And I'm going to show my lack of restraint and indifference by driving the 200KM round trip to get a copy, even though I have 2 coppies on pre-order locally, which unfortunately wont show up until tommorrow. It is August the 3rd, nay, It is DooM the 3rd !!
I have called ahead, and been called a Head, they assure me if I am on there doorstep at 8am, I'll get what I desire
I'd like to point out that this game contains some genuinely disturbing visuals. The gore is excessive and realistic, without resorting to camp, and the descent into Hell itself is not without its own myriad of devilish imagery. If I can get one thing across in this review, it's that this is one of the most evil games I can think of - and that's fine by me.
http://www.telefragged.com/reviews/doom3/ I haven't read the review, I have gone back into DooM3 info Shutdown , but that little snippet on the front page of PlanetDooM just sounded nice, warm and comforting. My local EB, who I just preordered it from becuase they guaranteed me a copy tomorrow, won't have it until 3pm anyway, I get out of work at 5.
But I've already taken the week after next off for vacation to start mapping :D Can't imagine a better vacation. My brother called ten minutes ago to brag that he already has a copy. Damn, he beat me this time.
I have some Quake maps I need to polish up before I really get into Doom mapping or else I'll never finish them. Intense......................................

Press Ctrl+Alt+~(Tilde) to bring up the command console in a single player game: give doom95 - Load the '95 version of Doom give doom95 doesn't work from what I've been told.
ctrl-alt-tilde is console, but then if you set com_allowconsole 1 you can use just tilde to bring down the console like in Quake. I really want to map for Doom3.
Soon...once I finally have the new computer. I think it will be a bit of a jump for me going from software based Quake/Quake2 mapping into Doom3! runs like a dog on my pc at work but the game is till scaring the crap out of me. I had to go take a dump twice earlier. Not sure if it was the high fibre cereal, or doom 3 that was doing it.
Still, it's wicked. Don't think I'm very far into the game yet. I've got the chaingun, but I've had it a while. Read a PDA message saying something about the BFG though =] CD burner
second hard disk drive (80GB or more) WinXP Pro (before course runs out) 3D card Myst III Morrowwind GOTY (both expansions y'know) Uru (that edition with the expansions) Doom3? (this last in pencil) Priorities, y'know. At work yesterday we were deploying some computers in a flight-control room on base here. Lots of dimly lit rooms with bright monitors, in addition to steel panelling and little tech whatsits all over the place. If nothing else wanted to make me want to play doom3, that sure did :)
What an awesome fucking game so far :D only an hour and some into it, but :D :D :D
Running great on my system, medium quality 800x600. Think I could handle a bit more, but I'll chill at these settings for now as the game looks fucking excellant as is. Yes it is AWESOME alright, I've haven't experienced anything quite like it. As some one said in a review/article about some of the things you see/experience in the game "It's just wrong lol, deliciously wrong :)
But I've already taken the week after next off for vacation to start mapping :D
So I guess we can kiss RubicoSM goodbye, no? What are your specs? I'm thinking of picking it up, should fare well on 2ghz, 512MB RAM, 256MB GeForce 5600XT - but I'm not certain my card has some of the latest features D3 probably takes advantage of.
GF FX 5600 256mb ?
You should be right, that card is DX9, there are people playing on lower specs than that. You will hafe to probably run at 800x600, or 640x 480 or what ever it is, medium to high. The game looks good even at lower res/detail levels, and apart from that, it really is the atmosphere that will kick you in the pants, simple amazing. Go for it, you won't regret it. You need Windows XP or 2000 I beleive, plus medium to high might be a little over, maybe low to medium, but it depends really on what your willing to accept in the trade off, some will accept more stuttering etc, for better image quality, others would rather smoothness over image quality. Have a read around the forums, see what others are running on. But if I was you, I would definitely go for it. Got to go get back to the action
