funniest title ever
-

-
OMG!
I\'ve only been waiting 4 years for this game, I can wait a few more days.
-
OMG! I\'m like the only person who has no desire whatsoever to play this game!!
/OMG I coming into threads to bash games like mm!!!!!1111!!1!1
-
guy needs to turn AA on
Oh I wonder how sson before it pops up on Usenet/IRC
-
What if he can\'t turn aa on?
Damn me and my FX 5200:(
-
This guy is running it on a 5200.
-

-
OMG! I\'m like the only person who has no desire whatsoever to play this game!!

To further reiterate, Avatarr, Nvidia\'s vision of "well" is 1600x1200 with all the AA and AF thrown at it he can muster at 40FPS. You\'ll be able to play it just fine at lower settings.
-
Well, it turns out I won\'t be playing it today. *sigh*
-
Could I run it?
I have a amd athlon 2500+
512 MB of PC3200 ram
Geforce 4 MX420
-
Yes, you can, Vivi. The lowest requirements are a GeForce 3 with a pentium 4 1.5 ghz. Your athlon and your videocard exceed both.
-
Maybe he could, maybe. Does the GF4MX420 support pixel shaders? nVidia\'s site seems to think not.
-
According to ID, all GF4MX cards are supported. Here\'s what I dug up on Gamespot:
Minimum System: According to id, the minimum requirements to run Doom 3 are (As of 7/29/04):
DX 9.0-compatible 3D card w/ 64MB RAM
MS Windows 2000/XP
Pentium 4 1.5GHz or Athlon XP 1500+
384MB RAM
8x CD-ROM
2.2GB of HD space
Broadband (for multiplayer)
Supported 3D graphics chipsets:
ATI: Radeon 8500, 9000, 9200, 9500, 9600, 9700, 9800

The video card has got to go, that\'s crazy to play doom3 on the G4mx.
-
Vivi spends all his money on drugs, he can\'t afford an upgrade. Right, Vivi? ;)
-
Overclock your CPU, and buy a used Ti-4200 or something similar for under $80 and overclock that too!

In a 3 week period, I only hit the boudah once.

Its a miracle
BTW PS2 could run his settings :rolleyes: I wish. I dont want to buy a F***ing videocard.
-
I just upgraded to a hold-over card. (in between my former GF3 and future GF6) Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB.
$230 at Microcenter.com, and it\'s worth the price. Above $230, I\'d go all out for a 6800GT/Ultra.
-
Good work Blade. On another positive note, the Gamestop orders for Doom 3 shipped today so it will be here for me tomorrow (go free fedex next day air!). Can\'t wait.
-
i don\'t really like fps\'s..game looks good...they need to have a third person view version..:mad:
-
Ryu did you do the preorder D3 + HL2 deal too? Thanks for letting me know btw, it was a pretty sweet package for free overnight shipping.
-
have not will not play a first person shooter just dont like them.
-
Cyrus: If you ever do try one, make it D3. I have not heard one truly negative thing about it.
Ryu: I\'ll probably be able to run it at 10x7 or 8x6 at Medium/High quality at the framerate I want, then double it with the 6800U in a few months so I\'m happy. Also, the GS online deal is soooo much better for D3.
You don\'t pay taxes and you don\'t pay for shipping.. and you don\'t have to go to the local GameStop.
Just sit on your ass and save the $5 sales tax. Maybe I\'ll get a free t-shirt too, they owe me. I\'ve gotten two t-shirt bonuses.. one was for the wrong game and another didn\'t come. I don\'t care that much though, because I ordered a D3 shirt through idsoftware.com already anyway.
-
Will you wear it on the streets to get instant street cred?
-
Yah, I did the HL2\\Doom 3 deal. Great deal in my opinion especially since I don\'t live in Texas or New York [the only two states GS charges sales tax on]. The only problem is that I may have to have them upgrade the order from the standard HL2 to the CE.
-
Played Doom 3 on Sunday at my brothers house(he has a 6800 Ultra). Must say that after a few hours the game loses its appeal. Then again I think we all knew this before hand, Doom 3 is nothing mote than the original doom with pretty graphics.
Keep in the mind the first couple of hours the game is pretty awesome, but it\'s graphics just for the record is only marginally better than far cry indoor.
DOOM 3 none the less is worth the money so go pick your copy up
asap.
-
I knew this is how the game would be. Graphics can only be a selling point for so long. People will look back on this and see what all the fuss was about. The people who will be playing it though will enjoy its single player game and then will enjoy its multiplayer aspects for a long time. I\'m sure many here will enjoy plenty of levels just with the simple co-op functionality that a mod group is working on now.
-
Sigh* dont know if its worth the purchase + a new vid card. Ive been MIA with pc gaming for a long while w/ the exception of UT2004 every now and then. This and HL2 were what got me interested but with the pricetags of the new cards (that and some more ram), I dont know if ill make the jump from console.
meh.
-
Mine came today - ordered from local EB. I have my 6800 GT installed so life is good! ;)
-
Not impressed, or should I say I am bitter? My PC is not finished and won\'t be until early - mid September, so I won\'t actually play DOOM 3 until it is old new\'s.
Go figure.
-
My PC is not finished and won\'t be until early - mid September
Your not missing out on anything special. Now if it were HL2 and you didn\'t have your computer ready, I would be very bitter as well.
-
Yea my computer will hopefully be in by early september the latest. I\'ve been a non-gamer for awhile due to computer restrictions. I can\'t wait to learn and OC my CPU and vid card.
-
Haha, just finished playing a couple hours of it. It\'s very fun and scary. I hate having to switch back and forth between flashlight and weapon. :P Multiplayer gets crazy when you get posessed, feels a lot like Quake.

