DOOM 3 to be released this summer!

RZetlin · May 12th, 2004

I just read that DOOM 3 will be this summer of 2004.

I can't wait!

Zer0Soul · May 12th, 2004

Silly RZetlin, you wait for hope.

Delay's are in the essence of the three. (Halo,Half-life 2, & Doom 3)

I wish you luck. I know I am not looking forward to them anymore.

**Razor Blade** · May 12th, 2004

I am. But not counting on them. When they arrive they do. I am not gonna count down to anything anymore.

Doom 3 has never once been delayed, since never once a release date has been set. When ID sets release dates, they typically stand by them, since it's the only release date they set and it's done so close to the date.

Yup Doom III for PC should be out this summer and Doom III for X-Box this fall. Gonna get 'em both.
sincerely,

/me smacks forehead

Heh. I can't wait for it either. According to some *cough*UNKNOWN*cough* source, even the alpha *cough*would*cough* run on my PC just fine..

Sorry, got a cold.

As a fan of the Doom (and Quake) series, I can't wait. I like a good, mindless shooter just as much as the next man.

I cant wait eather, but im getting a 9800xt at the end of the school year to replace my crappy MX440

Radix865 · May 14th, 2004

I hope there will be some improvment on the story side... and in the level planning...

Ali · May 14th, 2004

I won't be buying it till Winter, my rig has now started to cough a bit when playing games. Oh well Nvidia 6800 GF will get a bit cheaper by then

Regulus · May 14th, 2004

I cant wait either. After seeing the trailer, seems that this game will do some serious ass-kicking. My PC should be more than enough.

If anything, the full product will run better. The alpha was heavily un-optimized and rushed.

**Kane** · May 14th, 2004

And yet the engine itself I'm sure has changed drasticly to take advantage of futher advances in graphics hardware

sxamiga · May 15th, 2004

I am excited, as excited as the next person, over Doom 3. But as far as a brand new story line goes, forget it. ID and John Carmack have said that Doom 3 will be a remake of the Original Doom (still my all time favorite FPS) but with the very latest in todays graphics and technology. Still, from the pictures I've seen, who cares if it is a remake, it looks just fantastic. One that I can hardly wait for.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

l3illyl3ob · May 15th, 2004

well, it's not really a remake, more of a retelling. A remake would imply same level designs, monsters, weapons, etc, with just improved graphics. This is a completely new game with completely new content across the board. It's just you're supposed to forget the first two ever happened, and this is the first doom now... Kinda wierd to do, but that's the idea.
