- Anyone have any idea what the storyline will be? Whether it will be escaping from an underground science complex, or maybe helping the Nali? hehe

- This is what I read on [url=http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/news/0,10870,2867650,00.html]GameSpot[/url] [quote] Doom III is a "retelling" of the original Doom, rather than a sequel to the events of the previous games. This return to the beginning of the Doom saga explains why the opening sequence of the demo showed what seemed to be the initial release of hellish demons into the world. Some of the original story elements have been changed--the game takes place on Mars, and there's no mention of the teleportation experiments between Deimos and Phobos. The game is set entirely on Mars, though Willits assures us that occult, demonic settings and imagery like those in the original game will also figure into Doom III. [/quote] Also there are more screenshots up, the only problem now is that you have to login to see them.

- More info on the story from [url=http://www.gamespy.com/e32002/pc/doom3b/index.shtml]gamespy[/url] [quote] For the game, id has enlisted the services of science fiction writer Matthew Costello to pen the game story and dialogue. Costello is no rookie to this sort of thing - you may recognize him as the writer of the 7th Guest and the 11th Hour games. The game has already been storyboarded from start to finish, so it's clear the developers know exactly what they're shooting for. You can expect the plot to be furthered along through a combination of in-game scripted scenes and in-engine cinematics, but nothing rendered - everything will happen inside the new engine. [/quote]

- Doom III does look good i must admit, but i want to see how well it runs on systems that dont have the latest and most expensive hardware. One other thing i want to know is will they be doing a linux port at the same time, im hoping they are still using opengl that way a linux port would be more than likely. At anyrate, a nice mpeg or divx of the trailer/preview would be nice.

- Plays fine on my system, and is nowhere near choppy. Smooth playback. I watched the WMV though, not the Quicktime video.

- Bleh this video sucks. The one you really want is the leaked Doom 3 movie that shows 9 whole minutes of actual gameplay. The graphics are absolutely amazing.

- Weird... what codec is this using? G
If the framerate of yesterday's QuickTime movies for DOOM III was somewhat disappointing, you may like to try the re-encoded Windows Mediaplayer versions, which boast a higher framerate for a better viewing experience.
Ditching Applications
Longtime Microsoft critics may welcome one feature new to Windows XP, meant to comply with the November 2001 antitrust settlement agreement between Microsoft and the Justice Department. Buried in the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs module, the new "Set Program Access and Defaults" settings allow both end users and system vendors to specify which programs handle key tasks, including Web browsing, e-mail, instant messaging, media playback, and Java interpreting.
In addition to selecting the default application, the new feature can also hide installed programs--including Microsoft programs--from users. For the first time since Windows 95 (which shipped with only a rudimentary media player), PC vendors armed with the updated version of XP will be free to ship systems that use browsers, media players, and other tools from Microsoft competitors like Netscape and Opera instead of Microsoft's own utilities.
IDC's Kusnetzky says he doubts many system vendors will go to that extreme, because it might confuse customers accustomed to using Microsoft tools. Still, he finds the settings a plus.
"If the features are used to embellish an otherwise standard environment to make it work more easily and be easier to support, the changes will be seen as both beneficial and a competitive differentiator," Kusnetzky says. It's important to note that removing access to the Microsoft tools is not the same as removing the tools entirely, Kusnetzky adds. The browser and media player will still be there. The icons, menu references, and Registry entries are removed, but not the software they point to.
Ready for Tablet PC
Although Microsoft says SP1's official release will be in the second half of 2002, it's likely to ship sooner than that so new PC designs supported by the service pack can reach stores in time for holiday shopping.
Supported are the Freestyle PC, geared to home entertainment and viewed through the television screen; the Mira PC with its detachable, wireless tablet display; and Tablet PCs, which offer handwriting recognition. According to Microsoft, all three PC designs will be in the market by fall, and will require SP1's enhancements.
Other SP1 enhancements include support for USB 2.0 devices (already available from Microsoft's Web site), and key changes to the Windows Product Activation antipiracy mechanism. Microsoft has added a three-day grace period to WPA that it says will prevent unexpected hardware changes from locking you out of your PC while you're on an airplane and away from a phone.
Microsoft is developing an update to Windows Media Player, code-named Corona, but it won't be ready in time for SP1, say company sources. And although Netscape is forging on with new versions of its browser, Microsoft says it has no imminent plans for an update to Internet Explorer.
As with previous service packs, Microsoft will make Windows XP SP1 available as a free download from WindowsUpdate.com, probably about the same size of previous service packs, which range from 25MB to 30MB. You can also order a CD for a nominal shipping and handling charge. Dutiful XP updaters needn't worry that installing SP1 will require downloading megabytes of duplicate patches--Windows Update will send only those features that you haven't already installed.
