Oh yes, I'm vividly familiar with the music from the original Doom. 
I played the game so much I can hum most of its songs from memory. 
But the MIDI file you linked to won't play in WM for some reason... really weird. 
Anyway, the theme for Doom3 isn't so bad... it's just different. |

Not yet; a late fall release is the earliest I've heard of.
I'm waiting until they come out before I upgrade my graphics card again.
Put it this way - Doom 3 WILL use that memory if you have it. And to good effect, it seems.
Actually, it seems that the jump from 64 to 128MB has the biggest effect; going to 256MB just means it doesn't have to use texture compression, and 512MB means it can keep every texture in the game in graphics memory.
That's what I read, anyway... who knows what the real requirements are until one of the programmers actually says something?

I have just been saddened. Listen to the theme.
I mean, couldn't they have made the theme like E1M1? |

In the latest PC Gamer which I just tore through, it was reviewed.
It got an 94, 2 points lower than Far Cry. The only knock was that it attempted at humor and failed. |

Sweet! I have been waiting for this release for a long long time. Doom is cool! It sorta sucked on GBA, however, I was disappointed. These gfx on D3 look awsome but demanding... |

Football as in the one where you're not throwing the ball.
9700 Pro should like it just fine. I choose not to listen to all the ATI vs. nVidia BS. |

Well, I think my processor should be able to handle it easily enough... my graphics card might not like it too much though. (Radeon 9700 Pro)
CM = Championship Manager.
FM = Football Manager (new series being made by SI, makers of the original CM games. Eidos now has the rights to the CM name but not the code.)
Ah, okay.
Is that "football" as in "soccer", or "football" as in the sport where 2 teams try to kill each other without weapons?
Have any of you seen the scans of the PC Gamer magazine that were floating around?
Those Hellknights are UGLY. |

According to a .plan update by one of the big id guys, the demo will most likely be released after the game hits stores, as id focused on finishing the full game first.
Also, the technological grunt needed for full-quality graphics isn't really commerically available yet. |

Lots of them were good (especially the Keen series) but I guess it was easier to chug out 2D games than 3D ones. 
Well, the games also weren't nearly as huge as current ones are.
I like the CM (soon to be FM) series of soccer games, and since they cover a wide scope, they contain bugs - but the designers usually have a patch ready to go on release date, and support the product well.
CM? FM?
And yeah, support is great... it's a real shame when I company releases a product, gives one or 2 patches to fix the most annoying bugs (if that!), and then drops the game cold (*cough*Sierra!*cough*). |
