Doom 3

[Zach]

Playing it right now.

SHould have a review done for HPH in a few days.. sweet :ph34r:

[Lefteris_D]

Can you give us some hardware specs about your system?

[onewecallgod]

a friend of has:
XP Tbred 1800+ @ 2.5ghz
9700pro @ 412/340

and he runs it with 4x AA 1024x[whatever the hell this part is] with full detail. he gets around 40-50fps

Neco, what graphics settings you running at?

[Zach]

1.7ghz on 180 FBS, 144 ram, 512MB. Ti 4200 (4400 speed). No AF, no AA. Optimal IQ settings.

800x600 and game autodetects.

It can get choppy real fast.

You need a beast to play it smooth. End of story.

Im downloading it as we speak......The beta was pretty scary with all the dark corners and all......Something u dont wanna play at night ehhh.

You guys know if the retail version runs through an ATI Radeon 9200SE 256MB card? It's one of those cheaper ones. I know I know, why didn't I get a 9800XT, well, they're expensive, and I rather upgrade my RAM than anything... 8]

[onewecallgod]

it will probably run fine without any AA/AF and low detail and low resolution

Fucker it was 3am and I had the LIGHTS OUT

It will also run balls on a 9200.. the extra video ram may help slightly tho

MAn I just played it this morning....Pretty good game...lots of cool details freaky things poping outta everywhere.....plus the storyline at the moment is pretty good :)

those hellknights just scare the shit out of me

[Guitar Gamer]

So would you all say it's worth buying? Speaking from the perspective of someone who doesn't play too many shoot-em-up games.

[shadowwoelf]

man that game rocks i love the suspense they really game far in makeing the game

[shadowwoelf]

came* srry i am not that good of a typer when i am tyoeing fast

[Splize]

<_< :angry: Man this game is pissing me off...the first time i played it it went smooth now its lagging always...wtf

[Edea]

I'm going to buy it shortly. I'm really anxious to play it and I hope it's as good and scary as everyone let's on. :ph34r:

The game plays pretty good on my old ass pc.
I have athlon 1.1ghz
512 sdram at 100mhz
and an ati 9000pro 128mb

it runs smooth as sil at 1024x768 at low settings.
it still looks amazing at low settings.

here's a trick to improving your framerate.

Hold on a sec... I just saw and played it at a friend's house. For $60, it's really not worth it. Everything is indoors', and there are too few enemies. The lighting is very dark and you'll need to get the patch to get the flashlight gun... Good thing I didn't waste my money on it...

HOPEFULLY, Half Life 2 won't be disappointing...

[Splize]

U moron Its inside cuz ur on mars

[ShadowWarrior]

Did you just call me a moron because I think Doom 3 sucks? That's okay... After Pam, you are all good to me... 8]

Anyway, at least in Doom 3, they can add a stage where you're out strolling around in a space suit or something in a canyon of some sort to reach some sort of generator, etc, etc. Eg: in KotOR when you had to walk around on the ocean floor to find some injector thingy.

I mean, they could have used some further imagination. I was hoping to see something more, experience something more than solely stunning graphics.

[Lefteris_D]

Well they could have added more outdoors stages. Heck, we know they had plenty of time to do it.

[Zach]

There were parts where you were outdoors.

In a suit no less


required to pick up O2 canisters no less
