| And it's about god damn time too. Yeesh, I remember when I thought Half Life 2 was going to be out WAY before this. I should slap myself. Anyway, I saw it advertised last week on Gamestop saying August and I'm like "No way..." LET THE CARNAGE BEGIN! >=D (Actually....LET THE PROCESSOR MELTING BEGIN!) I'll probably pick it up for a console. Don't want my comp to fucking explode. |

Originally posted by LegionIt's moments like these that make me wish this board had a smiley for a devilish grin.  Minimum requirements are supposedly in the low GHz CPU w/GF4 MX range. So, it shouldn't be TOO bad. Recommended is 2GHz CPU with a Radeon 9800 Pro*, IIRC. *: Pretty much all of my info on requirements came from this thread from PlanetDOOM's forums. |

Any reports of an official... demo?  If this new PC doesn't run it I'd be shocked and appalled.  This better be a good game, because if it doesn't live up to expectations... well, it won't. By that I mean it's probably going to be a great game, but some of those fans might expect perfection... We'll see. |

Originally posted by ColleenNothing I've heard of yet, but that doesn't mean there won't be one. It should; see above. Well, I heard that PC Gamer gave it a 94%, but I don't read that mag, so I don't know how good they are at reviewing such things. |

| ...I wonder if it can go up against the modern FPS thought. And it should be runnable on most PC's, if you tune the graphics down. It took around ten years for the succosor to came out! That's quite long time...  |

Originally posted by Kitten YifferI had to explain to my wife why I was bouncing off of the walls earlier like a hyper 7-year old. It went something like this: Me: "Doom3 is coming out, Doom3 is coming out!!! "Her: "Okay, you'll get it when it's in the stores" Me: "Doom3 is coming out, Doom3 is coming out!!! "... Eventually I calmed down enough to explain that I've been waiting for this since the first rumors started so long, long ago.... |

| 94% would be in the "phew" category, I think. I always worry for games that are in development forever - either they got it right or there were a lot of problems.  |

Originally posted by ColleenThat's the thing I like the most about id: they wait until it's not just done, but done right, before releasing it. Some games these days feel like they've been rushed out too early to meet a deadline. And id's games don't usually have very many bugs, which isn't something you can say about a lot of game companies these days (and software companies in general). |

| Look how many shareware games id released in 1991. Lots of them were good (especially the Keen series) but I guess it was easier to chug out 2D games than 3D ones. 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. |

Originally posted by ColleenWell, the games also weren't nearly as huge as current ones are. 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*). |

| 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.  |

| The requirements floating around are insane but those apparently HAVE been toned down somewhat. Basically if you have a decent graphics card and processor, you should be able to run the game fine at low detail - which still looks great. Of course, if you are a rich little bugger and have the cash for a 3 GHz chip and a high-end graphics card (even with 512MB)... 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.) |

Originally posted by ColleenWell, 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)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. |

| 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. |

| 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. |