Me 3.
but i\'ve actually spent about 2 hours on it just to see what\'s the fuss about.
The sound effects is great...really scary. The graphics make good use of lightning, but can be annoying after awhile.
Too bad the game sucks, just like every FPS out there...nay...i think there are better FPS out there.
Yawwnn...
-
so i guess they should just stop releasing fps\'s...and RPG\'s...and racing games....and forget sports titles
:rolleyes:
-
So far all Im hearing is that ID put all their effort into graphics and absolutly nothing in gameplay.
-

Where have you been for the last 8 years, Just kidding;)
Other then the original doom and quake 1, ID has never really been known for creating innovative/creative gameplay. Doom 3 as I\'m sure most people expected is nothing more then a game that showcases the ID engine.
ID makes the best engines in the pc industry, as many of us have been saying ID ought to just focus on making engines and leave the game creation up to the talted gameplay developers. Matter of fact, most of the doom 3 engine was finished almost 2 years ago.
-
im running it on an anthlon64 3200+ with 1280 mb ram, radeon 9800 pro 128mb ram. im at 4xaa high settings and its running great. i just go into task manager and end a bunch of the processes i dont need before i play.
i bought a creative 89 dollar 5.1 surround sound speaker setup and that is the only way to go with this game. with the sound cranked and all the lights off its freakn scary. im only a little into it. just saw my first little piece of hell)
but man the scares are kinda like the dobermans jumping thru the window in the first resident evil. they really send you back in the chair haha
-
Anyone trying to play this on their widescreen TV will be disappointed. There seems to be no way to get true 16:9 support from this damn game.
Funny thing is Xbox should have it. :o I hope iD/AV release a patch within a week to enable it.
-
Yah, no 16x9 just pisses me off on this one.
-
The game sounds good but it won\'t run on my computer. I can put in a new graphics card, have the disk space and can upgrade the RAM, but my machine is 5 years old (Win 98SE), Pentium 3 Processor (550 MHz) and my mom won\'t buy a new machine, despite the myriad of problems it suffers. There is also a Rome game that I want but I know my computer won\'t be able to play it. I think I\'ll buy it anyway and just hold onto it until I get my laptop.
-
My friend told me that Raedon is coming out with a vid card that will include a copy of Half-Life 2. Is this true? I think he said it was a 9800 something. And didnt Nvidia come out with some FX\'s that crush it?
-
the 9800 series has been out and the newest top of the line pentium is the x800xt platinum edition. you wont notice a huge difference between a top of the line nvidia or ati card really
-
You guys beat it yet? Ending is cool but they needed to expand on the story more, I\'m still very interested in the original martians.
I remember there were two points where you had to make a decision:
[sp]
1) Earlier in the game eithere extend the service bridge with lights on or go on the ground with lights off. I did the bridge, probably a minor choice.
2) Send out the message from the Comm room. If you don\'t do it Swann says something different.[/sp]
I made save points at each choice and will go back to see if it makes any sort of difference in the story.
-
Theres also
[sp]The dood that is stuck in this machine room, if you activate it the machine covers him and he gets fried. All that remains of him is his skeleton. If you let him go he gives u access to a room that has a minigun in the locker. Although I’m not sure if u still get access even if you kill him.[/sp]
Still very cool to watch though.
