August... can't wait for early August... and soon after... Half-Life 2!

Hopefully, this will be *the* badass survival-horror/FPS.

I think Doom 3 will be superior to Half-Life 2, but Half-Life 2 does have the mods going for it, I am interested in seeing the next incarnation of Day of Defeat.

Feh, Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 are just weaksauce. When Duke Nukem Forever comes out, that game will destroy them both!

PC Gamer has the first review: 94%

Then again, they had the exclusive and this was done before the game was gone gold, so I guess we should take the review with a grain of salt.

Also, on august 3, my computer officially becomes obsolete. Whee! Except for my videocard.

I'm looking forward to this, but HL2 is higher on my anticipation list. Still, it looks absolutely awesome.

What exactly are the specifications? I'm not getting this game, but I'm interested in knowing how much some people are going to pay to play a single game.

Sweet! I can't wait to play this in my dark computer room with headphones and noone to bother me!
I hope they kept everything that made Doom what it is!

Funny though, I replayed Domm I and II recently, and I finished both without ever dying in a single try. Having the keybord+mouse as controls really makes a difference I guess (or did I get better, I'm not that great at FPSs, really, I kinda suck actually).

Damn you Microsoft

because of you I can calculate faster than my computer!

probably something higher than a geforce 4 to get good frames

so get ready to shell out 400 more bucks for a new vid card

hl2 already looks old(far cry looks far better) but itll be able to run on systems that run the original hl!!!!!

I watched the trailer.... I may have to break down and get it on PC...... but I really would rather wait for the XBox one... I can't decide.

Either way, this game's going to RULE. I kind of wish the space marine was wearing his old-school helmet, though. That would have been the icing on the cake. I just need to go and buy the Doom 3 pack at the store now. All three original Doom games, only $10.

As far as a video card, you will need a GeForce 4 MX, wich is cool since not even Splinter Cell 2 runs on that one. GeForce 3 is a better card, by the way.

Got this from another forum, wich in turn was posted in an other forum, and now, I'm posting this in this forum. Forum. Forum:

***
PC Gamer recommends:
2Ghz CPU
512 MB ram
Radeon 9800
5-channel audio

Supported cards:
GF 4 MX
GF 3
GF 4
GF FX (and higher)
ATI 8500s, 9000s and higher
***

I'm guessing my Duron 950 and 256 ram ddr are not bad enough to rescue the president. And Doom 3. But I got an Ati 92000se. Whee!

And since this engine surely be the base for future FPSs (along with Half/Life 2, whenever its launched) you will really need the recommended hardware to play those, too.

Also, Valve once again lied, now with the specs for the new Half-Life. No Nvidia TNT support. (Yeah, like somebody actually uses that to play on a desktop hehe)

Still, I guess getting an Xbox with Live and Doom 3 will cost almost the same (or cheaper) than the upgrade I would need to run Doom 3 nicely.

Those are high specs... I dont know of any game (including the infamous Far Cry) that has specs like that. I recentlly shelled out $170 for a Radeon 9600XT... and that's a mid range card. It runs Pandora Tomorrow well with it. As for Doom 3... I don't care if I have to lower the resolution or turn off a few features or lower details, I care about the game running and being playable. I wish id would already release the minimum requirement already.

Seems like thse are, some sites credit this to a .plan update by Carmack.

Minimum:
CPU: 800 MHZ - 1 GHZ
GeForce 3 TI/ATi 9600 Pro
RAM: 256 MB RAM

Supousedly, the game does scale down nicely, but I will belive it when I see it.

actually no tnt support sucks :(

ive got a radeon 7200(= tnt 2 ithink) and it still runs everything with decent frame rates(except of course games that need ps)

The first doom was revolutionary and i mean like once you get that shotgun and you see that grin on your boys face? Perfection.

Plus the story was really cool too.

I dunno i think they kinda raised the bar a little too high with the last one. It will be tough to beat for doom 3.

I was referring to the "patched in" part... cuz I still don't think that coop has been patched in!

And wasn't it Gear Box (the HL OpFor team) that handled the Halo port?

Anyway... netcode and synchronization issues are hella mad to work with! Though I do remember one netcode mod for Q3 called Unlagged that was probably one of the first really successful user-made projects to try to create a serious alternative to the network code that came with the game...

Seems like those specs I posted were way old.

http://www.chron.com/cs/CDA/ssistory.mpl/tech/weekly/2690450

Todd Hollenshead, id's chief executive, said Doom 3 will require:

• A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500.
• 384 megabytes of memory.
• Two gigabytes of hard drive space.
• An nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card or better; or an ATI Technologies 8500 or better.
If your existing rig doesn't meet these specs, here's a guide to beefing it up to play Doom 3 in all its gory glory.

True, true. After reading that history of Id book (the one that focused on the two Johns) I found that Id's always kinda had that hacker ideal of one big self-improving programmer brotherhood. It's kinda heartwarming. But not really.

I know, because having other people make free, high quality content for you because they simply LOVE doing it and don't need any kind of monetary reward is WONDERFUL. Only now, they can create contests for best user-made project and hand off, oh, a million in total prizes for the prospect of getting a planet-dominating franchise product like Counter-Strike. Yes, please do continue to make stuff for the game you love, we'll even support you!

I can never decide whether user-made stuff deserves my warm love, or the most biting cynicism in regards to the original game developers.
