You lousy americans are getting it 5th of August, and some lucky bastards are going get Doom3 on 3rd of August. IT'S DONE!!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodekill Posted July 14, 2004 Doom was great because it really made you crap on the walls, like when it was dark and you'd hear a door open somewhere in the distance and then your guts exploded everywhere. I assume Doom 3 will be a similar experience. I can't wait to play it in ten years when I finally own a computer that can run it. Personal note: Purchase stock in Depends or whatever hell company owns them. Personal note, addendum: Get cash for purchase of stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrChlorophyll Posted July 14, 2004 Cool beans. Finally time to see it in action. For some reason or another, I refused to watch any videos. And screenshots have long since failed to impress me. Or maybe I'm just too damn synical for this life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JBRAA Posted July 15, 2004 Doom III Beta 2 has been out for a while. It's tricky getting it to run though. Doesn't run on some graphixcards. I want a 1.540.000 polygon Max model (of Sam & Max) to Doom3. And a idlethumbs doom3 server. wooho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intrepid Homoludens Posted July 15, 2004 Well, it's not like I've been masturbating ever since the initial announcement of the game and can finally climax when it hits the store shelves. Should be a nice little digital romp when we finally get to play. Too bad Xbox don't use mouse & keyboard, I'd love to do this one with my niece, nephew, and bro-law. BTW, anybody got a towel?

Ryam BaCo Posted July 15, 2004 Doom III Beta 2 has been out for a while. It's tricky getting it to run though. Doesn't run on some graphixcards. well...i...ahm...somebody else except me (phew!) played doom 3 beta 2 on a laptop with radeonn 9200 (!) graphic card, while our teacher told us what to learn for our final exams. worked quite good. nice toilet-scene.

Kolzig Posted July 15, 2004 Todd Hollenshead has updated his .plan again! Name: Todd Hollenshead Email: Description: CEO Project: Last Updated: 07/14/2004 22:47:45 (Central Standard Time) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7-14-2004 10:19 PM CDT A few bottles of champagne later (so excuse the typos).... First of all, thank you to everyone who sent congratulatory notes on the GOLD announcement. I speak for everyone at id when I say I wish I could respond to everyone personally, but hopefully this general note can convey how much we sincerely appreciate the sentiment from everyone out there waiting for the game. A few people have reminded me of some details omitted from my initial update: Mac and Linux: Unfortunately I don't have dates for either of these. However, Linux binaries will be available very soon after the PC game hits store shelves. There are no plans for boxed Linux games. More remains to be done for the OSX version of DOOM 3 and that will take some time. We won't release the OSX version until it's just as polished as the PC version. The date for OSX DOOM 3 remains "when it's done", but I can confirm that it's definitely coming. Demo: our priority was finishing the game first and now we are turning our attention to the demo. I don't have any information to share regarding any specific content, but I don't believe that we have ever disappointed in that regard in the past. We will release the demo as soon as it's done, but this probably won't happen until after the game has arrived on U.S. store shelves. Last, but not least, the id Store: we will have copies of DOOM 3 available, but only after we get them. I'm sure that some of the hardcore game retailers will get them even before we do. Check our website for updates on this. We certainly appreciate everyone who has helped to make the id Store a huge success this year. By the way, more DOOM 3 T-Shirts just arrived, so those popular items are back in stock and will be available this week. I understand that people have lots and lots of questions. We're working on pulling together some form of an official FAQ, but even though we're done we still have several responsibilities that are urgent as the game heads for retail. Please bear with us on this. I know I owe you those preparation tips, but they will have to wait until tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrChlorophyll Posted July 16, 2004 Damn. I just can't force myself to get excited about this. Have I become that cynical? Am I that jaded already? Or am I just so damned sick of the hype machine force feeding me it's propaganda that I just don't give shite anymore, now just gimme the game and let me play dammit!?!! Or on a more positive note, maybe I'm just so sure that it's going to be a masterpiece beyond contestation that I'm content to let it age like a cicada and wait for that perfect moment of realease that will eventually come anytime between now and seventeen years (and now we know that will be soon ) and then bask in its guaranteed perfection. When did I get so freakin' philisophical about this crap? It's a hobby, man! It's supposed to be fun! Now just gimme the game and let me play dammit!!

JimmyTheFish Posted July 16, 2004 Five bucks says its gonna suck. Mediocre at best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SiN Posted July 16, 2004 its gonna be great ... fifty bucks on that. idsoftware have never screwed up a game, they're not gonna start now. mind u, my definition & ur definition of good are prolly very, very different. SiN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manny_c44 Posted July 16, 2004 It got a 94% from PC gamer, so its not going to suck. Unless they were paid off. But if you look at Id's track record, although none of the games were story telling master-pieces they all looked fucking great when released and they were all very fun to play. I'm guessing thats how Doom 3 will be too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buck Posted July 16, 2004 PC Gamer is not a reference. The excitement for that game must also play a role I think... But I can't believe ID isn't going to give us a great game, as they always do. Trust I say guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindset Posted July 17, 2004 The official site is now up. Just downloaded the intro music teaser, and it sounds a lot like Tool. They have been mentioned in rumors before (both Tool and NIN have been mentioned, with Tool being the latest rumor). But this song sounds very Lateralus-ish (the song, not the album), so I'm guessing it's tool. Judge for yourself http://www.doom3.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
