Doom III Confirmed For Xbox

Advertisement (Why?)

John Carmack confirms that the graphically impressive first-person shooter will come out for the Xbox and will match the visual fidelity of the PC version.

Id Software had previously expressed interest (link) in doing an Xbox version of its upcoming first-person shooter, but hadn't confirmed that there would be a console version of the game. Today during his keynote at QuakeCon, id's John Carmack said that the Xbox is the only console platform that id is "completely committed" to releasing Doom III on. Carmack further commented that the Xbox version will have the "full graphics fidelity" of the PC version, which made a major debut at this year's E3, where it won a number of awards. Id Software has said that work on the Xbox version won't start until the PC game is complete. At QuakeCon 2002, id expressed hope that the game would be done before next year's E3 in May.

Man, Doom 3 is going to be sweet, it's the sole reason for me upgrading next year. I currently have a radeon 7500, I thought about gettign a Geforce 4 ti4600, but hell, I think I'll get the fastest ATI silicon at the time this game ships, since carmack seems high on ATI right now, the game will be sure to run well on it.
