa smeant to.

if you dont have the specs, dont play the game til you do.

simple as that

huh? not sure what you are exactely..implying.

what im saying is, without all the features (high res, PS,
etc) you arent going to get as immersed .... it would be a
waste of a game.

A good game doesn't need good graphics for immersion. Play
Metroid NES and get back to me.

Well hopefully the gameplay won't suffer at the cost of
ultra-realistic graphics. I hate how so many games feel
like you're just watching a movie, but you've just got to
push the story along. Might as well rent a fucking dvd.

Wait, is this game out?

Read this:

In terms of insane lightening quick trigger finger skill
dominant chaotic gameplay I strongly suspect that the free
wad "hell revealed" (AWESOME wad) played with the free doom
port "zdoom" (which has nifty features like doubling the
graphic resolution) will be better than doom 3 anyway.

Seriously, people should try this and see how insane it is
on ultra violence. Playing with the further goal of doing it
as fast as possible makes your head repeatedly explode and
implode. Try level 13 first (type idclev13). It'd be very
difficult for me to imagine a better game than this. It's
truly a world you can escape into, and not because the
realism of the graphics. It's a seperate... BETTER...
reality that my brain would practically be at home in
permanently if it weren't for annoying things in this
reality that force me to return. It's highly recommended
(and free).

I've started to trust people's opinions/ratings less and
less on videogames. I can generally only find out if it's
good myself now.

good and you should try it.

My computer is 650mhz, and can't run it. I was planning to
buy a powerhouse CPU, but I spent my funds on other stuff.
I'll have to get the Xbox version, but thankfully the port
looks great.

port looks decent

it will really be lacking on a lot of features

high res textures, etc. there will be a difference.

Here I think

Try "last look at eden" (level 13) on ultra violence with a
pistol start. There's so much depth to these levels because
the guy that made them is part of the doom subculture that
takes part in contests to record demos of the best times,
100 % kills, etc etc.
It is soooo hard and awesome. That level alone is a game
unto itself.

hhhmm, to be able to play this game is it should be played,
I'd have to invest $1400 in a new system, not even taking
into acount a new and much needed soundcard, so basically; I
can forget about it.
Btw Epohs, those diskettes in the picture aren't nearly
enough to fit this game on :) Funny idea though.

That would rock. I played the sequel again the other day...
one of the few games that can run acceptably on my computer.
I remember I was stuck in the first room for like 2 hours
once.

The deluge of amazing games coming out, starting with Doom
3, is going to be overwhelming. October to January is going
completely drain my bank account, my time, and my semen.

A part of me wants Doom, Half Life, Metal Gear and Halo to
crash and burn, just because I love people's reactions when
massively hyped shit sucks. Especially when fanboys get
defensive. But the smart part of me wants them to rock
because they will light up my life.

Where can I get zdoom and the mod that allows you to double
the screen resolution?

I downloaded Zdoom and the HR.wad pack, but it says it needs
a Doom or Doom2, heretic etc wad.... what do I need to make
this work?

The double screen resolution is part of the option menu in
zdoom (video mode).

I'm pretty sure having an "iwad" (one of the main original
wads by id, ie. doom2.wad, heretic.wad, etc.) is necessary
to prove that you purchased at least the original. So yes
you need doom2.wad, (but after you buy that hr.wad and zdoom
are free)... you can probably download doom2.wad on soulseek
or definatly buy it on ebay really cheap, maybe 5 dollars.

ps. when I downloaded zdoom, I had to modify the weird file
of text that came with it so you may have to also... I
forget the file extension but you should see it (if it's
even necessary to do so...)
The things I modified:
1) the list of guns (a bug I guess) forgot to list number 5
(rocket launcher), so simply write that in or pressing 5
during gameplay won't allow you to use it...
2) the screen dimensions were like... 480 by 240 or
something, but I had to reverse them (240 by 480) if I
remember right...

Also I had to fiddle around with the sound options in
zdoom's option menu, changing the sample rate or whatever
it's called because the game would temporarily freeze and
sound a beep occasionally with the default settings... it
still does unfortunately but much less frequently.

My zdoom is fucked, the screen flickers like a motherfucker.
