Doom 3

[Jacob]

Come tell me what you think what doom 3 will be like and put some screen shots up if ya want


This is my fave shot!

[TomtheMighty]

Well, it is going to be a remake of the original doom...sorta. Instead of endless hellspawn hordes flung at you to kill, the game is going to be slower, more methodical and scary.

[cstdenis]

Based on the demo its going to be very good.

It looks like it will have mood elements like monsters ripping through the wall in front of you, and more scary mood setting music. Bah, I can't explain well, just download the demo.

As long as it has the pinky demon in it, I'll be happy.

((Sigh)) Boy do I remember the good old days of doom, when I would sit my four-year-old ass in front of the Computer screen and get the crap scared out of my by Doom 1.

I checked out the preview of Doom 3 in PC Gamer, and hot damn does it look good! They said that it would be bloody as hell, and that it's very very scary. The graphics are supposed to be amazing. The only thing that they really changed was the fact that, unlike Doom 1 and 2, it's going to be more methodical and challenging instead of just a gushy bullet frenzy (aww... ).

I wonder if they'll have god mode in this one also...

[Lexar]

It's going to take one hell of a monster pc to run the game at the settings shown in the screenshots, so unless you have the absolute state of the art uber 1337 cpu, it's going to look a little less impressive.

[IdiotOfTheDead]

Can't wait to see what new guns and monsters it has. I hope the cyberdemon stays

[Jacob]

I havent seen any screenshots of cyberdemon yet spider mastermind is going to look awesome but i still dont know what 1337 means......but my cpu should beable to run it, i might have to go and get a new video card is what im being told ><

[Jacob]

I got the game Muhahahaha
scary as hell to im only like 10 mins into it and i got scared @.@ i so i had to get off and join multiplayer to see whats it like. Pretty good nice graphs so i will prob give this a 10/10 easy so i have one thing to say to Lexar.. HAHA i got it b4 you!

Here's the system requirements if you're curious. Man I've got to get this game... As soon as I buy UT2004 <_< But that should be very soon :D

[b]Minimum System[/b]: According to id, the minimum requirements to run Doom 3 are:

DX 9.0-compatible 3D card w/ 64MB RAM
MS Windows 2000/XP
Pentium 4 1.5GHz or Athlon XP 1500+
384MB RAM
8x CD-ROM
2.2GB of HD space
Broadband (for multiplayer)


[b]Supported 3D graphics chipsets[/b]:
ATI: Radeon 8500, 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800
Nvidia: GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, GeForce4 Titanium, GeForce FX, GeForce6

[b]Ultimate System[/b]: HardOCP also outlined its dream system, which consists of:

BFGTech GeForce 6800 Ultra OC (goes on sale in mid-August)
AMD Socket 939 Athlon 64 FX-53 w/ 1MB L2 cache
ABIT AV8 motherboard
2GB of Corsair XMS RAM


[b]System Video Quality Settings[/b]: In addition to explaining the game's four quality settings--low, medium, high, and ultra--the guide provides reference screenshots contrasting the low, medium, and high settings as well as the high and ultra settings.

[b]Resolution[/b]: HardOCP's analysis of resolution settings came to a surprising conclusion: Doom 3 does not require antialiasing. Instead, the guide suggests simply increasing the resolution settings. HardOCP suggests a "sweet spot" of 1024x768 resolution set to high quality.

[b]Nvidia Versus ATI Image Quality[/b]: Following a controversial benchmark test that said Doom 3 performed best on an Nvidia GeForce 6800GT, the site again compares GPUs from the two leading manufacturers. The results? HardOCP found that "the ATI Radeon X800XT-PE has slightly more aliasing than the Nvidia GeForce 6800Ultra OC," but also noticed some "odd texture patterns exhibited by the GeForceFX 5900Ultra." Overall, though, the guide found that "there are no major differences in image quality between NVIDIA and ATI video cards when playing DOOM 3 at the same settings."

[b]Value Video Card Image Quality[/b]: For gamers with not-so-deep pockets, HardOCP tested lower-end GPUs, with surprising results. "By default, all of the advanced quality settings such as shadows, specular lighting, and bump mapping are enabled," it said. "As long as your video card meets the system requirement of a GeForce4 MX-440 64MB, all of these effects will be available to you."

[b]Enthusiast Video Card Image Quality[/b]: The site also displayed several spectacular-looking screenshots from the game running on the highest-end BFGTech GeForce 6800 Ultra OC and ATI Radeon X800XT-PE cards.

[b]General and Specific System Performance Analysis[/b]: The guide outlines the general system performance, tested on a minimum-spec system provided by id Software. The testers also analyzed the performance of dozens of other GPU-specific systems, ranging from the BFGTech GeForce FX 5700 Ultra 128MB to a Vision Tek Radeon 9800XT 256MB.

I wouldnt buy ut2004 first <_< its not as good as Doom 3, Doom 3 graphs are the best of this year when on a site i saw ut2004 only got a 7/10 when doom 3 got a 9/10

all togather ut2004 got a 8/10 and doom 3 10/10 so i fi was you i would get Doom 3 first, but when you play it, play it at night and shut the door with no lights on what so ever lol that should give you a big scare but this game is awesome. and haha i got it you dont lol

[n8comics]

Gamespot gave UT2004 a 9.4/10 and Doom 3 an 8.5/10. Both pretty good ratings, but their review on UT2004 was more convincing. Yeah the Doom 3 graphics are really good, even with a crappy graphics card, but from what I'm hearing Doom 3's gameplay is a little "iffy" and the multiplayer sucks (supports up to 4 players? no thanks... I'll take Halo up against that anyday.) Plus Doom 3 doesn't really have much explanation or detail to the main character. I really don't care about that last one, but a better multiplayer would be nice. You see, I'm more of a multiplayer kind of guy, rather than a campaign/story FPS player. If Doom 3's multiplayer was better (from what I've heard) I [i]might[/i] consider in getting it first. If Doom 3 recieved a 10/10 from Gamespot, I [i]might[/i] consider getting it before UT2004. It's really based on my liking of gameplay and multiplayer

[Jacob]

Well actually it supports more then 4 ppl in a room some rooms have 8 9 10 and 16 i usually join the higher player rooms cause more action but its multiplayer is pretty good..

on this game you can like shoot the side of a zombies head and a chunk is missing and you can blow their eyes out, on ut2004 can you do that? lol but it has alot of gore like zombies will eat other zombies and stuff, but i rather take doom 3 over UT2004 anyday.

[n8comics]

Can you drive vehicles in Doom 3? Are there crap loads of multiplayer maps in Doom 3? Can you use voice chat with your team in Doom 3? Can you customize your characters in Doom 3? Can you? I like multiplayer better than campaigns ^_^ It's my "thing."

[Lexar]

I'm getting it for free one of these days, so we'll see. But I think I'll play UT2004 and it's mods a lot more than Doom3.

Graphics... pfff, so stupid.... they get old real fast. Gameplay rules. Snes games rule and pwn most new games.

And, no, I'm not saying it because my pc can't run Doom 3. I have more than the minimum requirements in every aspect, except for the videocard, but I'll change it real soon. But even so, it's pretty decent (GforceFX 5200 128mb)

[LadyoftheDeadlyDance]

I dunno, I'll have to convince my ma to get the game for me, since I'm flat out broke. I'm hoping that the gameplay is good, but not like Resident Evil, ya know? Those were good games, but I'm hoping they were able to capture enough terror and gore to make the older games proud.

[anime_slacker]

I have seen screen shots from doom3 and it looks pretty sweet. I think it wqill be great.
Even though Im not really a doom fan.
