DOOM FREAKING THREE = GOLD
« on: July 14, 2004, 05:05:51 PM »
It's gone gold my friends. Four long years of wait. PC Gamer had the first review and gave it a 94%. It was only a matter of time before id said the magical words, "it's done"


GONE GOLD

August 5th. Everyone go pre-order a copy now and I expect at the next LAN that we get a ton of games going (seeing as how the max # of people in a multiplayer game is 4, but can be easily changed with a couple changes to some files).

REJOICE.

Wolfenstein? Doom 3 is totally not run-and-gun. Think Resident Evil only without the "walking tank" controls. Basically 'make you crap your pants'. The ammo is supposed to be scarce as hell(no pun intended). I have the review if you want me to post it, but by no means is the game a straight shoot 'em up like Wolfenstein.

To be honest, the previous versions were a bit heavy on the demonic references, and I will NOT be playing a game with that in it.

That is what I am trying to determine is if this version is the same as the previous ones.

Well in that case,  it is worse then the first not just heavy on the demons but at one point the character has to enter :hotbouns:"hell":hotbouns:  to  retrieve a key to seal the gate of above mentioned place of demonic residence.

Just wish there were a decent game written from the Christian point of view.

Somehow, I am thinking a FPS of the Crusades is a baaad idea.

"In Ultra quality, we load each texture; diffuse, specular, normal map at full resolution with no compression. In a typical DOOM 3 level, this can hover around a whopping 500MB of texture data. This will run on current hardware but obviously we cannot fit 500MB of texture data onto a 256MB card and the amount of texture data referenced in a give scene per frame ( 60 times a second ) can easily be 50MB+. This can cause some choppiness as a lot of memory bandwidth is being consumed. It does however look fantastic :-) and it is certainly playable on high end systems but due to the hitching that can occur we chose to require a 512MB Video card before setting this automatically."


Wow! They better hurry and get those $1000 video cards out so we can play this game.
